He apparently extended with the understanding that, if Ramos and Pepe were both retained this summer, he could leave the club if he wanted to with a pricetag of 25 mil (that would be ridiculous).

Hope we are in there if there is even 5% truth in that. 25m is great for him.

you don't believe that for a second RG. I think outlets like Express and Metro are having a laugh recycling the 19m pounds rumour they've been running since they invented it a couple of windows ago, regardless of a fresh 6-year contract lol

Mattia Perin played as starter for Delfino Pescara in Serie A in 2012/13 and I actually watched a handful of matches of them as I was curious about Perin.

Thanx RWO, I forgot Pescara played in Serie A.

Liverpool are interested in West Brom striker Berahino and if they receive a bid of more than £20m, then they will sell him, according to Sky Sports.

Damn, Sky is pretty reliable . We are gonna do another 'Carroll'.

Actually heard that Liverpool are trying to get Origi to Liverpool now as opposed to the summer... offered an extra 6 mil euros which would bring the total to 21 mil euros for him.  Lille haven't said yes mainly because they have absolutely nobody to replace him lol.  He's not that great...  but he's their only legit striker.

Not sure how a kid who needs a TON of seasoning is going to help Liverpool tbh. He has 4 goals in 21 games for Lille so far and 3 of those came before the end of September.

Not really. It says you are interested and they would sell for 20m, not you would pay 20m.

Well, like I posted on the Liverpool board:

Also it's worth noting that Lille have recalled their striker on loan (Diaby) and made an official enquiry about Sigthorsson out of Ajax (please be true, get him away from Ajax, plug). Signs pointing to Origi coming to Liverpool early IMO.

Not sure it's really better for him to play in France for a team that sits deep, isolates their strikers and plays hoofball. Origi needs to play for a team that uses his pace, passes into space and has some inclination to attack. On top of this he's been getting booed by the Lille fans as well. Not really a great developmental stint IMO.

It's no surprise Origi looks much better with Belgium than he does with Lille. Just a completely different mentality. It will do no good for Origi to stay with Lille at this point IMO. Especially since his parent club looks to play such a contrasting style.

Check your facts before posting rubbish fees man

the initial fee was £9.8m.

And Echo is saying we're willing to pay an additional £3m which equates to about €3.8m.

€21m

http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Liverpool-rehausse-son-offre-pour-origi/525944

According to l'Equipe, without the bonus clause, the current purchase price of Origi is 13 mil Euros for the summer.  Liverpool have offered an additional 6 mil euros to bring the total price without bonus to 19 mil for Lille to release him now.  The bonus is estimated at a minimum of 2 mil... which would make it 21 mil.

So yeah, my figures are right according to l'Equipe.  yours is from the Echo.  Neither are "facts".

Chelsea are considering whether to offer a contract to Micah Richards, according to the Guardian. His contract with Man City expires this summer.

It's begun again Di Marzio's programme on Sky Italy today

According him , QPR has proposed to Inter a swap Taarabt with M'Vila

Petr Cech very close to AS Roma for June , according Di Marzio.

Inter already have Hernanes/Guarin for CAM and Taarabt was struggling for fitness recently.

tbh Mancini would like playing with 4-2-3-1 system so Taarabt would be winger as last year with Milan ( and Podolski same role in Arsenal)  . CAM should be Kovacic,Hernanes midfielder probably ( but it can be the  contrary , they can play both midfield and CAM) .. Guarin is basically a fraud lol so no problems.
This would be the idea . Anyway it is not possible atm because we signed just Podolski and infact at the moment we are going  to play with 4-3-1-2  

Anyway according Di Marzio Inter has refused now   because it wants signs  a better player than him. We are trying to sign Shaqiri from Bayern . But  if it fails  Taarabt might be an eventuality ... ( lol masive downgrade .... I think he ' d be okay as back up though  because M'Vila is even more useless than him .... )

You'll sign Shaqiri I think. Don't forget Rummenigge has a soft spot for you, doesn't matter if Liverpool offer a couple million more.

