January 2020 Transfer Thread

[Harry Squatter]

The only reason I can think that he would get a new deal would be to get a transfer fee for him. But hardly anyone will want to pay a transfer fee for him and if they did it wouldn't be more than £5m. 

 

Him, Lovren, Clyne, Wilson, Shaqiri and the ones we permanently have out on loan will give. Although I think Grujic might come back. 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

There is absolutely no way we should be offering Lallana a new deal, unless it's on a low basic wage and heavily weighted to appearance and performance extras. And I can't see him wanting that.

I don't care how many 15/20 minute cameos he makes to relieve the burden of the regular starters, there will be a time when he is unavailable again for weeks and weeks for a minor knock.

Lallana on form is a good player to watch and he seems a likeable fella, but let him breakdown regularly on West Ham's or Crystal Palace's wage bill for the next 3 years.

[Jairzinho]

I'd rather that Jones kid was our 6th/7th choice midfielder.

[Barrington Womble]

We'll offer him a new deal because it's the cheap thing to do. To replace him will cost millions unless Gruic or Wilson can come back and make up the numbers, but even then it'll cost millions as we could just sell them. 

[Jairzinho]

Was just reading the Mane thread and The Guest's post about Salah and Mane and couldn't remember how many goals Salah has scored so far this season (8 in 15 all comps) and saw our wages in an article from Saturday. I presume they're from last year (as Markovic, for example has since left). Not difficult to see why the malingering cunt was so difficult to flush. There's about 400k p/w there that we'll probably shift next summer and (hopefully) reinvest. Lallana, Clyne Lovren, Karius and possibly Shaqiri.

 

If Lallana really is on 110k a week I don't think offering him a new deal would be the cheapest option @Barry Wom. Especially as he offers so little due to being injured all the time (and not being half the player he was in that brief spell of good form a few years ago).

 

Has Robertson since signed a new deal? If not, you'd imagine he would fairly soon.

I'm sure we could get lallana on a lower deal than his current one. Nobody else will pay him 110k per week. 

[Remmie]

Sadio is on more like £200k per week isn't he?

Assumed he must be now.

Nah, the cheapest thing to do would just to let his go and replace his place in the squad with Grujic or Jones IMO. Lallana could easily get £110k per week in China.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

He will be advertising Tiger Balm before you know it.

Maybe he could get 110k in China, depends if he wants to go there though. As for cheaper replacing him with Gruic, not if we could get 20m for Gruic as the club seemed to think before. 

[TheHowieLama]

Lallana is not quick or strong enough to play as the 6 -- plus he couldn't win a header in a U-11 game. That leaves him playing further forward and both Jones and Elliott are gonna get in before him next season.

isn't it just a standard 1 year extension that we trigger?

Graziano Pelle is on £300k a week there. Of course they’d pay more than Lallana’s current salary.

Yeah, but does he want to go there? I dunno if I would be keen on it if I was already a wealthy man.

An English club would pay close to that if his form for Hertha is anything to go by, it's the going rate these days. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Surely we could rip Bournemouth off again as in regards to Lallana. 

[3 Stacks]

Lallana is too old. Has no sell-on value anymore and probably won't have any takers. The players we've ripped off teams for were all early 20's with "potential" or proven mid 20's like Benteke and Sakho.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Any fee in January would be ripping them off, not that they'd go for it, plus it was obviously a tongue in cheek comment. As your were 'Mr take things too serious, about fucking everything!' 

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

I wouldn’t give Lallana a meal ‘ deal ‘ from Boots.

It would just be nice to get him off the wage bill. If the rumours are true about MLS and Chinese clubs being interested I bet he goes to the States. Great opportunity to advance his acting career when he's out injured. 

[Bjornebye]

That sitter on Saturday is why he shouldn't be getting a deal. If that had cost us the match I'd have carried him to China myself.

Get him off the wage bill, Lovren wants off, Clyne and couple of others. 250k pw.

Closer to 300k a week, but yeah, it would free up wages for 3/4 upgrades.
