Transfers summer 2016

[Kloppite]

This line gets thrown out all the time. Klopp couldn't afford too at Dortmund nor Mainz.

 

Two teams with finances that relegation candidates in the premier league would dwarf this season. So why would the seven richest club on the planet choose not to spend what the club earns when our squad is dismal in certain places?

Fair play you have a point but this is only his 1st summer transfer window.

 

Did Rafa sign any marquee players in his 1season and was Suarez who was outshone by Carrol when they signed a marquee signing?

 

You want marquee signings you are looking at 50 million plus can we affird that when the squad is so poor in areas?

Would you say there success, or the quality of the squad they have, is anywhere near what you'd expect from a club that has spent that much money though?

 

In the context, I don't know, because there are still clubs who spend more than they do.

 

However, it cannot be denied that they have had considerable success after spending lots of money, and the two are probably quite closely linked.

 

It's a bizarre example to use.

Nothing to do with our transfers but £100 million fucking pounds for a camel legged footballer is truly insane

[Cardie]

At some point we'll start talking purely in terms of good and bad players and stop worrying about cost (as an indication of quality) or who qualifies as a 'marquee' player or not.

[J-V]

Sporting reporting we've had another bid for Joao Mario rejected. He's Henderson/Lallana/Milner with more upside. We'd need to bid at least £35M to get him.

 

He's shite

After letting him go for nothing too. It's fucking mad.

As is tv deals worth a 100m to each club.   50 quid for a shit quality jersey, 60 quid for match ticket and 100 quid a month for poxy sky tv.   That's the money that's in the game so you may get used to it.

 

They can easily afford it so why shouldn't they spend it on players, the alternative is banking the money and making their yank owners richer by the minute.

The same Man City who have won the league twice in the last five seasons?

We measure success differently, because I for one wouldn't be happy to win the league in the scrappy shitty uninspiring manner they have.

[RobbieOR]

Yeah, I wouldn't take scoring a goal in the last minute to stop our bitter rivals winning the league to do so ourselves. Must have been shite.

Indeed.

 

The way we lost the title was twice as inspiring and great as the way City won the Premier League that season. It's great to lose the title the way we did. It was also great to sell our best player a month later. Great moments, all thanks to the great American white people who run the franchise and their fantastic recruitment policy.

[Kevin D]

This place is going to the dogs....

Agreed.

[Nightcat]

This place is going to the dogs....

Which is shockingly surprising, considering the franchise's success.

 

So many World Class signings and instead people prefer to moan or laugh at each other.

[Captain]

Yeah, I bet it really sucked ripping the title out of Man Us hands in the 94th minute or something.

[Jairzinho]

Yeah, I bet it really sucked ripping the title out of Man Us hands in the 94th minute or something.

 

Thank fuck it wasn't us.

[Alan Sex]

Come on Klopp, sign us a goalkeeper!

[Karius]

As a matter of course. A good few on here asked for Rafa to be sacked after one season of finishing outside of top 4 afterall.

Finishing 7th in a four team League is grounds for dismissal in anyone's language

[scudger99]

Maths not your strong point either K-mong ?  Another pish WUM attempt, another chance to make yourself look like a tit.

Yea, I was like... WTF. Four? You shitting me? City, Chelsea, Sisterfisters, Arsenal, Spurs, Us... That's just the sides that regularly finish up and around the top.  A few other sides are getting better too... (as well as the rest of the league in overall, as well)

Cute.

[therevivalist]

When at times the specter of Klopp's failure hovers, the first manager that comes to mind is Benitez and can't help but wonder what he could've done with the millions Rodgers had to spend.

 

But Klopp won't fail if only for the virtually blind faith he is showing in his acquisitions. There must be something he knows that we don't. He has set  up himself already by confidently predicting success. Hope he succeeds for his own sake; he's a classy guy.

klopps team now he says. hes kept who he wants and made the additions he needs. although we have no cover at full back and he hasnt signed the midfielder we all think we need.

 

can we stop banging on about it being rodgers team now? he rates more of them than we imagined.

[stringvest]

I disagree. Rafa deserved more time.

 

 

Seriously, you're an idiot if you don't think he went of his own accord. He engineered it for heaven's sake.  And while he was doing it, he effectively sabotaged the season.  

[stringvest]

Indeed.

Our best player wasn't staying, my tartan friend.

What the hell? They offered the job to Klinsmann mid season for fucks sake.

 

In that power struggle between Rafa and H&G, I know who I'd back to have our best interest.
