doddisalegend Posted 28 July, 2017 Share Posted 28 July, 2017 VVD to Liverpool is done - I'm told. That would be ****ing ridiculous and basically just green light teams to tap up our players (we might complain but we will let you have them anyway) we'd be made to look like right dicks. It Also basically green lights players to go on strike if they don't get their way. There is literally no PR the club could use that would make them look anything less than stupid if they do this.

Saint Albert Posted 28 July, 2017 Share Posted 28 July, 2017 VVD to Liverpool is done - I'm told. That would be irritating. As we search for a replacement every club will know we have VVD money, and will adjust their asking price accordingly. The Mail today has Wimmer at the top of our list of potential replacements if a VVD sale goes through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badgerx16 Posted 28 July, 2017 Share Posted 28 July, 2017 (edited) Very poor decision by the Board if true. Just hope we got our publicly stated valuation up front, and a sell on clause. Edited 28 July, 2017 by badgerx16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diabolus Ex Machina Posted 28 July, 2017 Share Posted 28 July, 2017 Will be a backlash no doubt and sets a very dangerous precedent. I'll wait and see exactly what the deal is but anything less than max price would be a slap in the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expected him to leave months ago so I'm not in the least bit bothered and interested to see how we spend the cash. It's not leaving that is the issue most of us expected that. It's the complaining about the tapping up and then selling him him to the club that tapped him up that is the issue the club have made themselves look ridiculous by going through this whole charade. Sell him to someone else for 60 million plus and it's the same old same old no drama. It's selling him to Liverpool that's the problem not the act of selling him.

jasonb Posted 28 July, 2017 Share Posted 28 July, 2017 Hope Les and the board have broad shoulders and are prepared for the backlash if that is the case. if its any less than 60m then meltdown time .. The only way they recover from this is if the VVD money is used to fund the Bale deal. They might just get away with it in that case ? I think I already posted in this thread that if VVD does indeed go to them, I hope we disclose the full cost of the transfer to appease our supporters rather than the usual undisclosed. Undisclosed leaves the door wide open for the Scouse media machine to rub our noses in it even more by claiming the deal was all on their terms. I want Les to man up and come out and tell us VVD was sold for £70m cash up-front. I know none of that will happen as it worsens our position as buyers in the market but I would still like to see it, it's not my money after all. I just don't like those pesky Scouse gits thinking they pulled our trousers down... Probably in the minority on this. All of the above is fairly tongue-in-cheek btw, for any of our Scouse visitors reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 28 July, 2017 Share Posted 28 July, 2017 If we're selling him to them it needs to be for £75million, we cannot sell him for less than our valuation and we cannot sell to them even for it - any other outcome we've made ourselves look like idiots.
