exactly. NOt one team have bid 30 m since they set their stall out.

Cant blame them for trying but theyre known for being extra penny pinching apparently. I can only hope if the day ever comes when they circle one of our players, Parish plays the biggest hard ball game of his life with them.

He certainly did when we got rid of our tricky winger with no end product- well according to HOL anyway

Neymar's price started and ended at £197 million, because that was what was in his release clause.

Liverpool will be forced to drop the price if they don't get any offers towards the end of the window, although they might loan him out again in the hope of getting £30m next year.

Thanks for the injury link,doesn't make good reading,£30 Million looking at those kind of injuries seems a big risk.

Trouble is Klopp has his heart set on Van Dijk. It's not so much he wants to use Sakho but he doesn't want to bring in any other defender.

Van Dijk looks nailed on to join Chelsea now, as a way of appeasing Antonio Conte and healing the rift between him and the board.

I think we'll see an average defender leave Southampton to join Chelsea for an obscene amount like £60 mill just as a peace offering gesture.

That will completely screw us getting Sakho. :-(

Well, I don't now see anything happening with Sakho now..today they announce (BBC) that we have a Man U loan, and he is Dutch, and a defender...say no more..
