Seems a ridiculously low amount.

Don't know what is wrong with you recently?

How much do you expect for him?

15m is a great price plus a sell on or buy back clause I would have thought.

We have been following Darwin Nunez since his early days at Almeria. It’s not hard to imagine Olise being a Liverpool player a couple of years down the line. Still, will put him in the Sarr / Traore pile for now.
Have no problem with that, it's just the overinflated transfer fees for young players that have proven very little that worries me. Núñez's fee is reasonable when you compare his track record to the likes of Olise, and how much they are supposed to cost.

Clinical really is gonna fill his boots if we pay £100 million for someone with a £50 million buy out fee.
As he should.  :D

To be fair, rumours for Olise are tenuous at best. When Nkunku’s got a €60 million release clause, it’s hard to imagine Olise going for £60 million.

Olise's a tidy player but not a winger/forward type, more of a technically-gifted midfielder that plays wide, right?  Or maybe he has the capability to take his end product up a notch.  Certainly impressive when I've seen him play.

That’s a bit of a stretch to say the least. Not all English players are going for ridiculous rates, even though there are examples. Non-English players too are prone to ridiculous transfers.

A very nice chap, David Lynch, and of course someone who worked for the club for a decent stint.  :wave

Oh, I am sure that he is a nice chap, but he likes to open sensitive topics in his tweets ("our hierarhy being worried about Bellingham's wage demands", "difficult talks with Kelleher at the end of next season" etc.) that no one can really confirm or deny, so he builds himself a nice following on Twitter ;)

Yes, he makes too many mistakes for a 19-year-old central defender ...

Kelleher may feel like he’s running to stand still at this stage. There’s a desire to play football. Ideally in the Zooropa league or better.
Lynch likes a damn fine cup of coffee too, apparently.

I think he's a lovely player to watch, he looks really smooth but I'm not sure how productive is (or can be) and whether he'd fit in here under Klopp.

He needs to stay at Palace anyway, get over his injury and perform - I hope he does, he's one of those players who I kind of root for.

Time will tell I suppose. I would have thought he'd definitely have the knowledge to set up a similar infrastructure at another club though.

And now they look set to make a comfortable profit on a player who never kicked a ball for the club. The ECHO understands that both Middlesbrough and Celtic are interested in signing the defender this summer, and while neither have placed bids as yet, both have made contact with Liverpool.

Such interest should not be a surprise, considering Celtic had been poised to sign Davies from Preston before the Reds swooped in back in 2021, while Sheffield United’s interest dated back to Chris Wilder’s time at the club, with the Boro boss particularly keen to bring the 26-year-old to the Riverside Stadium.

Meanwhile, it’s understood Liverpool would be looking for an overall package worth around £4m for Davies, with club insiders pointing to the deals Rangers did with Brighton & Hove Albion and Bologna when signing Connor Goldson and Filip Helander in 2018 and 2019 as a framework for such a fee. However, they are aware, such a package would have to be incentivised to reach such a potential figure rather than it being guaranteed.

As a result, club bosses can consider the signing of Davies, however unorthodox, a success. In truth, the defender himself is the only fall-guy having been left in limbo and unable to achieve what he set out to on Merseyside, yet the experience has still enabled him to train under Klopp while playing alongside the likes of Van Dijk and test himself against the likes of Mohamed Salah in training.

Reds fans might have never witnessed any of this on the pitch but it still gave the defender a platform to improve on, even if he ultimately fell short in making himself a Premier League player rather than a Championship one.

With the likes of Phillips and Rhys Williams likely to follow Billy Koumetio out of the door, either temporarily or on loan, Davies could actually climb the Liverpool pecking order during pre-season with there being a vacancy for a fifth-choice centre-back as a result. Yet it is ultimately one he is unlikely to be interested in.

While a loan exit hasn’t been ruled out at this time, following his temporary switch to Sheffield United, a permanent departure is much more likely with the 26-year-old wanting to sort his future out once and for all.

Olise is a good shout. I forgot that Klopp said that. I wonder how much Palace would want for him?

We should have signed him a year ago when Palace did for £8m (his release clause at Reading). £8m was a steal. I know a couple of mates who are season ticket holders at Reading who raved about him, and said £8m was daylight robbery. We could have loaned him out to a PL club coming off the back of a season where he was the championship young player of the season. He’s a class player who will only get better.

I think that’s easy to say in theory, harder to pull off in practice. Fair enough if it was another big club who snapped him up, but he went to Palace because he knew he could get loads of football at a good level. Telling someone you’ll sign them to immediately loan them out isn’t a particularly compelling proposition for the player IMO. And the club you loan him to has less incentive to develop him properly. Plus we have history for wanting to see young talents take interim steps to prove themselves before making a move.
