Could Liverpool actually buy Lanzini?
|
With all the usual media sources pointing to Manu being a replacement for Courtinio, could he do a Payet and leave? Are Liverpool still a big draw for a player or just also-rans as most people outside of Liverpool see them?
The way I see it is that we are FUCKED for creativity if he goes. In fact I'd like to sign a player that compliments him rather than replaces him.
The only thing 'world-class' about the Mickies is in their ability to tap a player up and that's what worries me.
If I've missed a fred which deals with this thorny issue comprehensively please accept my unreserved apologies.

I doubt Liverpool will match our valuation. I also doubt Lanzini is that desperate to leave right now (though I'm sure he wouldn't turn down a bigger club either). He probably feels he's still learning his trade and has freedom and a regular place here. I think he stays at least another season.

Still a bigger club than us and in the CL. With the Spivs at the helm we will never close the gap. If a big offer came in it's almost inevitable that he will Want to leave and G&S would be happy to cash in.

They are in the champions league
They have a better stadium
They have better players
They have a better manager
They will also be winning more games then us
They will have £80-100M in their back pocket and will be able to pay him more money
But yeah im not sure why he'd want to leave....

This would depress me immensely.
Remember when we had Dimitri Jekyll before he turned into Dimitri Hyde, AND we had Lanzini.
To have lost both of them within a year would be a lot to stomach.
I hope the owners realise how much it would fuck us to let him go, so if he is to go, it has to be for asolute ridiculous money, and if so, we should try to make them wait until the end of the season and not with just over two weeks of the transfer window closing.

Yeah they could.
All things being equal and they said he'd be a starter there, why wouldn't he have his head turned?

Even armed with £50M im not sure who id go and get to replace him. Certainly no-one proven in the prem springs to mind
Think that says it all, keep him and build a team around him next couple of seasons

Not sure why Barcelona would want Coutinho he's good but not good enough for Barcelona.
Everybody has their price and I'm sure if L'pool put in a decent bid for lanzini wed have to take it!
it would be pretty grim without his creativity in the side but you can't stand in the way of progress.

I got the impression that Payet was very happy here when he was adored as a big fish...until he felt he could get the same playing with France at the Euros.
So we just need to make sure that Lanzini does not make the Argentine team, especially in a World Cup year.
Simple really.

Yep agreed,. Sad thing is only a couple of years ago with the successful transfer window of 15/16 and the Clubs positive stance on the new stadium they actually had a decent chance to make this Club a quite attractive proposition for very good players to come to and for our best players to stay at. Unfortunately ever since they have made a rights pigs ear of it between them and right now we are nothing more than a mid table side (if lucky) who will struggle to hold onto our better young players if bigger Clubs come in for them.

That's what happens when you put success or failure in the hands of mercenary players each Summer. If we want to be successful we have to build a successful club - you can't buy it with a chequebook.

It would seriously hurt to lose him ...
someone else on who stole my thoughts on Lanzini... with his progress over the last 2 years this year could and should be his breakout season.
would be absolutely heartwrenching if he lest now.

Chim - definitely
Been saying for a while that I can see Neymar/ Couthino/Lanzini and Wilshire and did so after Neymar was apparently staying
Thats all the work of unsubstantiated, non information, merely the product of an over active intuition
But, the key will be the content of his current contract, buy outs/release clauses etc and how great an influence his advisors are, the ones that moved him the obscurity of the Middle East for money, then to us for more and for some reason, have not signed the new contract we have offered
As grim as all that is, it's worse, I do not trust our lot to do anything but under sell and over buy with the proceeds
Apologies for being quite the dismal minded bastard that I am these days

Is that right, mate. Didn't know that, hopefully not a bad omen.

Re: Could Liverpool actually buy Lanzini?

it'll be interesting to see how much the porn dwarves will demand. for me he's better than wijnaldum who went for £25m and Lazini's also two years younger
It's sad that we're even talking about AGAIN losing our best player but it will keep happening the bare minimum, zero ambition cunts
