Which other player in our team is in contention for the ballon d'or? Not a single fucking one, so how does it disrupt your wage structure? there is no equivalence between salah and anybody in our team, including virgil. Furthermore, we've just got everybody to sign a new fucking deal, it's not like we're at the risk of any of our big players from running down their contract soon. If you can't pay Mo Salah what he deserves, then it signals that LFC is not a destination for the world's elite players. As soon as you become elite, you become a bit too rich for our taste, so you can fuck off and win honors elsewhere, I guess.

Guarantee that's what's going to come in for Origi. Loan with option to buy. We'll reject it because we can't replace him in time and instead keep him so he can not get picked for any game ever.

Something feels weird about this and last window though. Even for these tight cunts this is ridiculous amount of inactivity, and the news about edwards only adds fuel to the fire that there's something up. I wonder if they really pinned their hats on the ESL.

It will at least be 1-2 months, it's a hamstring injury. They will delay the announcement until after the window closes, 100%. How fucking long does it take to do a scan nowadays?

Yeah I dont think that is right mate. We have definitely made a profit this window and thats before mentioning shaq. I will find source for what I posted earlier again, but pretty sure we are bottom of net spend.

If they don't sign an attacker before the end of the window, especially now that Bobby will be out for at least a month (perhaps more if its a bad hammy injury) AND the fact that he was shite before getting injured, then there needs to be protests. I'm sure some fannies will take offense to that very suggestion but the owners won't give a fuck unless we actually start being vocal, and we can't rely on shill journos or pals at the anfield wrap to do that for us.

As things stand, every single club in the PL has outspent us this summer.

False equivalence, turning a profit should always be a goal but not a limiting factor. I don't think Chelsea fans give a flying fuck if their club makes a loss or a profit as long as the on-the-field needs are met. There's obviously a sense of reason within that viewpoint (e.g. ideally I'd want us to buy a midfielder and an attacker, but I understand that would be difficult due to finances), but that only stretches so far. The question is, do you want our club to be competitive or not? If the answer is yes then we need to be more demanding in what we expect our owners to do for us. We're boxing with oil barrens, we're never going to be able to match them pound-for-penny but we certainly need to have owners who are willing to invest the bare fucking minimum to allow us to compete.

Agreed, I see him as the replacement for Sturridge (that came about 2 years late). We signed Jota with the assumption that Shaqiri and Origi were going to be of use. Shaqiri has gone and Origi has obviously not been in Klopps plans since 2019. We were lucky the former was useful last year (he is normally blighted by injuries, but played a handful of games) and the latter is so shite that we can't get rid of him. We've needed another attacker (in addition to Jota) since 2019, but the drop off for Bobby and Mane last year means its absolutely the minimum requirement for 2021. If we wait a year we are basically writing off large parts of this season, again.

People will guffaw at the idea but the fanbase need to start being vocal about these stingy yank cunts leading us down a path to nowhere. Sustainable investment is the bare minimum for any owner, i have no idea why people have accepted this 'sell to buy' model as the panacea of ownership. Nobody is asking for 100m positive net spends every season, but zero investment is a fucking joke when they're sitting on an asset that his multiplied 10x in value since they bought it.

We've been told we've been waiting for the 'right attacker' for 5 transfer windows now. It's absolute bollocks. We've needed to buy one since Sturridge left. Origi contributed during the CL/PL winning years but he barely played - we relied on the front 3 being fit and on form for nearly every game, and they were. So the whole narrative of waiting for the right man can fuck right off. As can the incessant BS articles from the well linked journos saying we're looking at Mbappe, Sancho, Haaland esque signings 'next summer'.

No, it's meant to highlight how fucking dumb of a point it is to allude to there not being a viable attacker out there we can buy. We are not buying a 5th choice forward, I wish people would stop fucking saying this. Bobby has been shite for 2 years, Mane for 1.5 years, we are buying a first team attacker. Problem is that Klopp has about 15m to do this with, which is why he says there is "nobody available". Yes I fucking do know it, Klopp isn't soft, he doesn't think there is "nobody you can buy on the transfer market" who has Ox's dynamism. He says a ton of stuff which we all know is bollocks but has a purpose.

Naby Keita’s agent (@MalickKebe8): “It’s really hard for me to understand Klopp, you have to be him to put Naby Keita on the bench right now in his form. Your super coach is solely responsible for this draw against Chelsea.”

For people asking for realistic targets, I'd go and see if we could get Raphina. Think we could tempt Leeds with a 50m plus add-ons offer, he plays across the front line and would give us a ton of options.
