I think you're probably overestimating what the average wage is for both us and premiership teams in general. Probably only Stevie, Suarez and Carra get it with us. Maybe Pepe.
I'd say excluding us and the top 5 teams, no players are paid that amount in the league.
100k a week is 5m quid a year.

I don't know if there's any definitive figures but I saw in my google search that Hendo gets 65k a week. That's too much for him and even if it wasn't, I don't see how Walcott could justify getting 50% more.

Suarez gets less than that I think, around 80k, but if he doesn sign a new deal as has been mooted, that will change that. Johnson is on over 100k pw as well I believe.

He's just signed a new contract though and there is a "gentleman's agreement" that Rodgers wouldn't buy anyone from Swansea for a year

Yeah it seems a strange one.

Poster on a Swansea forum just posted this which makes it seem all the more unlikely.

Straight from the horses mouth and 2 people close to him, he's not going to liverpool even though Rodgers told Joe he'd take him. There's been no contact and even if there was, he wants to stay. His Mrs is weeks away from giving birth and are settled into their new home together.

He is a massive Utd fan and would only move to Liverpool if it was right for us as a club and him and his long term development with financial gain at the back of his mind.

That is about as final as anything in football. Unless Utd come in with a great offer, he's going nowhere this season.

How the hell did we manage to get Suarez at all...

It's brilliant.

SlickRic · 16-07-2012 01:07PM

fúcking Utd fan.

didn't want him anyway...

If we offer Walcott 100k a week it makes Rodger's supposed stand on the Siggurdson deal look like a bit of a joke I'm afraid.

I'd be happy to see Walcott sign at the right price and no more than say, 60k a week. But I don't think thats possible judging by the noises coming from his camp. Move on I would think.

As for RVP, Stevie, Luis and Rooney, lets face it they get more than 100K

I don't think RVP and Luis Suarez are on more than 100k per week.

I don't think he's worth 100k a week either, just playing Devils advocate here. More importantly I doubt BR will think he's worth more than a 100k.

If Arsenal won't give him that, maybe he might feel pissed with them and want a transfer, then with him being a massive Liverpool fan, he would come to us on pretty much what he is already on, which is what... 60k?

If we could get him for 75K..wouldnt be all that bad would it?

He'd still wind up being a squad player.

Or, more likely, instead of 100k a week we could find plenty of players happy with 50-80k and spend 14m-18m on the transfer fee.

If he thinks he's worth 100k per week it's up to him to force his way in to that team.
It would seem that Marin will be a squad player there.
I stand by my earlier post that IMO he's more likely to stay at Arsenal or go to Chelsea than join Liverpool this summer.

To be fair I don't think anyone has said will be offered 100k per week.
I think the point is that if they are his demands then a move to Liverpool is very unlikely.

I'd take that.

He's young enough to develop his crossing, finishing and alot of other features of his game. I've been incredibly critical of him in the past but when you consider how young he still is then it somewhat puts it in perspective.

For now he offers width, pace and an attacking threat - I'd like to see him in the team....give them Joe Cole in part exchange :pac:

I might be wrong but I think it's even less than 80k
I'm open to correction on this

The usually reliable Ben Smith says there is interest from Liverpool in Walcott

BorneTobyWilde · 16-07-2012 01:38PM

''Magpies would have essentially loaned Carroll to Liverpool for 18 months to finance the rebuilding of their squad before taking him back at a cut-price fee.''

SSN just said Clint Dempsey has turned down 3 year deal at Fulham & wants to join Liverpool

Love how joe is getting stuck in in the 3rd one :rolleyes: also marty is rocking a serious crew cut, nice! Odd to see aquaman back in club gear and on that note the training gear :eek:

Toni Silva - discuss

great news if true.

Dempsey

Borini

Suarez.

that's not too shabby.

i'd like a proper winger though in a wide-forward position on one side at least, and have Dempsey as a player who can cover any hole in the team that needs filling. be it on the wing, or the point of 3 in the midfield 3.

I am SO jealous. Imagine that was your job?!?!?
That would be AWESOME, even in the rain...

Is this the first time Liverpool have had a different manager for the start of 4 successive seasons? Sobering thought. Hopefully that trend will stop now.

NEDDURC · 16-07-2012 02:00PM

Random question - why do players wear those short socks and no shin gaurds in training?

Heres hoping, but im quietly confident Rodgers knows his stuff

Tusky · 16-07-2012 02:05PM

Can't believe people are open to Walcott . He would only be worth it he was super cheap - which wont happen.

He's no more than an impact sub - £10m max.

Positivity can quickly disappear if results don't go well but if he continues to sign 2/3 more and not over pay for them, clear out a few and play good football then he should at least be given more time than previous managers to get things right.

It was for Aurelio.

They all wore them when he was there out of solidarity. In some training sessions they were seen with bubblewrap helmets too

Now he's gone they aren't needed as much

I think you're underrating him there, god knows he's frustrated me more often as an Arsenal fan but he is useful. His stats as I pointed out in the Arsenal thread are comparable/better than Skys wunderkid Gareth Bale.

Having said that, I'd be surprised if he signed for you for a number of reasons.

Probably explains the interest in Walcott but I wouldn't want to be splashing maybe half our budget on him, we've been down the expensive winger road before!

Starting to think maybe selling Carroll makes sense if we could get £15 Million upwards towards transfers.

RVPs current contract with us is £90k/wk.

Walcott is reputedly on £60k looking for £100k with us willing to go to £80k.
