    Been rumours for the past few days it's 17-18M rising to 25M depending on hitting certain targets, if so, I'm alright with the deal as 15M was the figure I had in mind for him and which was reportedly our first offer.

    Also Tadic will more than likely be Lallana replacement at Southampton going by Dutch media.

    Do Atleti get to keep Courtois, as Part of the Deal?

    Nope thank christ.

    Talks of Lukaku on loan to Atleti alright though. This soon in pre season and Lukaku isnt even back at Chelsea Id say nothing will happen on that front for a few weeks.

    Newcastle will announce the signing of Ajax captain, Siem de Jong either tonight or tomorrow) signed a 5-year contract according to the de telegraaf. Read earlier he had left Ajax' training camp earlier today to fly over for the medical.

    What position does he play mate? I see some sites list him as a striker and some list him as an attacking midfielder.

    Pretty much anywhere centrally, midfield or upfront. I've only seen him play as a AM or CM though whenever I've managed to catch an Ajax game.

    It appears he'll be used as a #10 per the north-east based journalists. £6m is the reported figure which would appear to be a very good price for Newcastle, but one would wonder why bigger teams that could offer European football haven't gone for him given his availability/price and considering how highly he seems to be rated? Strange one, but it does look to be an extremely nice piece of business for Newcastle.

    £6m for siem is brilliant business. He is a number 10 but a very capable goal scorer. A real leader which is what Newcastle need and a great worker you could compare him to kuyt. I remember when he destroyed man city in the champions league a couple of seasons ago.

    @AHunterGuardian: Liverpool and Barcelona officials will meet in London tomorrow to open talks on possible Suarez transfer.

    Can't see that happening, the ban and Suarez wanting to go will leave Liverpool with less than cards than they'd like to have in the negotiating game

    40 million plus Sanchez or 55-60 million cash I'm guessing

    70-80 million is madness for a player who is one fùck up away from a probable season ban

    Dunno. Henry and Co are no mugs. Sanchez is valued at 30 so him and 40 about right I guess

    Surely Sanchez isn't going to want to go the other way? Especially without Suarez.

    Strange signing by Newcastle taking into account they had his brother and not sure but did he even score for them

    Champions league football on offer and he'll be well down the packing order at Barca.

    Why exactly?

    Just trying to be controversial.

    He knows rightly Liverpool can offer him full time football, Champions league football and decent wages.

    Not to mention a manager that plays positive football that'll suit his game.

    Saying all that Sanchez might prefer elsewhere

    Because they are a one man team without the one man.

    Not every football player wants to join Liverpool. Sanchez had a pretty good season at Barca and had a solid WC. Nothing controversial about it at all.

    Can see Bayern being in for him considering that Ribery suffered so poorly after his injury and rumours of Shaqiri leaving.

    I'd love him at the gunners. He'd fit in so well.

    People assuming that Liverpool have the same attraction without Suarez are bonkers. Sanchez might join Liverpool to play with Suarez but if you take him out they aren't nearly the same prospect.

    Of course he is on a wind up and of course he may well go elsewhere. Real/Barca is where sanchez would have wanted to play the 2 biggest clubs in the world. This time last year liverpool wouldnt have been an option things have changed over the last 12 months though and all the top 4 and utd will be in the mix if they want him now.

    Very simplistic way of looking at transfers tbh.

    Depends what he wants and what appeals to him and also of course who is in for him.

    the stats would indicate otherwise in the 9 games suarez missed for the ivanovic suspension they got 20 pts.

    I can fully appreciate why Sanchez may want to join Liverpool but it would surprise me if he joined as a part of a Suarez deal.

    If Liverpool were trying to sign him now then I can see the rationale but Liverpool without Suarez aren't the same prospect.

    Hard to call a team one man team when your 2nd striker misses 1/4 of the season and hits over 20 league goals.
