I'd still love us to go after him.

I wonder if you could tempt him with an unusual contract offer.

Say, a contract with a 'relatively' low clause. Say £30m (nothing nowadays for a Liverpool player).

At Liverpool he will be bit part at absolute best. With us he has the chance to play regular game time in the Prem.

If he has a blinder of a season, he'll be worth 30m or more, will get a move and we'll make decent profit.

Playing devils advocate, Fulham are likely to go back down, and he might want a more solid base.

If he thinks he is going to get into the Liverpool team, well he isn't. At best he'll play the odd domestic cup game, maybe a European group game when they are through.

Whilst unlikely, I don't think its out of the realms of possibility. We are a club on the up, and doing a good job at demonstrating that we are a great place for young talent to prosper.
