Liverpool went all in for him but didn't expect Caicedo to reject them. Edited July 30, 2025 by TheHulk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 19,280 Posted July 30, 2025 Share Posted July 30, 2025 Does feel a bit odd how long we’ve gone in “advanced” negotiations without actually completing these deals. Hato seems nailed on at this point judging by what Fabrizio said last night but something feels off with Simons. I don’t feel confident at all right now that we’ll get Simons done. I suspect what’s taking so long is that both sides are digging their heels in deeply at their hardline valuations and neither are budging. So I can see us walking away and just getting fucking Garnacho. TheHulk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,765 Posted July 30, 2025 Share Posted July 30, 2025 The slowness for me is down to the multitude of things happening all at once. We have two blokes trying to get signings over the line and also bodies out of the door and quite a few at that. I'm not worried by it, just takes time and the fact Romano is saying here we go soon on Hato means finer details to be sorted, and on Simons that will get done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’m almost getting Maignan vibes from the Simons deal. The club were given the impression by someone that a deal could be done for a low price, we bid said amount with genuine desire from the player to move, but then the selling club say nope, we want much more.

Yes, it would have to be a sizeable offer although, in a negotiation, I might blink before we get to £150m. My parameter would be the cost of the left winger we aim to bring in + the cost of Rogers. That said, if Rogers was interested in forcing a move away from Villa rumours about that might have started circulating by now. If they are out there I haven't come across them so hopes of getting him this summer look unrealistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
