Sure one thing that is very noticeable from Liverpool’s transfer strategy is that they try to balance the books in that before they spend, they sell for a similar value.

Take the blades all we have done for the last three years is spend, no balance.

And yes, we have sold but for peanuts when you look at who we’ve sold and what they have become.

Maybe we need to sell at a PL market rate...

We should have been selling at market rate long before now.

Surely Hendo was still option A until Man Utd gave him that ludicrous contract and expected us to pay his wages in full for another loan

Although I see it more as 1a and 1b, I'd suspect Ramsdale was always on the radar especially as it became apparent Bournemouth may get relegated

we were certainly spoilt with that lad

50 m is a laugh though 10m ramsdake 7 m for the pair from Derby Berge 20m I think was the fee before

Well it's not going to be £50m if you halve the Ramsdale fee, take a couple of mil off the Berge fee and a few more for good measure off the full backs.

Add 22, 18.5 and 10 and see what you come out with

Because that was the true fees
 
Can't see any rumours about him going elsewhere so he must be coming to us 👀

Ramsdale wasn't £18.5m. He might cost us £18.5m if every performance target is met but Wilder only mentioned that fee as it was reported at such. He's a master of media manipulation.

The Prince is also correct that Ramsdale would have been the record signing but for the sell-on clause. That, too, is reliant on all the performance targets being met and if that happens we'll be a very successful football club and Ramsdale will be England's #1.

Berge £22m (€25m) ✅
Bogle/Lowe £7m ➡️ £11m
Ramsdale £10.5m ➡️ £18.5m

Current outlay: £39.5m. Potential outlay: £51.5m.

What makes you so certain of these figures?
 
Surely people don’t believe Liverpool will just cave in at last minute and drop price ??

They just as likely send him on loan to Swansea again or even more likely a team like palace or Villa pay the asking price

IMO the likely reason the latter hasn’t happened is because the lad wants to come here and Klopp likely likes the lad and so wants that to happen but surely there is a limit to how long they wait

Not drop the price, take what’s on offer. The price they want, but next summer not this one

Gut instinct and a sceptical view on everything.
Where did the £18.5m figure for Ramsdale get leaked? Bournemouth's end.
Where did the £15m figure for Bogle & Lowe get leaked? Derby's end.
Both sources had aggrieved fanbases to placate so leaking the best possible outcome was in their interest.

Paying what someone wants is irresponsible and naeve. Fortunately Steve Bettis is a cool customer...he won’t crumble under pressure and overpay.
You need to stay calm and pay what something is worth to you...and what you can realistically afford.....taking into account manageable debt.

Assume you’re born in 97.....imagine wanting to buy a 2nd hand car...that you really like....you’re desperate to buy it.
The Parkers book price guide says the car is worth £8.000.
You see some scratches but know you can polish them out...so offer a very realistic £7000

He says loads of people are interested...so he wants £14,000.
You only have £8000 but could borrow an extra £6000 from friends and family.
You inform him you‘re not paying £14K and expect him to sell it to other buyers.....because he said loads were interested with several big offers.

A few weeks later you notice the car is still for sale but now he’s reduced it to £11K which is still £3000 over the odds.
You ask why its still for sale....he says he’s had time wasters...and might not sell it now but £11K would force a very reluctant sale.
You again tell him the official valuation is £8K and that’s the most you’ll pay in cash with no time wasting.

He says he‘s still confident he can sell it for over 10K because he’s still seeing plenty of interest.

The big question

Do you get all emotional thinking this guy is a dick head and walk away throwing a few insults in his direction or do you stay amicable and just wait in the wings?

If someone does give him £10K (like an Aston Villa) then it’s disappointing but not a disaster because the buyer has overpaid.
You are already well prepared...looking at other cars where you can offer £8K and these might end up being better...also you won’t be in debt.

HOWEVER weeks later you notice the car you want is still up for sale...with a further reduced price of £9K.
You approach him again...explaining his adverts are costing him money....and you can give him £8K in cash this afternoon...as per the official book price valuation.
He comes to his senses....your patience and doggedness paid off....and a deal is done.

Although you could look at it as,
You are browsing on gumtree, you see a Clockwork Evo bike, bought over lockdown, not used and the seller is thinking about Christmas. Bought new 4 months ago, for £1,250 - the guy wants £750. Ridden twice. You weren't that serious about buying a bike, but at that price, it's an absolute steal, and you really must buy it, before it goes. Because it won't come round again. And you could even resell it for £900 because you aren't desperate for the money.
Add to that, regardless of the price, Wilder thinks its a good buy, he wants a striker, he has asked the board, and, on past record, we know he would never just ask for money if it wasn't worth it. If we lose out on this it's not a good sign for going forward. And I'm not talking about just a striker.
This is all assuming Wilder thinks it's a good buy, and the board are refusing, however, it could be that the board want to go ahead and Wilder is telling them to wait.

Is the club soon to be at risk of losing some or a sizeable proportion of the fans gained over the last 25 years?
