We've probably got more money and the Italian league is a bit **** but it's a more or less guaranteed league title every year and CL, in addition to requiring less settling in, having already played in Italy.

Also it's in Milan and apparently he's into the sorts of things someone with that haircut would be into.

Juventus is in Turin, not sure but I dont think he'll struggle financially there.

He'd joining a serious squad with Pogba, Tevez, Pirlo , his countryman Vidal, Marchisio and Buffon.

Chuck Sanchez into that mix and they have a good shout at progressing well in the champions league.

That is a huge gap, I'm guessing that there is a figure of £80mil as the buyout, so we dont ain't not got to do nothing until that amount is met.

At this stage I've accepted that he is leaving us. I don't like it, but there is nothing we can do short of getting an Arsenal style petition together to try keep him at the club.

We want 80, they open with 60.

70 it is.

I'd be shocked if we got near 80 for him

Juventus don't have the money to buy Sanchez. Very unlikely he goes there.

Maybe an extra £1 would sweeten a potential deal

Depends, if Pogba isnt going to sign a new contract he has one yr left, that makes him a potential source of income.

Dont be at yourself · 03-07-2014 05:49PM

On Walcott: I was absolutely in favour of bringing him in when were were linked with him a while back (same window as Sturridge came in, I believe). I think his pace and directness would fit right in, and Sterling-Sturridge-Walcott would be frightening. One big caveat though, is that he's just returning from a serious knee injury, so there's definitely a risk there. Still -- if Arsenal nab Walcott, this one could work for all parties involved...

Walcott is decent but you'd need another attacker in as well as him

Arsenal wouldn't sell him to us anyway

I agree on both counts. I do think he showed his best form when played up the middle, after signing his new deal last season, so it's not impossible to imagine him playing as a pseudo striker either side of Sturridge, with Sterling on the other, with none a true winger and all capable of both getting into the box, or of beating a FB...

Ask Ray and Ronnie to say nice stuff about them and we'll have a deal.

I doubt Liverpool would have valued him at £80 million last summer and that Suarez would have signed the deal knowing he intended to move at some stage

I'm guessing there is no release clause

Barca should be told "buy out clause of GTFO".

If we sell Suarez for anything under £80m we really are Saps of the highest order.

Him signing a new contract would make little sense then, seeing as he definitely wanted out last summer.

Derp. Dunno what happened to my brain there. "The Old Lady of Milan"?:o

On the Vidal point, I'd be surprised if he stays at Juventus forever, or even for more than a year.

Did he not sign the new contract after Liverpool made it clear they weren't selling him? A bump in wages for the season he was hardly going to turn down but if there was a clause in it that said a team must pay 80 million before you can leave I'm sure he would have objected

I think the media are hung on the Sanchez thing as it seems that Barca are letting him go.

However, Liverpool have been linked with Tello and Pedro before so wouldn't be surprised it either of them come in the mix.

Barca have a few players that seem to be available - Xavi, Song, Deulofeu and Montoya also.

I think that an outright deal will be agreed soon though and then any other transfers to Liverpool may likely soon follow and they can then net the payments.

Reports this afternoon that lfc have had a £20 million pound rejected for lovren by the saints

I am pie · 03-07-2014 05:59PM

Christ, 20m !! ....for Lovren!!!

Try and leave a few quid in the coffers.

Turtyturd · 03-07-2014 06:00PM

How much would it have cost to buy the club?

He signed a contract in December, a good few months after the Arsenal fiasco.

Nobody knows if there's a clause or not, all speculation.

I'm just saying it doesn't make sense if there is one, because if there was it would most probably be in the 50-65 range but Barca would have triggered that already if their reported offers are true.

I think there isn't and both clubs will probably settle around 70-75 million

Very similar approach to how we signed Carroll.

It does make sense alright that there's no release clause if there's offers as reported.

Yeah I reckon it'll be around the same sort of price range too tbh

According to Newcastle it went like this:

LFC: We open for £30m
Newcastle to themselves: errrr, we weren't expecting that much.... what do we do..... er ask for £35m?
LFC: ok.

Whats the collective feeling here if suarez does leave for pastures afresh?

I think I speak for everyone when I say: if he goes, he'll never walk alone, but if he comes near our new no nonsense defence with nutmegs on his mind, he may never walk again.
