KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Reports Juve want Aqua for 5M?

Did we get a fee for the loan?

I'm a big fan of Charlie Adam, but isn't it a bit strange to be going for a player of his ilk when we have a similar player in Aquilani? I'd like to see this lad get the Dalglish treatment and see what we can do with him. I think we could have a real player on our hands when fully fit. He should get his chance just like everyone else under Dalglish.

I think we should get him back here and see what he can do under Kenny, 5 mill is a rip off! at least use him as a squad player if he gets better all well and good if hes just a crock then we will still get 5 mill from someone, surely poulson isnt better than aqua?

i think theres quite a big difference in terms of mentality. adam has the balls. he's a good passer of the ball and great from set plays too but he has all the mental qualities to add to the grit of the side. being club captain he will have a lot to offer and deffo more suited to the prem. a much better all round all action midfielder imo he'd be like a young gary mcallister

seen aquilani go in half hearted too many times. even if he comes back he'll still need to adapt to the pace of the premiership after spending so much time in italy

5m is a pathetic offer. We couldn't even sign charlie adam for that much! Disgraceful, either pay up or bring him back and let him have a go with us again. They certainly have leverage since he stated he is happy and feels at home at juve meaning he wants to stay but again 5m won't buy you chips these days.

Come on chaps, there paper rumours nothing more. If 5 million is what a genuine offer it may just be a starter. The lads worth at least 8 and I agree that if we don't get that he should have to come back.

It is already a different club than the one he left and I'm sure he would be a far better player working with Kenny and Clark and we could sure do with some depth!

Can't believe people are talking about accepting offers of 5 or 8m just because Aquaman is settled there. WTF is the contract for if that's all matters? If he' worth 15m, he's worth that much. And I'm sure there'll be other Italian clubs willing to take him at market rate if he's real quality - as he has shown in the italian league this season.

I'm just thankful that some of the guys here are not negotiating with Juve otherwise we'll be the biggest joke in europe.

It's a matter of principle, not getting rid for the sake of getting rid.

MR,

We are already the biggest joke in Europe when it comes to transfer dealings. The waste over the years has been shocking. But who says he is worth 15-20 million?

We as per usual paid way over to start with on a panic buy and he has had a good season at Juve but a 15-20 million season at 28/29 years old? Don't think so.

8-10 absolute tops. At least it could free up money as part payment on another player Kenny will pick himself?

If he's worth 8-10m tops, I would suggest we get him back and fight for a place in the squad. He's after all an above average footballer who is also an Italian regular in the first 11 on current form.

he is 26 and not 28/29 as many quote. It is just brinkmanship from Juve, we agreed a fee of 17mil and they probably wont pay more than 12mil but really want to spend 9/10mil. I would get on the phone now and request him back if they have no plans to pay the agreed price. We have shelvey out for 3months, Spearing injured again as well. Aquiliani has a good attitude and whilst struggled with the physical side generally you could see he has ability.

Kenny is a smart operator so I trust him. Also we must rember Aquiliani is a key part of the squad purely just from his re-sale value. If we want to spend in the summer accepting 8-1mil less will hurt our transfer budget. The lad is playing well and therefore is holding his value. let them sweat I say. Also why do this now? they want a deal done before others can get involved.
