What is ambition in your eyes? Was signing Lamela, Chadli, Paulinho, Eriksen, Soldado, Capoue and Chiriches last summer ambitious? Is all that negated by buying one or two solid PL players?Talk about a lack of ambition....

If Lovren is out of our price range (and if they are asking for £20m he probably, correctly, is) who do we go for? Especially if Pochettino prefers somebody who has PL experience?
Somebody from a lower club. Shawcross? Reid? Vlaar?
See if we can nab somebody from a club in our region of the table who might be available. Nastasic? Agger? Evans?
Or maybe somebody who has played in the PL at some stage and then has gone abroad. Mustafi? Savic?
Not a huge number of appealing options, really and all would have question marks beside them.
I agree - Shawcross isn't good enough.I could not have Shawcross at Spurs
Neither was david Bentley or Darren bentNot a £16m footballer
Shawcross is a good defender actually. Very.Talk about a lack of ambition....

It's a percentage of transfer fee they give upyeah i think they lose like a loyalty bonus if they hand in a request
Definitely Nastasic for me, even if it was an initial loan it would be worth doing.If Lovren is out of our price range (and if they are asking for £20m he probably, correctly, is) who do we go for? Especially if Pochettino prefers somebody who has PL experience?

Of course he does. Lovren can easily say no to Liverpool.

or Manolas at Olympiakos
He's decent, but he gets carded so damn easily. Has about a .2-.25 card per game ratio, but it seems like more since I swear just about every game I've watched him play he's gotten a card.
He's a nasty bruiser though, and would add a bit of mentality and grit when shit hits the fan if I'm honest. Can't say I'd be opposed, despite how much more I'd prefer Lovren.
We would start him from when he was 18 and he was one of the best, definitely top 3, left backs in Greece (only after Cholevas i would say).
Not nearly as effective a ball-winner as you might think, and his passing is very poor.
He might not reject them, but that wasnt the point. He could reject them though. Anyway? He apparently wants to play for Poch so if he truly does, he'd reject Liverpool.Why would he though?
