Tuna Posted 3 July 2021 Share Posted 3 July 2021 Laughing all the way to the bank if we managed to flog Pèrez to Everton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frany104 Posted 3 July 2021 Share Posted 3 July 2021 I’d honestly consider taking 5-10 mill for Perez. He’s useless. Waste of wages and a squad place. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UHDrive Posted 3 July 2021 Share Posted 3 July 2021 We can't sell Perez for anything under £18-20mil. We need funds for in defence and out wide. Selling Choudhury for £15-18mil and Mendy (may keep for sqaud depth), say £12-14mil. Mendy isn't that bad at setting in the area ndidi plays at and distributing the ball forward. People have said to sell Praet but that's a big no for me. We are already struggling with a RW and at least Preat is very versatile and direct in the right of centre mid. I'm not sure which way that's going to go but I hope he stays. With those players gone it would get us a RW if there's one available. If not keep Praet and force the issue with Tarkowski. If he wants out of their then he needs to push them from his end as well as us testing the waters throwing a few bids in. If Tarkowski isn't bothered or doesn't seem so then we need to move on quickly. The wage bill has significantly gone down with players leaving and while I wouldn't advocate breaking the bank, I would use ffp and the other key signings to get us to where BR wanted which was 4/5 incomings.

splinterdream Posted 3 July 2021 Share Posted 3 July 2021 I think Perez is a forward/striker to be played in a front 2, we just haven't played him in that position for an extended period. His only assets is his ability to win the ball high up the pitch and his close ball control in the box. He's never going to play this position for us so should be moved on ASAP.

Cmon fabrizioromano I don't think anyone's saying we want to sell Praet, just that it's expected that Praet would want to move to somewhere he can get game time and it would be great to see him make more of a career than as a bench player. Obviously it would be much better for the club for him to stay, he's a very good player and a well liked one. It's just hard to see a route for him where he breaks into a starting position without injuries. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d take 10 million for him. You can get caught up in the “we can’t take less because we paid this much” game, but 10 million is still money that can go towards a player that will actually be of some use. 10 million more than zero, to be precise. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Edited 3 July 2021 by Deeg67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the position that he plays and the lack of players in the area then the club needs to be forceful in keeping him here. There is no point building a great team if we leave ourselves weak in this area. Praet I've always advocated, but if we can't fix this RW area then the club must keep him.

Ric Flair Posted 3 July 2021 Share Posted 3 July 2021 We could sell Perez for £10m, save about £10m in wages over 3 years too and pay £5-6m loan fees for the remainder of his contract here for better wingers who's clubs need bunce or who have fallen out of favour.

Pérez (I’m not a fan boy) is right now the guy we put in at 10 in the Madders role when he’s injured or knackered. For me we’d need a replacement player of creative ilk rather than just smashing it all on wingers… Don’t get me wrong, I’d love somebody that can stand up near a football as the replacement but do feel we would need one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Sionnach Posted 3 July 2021 Share Posted 3 July 2021 The only player sold is Knight , I'm sure we are open to offers on a number of players but no firm interest in anybody. Pereira is almost certainly available but will be pretty expensive. We so often get stuck with players we struggle to sell but we need to do this if we going to be in a position to bid for a player like Pereira.

Pereira Blas Olise Madueke I would like to see further efforts to bring a player who has a bit of diversity about them. We've been blessed throughout the team of having players who can player the opposite side when needed, and wingers for example that have been able to swap mid-game. We could do with a new and improved Albrighton. That's no disrespect to Marc, he's probably our most underrated player of all time imo. But we need to phase him out, and now is the time. We can't forgo the defensive assets that we also need with a great attacking threat. Who have we been linked with that fits that criteria so far that's not wishful thinking? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowlattsFox Posted 3 July 2021 Share Posted 3 July 2021 I don't know we keep having to have the Perez conversation. He's a decent player but shouldn't be starting for us, end of discussion really. Paying £30m was the problem but that isn't his fault. Got no problem with him being an option from the bench, his best performances have been when he comes off the bench when we are winning and helps finish the game off.

Ditto to that. Out of all of our players there are a couple that I'd say are too lazy in game management. You ever find that when we are losing with 10 minutes to go that Perez acts like it's his day off. Maddison can be infuriating too but that's different.

The thought of him costing us £30m still stings... considering weve just spent £40m on a midfielder that won the french league last season and a forward whos been compared to Mane and haarland ffs. i can understand the hate bridgade on this one haha, fml poor recruitment.

Thing is the more he gets slagged off , the less likely he is to leave. Rodgers hates to admit he is wrong so he will keep playing him. The bloke is a pro and gets paid well so unless some other deluded club offers him the same money , he will see his contract out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
