Summer transfer thread

[dicko1969]

Liverpool have agreed a £1.2m loan fee with Cardiff for Harry Wilson after they beat off strong interest from Swansea, as well as interest from Forest, Derby and Norwich.

Thank fuck fsg will be happy, they got 1.2m from the loan!

That's disappointing
Before covid peeps talking about £25m transfer fee.
Grujic £25m too
A lot of people dreaming.

glad to see klopp et al have realised young harvey is a dud. probably won a competition to train with the first team or something!

you either show the talent at this age if you’re hyped up like owen, fowler, gerrard did.

harvey has shown nothing other than side passes.

oh well, another woodburn then.

Haha lol
Luckily you aren't a football manager ...

I think we'd have got somewhere around that for each of them, had COVID not struck.

Yep - Jota would have likely cost over £60m though.

After his performance for Portugal during the week I'd throw an extra £10 million on top of that.

Yeah, could be.

Think we were looking for £20m or so for each, not so much £25m.

When you consider the dross some teams buy at big prices I think both were semi-realistic.

No point selling for less - better (long-term) that clubs know we mean what we say and won't be low-balled.

It's a strategy
Chelsea
Man City

Use

Loaning out 30 players hoping some come could to sell on fir £10m or £30m

Was it Dias from Man City went to real for near £20m

I can't remember exactly but in the last 3 or 4 seasons city made near £70m in selling these young fringe players.

Liverpool
Ward £12m
Solange £19m
Ibe £15m
Stewart £8m
Brad Smith £6m
Brewster £23m
Kent £7m

Etc... off the top of my head the players and fees.
(feel free to adjust and add names)

£80m + in 4 years . Every little helps.

Pity for Wilson and Grujic another £40m

[RedNoodle]

£80m + in 4 years . Every little helps our owners line their pockets that bit more.

Fixed for you.

To reinvest in the team
Which is the case.
No debt
Well managed club
Value of players at £1bn

Ungrateful support ... fixed
