Not really sure how that is ethical or legal, but it just means no one besides LFC will pay their price tag, and they are being spiteful.
Not even close.
Liverpool were prepared to make VVD the most expensively transferred CB of all time, offering a more than fair price. Sakho will be sold as soon as someone pays what Liverpool is asking for. Also Sakho has not submitted a transfer request, and Van Dijk hadn't done anything to lose the faith of the manager the previous season.
For what it's worth, there's no clear note that any bid has come in for Sakho this summer.
Liverpool have what they want, but it would probably get the ball rolling if a club at least put in an offer that's somewhat decent.
In this market, if they can't at least submit a 20-22 million bid, with some add ons, what's the point?
This thread is worth at least 300M
Wolfsburg trying to get Malcom, Bordeaux wants 30m. Bordeaux already brought Cafu from Ludogorets as a possible replacement.
Cafu? That guy must be going on 100 yrs old by now.
No way that's the same guy.
Dembele and Mor are at least still in training today lol.
I'm still mad about this.
No way that's the same guy.
Gonna be funny to see Dembele in the team photo.
I can't see him nor Auba.
Auba's head is concealed. Pretty sure that's him in the second row right above the keepers. Grainier photo from a different angle:
Seems quite right. He wasn't leaving anyway. The exclusion of Dembele is interesting though.
It'd be like asking for a top line player for a defenseman playing in AHL in hockey.
Makes zero sense.
Dembele is in the grainier photo I posted as well, but like Auba also obscured in the one you posted. Pretty sure he is in the first row third from the left. The BVB reporter that mentioned that Mor was not in the photo (or the BVB official account which noted his absence)would have presumably also mentioned if Dembele were excluded too.
That happens in every duchene thread.
With that said the Sakho and van Dijk situations are not the same at all and I'm not really sure why they're being compared.
Duchene is playing in the ECHL? News to me.
Because someone said it was unethical to keep a player under contract, while Liverpool's ethics with Sakho are laughable compared to the VD situation.
