Window Cleaner Posted 10 January, 2017 Share Posted 10 January, 2017 Fonte out for approx 6-8mil and Sakho in for 12-15mil would be a pretty decent bit of January business really. Don't get this Gabbiadini interest though, on paper he's bang average. The asking price for Sakho will be somewhere around **20 million £, probably negociable slightly but as they love our hard ball negociating tactic when we'ere selling them players I think we can rule out anything less than about 18 million to us. **It's in L'Equipe by the way.

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 10 January, 2017 Share Posted 10 January, 2017 I've only seen Sakho play for Liverpool and whilst he is physically imposing and a good athlete I've seen plenty of lapses of concentration which is a concern. He also plays like someone else is controlling his legs at times. He likes the pass the ball forward but that does also lead to mistakes (this is not much of a criticism as that is bound to happen when you pass the ball forwards so much). Only other concern is that he got thrown out of Liverpool's pre-season tour after breaking his fourth rule or something like that. So not sure how he passes our 'character' criteria. I think he would be a good player for us but he doesn't come without his baggage or deficiencies. But then again, if he didn't have them then he wouldn't come to us so swings and roundabouts.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 10 January, 2017 Share Posted 10 January, 2017 Cheap punt that no doubt left a negative effect on the balance sheet though. Fee, agent's fee, salary, costs. Probably cost us somewhere between 3 and 4 million at the end of the day for zero return. That sort of deal is why we have no money for real transfers. Gardos is the same, a total waste of money, he's probably cost us over 10 million so far and is just not contributing anything. Big clubs can afford that sort of thing, they can always get a Chinese Noodle maker to fund their errors but ours come at the price of selling good players and replacing them with average ones. We've no choice than to take a punt on players like this, some work out, some don't . If we only signed " premiership ready " players we'd might as well get Tony Pulis or Fat Sam in and become West Brom. I was in Malaga the summer we signed him & ex pats were raving about him, including a saints fan from Romsey. They were ST holders so saw him every other week and rated him highly. You don't get into the Spanish squad if you can't play. It didn't work out, but that shouldn't stop us from trying to attract nippers like this. One last thought in light of what we know know about Koeman & nippers . It didn't work out, but did Koeman really give him a chance? Perhaps under Puel we may have ended up with the same result, but I can't help feeling he'd have had more chances and more time to develop. At least we'd have known he wasn't good enough after seeing him play, and not just coming on for 5 mins occasionally .

All of his injuries have finally caught up with him and after his doping ban, Liverpool obviously consider him more trouble than he's worth, which is why they want to get rid of him, so they've got a bit of a cheek demanding that much. http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mamadou-sakho/verletzungen/spieler/47713 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't moan just for the sake of moaning. Boufal at the price we paid is a great deal for an up and coming player who has enormous potential. When we paid 12m for Long at the time, I thought it was completely overpriced. What we have here is a French international who failed a drug test, hasn't played for 8 months and was kicked out of Liverpool's pre season tour for behaviour issues. If we were sensible enough we would negociate a loan deal with a view of making it permanent in the summer. Paying 20 million is a smack of desperation and the complete opposite of Reed's comments of the January transfer window. I personally don't think the club are stupid enough to pay that sum, but if they are God help us. I have the priviledge of living in another country other than the UK, and From where I'm looking teams in England are paying way over the top for average players.

Cartman Posted 10 January, 2017 Share Posted 10 January, 2017 From wikipedia: On 23 April 2016, it was announced that Sakho was being investigated by UEFA for violating an anti-doping rule, after he was tested on 17 March following a Europa League game against Manchester United. The club, along with Sakho, agreed that while UEFA were investigating, he would not be available for team selection. Five days later, after testing positive for a fat-burner, UEFA punished him with a 30-day ban from all European football, which FIFA extended to cover all world football. On 28 May 2016, the ban expired after the substance was found to not be in the banned substance list. On 8 July 2016, the case was dismissed by UEFA.

way down south Posted 10 January, 2017 Share Posted 10 January, 2017 That could have just been endless passes back to the keeper and 5 yard passes to his fellow defenders... I can verify that he can ping some 40/45 yard diagonals from time to time, also left footed so compliments vvd, strange and unconventional yet surprisingly effective with the ball too. I think its his frame and posture that makes him look clumsy. But 18-20£? Seems very unlike Us and he's not young enough to develop and be sold for twice what we paid, he's 26/27 I think. But nonetheless would be pleased if we got him, defo an upgrade on fonte IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 10 January, 2017 Share Posted 10 January, 2017 i know there is transfer fee inflation, but I simply don't see how Sahko can be worth more than Liverpool paid for him. I perhaps have not seen enough of him to make a good judgement, but he also looked very uncomfortable on the ball to me. Crucial position and one of the hardest to find truly top class players that can win headers and physical battles, but also have the pace and agility to stay with speedy tricky attackers.
