Just read that wolves have made a 10 million pound bid for Origi.
Any truth to this eds?

03 Aug 2021 21:19:24
Seems legit but the club is reportedly holding out for £20 mill. Let’s hope and pray a compromise could be reached.

03 Aug 2021 21:17:53
I think we will agree on 13m with 2m add ons and 15% sell on clause.

03 Aug 2021 21:36:26
And the contract will be signed in the room with the green carpet using Edwards’s cool blue Mont Blanc pen.

03 Aug 2021 21:46:32
Some Turkisk kid on Twitter started the rumour. Apparently it's not true according to other "ITK's" on the app. So who knows?

03 Aug 2021 22:15:30
I did mention on another users post re divock today that the noise was wolves and napoli interested. Have faith in edwards for the money side he always gets it right.

04 Aug 2021 03:27:07
Straight swap for Adama?

04 Aug 2021 09:04:05
For £20m the teams who would be interested in a striker would expect a decent goal return. Bit of a big risk to expect a bit part player to come in and be the main man and score consistently. At £10m the risk is worth it/ affordable as a sub striker.

04 Aug 2021 10:47:01
@Fuser -

Solanke
Brewster.

04 Aug 2021 11:54:45
Jkh they were both young and HG.

04 Aug 2021 11:59:25
Also Patson Daka was bought for just 20m at 23m. Yet every man and his dog seemed to want him to replace origi. If there’s such a marginal difference then surely keeping origi is the simple solution.

04 Aug 2021 12:34:05
I'm still sulking about Daka going to Leicester. Looks like a real talent. Good luck to him. and a fixed roll for my FF team 😆.

04 Aug 2021 13:19:09
Daka has achieved nothing yet in a top league or top competitions its not comparable until he shows whether he can achieve at this level.

Brewster and Solanke so what if they are HG they barely kicked a ball and we got best part of £40 million for them.

Whilst I agree we overprice some players Divock has PL, CL and International experience given a run of games would score goals and has proven to be able to do so against top sides before today.

I don't get the need to undervalue players just as much as overvaluing them makes no sense either. Name another striker of Divock age and experience that you can buy for 10 million?

04 Aug 2021 15:28:43
Origi scored a couple of clutch goals which is great but his highest scoring season was like 7? Or so. Even when he went on loan and played most of the games at Werder he only scored around that amount.
Clubs like palace who would be looking at him would need more than a 7goal a year striker especially if they’re going to spend £20m on them.
I don’t have an encyclopaedic knowledge of every player in the world. But I’m definitely certain you can buy a better striker for the 20m you seem to think he’s worth.

04 Aug 2021 17:49:25
Patson daka at 20 Mill, albeit with only experience in one league. With the talent he has at such a young age, is a way better investment than origi for me.
Who has played in one of the top teams in Europe being supplied by some great players and only managing a meagre goal return.
20 Mill won't happen in my eyes, tho we do have a knack of rinsing clubs for under performing forwards.

04 Aug 2021 18:06:59
Origi has scored 34 goals in 157 games including some real beaters and arguably some of the most important and most crucial goals in the club’s recent history. Not bad nos. for a guy who barely ever plays and when he does, he is not even played to his strengths cos well, he has them. Now is that worth 20m? Hey, you are only worth what someone is willing to pay for your revives.

04 Aug 2021 20:45:35
Oli, pre-C.V. I’d say 100% 20m but Liverpool is broke rn apparently and they have both v high sponsorship deals and the best tv rights deal on top of multiple wins in CL and PL. The clubs that are going to look at Origi don’t have anywhere near that, and as much as Origi can score a goal last minute against a CL team, they’re looking for someone to score consistent goals against the Burnley’s and Brighton’s of the world whatever the leagues. If you can get 20m good for you.

04 Aug 2021 21:22:06
Yes you right maybe ask palace how benteke is getting on….

Div in the right team with a full run of games cf will get 15 in all comps.

03 Aug 2021 12:31:13
Hi eds,

Has there been any clubs interested in taking Ban Woodburn on loan?

Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Sheffield Wednesday and probably others have a declared interest in taking him on loan.}

03 Aug 2021 14:22:00
Is Liverpool looking to sell or are they happy with a loan? has he ever made an impact at any of the clubs he's been loaned to? I always forget about BW.

{Ed002's Note - They will sell if they can but that seems unlikely.}

03 Aug 2021 15:11:23
Ed002 I think am right that he has only got 1 year left on his contract I can’t see anybody paying any sort of fee for him as he has not done anything on his other loans. Think the club should let him leave for a no fee transfer and put a sell on clause if anybody shows any interest in him if it works out everybody wins.

{Ed002's Note - Yes but typically clubs will ask the player to sign a 1 year extension if they are going to be loaned. His value is low regardless.}

03 Aug 2021 17:09:20
Yeah, he has struggled to make any impact at league 1 level and he’s not a baby anymore. Not a chance he has a future at Liverpool and he’s got a fight on his hands to even make it at championship level imo.

03 Aug 2021 18:12:23
He gave it the big one at Sheff utd and since then it has been downhill.

03 Aug 2021 18:15:49
He may not make it here, but I think banning him is a little excessive.

03 Aug 2021 17:47:58
Yeah his not going to make top flight football that’s why we should next expect to much from are youngsters. He was another one that was going to be the next big thing and not to many turn out like that.

03 Aug 2021 19:54:18
It was the fans who said Woodburn was the next big thing based on a couple of cameo appearances when he was about 12 and the grown ups were injured. Spot on that the expectation on kiddies is way over-hyped.

03 Aug 2021 19:50:59
Think he's being a little unlucky with injuries too in fairness. If he can put his injuries behind him he'll have a decent career.

03 Aug 2021 20:38:27
What happened to him. Ojo. Ibe. They all had the coaching. The backing. I’m ready to put Wilson there too. Am I wasting my time looking at Cain, Gordon, Billie the Kid and numerous others each preseason seems our next Fowler/ Owen/ Sterling/ Gomez/ Gerrard?

03 Aug 2021 21:07:00
GT, Ibe had mental health and depression issues that stifled him. It’s pretty tragic what happened to him. Don’t know about the others.

03 Aug 2021 22:03:39
Oh. Ouch. Never knew about Ibe. Thinking back his persona Rarely looked excited or happy. Explains a lot. Shame.

04 Aug 2021 03:03:57
If memory serves me correctly, it was Klopp who was praising and hyping the kid (Woodburn) in interview after interview after interview, that first preseason. They jinxed the poor kid. 😔.

04 Aug 2021 03:35:15
Woodburn had bio-mechanical issues which contributed to injuries that have derailed his career. Maybe a move to Italy might work for him but certainly seems like his career is going nowhere fast atm.

{Ed0666's Note - what’s a bio mechanical issue?

04 Aug 2021 03:35:52
GT I think the simple answer is the step up from u21 to premier league is much bigger than we all assume, both in terms of ability but also mentally. Of the 2-3 kids that look amazing at u21 every season and are hyped as the ‘next big thing’ very very few are genuinely capable of making the next step to elite level.
