I'd imagine that the moment they did that, the valuation of every other potential Liverpool transfer target would be raised accordingly.
Not only would spending £70million for one player represent a huge proportion of Liverpool's transfer kitty but it could result in missing out on other targets.
Therefore, what Klopp and the board need to do is work out the club's transfer priorities this summer.

That Di Marzio got me all going crazy , but looks like Chelsea may get him within the next couple of days as they "tap up" van dijk , oh well all hope was diminished the moment I remembered Peter Moore is in charge of proceedings, people who believe Klopp is in charge with directing most of the transfers, I really do hope that is true, really hope he's going for VvD NOW!!!!!!
I think I should start a "losing out in VvD grievance club" this is hitting hard Their is a risk involved and he is overpriced , Southampton are creating obstacles for us too, and FSG aren't making it any easier , so it's a tough deal, but despite being overpriced and injured "if" it does work out we are not talking about a player just to solidify a position , but a player who can allow us to push to titles, that crucial step from top4 to challenging , seems worth every penny if that's the case. #FSG Laptop - Investment in success - does not compute But considering the slim chance I'm hoping we get VvD, chances are we won't get him and I'd be gutted, in that instance I'd rather think like you cos as it stands I'd be in a massive depression if we don't get VvD, so ye maybe I gotta start preparing to think of ways that I can feel upbeat without him because as it stands just doom and gloom for me haha!!!. I won't be depressed at all if we don't get him for any fee higher than 50m. I don't think he has proved to be the best defender in the world currently, so why should he be so expensive, Southampton are taking the pi55. The max I can go is 35m and Sakho. He's not, but he is probably the best we can get and defence is a huge priority so I think that is the reason why we are willing to splash so much money. If he is 60m and he fixes our defence for the next 10 years it will be money well spent. In 2002 utd paid 30m for Rio Ferdinand. Look how that worked out. If we had a good defence we would have a real shot at the league in the next few seasons.

United just bought a defender for 30m, can't see us paying twice for somebody who had a good half season and coming back from injury, and rightly so. 50m at the very maximum but I think we should be looking elsewhere

£30million for a guy untested in the Premiership who I'm pretty certain nobody have heard of until January of this year.

I thought Jurgen was a master at finding unknown stars. Isn't that what he did at Dortmund?
Was it a myth or is something strategically different (ka shyte) with LFC's recruitment setup?

There are now 6-7 teams going for top 4. In Germany, you could have then possibly got good cheap players and came 2nd and got CL and built from there. You don't have time in the PL if you mess up a season you are out of CL. Competition is fierce.We can still undercover gems, maybe Grujic, but he and they will most likely not go into the first team for a few years

£30million for a guy untested in the Premiership who I'm pretty certain nobody have heard of until January of this year. so what, we bought a Matip for nothing last season, we bought coutinho for 8.5, utd paid 90 for pogba. It all depends on the situation. Maybe we can't get a Baily for 30m, we've obviously looked elsewhere and he is what we want. Defence is costing us huge points every year. All I know is VvD is a very good player, definite qualities to be a world class defender. If we can get a player in as good a VvD for cheaper buy him, but I don't think we can. If we can't then don't even think about wasting money on an alternative. Get a free transfer until we get someone. As another Lovern is not going to fix our defence. The alternatives I see us linked with don't fill be with confidence

How many years have we been waiting for a CB like VvD and now you want a cheaper version ? How do you think that will work out?
That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.
