They have to if his release clause is met. It’s said to be around €100m, and I can’t say he’s not worth it.

Why would he want to sign for Liverpool? I'm sure some bigger teams would be in for him as well.

Prices should not come into so much, we have out own sales to make. 75M for Oblak and 55 for VVD no big deal when we take in more than that in sales.

The thing is all those major teams have great keepers. Is he really going to get into United side, or Chelsea, Or City, Or Madrid, or Barca or Bayern, they have great keepers. His stock would rise at Liverpool.

I don’t know, that wasn’t the question being asked. Money probably if it ever did come to be.

PSG, Arsenal, United (if De Gea goes to Madrid), Bayern (if Neuer doesn't recover to the same level), Juve (Bufffon replacement). I'm sure there would be plenty of other teams in for him as well.

But it's a valid point. No point saying spend tens of millions of pounds on him when the player may have no interest in joining. He would have plenty of offers from top teams all over Europe.

Drop Mig and give Karius or Ward a run until the end of the season and see can either take the position as their own.

Can we stop the Oblak stuff now before ricero uses it to bash FSG when he signs for someone else even though we were never after him.

Didn’t want him anyway.

I thought he was a Lib Dem MP with a penchant for Cheeky Girls.

Yes it is a valid point, but it’s got nothing to do with meeting his release clause. I said that we could get Atletico to sell him if we met the figure, not that he’d want to go. It’s a totally separate conversation.

I too would like to see Ward given a chance, he had a great season with Huddersfield last time out and the difference in standard between PL and Championship isn’t nearly as pronounced in his position so it’s a fair indicator of his quality. Karius could come good too, anyone but Mig really will do at this stage.

That doesn't always matter.

Arsenal thought that as well when it came to Luis and he did want to leave but our owners refused.


I'd love to have a keeper like him but Liverpool FC won't be paying €100m for a keeper.

I’m pretty sure what we did was a breach of the rules though, if he did have a release clause that was met by Arsenal. It’s more transparent in Spanish football, every player must have a release clause and as far as I know they usually aren’t hidden. When a team meets that release clause, then permission to engage with the player has to be given, and then it’s out of the club’s hands. Look at Barca last summer for example, they tried to deny payment from PSG for Neymar and looked for every loophole to block the move but they couldn’t.

This is all irrelevant anyway because 1) we aren’t spending €100m on a keeper and 2) he probably wouldn’t sign for us unless we tore apart our wage structure and gave him the moon and the stars.

Liverpool fan but just wanted to say Merry Christmas. You get a lot of ****e for being a fan of your club. You were a great player for YOUR team, something we'd all have loved to do. Still hope we get VVD obviously

Thanks and you probably will! Happy Christmas ��

I can never understand this,teams pay it no problem for a forward , a top goalkeeper is every bit a match winner as a striker imo

I don't understand it myself.


Buffon's transfer record stood for 16 years.


Mignolet is the 20th most expensive keeper of all time at £9m kind of say a lot really.

Makes no sense. We need a top quality keeper like some clubs need a 20+ goalscorer or a midfield creative force.

martyos121

Just read a random little fact there. Coutinho has had 11 shots in the Champions League this season, every one of them on target and five of them were scored. That’s an incredible improvement for a player who couldn’t hit a cow’s arse with a banjo three years ago.

Playing in the front 3 for a season no doubt brought him on hugely in that dept

He was named in 2015 pfa team of the year as "bad" as he was 3 years ago

Of course they are but forward players are bigger box office and attract crowds, TV and jersey buyers.

Have watched a lot of games this season, haven't seen any player hit a cows ass with a banjo yet.

That's me sold.

Edit - it looks like James Dickenson has been "hacked", he is on a sabbatical finding himself.

That's close enough to 10,000 for a new thread.

And far enough away from 9,999 for Harry to be ok with it...:)
