If Klopp wants him then i too would say it doesn't matter how much VvD costs ,he's the manager ffs. But the manager has a budget for sure, he cannot wish to have a player at any price. I am sure he wants to buy more than a couple of players and spending 65-75m on a central defender makes no sense to me. Me either. I'm all for Klopp getting who he wants but we have to be sensible. I still think we'll get him back n the end though.

You're telling me that spending big on a CB that could turn out to be the exact thing we've been missing from this team since big Sami doesn't make sense?
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.

£70m doesn't make sense for me I'm afraid. He's not tested at the top level so I fail to see how it can make sense?
I still think he'll be me up here though but for closer to £5 which is more sensible.

You look at any of the top players and their 'valuation' and of course it makes no fukkin sense ,it's football.. go with the flow Wilki,it's not our money.

Football prices are not going to go any lower to meet the FSG Moneyball scheme.
Unless we simply only sign players out of contract such as Milner and Solanke, then money all is redundant.
When mid team Prems spend 17million on a bang average defender, and 30million on a rookie keeper. That tells you we should be spending minimum 40million on players.
As the best defender in the Prem last season VVD is well worth 70million.
And the stupid thing is, we can afford that, to make a statement we should be 300million this summer.
Will we?
Not under FSG.

Ultimately I don't care if we pay that for him. But it makes no sense if it restricts what we can do elsewhere. We need a LB, CMF, ST to name but a few. We're going to need at least £30m per position for those and I don't think we've got the money. Im not auggeating we go for some prospect but it's just signed a top defender for £30m. Why can't we?

we need to start going for quality over quantity now,throw in a LB and a striker and we might start going somewhere.

Yes better 1 really good player than 5 prospects.
But we do need both numbers and quality now, which should be possible since we've spent close to +/- 0 net since Klopp came in.
FSG should sanction at least £ 200 m this summer!

Quality over quantity , that's final !!!!
If it means we can't buy a LB or CMF or ST then so be it!!
Because if we don't get quality we'll end up going around the same merry-go round where we'd want to sell them a year later , so sorting all the problems in one window is only possible if we get quality in each positions, because of the nature of the transfer market and FSG's stuff up with VvD we may have to miss out on strengthening a position or two to pay Southampton 65-75 million instead of 50million, so be it then, we can get loans until January, like others said, we haven't had positions sorted for 10years!! We've bought LB's ( Moreno, konchensky, ..) Midfielders ( Allen, C.adam , aspas, l.alberto ) strikers ( Benteke, Carroll, balotelli, borini) we've strengthened every season , got players that weren't good enough, quality is essential and has been compromised for too long, about time we show some steel and only buy two-three players but quality ,
Sometimes it makes me wonder how people don't realise the bigger picture for LFC, one player like Suarez can lift the whole team to the brink of a title, QUALITY always supersedes quantity!!!!!!
It is about pushing the train, not jumping on a running train.’ That is what we need here. It’s not allowed to take the history in the backpack

United who are much wealthier than us went for a central defender for 30-40m, VVD is not worth 60-75m, no way.
