How many players have we lost due to price? We told Norwich to fuck off, I can't think of many others. We met Lyons price for Fekir and they are notorious for getting every last penny, we literally over paid on Keita, Werner was a buyout we were happy to meet. Alisson, Fabinho and Ox were relatively quick and painless, Shaqiri and Minamino were both buyout clauses. 

 

I'm certain Thiago will be done, a bit of jostling over a couple of a mill is no harm.

Werner? We didn't meet the buyout otherwise he would be here. 

 

Lemar? Salah first time around? Texiera? Willian? We even haggled over Suarez as i recall, took bloody ages.

 

And before you say 'well look how they turned out' doesn't mean jack. Under Jurgen they could have been something.

 

Anyway nothing wrong with haggling its just that you do risk pissing people off.

No way Edwards goes over £19 for that jumper.

Our transfer policy has changed a few times over the years, I'm not talking about anything pre-Klopp. How many examples has there been of deals failing because we couldn't agree a price? I'm not accepting Werner because we didn't try and sign him once Covid happened. We were 100% going to pay his release clause.

Mate if you are talking FSG you have to take in the tenure. You can't pick and choose. They have been consistent with their low balling, sell to buy and generally find a bargain ethos throughout.

 

Basically they've only ever done the minimum they can get away with.

Ah yes, we decided against signing Werner because of the change in wind direction. Nothing to do with Finances.

Man, to think, this is the kind of window most Liverpool fans would have been more than happy with. And it would have been so achievable.

 

In (total 84m)

- Tsimikas - 12m

- Thiago - 27m

- Werner - 45m

 

Could have done it all up front, and the owners could have accepted the financial risk in that we might not recoup every penny but it'd be fine because we've turned profits for the last two years running. Then let Edwards spend the rest of the summer selling our cast offs and probably raising at least 50-90m.

And a lower net spend by the end of the window than most of the league.

Aye. But as i said pal they are protecting their profit first, even though I'm sure we could have recouped later.

 

Anyway, pass the sick bucket.

Absolutely would even have taken Gini signing a new contract than Thiago coming in . Either would have suited me .

They're clearing the decks! Are they getting fees? 

€10.5m for Rackitic, just announced today. Think Vidals transfer hasn't gone through yet.

I can pick and choose and I will. Being new to the sport they tried different approaches with Camolli and than a momeyball approach. They failed and wasted precious resources doing so but it's irrelevant to Thiago or this window in general.

 

Since Klopp has come in how many players have we lost out to over haggling over a couple of million?

Staggering to think this window is open til what, about 7 October! Going to be well pissed off with it all by the time it does close!

I think barring a bad injury to a key player that we will do whatever business we do (or don't do) in the next couple of weeks and then shut up shop and crack on.

I hope so. All this fucking bickering is doing my head in. People said it would stop when we started winning things but it's getting worse if anything.

Thats because we were lead to believe by the owners over the years, we wouldn't have money problems once we reached the promised land of top 4 and beyond!

I dont recall them saying we wouldnt have money problems when the rest of the world was experiencing them or that we'd be immune from financial realities.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Grujic should be kept or sold no more loans. I like the lad, give him a go Jurgen.

Incomings I agree.

 

Outgoings I think they will use the whole window.
