Both and it's of equal importance.
Exactly this. We need to score more goals.
It isn't be the price itself I would have any issue with. If you'd asked me before the summer what Mount would go for I'd have guessed £50-55m, so paying slightly more than that doesn't mean anything.
Kane is worth paying for now
They're never paying £60m+ for him.
Pretty sure it's 35m going up to 55m. So roughly what Mount could potentially cost.
Not really fan of this view, if we move on, I'd rather we move on fully from them and not waste another year in hope we get them for free because anything could change between now and then. Also, Mount may well be good option for a free as he's still young, but Kane will be 31. He may still do a job, but not for long. We need better younger world class signings to take us to that level.
Right about what? My point is Mount’s a poor signing. He’s just not a high quality player.
Spot on.
Might want to look at Rabiot thread for update,would be prepared to wait for Mount on free but should go big for Kane now
This is really mad. If we think he’s that good we should pay the £70m fee quoted.
Ten Hag doesn't always have to be right. As a club we should be targeting a wider range of players than just Erik's obsessions. Even Ten Hag didn't think Casemiro would be as good as he is for us, the guy isn't foolproof. Relying on managers for all of your targets is how you end up with Liverpools recent issues after they chased all of Klopps favorites.
I've seen enough of Mount to form an opinion. So if you are claiming that I don't watch football, then that is actually the fanciful narrative.
I saw him at his best and Lingard at West Ham was a similar type of player. He operated well around the box, some good link up, some nice footwork/dribbling, moving advanced of the CF to score goals etc, but I never thought he was a genuinely a top level player. I don't think his technical ability is excellent at all, compare him with a truly excellent player like De Bruyne and there is a clear difference in quality.
Where have I heard this before? Mkhitaryan, Kagawa, Van de Beek. I said the same thing about all of these players, who also looked equally good elsewhere.
I've only watched a handful of matches? Look at his stats for last season. I saw enough of Chelsea/Mount playing ducal (and enough of him being sat on the bench) to see he wasn't playing well or having a good season.
Never understand why people talk about pre-contracts like they're relevant to anything.
Yeah this is why we need the new owners to bring in a better recruitment team with negotiators who won't be fecked around
Lingard's form at West Ham was a brief and obviously unsustainable purple patch. Comparing Mount to that is silly, he's generally a better player than Lingard by quite a massive amount.
We could but only need to read between the lines of those Mount tweets to see we aren't going anywhere even though we should
Remember when we walked away from Perisic over 5£m and got Alexis in January instead.
They’ve just recouped over £100m for players that weren’t even in the new manager’s plans. Sounds like they’re pretty good at business even if they’ve made some super dumb mistakes at times.
Look at the impact of going all in for the number 1 target. Instead of walking away and getting someone else than Antony, we paid 85m for him. In January we were then too broke to get a forward then there we were with weghorst. It's been said a few times but Salah wasn't Liverpool's 1st choice.
