7 and 6 in the prem from 20 games.
It's decent but not 100m decent.

They're also scarily relentless.
I can't get my head around it. But they all go on my ignore list, as they're not people I want to have anything to do with.
They're as bas as flat earthers.
Thing is, if you break the structure because the player you want is outside it, nobody in the fan base can argue that you went hard as a club and showed ambition.
That's just the reality of elite-level football now. Maybe we can do a Napoli but the club wants to build towards sustained success. Like it or not those clubs are almost exclusively amongst the biggest spenders for transfer fees and wages.
And to be honest why would you want to enter a bidding war for a player? It's nonsensical if all it's going to do is push the price up, way above what the club value them at.
Imagine us, with one more “decent” player like him…In all comps.

Nunez is a famtastic player. All the right attributes. If we had him instead of Richarlison (who is doing better) or Johnson (who hopefully) just needs time, we would likely be top at present.
People who don't rate Nunez don't really know their football or are too biased to accept the facts.
Imagine us, with one more “decent” player like him…
He’s erratic, but seems to have calmed with no Salah being around, no coincidence (like Ronaldo at Utd) Liverpools play was way too often “where’s Salah”.
If you want them badly enough and you are extremely confident they help you win things.
I don't see how anyone can be sure Nusa is that player but then again, history is full of C. Ronaldo type stories where scouts or managers have had that level of conviction for a player and it's worked out. we clearly didn't have that conviction for Nusa. Let's see.
Unfortunately, Tanguy was probably the last player we paid more than we wanted for and it didn't work out well at all.
A club being interested is one thing, actually making an offer and getting involved with bidding is a completely different matter.Milan, Napoli and Man Utd were all linked with Dragusin....
The notion we got some free run at him is quite frankly ludicrous.
And if you're not willing to accept Dragusin as an example. I'll throw our other January signing Werner in there, who Man Utd were also after.
Not enough? We can go back to the summer where Newcastle were after Maddison?
It's just lazy posting by a member of this forum who hasn't got a clue and will just make up scenarios and nonsense in his head and use this forum as a platform to spout it.
The reason we didn't get Nusa wasn't because we didn't have a free run at him. We didn't get Nusa because we either deemed it was too expensive to spend 30m+ on an unproven teenager or we couldn't offer him the game time we wanted.
Of course not but those same fans don't want to know when the transfer doesn't work out we cannot simply just write them off and lose money on them unlike the money teams. This is the problem fans want things one way but won't accept what could happen if said transfer doesn't work ala Ndombele.
One is. The other might be having a say if the seances are working...He's really rocking the '70s porn star look...
No wonder the Dildo Brothers were interested! (Are they still even in charge?)
What happened to him wanting to see out the last 6 months with Club Brugge?I don't think the Nusa one is money, and I'm not convinced it was down to game time either.
I don't think we moved quick enough, we didn't see a "rival" bid coming and before we knew it, we lost a target.
LOL
Just LOL.
He has 7 goals and 6 assists in 20 Prem games. That doesn't get you top. Maddison and our CB's staying fit might have.
What’s the major change in transfer policy? Genuine question? What are we doing now that we have never done before in the ENIC regime?You have to wonder though, how long can the hardcore anti-Levy protagonists, given the very obvious major change in transfer policy in the last couple of years, carry on attacking the regime... See, we can both do that.![]()
A lot of people saying we should sell Richarlison in the summer as under performing :

Liverpool obviously haven't looked at Richarlison's 7 goals and 3 assists this season - or cannot do simple sums ......
Well tbf, the signing of Dragusin stands up to his original post/theory in most respects?
We moved for Dragusin because he was available at a very affordable price and at the time, there was no one else in for him.
Bayern came in at quite literally the eleventh hour and, thankfully, Dragusin appears a very honourable individual who had given his word to us, and stuck to it.
But had he had a character of say Mr Willian for arguments sakes, I have absolutely no doubt we would have lost him to Bayern.
The dillying, dallying and posturing we did for a 25 million deal in a position of absolutely desperate need was risky to say the very least, and could so so easily have cost us.
A club being interested is one thing, actually making an offer and getting involved with bidding is a completely different matter.
Not saying you’re entirely wrong, just saying completely dismissing the original posters theory and putting it down to “made up scenarios” and “nonsense” is certainly not correct either.
Fair enough we are yet to see full details of the FA’s case, but UEFA literally brought them to the highest judicial sporting court in the land, who found that there was no evidence to support the vast majority of UEFA’s charges.
What more could Uefa have done?
