I dont think we are even in for him. The fee is fucking bonkers for that type of player, if Bellingham is genuinely a player we think we can get I dont see us spending that amount on another midfielder. Surely that Brighton lad is the more realistic option.

spot on.  Come on home Adam, we’ve missed you.

Really? Who is the three then?

 

Both of those play the same position.

Those two and Thiago.

Urgh, that story was from yesterday. Seems we‘re signing every player in history, ever.

Yeah I'm sure we'll be spending 230 million on two midfielders this year!

Indeed, what happened to buying half the Southampton team every window. Much cheaper and easier to bully.

Not that I think we will but we've committed almost 200 million to the attack in just over 12 months.

200, is that with all add ons?

[Babb'sBurstNad]

You have to respect Indy, for anyone else the novelty would've worn off when everyone realised he was a wum, but he just carries on.

it's about 143 upfront 190+ including addons.

 

The midfielders will equally have addons included in any fee we pay for them.

He's got T-shirts to hawk

He's generally fairly accurate though isn't he? 

 

I only started following him in the summer, and I know he tweets alot of shite, like claiming he's having lunch with high up officials in arsenal, but his transfer stuff doesn't be too far from the truth.

Probably not £230m but it sounds like the supposed £130m for Bellingham hasn't put us off and I could see us spending upwards of £50m on another this summer if we are going after Thurman or Caciedo.

Could still be close to £200m on two. 

Having already spent £200m this year, one big reason why the club are looking around for investment/sale now.

The most accurate one I have seen is LFC Approved

What's the total fee for Gakpo  being reported as, Sunday night I thought it was about 35-37 mill upfront about 50 mill all in.

 

If it is that then based on our last 3 big signings the sweet spot for upfront fee vs addons seems to be roughly 75%-25%.

 

Carvalho as a 4th signing would be an outlier on 35% but when you add them all up we still come in with a rough 75%-25% split.

He was the only one that called the Gakpo transfer, although he said it would be next summer.

Conflicting reports… 
 

[Elite]

Almost makes you think they all know fuck all.

[HBenn]

Someone on here recommended KopWorld as being really reliable. He rarely posts but has just said we are looking at Kouadio Kone. 

 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Always seemed like, if there was any truth to us going for Fernandez it was either as an alternative to Bellingham, or at a reasonable price.

 

At £100m, it'd be insane.

 

Caicedo - or similar - in Jan and Bellingham in the summer please.

Based on this, I’m fully on board the Kone express.
