Cue the "he isn't worth 70k" posts. He's a German international and features regularly in our first team, OF COURSE he's worth 70K per week in todays market.
Only at Liverpool do we as fans worry about overpaying players, that's the result of the conditioning which the successive carpetbagger owners have bred.
You don't hear Arsenal fans saying "Mertersaker ain't worth 100K a week, he ain't in the team" or Manc fans saying the same about Luke Shaw (even though in both cases it's probably true). No, all THEY worry about is whether or not they're winning trophies.
Us on the other hand, "sell Sturridge, he's on 120K a week and he's not in the team", or "sell Can he isn't worth 70K a week".
It's simple, if Jürgen wants Can (and I've no idea if he does) then he's worth 70K a week. If not, sell him and sure as sweet f*** someone else will pay him it.
