No manager sets a budget, but every manager will have an option to sell to buy, to move money around within the budget.  

And you seriously expect me to believe that Klopp doesn't have final say on transfers, within the budget, going ahead or not?  

Cmon. 

 

The big problem here is that he's spent £250m on attacking players and £40m on defensive players in the past 3 seasons, and even then  we didn't score more than 1 goal in 18 of the 38 games last season.  

 

 

 

I think he gets the say in a footballing sense. I don't think he gets any say in valuing a player. So take lavia for example. He is likely to say "sure buy him". The "club" will say we value him at say 40m. Klopp agrees. If it's more than 40m, we don't sign him and I don't think he has any say at all. It's not his business at that point. When the club fail to sign Lavia because he doesn't have a release.clause, it's back to the drawing board and looking at fucking dewsbury-hall.

So our transfers being done by some off his tits on ket 60 year old

That Ugarte and Gvardiol wouldn’t half have suited us. Both well within reach and we went all mingebag as per

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Only got myself to blame got sucked in believing we’d get Bellingham & when that didn’t happen I thought the owners would spend big on the squad this window. 
We’re about to start the season without a No. 6 & we look wide open in pre season games so far. 
My fault for being a gullible twat. 

 

Same. I was pretty calm and optimistic a few weeks ago. Thought there was no way we'd let Fabinho and Henderson go without having deals in place.

 

No CB, no No 6, and shipping goals by the bucketload in pre-season has suck the optimism out of me right now. Feels like we'll kick the can down the road to January right now.

Livin it large!

Just over a week to go and no new players signed after paying 2 release clauses all summer. He's sitting off by a pool sunbathing with a mobile and a laptop nearby. Fucking great.

I dont think that Schamdtke guys job is actually fun, to be fair. He was never going to have a big say. He is probably just there to do the menial stuff because its not like Klopp or Mike Gordon, or any of the high ranking scouts want to do that sort of thing.

A mate who has a mate (I know, I know) who works at the training ground reckons we’re actively negotiating with 7 different clubs to buy 2 midfielders and a CB. The clubs all wanted more money once news about the Saudi deals started breaking, hence the delays. That’s as good as some Twitter report I reckon.

I dunno, Klopp is box-office, he doesn't have to work under those conditions and he certainly doesn't need to keep quiet about it if he did. 

Take Lavia for example, he knows he's not 'worth' £50m, we all know that, so why pursue it?  He could tell them to stop bidding and move on.  He could have done that 2 weeks ago.  It's risk/reward isn't it.  He encouraged bidding to continue because we might get them to budge on a low £40m offer, but he did so knowing that Southampton might hold out and leave him dangerously short of DM options just a week before the season starts.  That just wasn't worth the risk.

Chelsea have jettisoned 11 first team players and added 5 

 

Net Spend = -80 mil I think.

 

Their window is hinging on Caicedo.

It’s becoming a shit show is what it is.

With that said, it is clear that he seems to get on well enough with the owners on a personal level.

 

When you realise your wife, and even your business partner, are besotted. And it’s not with you.

By 'we', does he mean Chelsea? They are like Watford a few years ago, signing a new player every fucking day. I wonder what the Chelsea forum Daisy's moan about.

Our equation of value in regards to Lavia is nonsense. If you look at what he's done in his career, bidding 41m for him would already seem excessive, but that's not why you're bidding that for him. You're bidding that because presumably you think he'll be a top player. 

 

Honestly, Lavia might be worth more than 50m in this market. I said it at the beginning of this terrible saga; it's similar to Colwill. Do you have the stones to make what looks like an overpay now for a really talented young player? Colwill signed an extension so he's off the table, but if you don't have the stones, just fuck off. 

 

Which is why I'm hoping this is simply us waiting for a top player to become available and not us being pussies about the fee.
