Not impossible if they see him as a player for the next 10 years, but suspect they are more likely to spend quite a bit more for already established players - MacAllister heavily rumoured and he's a World Cup Winner ( I know Alex is but that wasn't the big one) Agreed, think they will see at least 3 midfield incomings, could easily see him getting the same treatment as djed spence at spurs.

cidered abroad Posted May 17, 2023 Report Share Posted May 17, 2023 1 hour ago, George Rs said: A lot of talk on Twitter today from various Liverpool accounts saying they are and have been playing close attention to Alex. maybe suggest if he plays well for the u20s they might come in for him? Nothing confirmed but something to think about. Is a rebuilding Liverpool the right fit for our 19 year old maestro? Well they signed a raw Jordan Henderson when he was 21 with about 80 league games for Sunderland and Coventry (on loan). Alex has nearly a hundred first team games so maybe a year or two less will actually be a benefit to Liverpool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This argument only works one way when it comes to "Lansdown needs to go" or "Lansdown is clueless". You need to find a club that has done exceptionally well (one who has done a lot better than us), so someone like Brighton, and then simply claim we should be them because they have done it, but you CANNOT mention Reading, Wigan, Bolton, Derby etc etc. That's the rules on here.... 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool have been mentioned and it got me thinking to the last transfer from us to Liverpool. The only one I can think of is Peter Spiring.

Club's often do daft things in their desperation to stay up and I could see Coventry doing just that and sacking Robins as they fight to avoid relegation. Leaving Steve Lansdown's favourite manager unemployed just as Nige comes to the end of his contract.... Previously they sold Highfield Road to spend money on players to try and survive, they then also sold their stake in the Ricoh to also fund transfers to try and survive. Those daft decisions led to decades of turmoil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Ian M Posted May 18, 2023 Admin Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 I’m torn between wanting Alex to be MotM in every game as England win the WC to take the fee north of £30m and wanting him to just have solid under-the-radar performances (whilst England still win the WC) in the slight hope we get one more year in the Championship.

Win the World Cup , Man of the Tournament & MotM most games and then we get £40M and a loan back I’m more inclined to go with the second under the radar option, we get promoted in 23/24, Alex now signs a new deal with us to continue playing with his best mate Tommy in the PL, gets called up to the Senior side and wins the 26 World Cup forming a midfield 3 with Rice and Bellingham. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 On the fee front. Joao Pedro albeit a striker and with some PL experience to Brighton- a reported £30m. Watford have Parachute Payments which means they can hold out a bit. Gykores if Coventry stay down albeit a striker again- touted for up to £25m. Basically what is Scott worth in the summer 2023 market, there is a potential and a reported actual fee although again both strikers. Collins was £10-12m at Stoke in 2021 and Souttar £15m this January. Whereas Semenyo £10-12m in January was it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
