We are being heavily linked with a £25 million bid for Theo Walcott: http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football...s-a3270446.htmlI can't see it as he will want to play upfront (or he will sulk like at Arsenal), where as I can see Klopp wanting him out wide offering width and pace. Could be interesting playing behind a 3 of Sturridge, Firminho, Origi/Ings. I think he would make the move as he has gone abit stale at Arsenal and is down the pecking order, so he needs a move, £25 million is too much for a non-first teamer at Arsenal, he's had a few injuries in the last few years as well. We shouldn't pay more than 15m if ever we consider

Hes missed half of the games he's been available for
He hasn't progressed since he was 17. He's still just a decent player. He needs a move away but not to us. He can't cross or pass. So isn't a winger and he can't finish so he isn't a striker

I often think there needs to be an investigation into football transfer dealings, something stinks at the heart of it all. The price's we paid for Carroll, Benteke, Lallana, Markovich, Firmino, all way over the top considering their actual quality level, makes no sense unless someone is creaming it somewhere, we just can't be that stupid, there has to be an angle somewhere? If all or any of these players were at a quality level to justify the fees we paid I'd be all in favour of paying the going rate for them but they weren't then and they're not now, so wtf is going on here?

We vastly overpaid for Carroll, Benteke and Lallana because the selling clubs knew we had the money. Just like Chelsea overpaid for Torres and City overpaid for Sterling...no different at all.
Firmino cost something like 23m rising to 30m depending on performances etc which is absolutely fine imo. If his fee rises to 30m or whatever then he's obviously performed to the level set by that clause and we've got a 30m rated midfielder, I'm happy with that.
Markovic I agree it looks like we overpaid but at the same time we played him a a wing back for half a season then shipped him out to Turkey where he's been injured on and off for most of the season. Slightly unfair to judge his ability yet, but the fact remain we paid 20m for someone who hasn't done much for us yet.

The article uses the word 'reportedly' but doesn't say where the report is from definitely just paper talk.

i see we are being linked with a move for Arnautovic from Stoke.i'd read before that he had a low buy out clause.anything less than £15m for him is a no brainer.

All the players we are linked with are average, at best. We have better at the club already.
We're not going to compete by buying Arnautovic. I'd sooner join the chase for Vardy.
