It's wages with Toby that I would imagine is preventing lots of interest. I'm guessing he's seeking at least parity, probably more than VVD's £180k a week being that it was around this time the problems started (I think). 4 year minimum deal say for a 29 year old isn't very appealing to chairman.
I think what Toby has found is that the £180k VVD is getting paid is not market value. In fact the top wedge around Europe's elite for a CB is between £100-120k, the main outliers being Ramos and Pique. Which is probably why Toby's now willing to come back to the table on our offer rumoured to be £120k.
It's made out like Klopp is some kind of genius getting these players to choose LFC but its mainly them overpaying on fees and wages.
