Eriksen won't go for less than £35-40m and has the likes of Barca, Real, Juventus all lining up for him.
Sterling set to sign a 5-year dealhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20792252I know I'm deluded but I see Eriksen as the solution to all our problems this Summer. Goals from midfield, unlocking defenses:http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/dec/19/christian-eriksen-ajaxYou need to have a quota of world-class talent around to make a youth based approach work, imo.
Hasn't he also previously stated a preference to play in Spain or Italy?We need to find 'the next Eriksen'.

Maybe Luis and Daniel could have a word?
From that same article:"Fees paid to agents have become a hot subject around Anfield, with principle owner John Henry laying down the law in recent weeks following the release of the startling figures.From October 2011 to September 2012 - the last set of published figures - only Manchester City have spent more on agent fees, bringing into stark light the performance under director of football Damien Comolli, who was eventually sacked for such extravagance."Why has Henry only 'laid down the law in recent weeks'? Wasn't he aware of it previously? If so, why wait until the publishing of the figures to do or say something about it? Did he or Werner not sign off on such expenditure, or was it left up to Ayre's discretion? When will Ayre pay the price Comolli did?Ayre can't be excused if Comolli wasn't. Does anybody actually take responsibility for anything at the club anymore?
Talks with Octagon have stalled, not broken down, however, but that comes at a time when FSG is determined to reduce Liverpool's spending on agent fees and to get better value for money in the transfer market than it has done since buying the club in October 2010. The club have given an eye-watering £31.3m to agents since 2008?09, a figure topped only by the billionaire-owned Manchester City (£39m) and Chelsea (£31.8m) in the same period.Recently released figures for 1 October 2011 to 30 September 2012 showed only City spent more than Liverpool in that time, moreover. They topped the agent payments list, and the Premier League in May, with £10,537,982 spent while Liverpool, who finished eighth and sacked Kenny Dalglish as a result, paid agents £8,600,444. Manchester United spent £3,681,580. FSG is determined to harden its negotiating stance with agents, rather than a player's personal terms, and believe Liverpool have been viewed as a soft-touch in recent years.
I prefer Faria Alam, the happy slapper, her.
