Transfer Rumour Ben Doak

[kenada_blue]

£30M for a Liverpool reserve team player with 3 appearances for them before they punted him to a Championship team.

That'd be a summer of 2016 type signing.

Find the idea of offsetting their £100mill splurge on the kid from Germany very unappealing.

Not in the least, but my point is that they don't have anything to lose from doing the deal. Even in the best case scenario (for us) they would still brag as if they got the better of the deal.

So? I don’t care about them.

 

[Toffeepot]

Moyes said we want "Elite" players now, I hope TFG get recruitment right so that we may challenge for the top places.
We need to be finding our own Doue's and Barcola's.

Doak could end up pure quality
Or not
But he'd be more of a threat on the RW than we've had for a couple of seasons

 

[Connor]

Think he's class.

Wouldn't give them 30m, though.

 

[allen]

If he is boss, they can say "haha, your best player couldn't even get in our team."

They'd be livid they sold him to us if he turns out to be good.

My top line would be £20m. Anything over that and we are probably being ripped off.

One way or another they'll offset that spend and having not spent much last season can afford to, not a good reason for us to miss out on a talent

 

[Lanolin]

I'm far more bothered about us getting better than I am about them. If 'giving' them £30m makes us better then who cares if it also helps them, it's a proper weird mentality to think differently to be honest.

The last player to move directly from Liverpool to Everton was Gary Ablett in January 1992

 

[Exeter_Gently]

30 million seems top heavy.

 

[W84 Dum Freeze]

hes 19 …

also a bit mad to compare him to Doue

I’m afraid we won’t be signing anyone of his calibre this window

Doue is 19.

The lad has serious lack of chops to be throwing £30M at in any case.

BS story anyway IMO.

 

[Neiler]

Like this lad a lot, he has a broad skill set, pace, skill ability to score.

What makes a bit more special then the usual RS puppy farm chaff is his vision and decision making - very impressed with both - excellent innate reader of the game.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Depends on the fee

He's a good player, but we shouldn't be paying more than probably 20-25m for someone with only championship experience. 30m is certainly too high a fee.

 

[Chegsy]

You would hope at the very least Moyes would be clued up with him being Scottish.

Salah barely misses a game for them so he's never breaking in.

30m seems a bit steep though.
