$37m? A lot of international papers convert to USD, so maybe this was converted to USD first.

Impossible. The Zambian Article speaks about 936 million kwacha.

I was suggesting that someone had converted from £ to $ then someone else had converted this figure to kwacha believing it was £. $37m is ~£27m, which is in the ball park of what has been discussed elsewhere. They may all just be made up figures though.

To all those who think we are getting this guy cheap , forget it. If it happens it is going to be north of 30 million , pounds that is.

I don’t know a lot about Daka but the way we are talking about him and how good he is that he won’t be warming our bench? So who’s missing out because if he is similar Vardy then they won’t be paired together surely.

Rodgers will change strikers at 60 mins. if they are not firing. He will have Vardy, Barnes, Iheanacho and the new guy to give him options.

We're playing in 4 competitions. Minus Kasper, players aren't starting every single game.

They won’t this year. We’ve seen the effect it has on bodies.

No offence Kingsley but you seem to be quite caught up on the fee, as if it's a source of pride.

 

In the highly likely event that we've paid less than 37, it's not an insult to Daka. It's just Salzburg don't really have the bargaining power of bigger clubs and not do they have a history of extorting teams that want to buy their players. 

 

The whole Red Bull business model depends on being easy to trade with and not holding back players that want to leave or jeopardising their careers by being overly tough negotiators. 

 

Erling Haaland left for about 20.

 

They rely on their reputation of being amiable because they want to constantly be recruiting young players from all over the world, selling them upwards and then repeating infinitely.

With add ons may be?  For sure the sell on clause will be around 25%+.

Rodgers himself has spoken of our max buying power being £30m per player. It’d have to be a large proportion being addons since this is around 20% above that.

 

Rob Tanner has said a fee of around £23m has been agreed, so if we read between the lines, that would be £14m in addons. Seems excessive. I feel this could be similar to to Youri, where much of the media stated his price was £40m, it then turned out to be £32m.

[KFS]

Can we alert the Zambians coming to our social media pages etc that our coach has a history of bedding players in and not starting them immediately? Before we see thousands of calls for blood when he’s only getting cup game minutes

K936M converts to £30M. Sounds about right.

[An Sionnach]

The days when we could get quality players cheap are over , the Fofana negotiations proved that. We will pay the full price I'm sure. He is probably correctly valued at 30-35 million , we paid 25 million for Iheanacho.

We are fishing in different pools.

£23m + add-ons taking it to 30 is my guess.
