"a clause in BR contract at swansea makes it impossible for us to poach any players from there in his first season at a new club. allen, sinclair, dyer...all have to wait one more season before we can even talk to them."
"£10m? Pay it! Pay it, now! From what I saw last season, I think this kid will be an addition to us, and crucial to what BR wants to instill at LFC. In addition, I don't blame Swansea for hiking up the price, we would do the same - it's business."
"rackey1979 - thank you, my friend, someone else gets it. The kid is technically gifted, he loves the ball, he can run at the other team (last player we had was McManaman), and he can run the game for us."
"campionelfc92 - yes, you're right, but Swansea would also be willing to consider a ridiculous offer. If we offered them what they see as a good price, they'd bite our hands off - clause or no clause."
"Omg is he really this good or are my eyes playing tricks on me. This kidis amazing and he is so aggressive when he defends.If we can get him, I guarantee we won't need gaston Ramirez. "
"Sorry but I just don't like managers going back to old clubs to buy players. Especially clubs that are not exactly successful. It smacks of a closed mentality and £10M would be far too steep in any event."
"don,t like your potential signings BR we,re gonna end up with another load of e to try and offload next year. Last season we came 8th swansea came 11th and we,re chasing them. Not lookin forward to this season already rowdy"
"He's better than some of our current midfielders no doubt. Maybe the clause is exempt if they'd listen to offers for the player - may as well give him the choice to go where he wants to."
"Just because swansea finished below us doesnt mean they cant hav players worthy of lfc.
being a welshman myself ive seen thus boy grow as a player. class act.. bit of iniesta about hin"
"Joe Allan, or Joao Moutinho? Come on Brendan... This "only working with players I've previously worked with" mindset isn't really the best one I don't think."
"Allen for £10m would be a great deal! But I'd give up on him had we sell one of our midfielders to raise funds! Let's hope we keep Aqua, Adam, Hendo and Shelvey! YNWA"
"Clause or no clause, every player has a price tag, within reason!. 8-10m for this kid would be a good deal. If a deal of £7-8mil and loaning 1 or 2 of our youth/fringe players as part of the deal, that would be fantastic for both clubs!. Please make this happen......."
"god there are some narrow minded people here.
He looks aggressive on the ball, decent ball retention looking at the clip and likes to move the ball along quickly. Needs to improve shooting but has potential."
"To swansea hes worth 10mil i mean who can they replace him with? truth is though in 12 months rodgers could have suso playing at that level! this is lfc's plan to produce footballers of this quality from our own stable, rodgers just needs a few ready made ones now to get the ball rolling."
"dont know about 10mill but this guy can intercept and change defence to attack at the drop of a hat. also not afraid to take defenders on. im in 2 minds about the lad, just coz of the price tag. YNWA!!!"
"So you lot want shot of Spearing? Who actually had a decent season last year, and could well improve further this season. I hope we dont waste 10 mil on this kid, and save the money for a real decent attacking player instead."
"10 mil? That is far too way expensive... We don't want to repeat same mistakes again, do we? How much did we get for Dirk Kuyt? Much less, so... Seriously."
"looks like the same mould as Jay Spearing except more mobile (which is good) but can Spearing do this? If he can, there's no point in signing Joe Allen."
"looks like the same mould as Jay Spearing except more mobile (which is good) but can Spearing do this? If he can, there's no point in signing Joe Allen."
"Our transfer targets weather true or not, do not fill me with any confidence at all. It seems as if we are now picking players from the same pool as Sunderland, Fulham, Villa and Everton. Looking at spurs who never made CL, they seem to be after players from the high end of the market, players of proven quality. Worrying times!!!"
"please stop this now. clause in BR contract won't allow him to sign this guy. just goes to prove we r being fed stories for the sake of it. lpdcollier i have to agree with you "
"Do we really need a defensive midfielder? Lucas will be back soon and he is so much better!!! 10 million could be spent on a player we need like a winger and striker. Adam Johnson would be a good player to sign."
