But to make your transfer strategy about top players asking to leave before they've peaked is a strategy for losers like Southampton and Salzburg.

I think that's harsh, for clubs Salzburg and before them teams like Villareal and Sevilla it's a perfectly valid strategy and allows them to survive and improve.

The entire basis of your theory is that FSG would have done whatever they wanted irrespective of the wishes of Klopp and the player involved, and for those reasons, I'm not buying it.

Not sure where you got that theory from 'cos I never said FSG would sell someone without Klopp's blessings.

I'm not entirely sure most people who commented on money ball and Liverpool's supposed use of it understood what money ball was.

I believe 'moneyball' focused more on stats in its original form to garner the best value for money players in Rounders? I still think there are still elements of this in their football dealings but with some different parameters thrown in.

It is the strategy of about 90% of all clubs in world football. Has nothing to do with being a "winner" - it is reality.

Yeah, the interpretation in football (not by clubs) has been boiled down to 'buy low sell high' and spreadsheets instead of scouting.

He needs to tighten that watch strap.

Love Sadio me.  I have no beef with him, not even the "good news" comments.  We have no idea what goes on behind closed doors really, I'd like to think he leaves with everyone's blessing perhaps knowing that him moving on meant we could make the Nunez signing.  So in that respect it would be good news all round, much as I'd rather he was staying.

Seems to be some kind of trend or fashion that. I would annoy the hell out of me and why I wear a cheap digital ten pound watch.

[LFC 6 Times]

Can’t help the feeling that we’re significantly weaker going into next season.

 

Horrendous seeing him in a different kit.

[Reckoner]

Hopefully someone else will step up to the plate and give the ball away and miss sitters for 2 years before incredibly returning to form when a contract is up for negotiation.

I think he's going to be a huge hit for Bayern and score bags namely because it's a one team league and they win 5-0 every game but no doubt we'll receive plenty of criticism for letting him leave. In this logic and in contrast I think Lewandowski will struggle to replicate to his number of goals if he end up in Barcelona. 

[Preston Red]

Sadio = Adios.

 

Loved the guy and I'm sorry to see him leave. I hope he wins loads over there but not the CL.

I'm going for less than 15

I can respect that. Personally, I'm a Casio G-Shock man, like Hank from Breaking Bad.

They dropped more points than we did from four few games this season.

Yeah it's sad he's gone but he can get to fuck with this load of shite:

 

"It's one of the biggest clubs in the world and the team is always fighting for every title. So for me it was a very good idea and the right decision to come here."

 

Bigger than Liverpool?  Get to fuck mate. 

[gkmacca]

"I'm with a very, very competitive team now." Has he hit his head? Daft twat.

[3 Stacks]

Lol at turning on Mané of all people for a couple of harmless quotes.

[TheHowieLama]

He's gone, get over it.
