urban fox Posted 9 June 2020 Posted 9 June 2020 I think he will come. The lure of what we have to offer, CL and the whole set up here including a manager who he knows well, must be tempting. I also think that Rudkin will not rock the boat and break the wage structure either. Lallana seems to have his head screwed on too and knows that by taking him it will be a gamble on both sides so will be amenable to a realistic deal if he wants to come here. A highly performance weighted package, perhaps including sponsorship for his coaching badges, would reduce the risk for the club, and if he has the confidence in his ability gives him the chance to earn a good pay packet and potentially a coaching role. Done right this could work for everyone.

This is top level football, you don’t tend to get players cheap. Especially in England. Let’s say he signs on 90k a week. Will likely be less as that’s what he’s roughly earning at Liverpool now. That’s under 5million for the year. £0 transfer fee. For us to sign a foreign player of similar experience/quality you’re looking at £15m then wages on top. From the championship, probably 25m, then wages on top. Financially this really isn’t much of a gamble. Edited 9 June 2020 by TJB-fox 8

He’s a good player, was very good in his prime, possibly past it a bit now but we need depth for next season, ones who know the Premier League and European football. We’ve got a very good team but we haven’t got lots of experience of playing every 3 days at elite level. I can’t see how he’s anything but a positive addition tbh, reward seems to outweigh risk on this one. Well said. I'm worried about having enough depth for the next 6 weeks with a midweek game most weeks. We need decent bodies next season with 3 cup competitions. He would be a good addition.

Well if it looks like we’re offloading Adrien Silva, which it looks like according to Twitter Rumours on the other thread, he’ll be a viable replacement

Leicester_Loyal Posted 10 June 2020 Posted 10 June 2020 Outside our first 11, there's not much quality there at all. We need 3 or 4 new bodies purely to cope with the extra games we'll have next season. This will end up being a good signing, much like Dean Hammond, Kevil Phillips and Was all were. 1
RumbleFox Posted 14 June 2020 Posted 14 June 2020 Watching the Euro 2016 replay on BBC. He’s probably the best player on the pitch. If he can stay fit would be a great signing on a free. Big if I know but he’s technically a very good footballer and runs into the ground. 2

He'd instantly become integrated into the leadership group. 2

daddylonglegs Posted 8 July 2020 Posted 8 July 2020 I don't know a single Liverpool fan that likes him, but their standards are considerably higher than ours... He'd be a good squad player. It's a free transfer so don't really have an issue with it

That's a nice way of saying "He's shite and we want to get the record points tally".
