£75m

As long as he is the player that Jurgen wants, and he fairly obviously is, then I couldn't care less if the fee is £100 or £100mil, to be honest.

 

It's not my money.

Just hoping that there is not a Phil Coutinho sized sting in the tail to follow.

[Chewie]

Ooh...too soon too soon... We need a pic doing the medical before we can be calling this!

[RP]

F'ck it, we've waited long enough for this one. Let's at least get our hopes up and enjoy it for a few days ... and if it doesn't happen, then we can all return to living under that dark cloud

[Ombudsam]

I’ve been trying to get everyone on this board to calm down about FSG for a while. They know what they’re doing.

I’d feel the same if we had a endless pot of money like City but we don’t. It’s great that FSG are backing Klopp but I think Coutinho will move in the summer to pay for VVD. I think it will either be Rodgers thinking Lovren was the answer so paid Southampton a crazy amount at the time or VVD will go on to sort out our defence and we will go onto win things under Klopp.

 

I hope it’s the latter

Christ this will be exciting. 

 

Couldn't care less about the fee. Hope it goes to £100m.

 

I think he's ace. 

[Smith]

It's not my money.

 

 

In a way, it is.

 

Bit steep imo. I’d rather Oblak.

[rednotdead]

Our old friends from the summer at the Saints forum are in their element:

 

 

 

Well if they are prepared to fork out £75 million then I’m happy to drop my “anyone but Liverpool” stance.

I'm beyond caring that we are selling him to Liverpool. Use the money saints please to get us out of this mess and also get a decent manager in.

We may as well just boo their entire team when they next come to SMS

I’m personally hoping for a Lovren style decline. That would be hilarious to watch. Sadly I think he’ll do well there.

Fair enough...celebrate good times come on!

Molby's going to punch you in the c**k

It's a great deal for everyone if it happens. They're getting £75m for a player that doesn't want to be there. They're getting at least as much for him now as they would have in the summer despite him barely playing and still not being fit. 

 

They need to stop with this idea there's a rivalry just cos we've liked a few of their players. If they replace him with someone great he'll get picked off by a big boy too in due course.

[RP]

In a way, it is.

I used to think like that.

 

But it really isn’t.

[Red Yoda]

Everything crossed twice that it gets done now. He's an awesome CB. Great improvement

[Dan]

As long as his dip in form this year is down to him having a t** on and not his ankle then it’s all good. Beast of a player and everyone knows it despite the inevitable outcry at the fee from opposing fans.

Better in the air than me, quicker than me, more composed & doesn’t score own goals!

That all sounds positive then.

[rednotdead]

If this is really done, then he just need Naby in, ideally another midfielder and certainly a keeper and we'll win 36 out of 38 next season and pip City on goal difference.

He was the best in the league before he got injured. You'd think we know all about his fitness before signing him. We'd deserve everything we get if we pay that and his ankle is still an issue.

[Conrad]

Here’s hoping he’s very very good

 

And we are not spending the coutinho money

Agree. Tremendous player about to enter his prime years. Presume he’ll get the armband as well soon enough.

Yep, i think he'll be captain by the end of the season if he comes.

 

Another touch of polish on Klopp's halo if this comes off. The lad is coming for him, no doubt whatsoever. 

[RP]

Medical done, should all be signed and sealed on/by 1st Jan

[uppsala]

YEEEERRRRSSS

 

He'll have Saturday off no doubt to come watch the reds.
