Obviously you decided to ignore the lure of CL football William speaks of. And likely Sanchez and Mkhitaryan.

 

If its simply a question of offering more money to all players, then half the footballers in the world should be on Tyneside!

 

 

What fiction? These are facts. We offered more money for Sanchez and Mkhitaryan then Arsenal and Dortmund did. They chose those clubs because they had proven winners at the helm and because we've had many poor league finishes.

 

Your post has more "fiction" than mine considering you said I blamed Ayre when I haven't mentionned him.

 

 

It's another load of excuses from Rodgers, though. It doesn't take into consideration that top established talents didn't want to sniff us. I agree with his last point but he's basically insinuating that we were only trying to buy young prospects. I would argue the club definitely tried to strike the balance he is talking about.

 

We failed to sign Alexis Sanchez despite the fact we had almost won the league the season prior and we were offering a higher fee/wages than Arsenal. Before that, we'd tried to sign Diego Costa, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Willian, all top talents, all in the prime of their careers, and all for big money.

 

We didn't lowball anybody in any of these deals. The fact is, we tried hard to sign these players but none of them wanted to come play for a relative nobody like Rodgers and for a club that has consistently finished around 7th place.

 

I mentionned twice that part of the reason they didn't join was because we'd had poor league positions. Read the posts.

Perhaps you should take your own medicine.
