Any truth in Alderweireld rumours, he has a £24 million buy out clause and wants £150,000 per week?

Bargain 👍.

If there’s any truth in it then it would be a great signing.

If there's any truth to it, I think it's almost certain another team will beat us to his signature. Plus from what I've read on here we have hsown no interest anyway which kind of shocks me. Having said all of this, there's still plenty time for him to sign another contract at Spurs, I think it's too early to say about him leaving Spurs right now.

There is no buyout clause in England. He won’t be sold for anything less than £50 mill and that is still a steal!

Real Madrid and Manchester United are the front runners.

BD- he’s 29 next week and very injury prone, no way would 50m be a steal. I really rate him but can’t see many queuing up to sign him for 50m.

Alderweireld could easily fetch 50 million £ and more, look at Bonucci who is 2 years older. Defenders could play for the same level much longer than a midfielder or a forward, CB's in general playing for top teams run around the least and cover the least distance.

He could give his next team 5 seasons of top performances and would be considered a bargain in the long run considering what defenders are starting to cost nowadays, 79 million € for van Dijk, 65 million € for Laporte. 45 million € for Bonucci and that was before the Neymar deal which made the market 30-40% more expensive!

And look at how that Bonucci transfer has worked out.

Maybe I'm wrong but hasn't he had some choice words to say about Liverpool before.

In out In out shake it all about
Alisson rumours again now from Brazil claiming he is interested in a move to us after the World Cup. Now I know how the media works and expect this story to go back and fourth all summer. But my question to the eds is do you think there's any truth to this? (Alisson wanting to join us) For too long we have been linked with topplayers who would improve us only to find out we had no chance. I hope this isn't one of those cases!

You mean like Mo Salah, Van Dijk and Naby Keita who all had numerous other options with better wages etc. than us? :S.

Agree14 Disagree4

23 Feb 2018 16:51:33
You're missing my point. It is true that in the past few windows we have started to attract more quality players, which is fantastic. But Salah wasn't being sought after by the top clubs, heck he wasn't even one of our top choices.
I'm simply trying to find out if what has been said is true so I know whether to take it seriously.

Agree10 Disagree11

23 Feb 2018 17:09:03
He could have joined Juve, Atletico, Spurs, we were the ones that pushed for him, and signed him up very early, as for not being our top choice that is a blessing rather than a negative, can't see Julian Brandt or Thomas Lemar having half the impact he had!

Agree10 Disagree2

23 Feb 2018 17:10:14
And ed002 said forget about Alisson, i would take his word for it because he knows, he's not guessing like the rags or media with their ''sources'' looking for clicks.

Agree10 Disagree1

23 Feb 2018 17:56:31
So you originally replied to my post just to point out that we have signed top players recently, thus making my statement about getting my hopes up for alisson, only for you to go on and say ed002 said we have no chance. Priceless.

Agree4 Disagree6

23 Feb 2018 19:33:01
your original post said top players and no chance and you clearly didn't mean alisson by that remark, you're the pricless one cupcake :)

Agree7 Disagree2

23 Feb 2018 22:17:15
I urge you to re read, I literally meant Alisson, my whole post was regarding Alisson, it was the entire point of the post. To be honest the moment you mentioned Salah I realised you had no idea what my point was as he doesn't come under that bracket of player I was referring to, but I entertained it anyway just incase your point eventually made sense, but then you contradicted yourself quite brilliantly. Couldn't make it up 😂.

I love how people try and patronise when they realise they've contradicted themselves.

23 Feb 2018 23:28:30
Nobody knows, people have an opinion. or some inside info. the only people that know are within the club.

For too long we have been linked with topplayers who would improve us only to find out we had no chance. I hope this isn't one of those cases!

This is what you wrote, who is contradicting themselves? You obviously can't even read your own ramblings! For me Salah was a top class player before we signed him and had the same numbers as Dybala in serie A over 2 seasons, so honestly couldn't care less what people class a top player anymore. Its all a bunch of nonsense. Your post was to ask about Alisson and then have a dig at the club saying we '' never have no chance of signing top players who would improve us'' seriously embarrassing.

TIA how about you use the search function first. You wouldn't have even needed to ask your question.

Question for the eds. Do you see us trying to complete any business before the WC kicks off. Seeing as our transfer window closes 2 weeks before everyone else? Or do you see the summer window being even more frantic towards the deadline?

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - I expect Premier League clubs to look to do business early, though it will no doubt be a frantic rush after the WC as well.}

23 Feb 2018 09:33:58
Morning Ed, I have been reading some of the midfield suggestions you have made and the type of players we might target. I understand the urgent need to liven up the midfield and bring the much needed energy. My worry is agains't teams like Spurs, and City they will pin us back at the end of games when we drop off and we still won't be able to control games.

I don't know as well how those type of players will help with the breaking down of the so called park the bus teams, Man U etc. In an ideal world you want the player to have great energy, awareness
and ability on the ball but that probably isn't possible. I think I slightly favour the more technically gifted player, we really need someone to to be able to control a game.

Maybe we could target both types of player for the midfield? But as we also need goals and assists from the midfield and the ability to cover the front 3 it is going to take some real quality recruitment (and plenty dosh) .

Agree1 Disagree1

{Ed001's Note - Ndidi is very good on the ball and still young enough to improve.}

23 Feb 2018 10:25:34
ok thanks for the reply.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - very welcome mate.}

23 Feb 2018 11:01:59
Ed am I right in thinking Ndidi is a player you have suggested and would like, and not a player we have shown any interest in yet mate?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - yes you are right. I wish we would go for him, but we have shown no interest.}

23 Feb 2018 12:29:58
Ed1 it's Gary Medel all over again haha.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - very much so.}

23 Feb 2018 12:48:32
Yes Ndidi!

Agree7 Disagree1

23 Feb 2018 13:26:26
Thoughts on Kovacic/ Ceballos Ed1? And out of interest have we shown interest in Kovacic (I know we have Ceballos) . Thanks.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - not in Kovacic, who has not performed well since moving to Madrid. Ceballos we have, I am sceptical on him, never really impressed me as anything special. I have not seen a lot of him though, so I could have just missed what he offers.}

23 Feb 2018 13:43:43
Thanks for the reply Ed1. I would agree with you on Kovacic this season. When I saw some of the games he played in last season I thought he doing alright, just my opinion though and I didn't see every game he played in.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I didn't see him much last season either, even while in Spain as the coverage of Real Madrid is just sickening out there. I am just relaying what I was told as to why our previously held interest has waned, rather than giving my opinion on him. Sorry I should have made that clear, my mistake. I normally try and make it clear when it is not my opinion, apologies.}

23 Feb 2018 13:57:28
No problem Ed1. Realistically it is hard to monitor firsthand every player we could be interested in so I guess we base some of our judgement on sources we trust.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I used to try and make an effort to watch as many as I could, but these days I don't have time with all the research for the articles, as well as writing them.}

23 Feb 2018 13:58:42
If we're taking anyone from Madrid in my opinion it should be Asensio. The kid oozes class every time I watch him.

Keita and Henderson with Asensio in front of them behind our front 3, there would be no need to buy defenders we'd just score 10 a game.

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - Klopp is one of many who would love to add him in the summer.}

23 Feb 2018 15:42:50
I'd take Asensio over Lemar, that kid has potential to win the Balon D'Or one day.
