Joe won’t come cheap
Posted Tuesday, August 07, 2012 by The Sun
MICHAEL LAUDRUP has told Liverpool: Cough up £15million or forget signing Joe Allen.
Kop boss Brendan Rodgers is keen to be reunited with Swansea midfield ace Allen and has had a £12.5m bid knocked back already.
But the Welsh club will not let Allen rejoin his former manager on the cheap. Swansea chief Laudrup said: “Joe is worth a lot of money.
“Their manager knows if he wants to change the way Liverpool play he needs a midfielder like Joe who is young and can play at the highest level.
“We saw they bought a couple of midfielders in the last few years for a lot of money but Joe is on a level above.
“If one is worth £17m then he is worth more, perhaps £20m or so.”
