But its the steady rise year in year out that we now see that is staggering and quite rightly making joe public question it..Can prices continue to rise? There is seemingly only so much that the tv companys can pump into the game before even that money cannot cover these types of transfers.. There is talk of the likes of Amazon and Facebook joining the market and the next deal being even bigger. On the other hand the Chinese government has placed restrictions on the buying of clubs so yes, there must be a saturation point some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 How much would it cost to buy Southampton? Surely Liverpool have paid more than that in transfer fees over the last five years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two clubs wanted him and we now live in a world where players go for these sums quite often. Mustafi went to Arsenal for £35m and is awful. Kyle Walker went for £55m. Van Dijk is a world class centre back. World class? How can you say that until he has played on a world class stage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanalla, loveren, clyne them alone nearly £100m and now £75 million for Virgil van dirk!! must be a big sell on to Celtic . Celtic sold him for £10-13 million, with a 10% sell on clause.

JoeAman08 Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 I’d give them 80m and Lovren if I was Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 So if experience tells us anything Saints will buy a replacement for about £25m. The club they buy from will pick up a replacement for £15m and the club they buy from will buy someone for £8m. Let`s hope whoever that club is don`t come looking in Bristol.

Port Said Red Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 I think there is a bit of ballast in this deal as a recognition for Southampton not pressing for greater punishment over the illegal approach.

willem ii Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Guess where Virgil played in hus youth? Yes, Willem II.... This gives us a couple of hundred thousands pounds.... so we are happy with it. Unfortunately not a move to a club outside the UK. In that situation we would have got far more!

Are you trying to misrepresent what I was saying or have you misunderstood? If Van Dijk or anyone else is competing against the like start of Aguero, Hazard, Kane, Ibra etc who are world class players several times a season - you are able to assess whether or not Van Dijk is in that same bracket.

If Van Dijk or anyone else is competing against the like start of Aguero, Hazard, Kane, Ibra etc who are world class players several times a season - you are able to assess whether or not Van Dijk is in that same bracket. But again, my point still stands. So a defender from say Burnley or Bournemouth can also be called world class because they play against these same players? Our defence must not be far off world class after shutting out Ibra, Martial, Rashford and Lukaku if we are using this logic. Sorry but world class for me is constantly putting in world class performances for a world class club against world class players such as the ones you mentioned but also the super world class players like Messi, Ronaldo etc. Rio Ferdinand wasn't world class before he joined United was he? Just like with VD he had the potential to be and that's all Liverpool are buying here, potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
