At £25m Shef U are welcome, totally insane fee. If there is a buyback too then it’s a glorified loan anyway. Does shit and Shef U are stuck with him, does really well and Liverpool take him back at a ready made fee.
Massive gamble, he could help take them to the next level or he could be the next Solanke.

Is there not some middle ground in that ? There is a world of difference between if Liverpool don't want him back then he must be shit and being good PL striker. Same with Ake, Chelsea had a buy back but let him go to Man City instead.

Eitherway, £25M and/or wages obviously out of our budget

More likely wages

If this is to be believed? It says contrary, it also seems to validate what someone said yesterday in jest.

Sheff United recruitment strategy is just to copy our targets.

How is it in Shef U’s budget? I cannot believe their revenue is greater than ours nor their costs much lower.
I believe we are one of the very few teams in this division cutting our cloth and attempting to stay within FFP. The likes of Villa, Everton and SU are clearly taking the piss.

How much did Sheff Utd spend last year / when they got promoted? They also have a fairly wealth Saudi - although even he says his wealth is fairly 'modest' by Saudi standards.

Like I keep saying I think we simply have wasted too much in previous years and still have too many big wages on our books for players not playing. Coupled with COVID uncertainty, possibility of Tony Bloom taking a big hit through his business interests .. I definitely know a portion of his wealth is in commercial property and you can imagine with businesses going bust, shutting down expensive offices, working from home there has to be some impact

Locadia and AJ are expensive mistakes, I can’t think of any others. Those together are £32m we’ve been in the EPL for 3 years with revenue of over £350m in that time and more this season.
What is just as bad as those total expensive disappointments is IMO spending £20m on Webster when we just did not need to, we had Duffy and we are STILL paying him £25k a week.
Anyway I still think we will strengthen this window but it could be a loan or two.

I think we should go out for him at £20mil-£25mil personally. 4 goals in pre season - great record in champs last season... just my opinion, not one to usually be like this but the way he’s rated by Liverpool fans makes me feel he’s special. And better than Watkins!

Agreed, Id be happy to Drop 20 mill on him.

Although not by the Liverpool management obviously or it would be a loan. I’m not sure how many Liverpool fans can really rate him as when have they had the opportunity to actually see him play for them?
For what it’s worth (nothing) but I could see Locadia scoring goals in the championship and that’s the problem, the championship is the new Scotland.

So would I.

Speculations of this supposed buy back deal metrics look pants. 25 million with guaranteed buy back of 30 million in 2 years.

You take all the risk of him not cutting it, but if he does they get him back after 2 years development for almost same price?
Thats worse than a 2 year loan deal as you have all the risk and none of the reward, at least with a loan you have no risk if he flops or gets badly injured.

Needs to be a bit more meat in the deal, 20 million and circa 30-35 buy back.

Liverpool need the money to fund new signings and don't see him as liverpool first team ready yet........ but they still want their cake and eat it.

32 million and 5 million a season in wages (25 million combined over 5 years)

£25m is a totally fair price IMO. Good resale value, good age.

For comparison we paid £20m for Webster. I’m gutted we’re not getting Brewster. Had a really good feeling about him joining.

it is fine if Liverpool dont have 30 million buy back in 2 years which is almost similar money. 25 is a good enough market price...... standard sell on fee % perhaps, but risking 25 million to lose money if he turns out crap, or get no financial rewards for further development if he's amazing is a shit deal.

It's easy to spend other people's money, isn't it. Nice of you to approve the spending though.

 

[Lenny Rider]

Sorry have I missed something I thought he'd gone to Sheff Utd?

one normally reliable twitter account rumoured fee for permanent agreed, nothing official and def not gone yet

Hey TB can spend his money however he likes. I just don't think 20 mill is over the top for him looking at other prices.

Agree the buy back has to be mutually beneficial otherwise what’s the point!

One club takes all the risk and loses out (cost of a replacement) if he comes good, although that might be the only terms Liverpool have offered and sheff United are happy with the risk (maybe we are not and rightly so)
