23 mill for the City defender, a couple more for Sakho. You pay peanuts you get monkeys. Send Mutch to Leeds or Birmingham (ca. 2 mill) and we should be OK. We have seen first hand Sakho play and how he lifted the whole team and even made Kelly a proper player....please don't leave the window without our talisman.

if we're really pushing ourselves to our financial limit in the window then the additional £2-5m or whatever for Sakho may scupper another deal that we don't know about - maybe for a striker? We must be in the market for players in other positions you'd have thought

Of course they won't. We tried all this with Benteke and it didn't work then and it won't work now. We should have learnt by now that Liverpool won't be chiselled by us. It's a take it or leave it deal and we either pay up or walk away. We're the desperate ones, not them, and no amount of Parish's supposed 'hard ball' is going to make the slightest bit of difference. Parish is not the negotiating genius that some seem to believe; he's a ditherer who's forever trying to save relatively small sums by cutting off his nose to spite his face.

He said he had heard we had made a bid but was trying to get confirmation from the club if it was true. It has now been confirmed that we have made a bid.

Michael Bridge is at Beckehnam so probably knows more than most I would think.
