The Happy Rumour Mill (Takeover bids, transfer talks etc) Part 2

[aiyic]

Fernando Morientes retires - according to the offal. Can we persuade him to change his mind?

[Randy Marsh]

So let me get this straight .

 

We have been in desperate need for a striker to cover/partner Torres for the past 12 months, Arguably the most important position we need to fill in the team, and WE LEAVE IT TILL THE LAST FUCKING DAY............................................................. Unbelievable.

 

You know what mate, the fuckin shit thing is that it isn't unbelievable at all. I'd have been more surprised had we of actually sorted a striker out.

OUT

 

Dossena

Voronin

Insua

Aquilani

Plessis

Dalle Valle

Kacaniclic

Cavalieri

Benayoun

Riera

Nemeth

Mihaylov

San Jose

 

£42.65m

 

IN

 

Shelvey

Jovanovic

Cole

Wilson

Meireles

Konchesky

Jones

Poulsen

Maxi

 

£25.5m

 

 

These figures have been researched from LFCHISTORY.NET, so are as accurate as possible.

 

That means that in 2010 the club will have made a profit of around £17.15m

 

The club will also have undoubtedly made more money by cutting the wage bill as the squad numbers have fell

 

So, to summarise...

 

Roy supposedly had £15m + player sales to spend this summer, which begs the question...

 

 

WHERE IS THE OTHER 30 ODD MILLION?? WHAT FUCKIN BULLSHIT ARE YOU GOING TO FEED US NOW? IT'S ALL THERE IN BLACK AND WHITE!! WE ARE BEING ASSET STRIPPED

 

This neatly summarises my feelings this evening.

[Arl arse]

I usually dont mind getting fucked, but these bastards don't even have the good manners to use Vasseline!

[Jarvinja Ilnow]

I'm just giving sense about the matter. Combined, they're probably getting paid more than Mascherano. We don't know anything about things behind the scenes, so it's difficult to say. Agents fee's are supposedly the biggest problem facing impending transfers according to a number of Premier League managers.

Sorry, where's Mascherano there?

[Randy Marsh]

Sorry, where's Mascherano there?

 

Mascherano's fee has been included, I've stupidly forgot to type his name in the list. Any mods able to edit it please?

[Dirk]

We sold Mascherano for anywhere between 18 and 22m. We made a profit on both transfers and wages.

So I'll ask again, by which distorted logic did we spend 12m plus player sales that the manager was promised?

I'm not quite sure at this stage whether you are playing word games to appear clever or you are actually trying to justify the actions and misinformation of this regime. Which is it?

 

Mascherano went for approximately £20 million, Benayoun went for £6 million, Riera for £4 million, Cavalieri went for £1.5 million. We've sold, loaned or released 19 players of varying quality and importance which will have reduced the wage bill considerably.

Done.

[Randy Marsh]

Done.

 

Nice one Dirk mate.

[Hazel Motes]

Done.

 

Rep him while you are at it. That list can't be posted to may times. It's a disgrace how this club and the fans are being handled!

[Torvald Utne]

Next Summer is going to be BIG!

[paddyberger15]

Next Summer is going to be BIG!

 

Yep, we should be down to 15 players on our books by August next Year.

[Torvald Utne]

2026: DONE DEAL: Liverpool have completed the transfer of Damien Plessis to Greek outfit Panathinaikos for an undisclosed fee.

[Hazel Motes]

The whole difference is those lost £20 millions. If we had bought for instance Llorente it would have been a good window short and long term. Less wages, plenty of options this season.

Fucking hell, I didn't reckon on him being here another 16 years.

[RobbieOR]

Konchesky was a player swap. That makes it even more unacceptable. We are being bummed up the arse HARD. This football club is well and truely fucked.

[Moschops II]

Oh well, at least we don't need to worry about our oversized squad anymore.

 

Or ever winning anything again.

I fear weve become a modern day tottenham. Never challenge for the title but might have a good cup run

exactly - proper role reversal

[Tepid water]

Only for a bit though

[lamai]

Unless some players apart from the usual suspects step up to the mark this year then we are really fcuked.

[KaiSerSoZEi]

Where is Jordy Brouwer? Promote him to the senior squad. He's the striker we need.

[redfromtubebar]

How was Torres persuaded to stay?