"When will you these people do there job right....... WE CANT SIGN ANY PLAYERS FROM SWANSEA................... IN ROGERS CONTRACT....................
GET A NEW JOB AND STOP LOOKING FOR EASY STORY'S..............."
"U HAVE MY BLESSING!! £10mills GET HIM NOW.FOR HENDO AND JONJO WE MUST BE PATIENT WITH THEM,REMEMBER LUCAS? SPURS ALSO THEY WANTED TO GET RID OF BALE 'TILL HARRY TURNED HIM TO £50mill PLAYER!!"
"Remember..... Liverpool paid about the same for Kuyt, but this kid has a touch of the Gerrards, he will be the complete midfielder one day,this kid Allen has bags of talent!"
"He is not worth 10mil,maybe 5mil ,but why get him when we have many midfielders in the squad already and there r a few youngsters that could be given a chance the likes of Coady."
"What is wrong with the players we have, if we played so bad why was so many of our so called "bad players" chosen for England's euro team? Granted most didn't play but still they were chosen. And i think it's a bad idea to loan Andy out."
"people may not like this but to me just ship out spearing and adam and replace with better quality. A good striker is needed. BR needs to look at his young ones like sterling to get ready."
"This kid is the same age as Hendo but i have to admit... He's more technically gifted, more tenacious in the challenge, can carrying the ball past players "
"Look, the kid has talent all he needs now is a chance. Everyone starts somewhere and need their break in the big time. With his atude and passion, and with the likes of Carra, Stevie G, Suarez and Lucas as mentors he will develop into someone.
As for contracts - they ALL have a price!!!"
"I really dont get why we ll pay 7m for dempsey when rodallega was on a free? Someone please explain it to me. Not sure about this kid but it s going unbelievably slow at the moment.on monday we r going on the tour..are we getting a player or two before then?"
"I'm sorry but...do we keep looking at players from the lower ranks or possibly try and pick up someone 'real'???
Wanna play with the big boys...then think like the big boys!
I'm a little sick of just being there to help pad the EPL to 20 teams!!!"
"''but the lure of Liverpool would be difficult to resist''. Strange then how every one else seems to choose others over us. Unfortunately we do not have the reputation we once had lets hope the Rodgers revolution is better than previous, as we cant afford to regress any further LFC YNWA
"
"Joe Allen had a good season at swansea just as Adam had a good season at Blackpool but now look most fans on here slate Adams week in week out so why not just see what Suso can achieve as with most of the LFC youth he hasnt had a chance we need proven quality now and bring forward the fringe players. LFC YNWA"
"Reports suggest Liverpool FC are preparing a double swoop for the Queen and Prince Phillip.
Well, for crissakes it's as good as all the other rumours - imagine them as a strike pairing."
"Unless it's on the BBC then take no notice. The Beeb have been the only ones to correctly name both Rodgers and Borini ahead of their signings, with any authority. Anything else is just speculation, IMHO."
"Can't see it happening, we don't really need central midfielders or central attacking midfielders. We need to get rid of at least one. Sorry its Charlie Adam and Jay Spearing that should make way. We need a wide right player and a Lucas deputy and possibly just possibly someone like Clint Dempsey."
"Dempsey has shown a knack for scoring goals while playing as a left forward or a centre forward which is worth the money 7 or 10 mil. Rodellaga - even on a free - is not the versatile type of player we're looking for at them moment. Hence the speculation about Andy Carroll but I would prefer to develop Andy Carrol's approach to the game over a couple of years before loaning or selling him. "
"You lot who are saying we can't sign Swansea players, please resd the article properly before posting your garbage.
"Despite talk of an agreement preventing Rodgers from buying Swansea players, the Welsh club would listen to reasonable offers for the sake of their financial future.""
"10 million??..yes very worth it ..has pace , good with both feet, never pulls out of any tackles, silky skills, and good passing vision ..
much better than Adam, Spearing and certainly LUCAS !!!"
