Burning Gold 599 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 20 hours ago, Dan said: Can't see where AOC fits at Liverpool. If you spent £35mil on him and didn't put some real investment in that defence then I'd be very annoyed if I was a Liverpool fan. I think we'll primarily use him as a CM in the mould of Lallana and Wijnaldum. Both were fairly average wingers like him but have become two of our most important players in their new position and AOC's shown he can play there in the past. Because of his versatility, though, he'll be able to fill in for any of the front 3 if necessary. It's not a major signing, but depth is a major issue for us, so this should help us bigly.

Chaaay AFC 357 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I think there is a far greater chance of Chamberlain flopping then excelling at Liverpool. Although Arsenal have failed to get the best of a lot of players, at least some have shown a consistent spell of promise unlike Chamberlain. He is one of the biggest confidence players out there and it ain't hard for him to lose confidence quickly. I think if he stays here even with a change of manager, he will be a player will look at in two years and question why we are paying him over 100k p/w because that's what he is going to be after.

Considering that he's probably going to be relegated from the Premier League with Swansea I'd hoped that this would be a cheaper deal than it seems though, the £140,000 a week is standard for players of his quality but £30,000,000?! That part seems excessive. Aye, you could get Sissoko for that I think the transfer fee is fairly reasonable these days but the wages are nonsense. 140k is the standard for players of his quality? We don't pay a single player in our squad that much money, and Gylfi was a back up for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Artful Dodger 1,831 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 You should care though, because it sets a precedent and can lead quickly to unrest among other players. It would be an absolutely farcical amount and does seem made up to me. Spurs should be an example to a club like Everton, they've built themselves into a competitive position through sensible investment and have not broken the bank for anyone, if Everton start off with stupid money like this then I fear for them.

Or has that been breached? No, that's not true, Kane is on about 120-130k a week now, think Lloris is probably over 100k and I'm sure Alli will be in the next year or two, but our wage bill is still 6th by a big distance, so much smaller than Arsenal, Liverpool, City, United and Chelsea. It's remarkable we are where we are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFCMadLad 2,080 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Lukaku is a great goal scorer but he has far too many holes in his overall game to fetch anything near £100m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puts pressure back into Lukaku and Raiola as well. No one is buying him for that price (as stated, that's the point) so sign the contract and accept a lower release clause.

If bids of £60-£70m are being rejected he could start throwing his toys out of the pram, transfer requests being handed in et al Torres style. He could also refuse to sign a new contract which then sees him running into the last year of his current deal and then Everton will lose out big time financially. This is all hindsight of course! He may well just sign another contract and keep his head down but all the noises he's been making implies to me that he's desperate to play CL football?

He's told the club and Koeman himself that he won't sign a new contract because he wants CL football asap. That's why I don't think he'll be willing to 'sit it out' here and wait for the contract to run down even more. His agent will be pushing hard this summer like he always does and I still think they'll get the move he wants this window. £100 million is just for show, statement to say we'll sell on our terms not the players or buyers.

Yeah I can see the stance the club is taking but everyone and his mother knows Lukaku is leaving and for nowhere near £100m so it's a pretty pointless statement.
