Hi there, a question for ed001. You mentioned that Goetze's price is "too high for a player with such a short term left on his contract".
My question is not related to Goetze specifically, but Liverpool's transfers generally.
Would the club really take contract lenght into account deciding what they are willing to pay?
I had always assumed that contract length affected what the seller would accept but not the maximum a buyer would pay. Surely bringing a player in has a certain value to your squad, and that's what you would set your maximum price by, rather than what you would expect to pay given the contract length?
Cheers.
{Ed001's Note - that is one of the main deciding factors in the price mate. Always has been. There is a base value for the player, but then that is affected by the contract length. If both sides did not take into consideration then prices would not be affected by it at all.}

What buyer would pay a high fee for a player they could potentially get for no fee ( other than signing on) 6 months Down the track.
