Forget new signings, this place needs new jokes

We should try selling the rights to that hilarious 'imminent/Tuesday' joke to some Chinese club in the summer. They can have Sakho too.

Cruyff turn cunt

Meh.

 

When it was supposedly 150k/week for 4 years, it was an awful deal for LFC.  Now that it's 110k/week for 3 years, with an option for a fourth that I doubt we'll take, it's a slightly poor deal but one that's understandable in the current climate.

 

He'll be worth it this year, maybe next, and then be overpaid for a year.  The option is a good idea, in case he's doing well we can exercise it and then sell him on.  I predict he's here for this year, next season and then in the summer of 2018 or maybe January 2019 he gets moved on at age 30 when we get a half-decent offer (10-15m?) with 18 months left on his deal.

 

Good player, will be really handy next season when I suspect he won't be first choice but will be great depth to have in the squad.  The only question is his aging curve, and that will ultimately determine whether this is a good deal for us or not.

I can't see him not being first choice again next season. Klopp rates him very highly.

[Grinch]

110k isn't too bad. At least shite premier league clubs can afford him if he slips back into the form he's shown for the majority of his time at the club.

I'm indifferent, can't help it.

Same here.

Done well but I just can't my head around the figures paid for run of the mill or above average players in the current game. Its a different game altogether.

So you question Klopp's judgement.

[Shankly]

Where's the lean? Contract should be revoked until he leans on something other than Jurgen.

There it is, it had to be hiding somewhere.

Captain hilarious over here.

Nah I just don't feel that arsed about the deal. Better to secure our best players, but I still don't think our best players are particularly special.

Succinctly summed up.

Very much this, we have now become more that the sum of our parts. Add a few more very good players in and we might actually be consistent. What this team could do with a Macmanaman or Barnes type of player.

[Kevin D]

So you question Klopp's judgement.

Imagine such a thing.

[VladimirIlyich]

So you question Klopp's judgement.

Its more of a business decision to tie a player to a longer term contract. As others have said, we are a team who are much better than the sum of our parts. This also means that we could probably sell any one of a dozen or so players and it wouldnt make a big difference provided our manager replaced them with somebody similar. Sign of a good manager,or a pretty thin squad,however you choose to view it.

[TheHowieLama]

He has a high GI.

[stringvest]

He has a high GI.

 

 

that's a court martialling offence

[TheHowieLama]

Dont ask

He should rarely have low blood sugar then.

Well its Klopp who is securing them. But its interesting that Shankly \ Paisely \ Fagan etc ethos of not needing super star players is now giving way to the idea we need 'special' players.

People need to look back at our title winning sides. All of them could be said to be teams who are much better than the sum of their parts.

Yes. Too fucking right I do.

 

I question everyone's judgement.

 

Why would any manager be given carte blanche to sign absolute dogshit or hand out completely underserved contracts without ever being questioned? (That's not what I've suggested has happened here).

 

I was a big Ged fan at the time but was pissed off we bought Heskey. Pissed off he bought Kewell and then played him on the right on his debut. Pissed off he kept playing Murphy. Pissed off he brought in Litmanan and then didn't use him enough.

 

I was a big Rafa fan at the time but was pissed off he brought in Keane. Pissed off he didn't put Sami in the CL squad. Pissed off he bought Pennant. Pissed off he started Kewell over Hamman in 05.

 

I was a big Kenny fan at the time but was pissed off he bought Carroll. Pissed off he bought Downing. Pissed off he bought Adam. Pissed off he persevered with the 3 of them. Pissed off those 3 shit cunts didn't repay his faith in them and ultimately cost him his job.

 

I'm a massive fan of Klopp. I'm pissed off he didn't strengthen the first team further in the summer. I'm pissed off he didn't strengthen the squad further in the summer. I'm pissed off he didn't strengthen the first team in January. I'm pissed off he didn't strengthen the squad in January. I'm pissed off he doesn't want players or staff touching the 'This is Anfield' sign as they all walk out just before a game.

 

 

What I don't think you can comprehend is you can support the manager and question, disagree and even think some of his decisions are batshit crazy.

 

You try to make out questioning the manager is not okay, is wrong, means your opinion on here is worth less.

 

I'll tell you, accepting anything and everything a manager says and does as gospel, and, never questioning it is exactly why we've gone so fucking long without winning the title.

 

But you carry on with your FSG fanboy agenda and try to make pathetic little jibes.

[LFC 6 Times]

Happy with this, great technical player and an A1 attitude. The lad gives his absolute all every game and the lazy criticism of him being shit in his 2 previous seasons is nonsense, he's scored some lovely goals prior this season, his first for the club against West Brom is a stunner.

[Hades]

Hmm. Decent little player when the team plays well but he's hardly going to win us games when we're playing badly is he? This summer was the right time to sell. 

[Guest]

 

He's really trying to justify his pay rise. Another lean.
