I think that is a realistic figure that does not take into account the stupidly inflated transfer market of recent times.

Don't get me wrong I really really like him and he does a great job for us, but if he does indeed want to go, what's the point in holding him back?
 
Oh god Mascherano is worth 30 million? The world has gone mad-er

If Fabregas goes as expected for around 40m then Mascherano is worth no more than 20m

Yes he's good at the job he does but lets face it his game is quite limited, not a great passer, doesn't create, doesn't score tbh I'm surprised Barca showed interest in him last summer

He'd be perfect for Inter though to play alongside Cambiasso (sp?)
 
I seem to remember everybody on here saying Alonso wasn't worth even £20m last summer. He went for £30-35m. So I guess the world has gone mad.

And you need to watch more of Masch if you don't think he's a good passer of the ball.
 
If James Milner is worth £28m, Kuyt and Mascherano are worth more than £33m.

The reason I wouldnt sell to Benitez is not because its not a good deal, but mainly because I know the new manager wont see any of the money- It'll go in Hicks' back pocket.
 
£33m is a good deal for Inter, I wouldn't be surprised if Liverpool wanted closer to £40m for those two players, considering they're two of Liverpool's most prominant players.

That's the thing with the stupid transfer market of today.

Milner is not worth £28 million. Probably anywhere between £10-£15 tops. But the crazy world we live in means people slap stupid price tags on them and then along come some stupid Saudi's or rich Russian and pay it.

Alonso is by far a more complete player so seeing as he did go for 30m+ then that alone puts Mascherano in the 20m price band and not worth a penny more

As for his passing ability I guess you saying he's a good passer is the same as me saying Fletcher's a good passer, you're probably never going to get the opposition to agree so all I'll say is you see more of him that I do but I still cant remember a game where he's been spraying the ball all over the place playing intricate little balls through to the attacking players - but again you see more of him than I do
 
Hate transfer talk when they "drop a hint" of a location then they suddenly know who it is :p

Jozy Altidore dropping a hint with Fulham apparently...be a great signing if we did get him..

Also the bid rejected for Schwarzer was apparently £3m. Which is probably double/just over what his contract probably costs. Think hes on £30-40k or something (from a free transfer).

^ Take it almunia aint good enoough anymore?

Mark Schwarzer, very good goalkeeper. Never gets the credit he deserves.

Almunia has never been any good;)...even our back up Flappy is just as useless.

Schwarzer is a decent GK but hes a bit too old...was hoping that Arsenal would sign a younger better GK but i wouldnt mind seeing him at Arsenal if we do get him.

Still being linked with J Cole...Utd and Spuds also interested in securing his services...hopefully Arsenal will get him in the end.

And Wenger has finally broken his silence on the Fabregas will he wont he go saga...saying that he is not willing to sell Fabregas and wants Fabregas at Arsenal next season.

Daily Telegraph said:
The La Liga champions have already failed with a £30m bid for the Spain international, who is currently away with his national team at the World Cup in South Africa.

Fabregas, 23, joined Arsenal in 2003 from Barca's youth academy and currently captains Wenger's first team. As such the Frenchman is loath to lose his most influential player, telling ESPN: "What is important is that Cesc has a great World Cup and that he comes back to Arsenal with a great desire to do well for the club.

"We want to keep our best players - that's my huge determination - I built this team for years from 16 and 17 years of age with most of the players.

"We want to continue to work with them because we feel we are very close, and strengthen the team in a very strong way."

While Wenger will do everything in his power to keep Fabregas, he knows the player himself wants to one day return to Barcelona and, should the Spanish club make an offer Arsenal can't refuse, it is more than likely a move will be agreed.

The guy's awesome, I hope him (and Holland) win just so he can ask what the **** that useless paper churns out these days.

Yeah my favourite blog really, especially because he links to other blogs within his own articles. He does a good podcast on a Friday, don't think he's doing it during the summer though, he does it every Friday of the season, quite informative but with a few laughs as well.

LOL yeh that is true but at least hes said something now ie Wenger...before there was nothing from Arsenal or Wenger on the Fabregas saga....it was Fabregas and Barca making the comments etc.

I do think that Fabregas should stay another season...let Wenger strengthen the squad and if we dont win anything next season then fair enough he can go...thats my opinion. We were in the thick of the title battle up until the last few games when our injuries got the better of us...suffered 2 embarrassing losses against Wigan and Blackburn which effectively ended our season. Our run in to the title this season went on a massive nosedive lol.
 
I hope now that we don't carry on with the Schwarzer thing. We made a bid, Fulham apparently say he's not for sale and that should be that. Otherwise we're no better than Barca. Eww.
 
I don't think Ronaldo was worth 80 million.

I don't think Masch is worth 33 million +, but you want to get the best you can for your players, If I was at Liverpool and someone wanted to buy Masch, I'd be wanting to get as much as possible. If that was 20, 30, 35, million whatever.

Lescott is a good example, he wasn't worth 24 million, Everton got as much as they could for him.

Don't really have a problem with that.

IF Masch goes, will Torres and Gerrard go?
 
in purely footballing terms ronaldo might not have been worth 80mil..

in terms of publicity and other revenue streams on top of his age and football talent, he probably was worth it.
