nwl fox Posted 19 July 2018 Posted 19 July 2018 Would have thought this is more likely a replacement for Jakupovic, no?

Especially when you consider the whole Drinkwater/Silva fiasco.... Hence why I think Kasper might be off to Roma 1
Ashley Posted 19 July 2018 Posted 19 July 2018 He looked good at Aberdeen but thats not that difficult in the Scottish leagues. Did okay at Huddersfield too
Babylon Posted 19 July 2018 Posted 19 July 2018 If Roma are getting £67m for their keeper, and we're paying £12m for some bit part keeper who can't get in ahead of two dog turd keepers. Then Kasper, if sold... should be £30m+ without any question whatsoever. 1
Babylon Posted 19 July 2018 Posted 19 July 2018 2 minutes ago, Gerard said: Well we aren't paying £12m for a No2. I don't believe this story, Ward will be 4th choice behind Allison, Karius and Mingolet. Liverpool would snap your arm off for £12m to sell a player who won't get a minute of first team action for the next few foreseeable seasons. Why would we spend £12m on him when we could get Butland for another £10m? We paid £80m for strikers who stood no chance of playing, so don't be so sure.
FrankieADZ Posted 19 July 2018 Posted 19 July 2018 maybe hes a long term replacement for Kasper as stated already, dont get me wrong £12 mil is alot but Southampton spent that on Angus Gunn, and hes going to be 2nd choice there 3

Why would we spend £12m on him when we could get Butland for another £10m? If we can sell Jakupovic for 5-7 million then its just a 5 million investment in the future, seems sensible to me. But if its as you say a direct replacement for kasper we should be going after Butland, no doubt.
AjcW Posted 19 July 2018 Posted 19 July 2018 Liverpool journo saying he's pulled out of tonights game against Blackburn where he was due to start so quite clear something is happening, whether it's us or not.

My fear is that there is something int he contract we don't know about, as I think it was signed around the time Rudkin was handing out buy out clauses like he was playing football manager.
brucey Posted 19 July 2018 Posted 19 July 2018 We've tried buying cheap keepers before for competition for Kasper.. Zieler (free) and Jak (2m) neither of whom came close. Maybe they've decided spending more for better quality is the way to go.
Finnegan Posted 19 July 2018 Posted 19 July 2018 12m for a 400k reserve keeper. Football is ****ed. 1
dbtcity Posted 19 July 2018 Posted 19 July 2018 he looks like a decent keeper but I can’t see him coming here as anything other than a number 2 to begin with

Kasper's current contract was signed post title win. The buy out clauses stopped when Kante left, which was before then.

AjcW Posted 19 July 2018 Posted 19 July 2018 Just to add a bit of context to his talent. Klopp was quoted 3 days again saying he was Liverpools Number 1 this season. The only thing that has changed that is the fact they revived the Alisson deal. He's probably decided enough is enough and asked to leave. 1

Gerard Posted 19 July 2018 Posted 19 July 2018 £12m is just excessive. Liverpool will have four decent GK's on their books so they would think it was Christmas if someone offered them £12m for their 4th choice. If he's coming here as a No2 then that's horrific business comparing it to Real Madrid who signed the 19 year old Ukrainian international Lunin for £7.65m this summer. If he's coming here as No1 then Butland is available for £10m more and one of Pope/Heaton from Burnley would also be obtainable for a decent price as Burnley can't keep both happy for long. Whatever way you look at it we're being mugs again if this £12m bid is true, no wonder Liverpool accepted our first bid and never tried to haggle as this story came out of nowhere. 1
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 19 July 2018 Posted 19 July 2018 I'd take him, definitely. Kasper will want out if Chelsea's interest is real. 1
