    20k a week for a league 1 player, Urgh. That is salary money that needs to go to defence. Tells me Kent ain't coming back

    20K per week :56: looks a decent prospect the lad but * paying 20K per week to player from league 1, Dembele was on 20K for * sake :56:

    Every word of this is true. There's no point pretending we're untouchable. Heed the warning signs and bring in some much needed quality.

    If we're shopping in this neck of the woods and Rangers get a a sniff, as already said on here they'll goto Rangers before us due to their manager.

    If there's fees of a decent amount then that'll be different but looks like we're trying the whole Dembele * every single time now.

    Good player and definitely an improvement on what they've got

    They'll pay * all for him, hype him up and sell him next year for a profit... It's an easy business model, and I'm surprised they don't do it more

    That's just * nonsense.

    People are putting far too much weight on Steven Gerrard's appeal.

    He has achieved absolutely nothing as a manager, yeah I get he's a huge name in football, of course he is, but in management terms he's a nobody that could barely string a run of wins together with the Liverpool youth side.

    If we had Brendan Rodgers as manager and they had Caixinha, if we were both going for Aribo and they offered £5k more a week than us, he wouldn't give a * who managed either club and the same would stand now. I don't believe we were ever really interested, given we had Harper up and the offer for Turnbull, so no danger is this a Lennon v Gerrard situation regardless of what comes out in the press.

    Rangers haven't won a trophy in years, they have a slim hope of Europa League football and that's providing they get a similarly easy route to the group stages as they did last year and their club is a mess from top to bottom. Yeah they'll throw their weight around with wages signing freebies and kids and loanees, but when it comes down to it, Celtic will always be a bigger draw than them unless something drastic happens in the future irrespective of who the manager is.

    Something they won't like to admit either is, no matter how poorly or well Gerrard does there, he isn't staying there long and most people in football will know that. As soon as a semi-decent offer from down South comes in he'll be offski.

    Because the vast majority of decent young players knows they're a * basket case of a club with little exposure beyond Scotland.

    Absolutely bang on :50:

    He's that we'll thought of as a person that he couldn't even get the best Liverpool kid's last year..

    Your likes of Harry Wilson's and Grujic's should be walking to that * pit for the messiah from Klopp. Nope, they're signing Liverpool loan's that have failed on numerous loan's elsewhere and can't even get an Oldham league 2 defender for under a mill over the line..

    There's zero perspective on here at the minute..

    Aye everyone wants to run and play for a novice at that trophyless dump getting thrown under the bus every 5 minute's..

    It isn't purely due to the manager. Many will be scared they will be bench warmers for Celtic. I think this becomes an issue when building for the future

    People still not realised the fundemental truth that players will go where the money is 99 percent of the time. Nothing to do with Gerrard , if we are shopping in the same market , the one who offers the most money will win out.

    How could a team that takes in £30m compared to our 100m actually manage to offer more? They must be back on the EBT train.

    Would have been decent for us I reckon.

    Huge diff in talking about getting a player in and actually doing it. This was a no brainer due to no transfer fee of note. If he was useless punt back down south and make a little cash. If he's cracking you make a fortune.

    But you do get that 1% though look at Dembele, he had other offers and came here because of the snake.

    I think it’s naive to think they don’t have a bit more of a pulling power with Gerrard at the helm, some of the players they have got wouldn’t have entertained them if Pedro, the bread man of Ally and co where there.

    Sevco have a decent scouting network via ex-scouts from Liverpool and Man City who became agents or work on the recruitment side.
    Aribo is either going to Sevco, Villa, Spurs, Man City, Arsenal or Hull depending on what club you support.
    Sevconians aren't the only group of supporters who've been told their club has beaten their rivals to, the signing of Aribo.
    Aribo does have the same agent as Ojo who used to scout for Liverpool.
    That's the connection. So far i'm seeing the same story being pushed at different fans who support different clubs.
    It's either "club x should challenge club y for this player", or
    "club x has fended off interest from Man City to sign this player". You can just simply change Man City to Celtic or club x to Aston Villa.
    Same news different teams.

    If hes useless? Like hendry, compper, allan, benyu etc etc etc, players who bloat the squad on long contracts with nil chance of playing.

    No thanks!

    You give someone 20k and if they flop you can't get shift. To be honest I think it is strange he would leave the championship for rangers
