It's built on sand. Klopp leaves it and falls to pieces. Directly or indirectly? Want to hedge a bit more? So now the measure of success is being better than 2 guys that nearly buried us? Rafa's net spend under H&G was around 40m. Klopps is around £70m. H&G win the league in 09 are they getting the praise like FSG?

The analogy is getting strained here. Who's on the top of their game that we want to replace?

Anyone that has actually worked in a competitive sales environment knows this is exactly what happens. It's also the Ronnie Moran blueprint.

Interesting to see the slight change in this thread. When I first started posting in it just after the season ended, opposing opinions were far more accusatory. "You just want this, you just want that, you're spoiled, we've just won the league" etc, but now it's far more along the lines of "sort of agree but don't want to read it every day," as though dave's got everyone's eyes stretched open like clockwork orange, forcing everyone to read.

It's just good to see that Bunchy has found himself another gig after ray donovan was cancelled

To be fair, Argentina has a Welsh community.

Jeffrey is getting a little ahead of himself there.

I know we've been conditioned otherwise, but it's not really a lot of money.

Wait till he sees moss side.

I think you're being a touch hypercritical as Sadio at sancho's age wouldn't have been fit to lace sancho's boots. Everyone should stay where they are and avoid the need for these kind of shenanigans, though.

Sancho.

I've no idea, but sharing wit with a comedic genius is never a bad thing, for Billy.

Underpants with a sleeve? Finally something hits the market that will fit me properly.

They've signed Ake, and they're still all in on Koulibaly. I think anyone banking on city being as suspect defensively as last season are in for a bit of a shock once they get their business done.

In the summer that city finally got what was coming to them, they end up with zero punishment and Messi. This fucking sport is cancer.

They've been hiding hundreds of millions over the years, I'm sure they can hide his salary, especially as he's on a free.

Less que un club

Messi wanting out of Barca proves FSG have got it right.

Should get Dave to tap him up from twitter.

Wide of the mark. @StevenKloppLFC is genuine.

He's having to scrimp round investors, so you know exactly who will be paying for their purchase of any club they buy. Add that on to the fact that they'll run an even stricter analytics model than us, and that has H&G loan repayment disaster written all over it.

He's signed for Chelsea, hasn't he?

He has to have a new song though.

You mentioned spending big money on long term solutions when we've already passed on two of those players this summer, and aren't looking to invest big money in anyone. We can't have it all ways; either bargains like this are where we need to shop or we're looking to splash the cash whilst pleading poverty.
