LVG signing mate. Also involved loaning Nani to Sporting for a season while paying most of his wages too if I recall correctly.
Because fans know how football works and know there's only a limited amount of money their team is going to spend. Thus is the club vastly overpays for a player, and it leaves less money as a result to improve the team, they have to watch their side be a bit shitter than they otherwise could be.
This is why fans care about money, because it directly impacts the quality of the team, not because they care about the books.
Not a difficult concept to grasp, to be honest.
Nobody. It's bollocks.
As a fellow American who has followed Pulisic closely I agree that he's pretty overrated. He's a nice, solid player but the way so many fans of PL clubs are desperate to sign him is way over the top. He's not near top class yet and certainly not a £70m player (in terms of ability, marketing maybe so).
Half of those players haven't even played a season for us yet. Bit harsh to expect them to have won something for us already.
Out of interest, how many more seasons of attractive football and big spending would you tolerate of Klopp without winning anything?
Spoke to some of my colleagues who are Liverpool fans and they were hopeful for the new season but said they would probably want a new manager if it was another trophyless year.
Whatever he is on, shipping him out for the reported 16 to 20m range would be good business.
Depends how close we get and what the alternatives are.
Yeah dude thanks I know he is a LVG signing but was not aware he was on 160k (if true).
You dont have any idea what the club can and cant do though. So whats the point in worrying.
Imo the real pressure for Klopp only gonna come with us winning the league otherwise I can’t see your fans making too much of the fuss if you’re playing well and ranging from 2-4th place while we’re struggling.
Fans are driven by emotions and seeing us lift the trophy again would make their patience much thinner.
Fans have no idea how much money is there to be spent, which is a rather large hole in your theory.
This, if we paid 200m for Harry Kane of course that means other areas in need of improvement would be overlooked.
Getting Zlatan in meant we could get PP.
Shocked that some of you don't understand something so simple
Poch must be loving this after all the promises he received from Levy to do the business early during the contract renewal talks.
That Madrid offer surely looks like a distant memory for him at this stage.
It's a very difficult concept, honestly, to grasp unless these individuals:
1. Understand all the financial aspects of the club and therefore have any idea whatsoever regarding expenditure capability
2. Have some objective empirical measure of a players value
3. Have any business, football or financial expertise
4. Did not see actual football as Fifa or Champ Manager
5. Didn't think that displaying horror/hilarity at prices paid for players, or made up by some twitter imbecile, counts as discussion on a football forum
Do you apply the same logic to sales, so if someone offers £1m for Darmian and Rojo we should just let them go?
Or how the deals are structured.
If the club is about to 'do a Leeds', then fair enough, start worrying. Otherwise, the only relevant thing for us is whether or not the player is good enough. If yes, great, get him in. If not, steer clear, regardless of how "cheap" he supposedly is.
Well "we", as fans, aren't going to be doing anything. If the club thinks the best deal they can get for Darmian is £1m, and that's the only way to get him out the door, then I don't see why we fans should have any problem with it, given that the player isn't near good enough or worth keeping around.
As it happens, I imagine he'll go for about fifteen times that amount.
Which is fine, but then when the board say there's no money for the next 'must have' signing in January (for example) because we didn't get what we wanted on sales (or overpaid on purchases) the fans would have to accept it.
This
Thats so so funny. Gets me every time.
It's true though, Mourinho only signs giants like Fred and Alexis Sanchez.
Can't really imagine the club actually saying that!
Very true.
I couldn't care less what the club does, they are far more knowledgeable and qualified to look after there finances than I am.
#conspiracy
I wouldn't we rather do any other way. We cannot waste time one transfer at a time if it doesn't works out.
They were told to feck off, so they’re now running the story that we didn’t want him anyways.
Terrible, as Isco is not on the same planet as Hazard
if that means getting rid of their wages why not? we could end up getting more for them but with a deal that we pat their current wages till the end of their contract with us. which could be worse financially
Suspect they baulked at the fee Chelsea wanted which is fair enough. The day and age of Madrid getting exactly what they want is gone.
He must be bored out of his mind if he thinks a club negotiating with more than one player at a time is fascinating.
How does this plonker "know" that Maguire believes his United bound?
Exactly. Links to an article that gives no quotes and just speculates
