£16m For Wilf?? - Liverpool Comedy Lives On 08:20 - Aug 15 with 5169 views

So today's papers tell us that Liverpool are about to up their '£12.5m offer' for Wilf with an extended one for £16m and former manager Brendan Rodgers believes that will be enough to part us to sell.

I think it wont be far off.
I do think the board would be happier with Wilf gone. Reason being, i believe they bought Gomis with the view of replacing Bony as they thought there would be loads of clubs in for him.
As seen in the Villareal game, we would struggle to play with the 2 up front and will revert to our 451 formation. Hence Gomis will be the main man.
I cant see us keeping both strikers happy by 1 of them being on the bench every week (which i think will be the case due to the formation we play which is the best for our team), so i think HJ and the board would be keen to move Bony on and have Gomis as our main man.
Just my gut opinion, cue the abuse

I agree.. I mean they brought Wilf on when we had no idea Michu was going to be out for an entire season. sure we had European commitments so it was nice to have the extended arsenal, but as I said in another post I think it will make us the better for having two strikers one in reserve. and Gomis and Bony are such different players that it gives us different flavours to work through depending on the game plan.

It did seem to me that Huw's ill-judged interview of a couple of weeks ago was likely to result in a club coming in to test the water at that sort of figure. Could it be that the Mirror wasn't as far out as we all thought? I'd hate that to be true. If we accept a sub-20m fee I think we know what lies ahead - back to the comfort zone of the Championship.

Gomis is not a replacement for Wilf. We need more than one striker, it's two weeks before the window shuts and with our record it takes double that to get a transfer done so too late, he's staying

You're too late he has been labelled as a replacement for Wilf it is the only reason we bought him and we are completely gutted that Bony is still here. It's the new way.

We can't have two good strikers at the club at the same time but similarly we can't have Bony backed up by Vazquez and Lita. Again, there is no middle ground ;)

At least £25 m or no deal in my opinion and that's withe the proviso that the club have been tracking and can quickly sign a quality replacement.

This.

For the last two seasons there have been moans about Schecter, Vasquez, Lita and the Club trying to do things on the cheap. "We need two quality strikers" was the cry.

Now we have exactly that and it suddenly becomes a luxury we can't afford so Wilf must be offloaded on the cheap.

And then there was the Forum last night.....

#swansforum HJ - no bids for Bony. Indicated that too late in window. Also said'why on earth would be allow him to leave at discounted rate'

Innit, Bony or Gomis aren't enough on their own, we will need another Striker, I'd say that another one on top wouldn't go amiss as it stands, an up and coming youngster or someone promising who would be happy picking up games as and when while gaining experience.

Innit. £12m for a not particularly good journeyman like Long. On that basis, Boney must be worth at least £25m.

Head above the parapet time! I think £16 mill. would be a brilliant result for us. I would be incredibly happy to be proved wrong but I think we could really regret not taking that sort of money 12 months down the line.
I so want to be wrong, but I just do not see what the other 20,000 of you see in him to be worth more than that. Come on Mr B prove me wrong.

Yes, totally plausible story. We buy him for £15m, he has a stellar season and a half-decent world cup, and we'll sell him on for .... the same as we bought him.

Totally obvious.

If last season didn't prove to you that Bony was worth more than £16m, then I don't think he's got any chance with you.

No abuse from me. I have heard many say and think the same, yet no-one has anything to back their belief than gut feeling.

I have read nothing, heard nothing and seen nothing to make me think that the club want to sell Bony.

Listen to GM and HJ talking in fans forum and you will realise that it is not difficult to see players in the current market as agents pretty much do it without you knowing anyway, so if wanted to sell Bony we would have by now.

People were been moaning like fk when we had one quality striker and were relying on Sheckter/Vasquez. Now we have two quality strikers people still moan that that can't be right.

Yeah right,
Lakaku 15 goals worth £28M
Lallana 8 goals worth £25M
Long 7 goals worth £12M
and
Bony 17 goals only worth £16M, I don't think so.

The buy of the season has to be Lambert 13 goals for only £4m, so why did Southampton sell him for £4M and buy Long for £12M?
