Being reported in the last hour that van der Berg has asked Edwards and Hughes to lower his price tag so he can get a move away from LFC.

Well that would disappoint Victor for sure. Ed02 said this long back and the man is an absolute legend on transfers. The lad wants out!
14 Jul 2024 16:30:46
Why would we lower his price that we have set. He is a very good player by all accounts and we have a contract with the player for another 2 years so If no one wants to pay what we are asking then he stays and sees out his contract it’s as simple as that!

The value of good young players with one season (or less) behind them is set by a ridiculous market, and the money within the game, not by Sepp VBD.

It’s basically the same story from a few weeks back just resurfacing as there’s nothing much for journos to write other than linking us to dross like Rabiot.
14 Jul 2024 17:20:00
If he wants to go that much, just let him go. Get in touch with his agent and work something out.
14 Jul 2024 17:57:30
Yes. Exactly the same story being written all over again.

The way we currently play is not for every CB. Very few are suitable for defending half a pitch between two. It might change with Slot slightly but i was at a couple of games at anfield and could not believe the sheer volume of space covered between VVD and Konate. i've only seen Sepp on Youtube. Looks a decent prsopect but not sure he fits our style. Looks more of a third defender like Gomez atm and in a back 3 im sure Sepp would definitely find his feet. But if our usual system where TAA wonders around and Robbo is keen to serve his natural instints and go forward then not sure Sepp would thrive. Happy to be proved wrong but in our current system i think the all rounders like VVD Konate and Quansah are better suited i. e. huge, mobile, good in the air, good at duels in open space, ball playing etc. Big step up for Sepp but if he's fine with 4th choice then he's a good backup but doubt he's fine with that. At this moment id put Gomez ahead of Sepp.

What victor said.

Being reported that the club has set a price of 22 Million on Van den Berg. For someone who has no experience in the EPL, I thought the price was a bit high. Maybe Van den Berg is expecting an 8 million price like has been placed on Phillips?
In any case VDB has a contract that still has 2 years, and he's being paid the wages he is obligated to receive. So stop talking to the Press and sending agents to complain everywhere. Just buckle down and excel in training, so somebody is impressed enough to pay that 22 Million. No problem at all if you want to go. End of.

Sepp is a better player than Phillips, Nat went on loan to Bunesliga 2,couldnt get a game for celtic. Meanwhile CB's on loan at Southampton last year are going for 20 mill, its certainly a fair price for Sepp!

I don't get the furore around this lad, he's obviously not good enough for us, best for all involved that he finds a home somewhere else at his level.
15 Jul 2024 08:27:58
He qualifies as a homegrown player for us, so if he was to be sold the price would have a premium amount placed upon it.
15 Jul 2024 10:11:03
He has experience in the Bundesliga tho ArAy and highly thought of too. I mean you don’t get much these days for €22 million. I think it’s reasonable enough if you ask me.

Irish, I have no real issue with VDB being worth 22 million. But then Phillips is worth more than 8 million consequently, and that Turkish club offered only 4 million. Phillips and Williams saved our neck that year when we had the CB crisis. He has enough EPL experience to be worth more than 8 million, I would say.
