RumbleFox Posted 24 June 2021 Share Posted 24 June 2021 Still young. Would not be against this at the right price. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolate Teapot Posted 24 June 2021 Share Posted 24 June 2021 It would probably be about 10m or so. Given his potential and that he'd be 4th choice for us I really can't see too many downsides at all. Very quick too and can play. Fits Rodgers profile. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sankey93 Posted 24 June 2021 Share Posted 24 June 2021 For 10m sign him it’s a no brainer imo. Cags gets a mate and he’s very young and still can develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Evans gets injured we don't have an experienced head in the defence. I think we need someone a little older and wiser. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centre back is a bit of a conundrum for us as recruiting here is going to be tough as players will look at us and going over the last 2 seasons, Evans, fofana and soyuncu have been right up there as some of the best defenders in the league. If we could get a left footed big bastard who didn't cost more than 12m ish that would be ideal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urban fox Posted 24 June 2021 Share Posted 24 June 2021 Lot of talk about who would or would not play in a three or four at the back etc. Always maintain that to compete at the very top you need two quality players for every position plus a few utility types who can fill in wherever. top players will understand this and have no problem knowing that they will not be an automatic pick for any given game and with injuries and suspensions through the season all will get plenty of game time. Let’s not forget that Fofana was signed as one for the future but circumstances meant we had to throw him in, like JJ. SAF had the right way of doing it when selecting the team by telling those left out it was because he really needed them fit for the next game etc. As long as it is handled the right way players will be happy to be part of a winning squad even if not playing every week. we won the FA cup, finished top 5 two years on the trot and have a reputation for being a great club, top players will want to come here and back their ability to earn their places rather than be thinking that they will be makeweight behind the current incumbents. if we make a serious bid for Tarks or similar quality CB, they will want to come 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why Cags needs a Turkish mate over here. He's been with us long enough now to have mates here. Is £10m spent on a centre-back that really didn't look good last season in the Premier League money well spent? Is he any better than Amartey? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollyfox Posted 24 June 2021 Share Posted 24 June 2021 Still got a sneaky feeling that Tarks will come. He's given Burnley some excellent service and will probably feel its time for a new challenge and an opportunity to win something and play in Europe.

Yes I agree but it must be nice to have a someone from the same country as you. 10m is pennies these days especially in the premier league. He’s young and he wasn’t that bad. He made a few mistakes but with age he will learn ? Yes anybody is better than amartey he’s absolutely dogshit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80footgiraffe Posted 24 June 2021 Share Posted 24 June 2021 I know he had a couple of bad performances but for a cut price, with his age, even if it doesnt work out it means we have cover and he can develop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFS Posted 24 June 2021 Share Posted 24 June 2021 I’d still like him. If not, Tarkowski would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzzy_Larsson Posted 24 June 2021 Share Posted 24 June 2021 Not enthused about this one at all, was terrible at Liverpool any time I watched him and the fact Schalke were happy to let him go while fighting for survival says a lot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxesWalk Posted 24 June 2021 Share Posted 24 June 2021 I can see this happening along with a one year deal for someone like Gary Cahill as an experienced backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool fans I know rated him, they just don’t need him with Konate added to the mix.

I think that was only down to the fact that they was skint and couldn’t afford to pay his wages tbf. We could do a lot worse than Kabak imo. For 10m which is being reported you can’t grumble with that can ya ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've seen of him I just don't think he's anywhere near good enough so in that sense the price is academic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work with a Liverpool fan and he was surprised they never went for him. Obviously Konate is better but they have paid a bigger fee! He’s not going to start for us straight away and again that price is stupid not to get him. I can’t think of any other CB’s that we can get for 10m all so with what he offers. Look at it like this he’s Morgan replacement and ya never know he might just fit in at our club and he’s not got the massive pressure on his shoulders like he did at Liverpool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Leeds Fox Posted 24 June 2021 Share Posted 24 June 2021 As a rotational player for 10-15m, its a no brainer. He had a couple of mares at Liverpool but he was also impressive in the games once he had settled. One of the leipzeg games he was brilliant and settled quite quickly considering the transition from the way schalke play and how liverpool do.

Can we afford such a high wage for someone who isn’t a regular starter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
