Nice to have optimistic ownership leading transfer dealings for a change -
rather than Parry flogging him for a packet of chocolate buttons.

I can't see us getting anywhere near £8M for him - though it's nice to aim
high for once.

Liverpool FC put £8m price tag on striker David Ngog

http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-news//tm_headline=liverpool-fc-put-163-8m-price-tag-on-striker-david-ngog%26method=full%26objectid=28775454%26siteid=100252-name_page.html

LIVERPOOL have slapped an £8million price tag on striker David Ngog.
The Reds are prepared to sell the 22-year-old Frenchman who is keen to
secure
regular first team football.
There have been a number of enquiries from clubs across Europe, including
Newcastle United, but there have so far been no bids matching Liverpool's
valuation.
Ngog has scored 19 goals in 94 appearances for the Reds since his
£1.5million
move from Paris St Germain three years ago.
The former France Under-21 international made 18 starts and a further 20
substitute appearances this season but his chances were severely limited
following the Reds' £57.8million swoop for strikers Luis Suarez and Andy
Carroll
in January.
Ngog was handed just two starts under Kenny Dalglish and both of those came
in
the Europa League. Five of his eight goals this term came in Europe.
A fee of £8million would represent a big return on Liverpool's investment
but
they believe it's a fair amount for developing Ngog from an unknown rookie
into
a relatively experienced top flight frontman.
As well as listening to offers for Ngog, Liverpool are set to step up their
pursuit of Aston Villa's Stewart Downing after he shelved contract talks.
The England winger has said he's at "a major crossroads" in his career and
has
no interest in discussing a new deal with Villa.
