I read something similar the other day, with Eden Hazard possibly even going the other way. A Don Balon-style story if ever I saw one but stranger things have happened.

[Dr Nowt]

Don Balon’s English counterpart with a sensational transfer exclusive there.

His agents clearly touting him around so something might happen

I'm not sure it can be said with any certainty this is down to agents talking. After all, his agent has already shown the levels he will go to for a move to happen for his client. This looks more to me like seeing he is not playing in all matches so surely he is surplus to requirements? Ousmane Dembele was all over the papers last season and as far as I can tell is he now a regular player in their team?

He just signed a new contract in the summer.

He will still probably leave.

[Harry Squatter]

Ings 20m

Solanke 19m

Origi £15m

Clyne £15m

Lallana £8m

Mignolet £8m

Lovren/Matip £18m/ £10m

Moreno £0

Sturridge  £0

Markovic £0

Chirivella  £0

Randall £0

Karius loan fee £3m

 

Still not a bad amount and a lot of money off the wage bill.

I think Harry Wilson will go in the summer too. He won't want to come back as a bit part player. I'd be intrigued to see how well he did on loan to a Premier league club?

I think he will come back personally and get some game time. Can't have escaped Klopp that he has great potential.

Do we need to get some English players in for the HG quota if so many of them look like leaving?

Konchesky as back up for the steward in block 206.

Yup, with Sturridge, Clyne, Ings, Lallana and possibly Milner leaving, we will need to fill our HG quota. That's why I feel there's a good chance that Wilson will be here next season. Backup goalie, backup left back, David Brooks, Brewster should help us fill the quota.

Daniel Ball.

[Grinch]

I hate this nonsense quota shite.   Handicapping clubs by using a certain amount of players from a nation that has one player that really stands out above average footballer. 

[aRdja]

Pay as you play deal?

 

 

[Ne Moe Imya]

How much would he be paying us per game, then?

He owes us money for all the games he walked out and didn't play.

Not sure who number 3 is but number 1 is boss. Number 2 could go either way.

[ZonkoVille77]

Neves is too slow for our team. As good as he is, he wouldn't fit in.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Rather palace face city with those players.

You don’t need a pacey holding mid

You really know how to kick a man when he’s down, aRdj.

Think we leave well alone in Jan do nothing. Would want our transfer team to be working on Ryan sessegnon and Timo Werner deals for the summer. We need to hit the ground running next year and to be honest we have lucked out once again (probably bribed every despot in Africa and all the CAF executives as well *source GOT forum) by moving the  AFCON this year to the summer time. Salah and Mane will need time off this summer before season starts. Get these two on 5 year contracts identify a right back as understudy to Trent or move Trent to midfield and buy a proven RB (noone springing to my mind) and that should be us covered nicely. Plan for the future now. 

[Barrington Womble]

I don't get this sessegnon obsession our fans have. I am sure he's a talent, but he will cost 50m+ and he just hasn't done anything in the game to suggest he's at a level where he'd get in our 18. Once any prem player has a bit of a flavour of the month about him, you might as well move on to someone else, because you're priced out of the market. It's like Wan-Bissaka lad at Palace too. They talk about him on motd every week - he'd be another who'd cost you 50m+ already. They might be talents for the future, but part of the idea of getting kids while they're young is before they cost you the price of a top class international.
