If we sell Wilson who is a lot better than Curtis Jones and has more 1st team experience than Jones we are officially mad

Lampard would love to get his hands on Wilson and we will sell him for peanuts madness.


Mark my words Wilson will be a 80million pound player in 3 years time.

Hahahah no he won’t. He’ll be a decent premier league standard player for a mid table club. 80 million!? Hahahaha you need to stop drinking that Welsh coolaid, or whatever they’re putting in the water down in the valleys.

if the Thiago transfer gets delayed to maybe next summer, he'll be 30? not much mileage for the cost involved.

Can't see this happening at all.

Too old and too expensive.

Has to be something left to find deep down in some bargain basement bin. Maybe someone on a free? Joe Cole - is he still alive and kicking?

We should know more next week, nothing will happen until the CL has finished Sunday if Bayern are in the final.

I agree I could not see this happening with the age/cost, but the rumours do seem to be continuing, and Klopp has spoke in the past on how much he likes Thiago, so you never know. If we want him now, we will have to pay, or we wait a year and he is free, which may fit in nicely with Wij also leaving as he is going into the last year of his contract.

Bayern won't just out of the blue change their stance of wanting at least € 30-35 M for him now.

Edwards will try to get it down to at least half of that, but in reality we will probably have to wait at least until the winter window before any price knock downs will voluntarily materialize from Bayern's side.

I think someone else will show up and nick him before we have haggled the price down to suit our purse. Or alternatively: someone else will show up next year and offer more in wages than we are prepared to do.

The problem isn't that we are just cheap skates, but that we seem to make our valuation and stick to it. That is all fine, but a player of this breed will never get that cheap!

I have prepared myself that we wont buy anybody of reference as we wont have the funds because we wont get any help from the owners. On the contrary, we will probably have to pay back the loan. It would be interesting to see how this pans out and might work as the team had a big buffer. Let's be honest, very few expected us to win it based on net spend.

The club's stance is they have no interest but yes, things change, but 20/30 Mill at 29 is not a Klopp signing for me. Mmybe only if Gini moves to Barca.

I agree, but Klopp has proved he will spend the money when required, like with VvD & Alisson, also we have bought players like Klavan/Caulker in the past who are older to do a job.

I suspect we are looking at changing our play abit, as our attack is mainly from the FB position, so have someone like Thiago who is creative in the Centre MF will give us more options, as teams are starting to work on stopping our FB's, we are also losing players like Lallana who could put his foot on the ball and change play, he was one of our most creative MF when he played.

Please can someone please swoop in and buy Thiago before FSG actually have to dip their hands in their pocket and buy him.
