What does "well in excess of 35m" mean? 40, 50, 60? Who knows? Typical clickbait rubbish.

I hope so. If the Dippers think they can get him for a measly £35M, they will be chuckling their heads off while scavenging down the back of their sofa for their loose change.

A fee in the region of £35m was definitely NOT what I had in mind for Doucoure.

At that price it looks like we are happy to sell, which I am hoping we are not.

Can’t see why the club would put any price on a player, unless they were putting him on offer. In this case there is not even any mention of a bid from Liverpool, so this is almost certainly just more speculation as wanting rid of Doucoure for that sort of money doesn’t make any sense for a team trying to get in the top ten. Even if we considered selling , his value to us has to be more than £35mill.

These days most clubs know the price of their targets based on their age, re-sale value and prices of other targets.

With all the stats available the chances of picking up a player on a bargain are greatly diminished. Even if a player is on a free or their contract has only a year left the buying club know what the price is.

Of course both selling and buying clubs try it on but unless one of them is desperate to sell or buy the price almost sets itself.

We don't need to sell and Liverpool know that so if they really want him they will have to pay the going rate.

 


One more point

No hate here as I've always looked for Dazza's updates. But since being on Twitter I've noticed he only pops up when there's new rumours circulating on twitter. Seems pretty obvious when you see the timings. Sorry guys, but i think the Dazza haters are right haha

It seems there's a new model operating.
A player joins a mid to lower Premier League club, has a half decent season and is picked off by a top club.
This has been compounded by the Saudis picking up veteran or near veteran players from the top clubs with eye watering salaries meaning the top clubs are having to cast their net even wider to seek replacements.
The pragmatists amongst you will say it was ever thus, but it really wasn't.
It wasn't uncommon un the past for good players to stay at mid to lower clubs for long periods of their career.
Now top ckubs are hunting merely good as opposed to just great players.

The club hasn’t put any value on the player, some click bait site has, which means nothing. Unless there is a direct quote, just ignore these made up stories.

The crappy little article just says ‘a figure well above £35M’, which could mean anything. They know even less than we do.

That’s the point I was making, without actually calling it click bait.

To quote a Liverpool fan some years back when discussing the possibility of us finishing higher than them in the league, I will "stand on the steps of Liverpool City Hall, lay a todd in my hands and clap frantically" if they buy him for as little as £35m.

You can’t help but look at some of the higher prices mentioned for our players and scratch your head…but then I think to myself, who’s got more market value right now, Guehi or Wesley Fofana (injuries aside). Who’s got more market value out of Guehi and Cucurella?

So, when the top clubs start consistently paying those figures for proven performing prem quality players…it stands to reason why some of the fees seem so high.

Marc Geuhi at 60m looks cheap. Anderson at 50m looks fair. Doucoure at 35m…that’s total BS. But I have to say, he doesn’t look like a Liverpool player to me, not yet anyway.
