Depending where you look Downing scraped in at tenth, Henderson didn't make the top 20 (21st) and Enrique didn't make the top 40 (41st) in crosses for the season prior to signing for us.

 

You've distorted what i said and made it as rudimentary as possible. It wasn't as simple as how many crosses they delivered. It was more complex than that.

Nah we've got offices in london now.

FSG voicemails and out of office emails on.

 

'Sorry John and Tom can't come to the phone right now. They are busy looking at yachts due to the unexpected potential Champions League revenue windfall. If you are an agent we will try and get back to you before 31st August. We cannot guarantee to get back to you before then'

It wouldn't be so bad if this was the only player we need to sign but the tragedy is we need 4 or 5 other decent signings to have any realistic chance of making an impact next season. We are so fucking useless we can't get the first one over the line , Klopp must be having doubts about the way this club operates in the transfer market, This is no new phenomena either

Owners obsessed with resale value and talking about winning but never prepared to pay the money for established talent, I am sick to death of FSG , they don't deserve to own this club and watching the likes of Spurs and before them Man City and Chelsea overtake is hard to take,

They need to show something this summer, cannot believe they will get away with it again.

Comolli loves to talk about players he was monitoring on behalf of clubs. He will always mention those that are currently doing well and portray himself as some sort of football prophet, but he'll neglect to mention the players he rated who have turn out to be absolute shite.

Yep

They shouldn't get away with it, but they will try. Expect lots of positive stories on the website about pitches, stands, training ground, women's football etc soon.

The thing that gets me is, this is supposed to be the most straightforward deal of all our transfer targets. And yet here we are 3 weeks later still trying to haggle a transfer fee with Roma. If this is anything to go by, we're going to seriously struggle to make the signings we need before the transfer window shuts. We'll be lucky if we get two through the door at this rate.

 

I don't like moaning like this by the way, but I have completely lost faith in FSG and their ability to own a club that should be challenging for honours and playing CL football year in, year out. They're going to have to pull off something amazing this window for me to change my opinion on them now.

They won't get away with it again....and even if they try to they will get found out on the park anyway as this squad has no hope of competing on 4 fronts

If the transfer window was closing today I'd agree with you. He'll get the players. Just remains to be seen what players.

This is the thing though. These are the players he wants. FSG have got to make sure they get at the very least a couple of his first choice targets across the line. We've already made right twats of ourselves with the Van Dijk deal, now we're dragging our heals over a deal that is meant to be straightforward. It's not good enough imo.

Who knows what has happened with van dijk but if Southampton were looking 75m for him is it not likely that we aren't prepared to pay that given what klopp said about the ridiculous amount of money paid for pogba?

We pissed Southampton off by mouthing off to the press that he wanted to sign for us before we'd even spoken to them. Thus denying them the auction they wanted. Had we quietly gone to Southampton and submitted a bid once we knew Van Dijk wanted to join us, we'd probably have him by now for somewhere around the 55-60 mill mark. No chance we'll get him for anything less than 70 mill now though imo.

 

Run by utter dickheads we are.

If they want him that bad they'll just have to pay the 10-15m dickhead tax.

Indeed what players.  VVD deal probably took the best part of 6 months to plan and get funding agreed and all we will end up with is a fine from the FA. This Salah deal on the verge of collapse because the owners are nickel and diming the sellers, We need proven quality and that comes at a price and is a sellers market, These cunts need to get to fuck o out of the club if they can't stomach the rules of the game. We are like a shit Arsenal who at least managed top 4 finishes for the last squllion years. Jesus Christ even the Bitters managed to recognise having limp wristed gimps in goal doesn't end well. What have we done about the same problem apparent since Reina lost interest ? Have we ever properly replaced Carra and Sami or have we had a left back since Riise was at his best ? People say we nearly won it with Suarez and had we not leaked over 50 goals that season we would have done , Last season again with no European competition we squeaked home 4th still leaking over 50 goals, Buy some fucking defenders that defend would seem to be sensible move. . Klopp or no Klopp we are losing ground on our rivals and with CL or God forbid Europa we are on a hidng to nothing next season if we don't seriously strengthen this squad

If only we would keep Sakho it would save the trouble of spunking the money on someone half as good and lining the pockets of a couple of greedy cunt agents

That isn't the worst point made....but looks like Klopp has made his mind up on that one

42 goals conceded so we're slowly improving. We never replaced Sami but it took us about 10 years to replace hansen with sami. Maybe we have him in matip. Mignolet is our keeper like it or not.

Or VVD himself or his agent if it was one of them who were stupid enough not to hold their gobs shut.

 

I don't reckon we'll come back for him unless Chelsea and ManC both withdraw ther interest.

70M is too much anyway. 

 

 

When the agony of hurt pride eases off for Soton and they realize they're stuck with a pissed off player who wants to leave them, and they know they could have got 50-60M for him, I can see them crawling back to us. Not if they can sell to Chelsea or ManC though.

 

Most likely VVD is gone for us. Move on.
