Can any of the Eds please explain why there are some media reports suggesting that Danny Ings may never kick a ball for Liverpool due to the case having to be considered by a tribunal to set the level of compensation, and Spurs having bid 12 million previously.

Thanks.

{Ed001's Note - because we have to pay up the amount decided or he will not be allowed to register with us.}

Resulting in him having to register with another team? Are there any known precedents you know of where the team chosen by the player has refused to pay the set amount? Seems like a restraint of trade for the individual if he's a free agent and out of contract.

Thanks Ed001

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool are committed to pay the amount decided. Burney want £8M and Liverpool don't want to pay it.}

So the free singing has become a decent amount signing then.

Maybe all those posters about 'Ings on a free is a no brainer' won't be quite so pleased with that business if he costs us 8 mil plus in fees. No disrespect to Ings but he is far from the finished article. He needs games and I don't think he'll get them under the current regime. Let's hope I'm wrong.

{Ed002's Note - It was always going to be the case that Liverpool would be liable to pay Burnley for the player, plus a signing on fee to the player, plus agent fees etc..}

There is no such thing as a a free transfer in the sense that it will cost the club nothing. Its quite simple to understand that. No fans can be as delusional as to believe he would cost nothing. This was made clear on the site many many times.

He would have cost only a signing on fee and other expenses ( which is a part of every transfer ). Now it looks like he would be close to a 10 mill player including all the above.

{Ed002's Note - No, that was never the case.}

Ed02, Ooops I forgot to add up the tribunal compensation, but majority here would have thought a very minimal amount in compensation.

Thanks for clearing up mate.

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool has offered what they see as fair, Burnley have asked what they see as fair. Neither will want a third party to decide.}

Seems a tad extortionate
