75 million for VVD? He may be a world class defender, but no way near that. I thought 60 was too much for him. Saints some real tits for trying to keep face with their fans rather than accept a huge bid for their top player imo.

The club will act sensibly and wouldn't pay a penny above what they think he is worth. Saints could do what they want now that te player has rejected both City and Chelsea!

if that's really what they're asking for - ever thought that's just their way of saying "f' off, he's not for sale"?

it doesn't have to be a saving face exercise, more one of, we're not interested in selling him unless someone is ridiculous enough to pay 75mil.

But then just say not for sale. If you quote a price then you can't argue and get precious when people want to sign the player. Clubs will be after him anyway but not for sale is a lot clearer than a price.

But near on everyone has a price.

They don't want to lose him so quote a price that you wouldn't turn down. It's then the buying clubs prerogative to pay up or move on.

With the tv money involved, clubs no longer need to sell.

Bottom line is that VVD's agent came to us and dangled his client in front of us cos his client wants to come to LFC initially. We did not go looking for him so if they want 75m, it is not our problem and the ball is now in VVD's court to make the deal happen as every man and his dog knows we nor City who VVD himself rejected, will pay that money. We are in a good position based on this info so people should just just sit back and watch what happens. Besides, we have other areas like both FB positions and wide forward positions to address.

Fact is that the players have the control, as we saw with Saurez and Sterling, so the minute we make an offer and he then asks to leave ot will happen, just a matter of when rather than if.