Taarabt is garbage lol, Robes if it happens you should send an E-Mail to the Italian government claiming Thohir is gay as a protest.

Many Inter fans trust in Kalle too
but personally I think sentiments counts nothing on transfer market. If we sign also the Swiss it would be the best transfer market since 2009 for us, I think he 'd mark a turning point for us . for many reasons ..it could give also great enthusiasm to environment firstly . Inter fans talk only about him these days lol . they think more to him than match against Juventus . It was so much time we weren't so careful for a potential signing. but I prefer not deceive myself.

Great Leader Sprucenuce wrote:Taarabt is garbage lol, Robes if it happens you should send an E-Mail to the Italian government claiming Thohir is gay as a protest.

Taarabt is much  more appreciated in Italy than England anyway lol

Even Taarabt said it on Sky Italy in Di Marzio's programme when he was hosted recently and infact he said to want going back in Italy.

We have a good memory about him because he played well with Milan , it was strange Milan didn't get him back .. but firstly because he was a choice made by Seedorf
Most Milan fans hoped in his return

Contrarily in England he is rated just as a player for Championship

Both are meh imo , but Taarabt would be more useful ( but I want him just as back up ) . M'Vila is not capable to be over Kuzmanovic ffs

It's a shame what happened to Mvila... Players' careers can turn so easily...

well obviously you shouldn't 'deceive yourself', no idea what is going to happen.
But I'll say this much, we have shown in the past that we won't be too greedy about transfer fees if a player who's not done anything wrong but is not needed anymore/wants more time elsewhere has a certain club in mind.

It's known that we had better offers for Gomez than 14m € () from Fiorentina, but that's where Gomez wanted to go so we were ok with it.
I'd imagine with Shaqiri it should be a bit more than what we paid (which is 11-12m).

So if you, say, offer, something like 14/15m and Shaqiri WANTS to join you (di Marzio apparently says you have agreed terms), and then invite Rummenigge over to Milano for a nice dinner and give him the chance to speak his rusty Italian once again for good old times sake, I'd say you're good

Only thing I'd imagine could go wrong is that Liverpool might push harder to persuade him now that Lallana is injured

Meh tbh it wouldn't matter how much we want Shaqiri. He clearly doesn't want to come

It's a bit strange too since he wanted to come in the summer but Bayern refused to sell.

yes your reasoning is totally correct and also I thought this   remembering for Mario Gomez ( anyway when I watch Mario Gomez in Serie A 15 mln look like  a massive deal, so far a real flop .. his costant injures penalized him exceedingly ).
I don't deceive myself because I fear always when we must compete with English clubs ( money money moneyyy ) and not much for Bayern etc ( I agree with you ) but because they could persuade the player with salary not comparable to ours.

anyway tbh I don't understand really if Liverpool wants him.

Di Marzio says yes, Sky UK ( on paper same tv lol ) says Liverpool is on Berahino but it  doesn't talk much about Shaqiri , L 'Equipe says on Origi , Tony Barrett says No offers made for Shaqiri.

our interest is sure , and infact we talk only about him . even on Inter channel was the main matter today lol  it would be a great disappointment not sign him for many Inter fans tbh, many are having great expectations about chances to get him.

Anyway  ,  today  Di Marzio added  on Shaqiri that Atletico Madrid, Valencia and Stoke City ( ) are interested to him too now , although according him Inter and Liverpool are ahead in race to sign him.

We got Suso

Might as well let him sit on the bench for 6 months now

Do you guys know why Shaqiri prefers Inter over Liverpool?

probably because pool are a declining mess in a league where too many teams are better than they are

mr-r34 wrote:Do you guys know why Shaqiri prefers Inter over Liverpool?

He is starter 100% to Inter, even if he would be drunk. We are very poor for offensive solutions.
In Liverpool he would have competition. ( LFC has many players in that side, infact it 'd have other needs on paper)
And if he leaves Bayern ... he wants to have certainties . Otherwise he stays in Bayern . There is not great advantage.
And basically if you must choose among 2 top teams for name but not for present you choose where you play as sure starter, at least.
If he prefers Inter, I think there are the reasons
