FFS, you cunts spin everything.

I didn't say ANY forward will do but neither do I believe we're such a special case where only a handful of players could be considered worthy of be added to our forward line.

He doesn't even need to be a striker, someone good that could play on the left or right or both would suffice.

Two weeks since Kane was sold, not a single new signing since then.
You are 100% right.

Obviously, you didnt say ANY forward will do. The other guy is just lying and arguing against something you didnt say so that other trolls can join in say he is right.
 
Another week drifts by and absolutely cock all has happened. So 6 days to sell or loan the best part of 8 or 9 players and ideally buy 3. I dont care what anyone says that does not smack of a well run club.
And apparently we're not getting players in until we get players out, so it's starting to very much look like Richarlison is going to be our main CF until at least January.

Fingers crossed that he scores his PL career max of 13 goals in the first part of the season.
 
Not that I agree with it but....
Sports team players are contracted to club for X amount of years, whereas you are contracted indefinitely
Football players have a high purchase and sale value, you do not
If a player is sacked they may end up playing for a rival team making them better. Chances are if you get sacked you'll end up in a totally different job.

I don't like the situation but that's why it's different to the ordinary man in the street.
It's also why teams seem to tolerate poor behaviour too. You and I would get sacked for the shit players get up to.
That’s a bit of an ad hoc reasoning. There are plenty of job settings where you’re contracted for a specified period, and there are a lot of highly competitive markets where losing an employee means your direct adverse firm gets him. Top solicitors and programmers e.g. or academics. Basically any in-demand high skilled practice.

As to purchase/sale value that’s a pretty bizarre thing to begin with. It treats football players as property not contracted individuals.

I do wonder if a club ever tried terminating a contract on account of performance. I only find examples of gross misconduct but not of a player becoming a fat tub of lard with a season ticket at McDonald’s like Tanguy,
 
Crazy money in the Arab footy league


Al-Ittihad, who are managed by former Spurs and Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo, have offered Liverpool £150million for the superstar.

A five-year contract is on the table, with a near-£100million basic salary, a private jet or unlimited plane tickets for his family and an offer to become an ambassador for tourism and investments in Saudi Arabia - which will further boost the player's pay.

In total the deal would eclipse the £173m salary of Ronaldo at Al-Nassr.

There is also the possibility to have shares of a team in the future, as the Saudi government and League want teams to be owned by private owners mid term.

I hope it happens to weaken Liverpool but I hope it happens more to piss him off!

(Doubt it will though, the player probably feels he has more PL seasons in him and that the option to go there will still be about in 12 months' time).
 
It’s probably a bit late in the window now but If I was Liverpool I would squeeze them for £175 million and take the money
Even if they were to do that, it doesn't mean Salah would go there. If I was him I would not. I'm already rich so money is not a motivator. I'd want to play in the CL and compete for trophies.
 
The problem is squad numbers. Other clubs know how desperate we are to get rid of players so will wait till last minute to make offers to get them. this fucks us up trying to make room for new players.
