of course - a pizza of the action !Slice was that an intended pun
It doesn’t make what he said any less true though does it
People moaning about liverpool wankfest are focusing on the wrong thing.
It's more like, why the fuck aren't we run like that?
Their squad building makes sense, and they show ambition.
We are constantly shopping in and around the 25 - 40 mill range as that is what Levy sees as best value.
We should be all over the likes of Guehi and Eze this summer. I bet we sign neither.

Exactly.
Some people just can't abide a single word of criticism aimed at our ownership model and have to resort to petty insults and absurd accusations as a last line of defence.
It's pretty desperate stuff tbh
This begs the question who has let this happen?
Could we have not tried develop some of our club trained players. Is abbot not club trained. I’d rather have him than pay silly wages for KWP who will know is not gonna hack it if we are serious title winning / CL winning club which levy says we want to be.
They are annoyingly well run. See a problem. Fix it. Move onto next problem. Win trophies.
True but at least fans think we are going for top le el experienced players. Not counting one season wonder Solanke in that as we over paid on him.
We’ve had a string of managers who were managing for themselves and their jobs and not for the long term, in my opinion
When we sacked Poch and went into this mode of “get someone else in who will win something this year with this 11” it seems player development fell by the wayside in this frantic quest to win one of anything.
Those managers and that philosophy might be right if the squad is there but ours never has been
It's not so much about wanting a change but the rumours are that Richarliason will be sold this window and he will need replacing if he goes. Darwin is a viable alternative if we could get at the right price. He was wasteful last season but gets into the right places so often he could go quite well.
Lange Law: we are all fretting about whether we sign Semenyo, Mbueno, Eze or Kudos and the club announce the signing of Mitoma.
I would be very happy with Mitoma by the way.

Let them have him.
70mil will buy you someone better in Europe.
He isn't coming to Spurs.
Henry is just moving money around.
Don't be fooled.
ESPN:
The Giants acquired three-time All-Star Rafael Devers from the Red Sox on Sunday in a stunning trade that sent a player Boston once considered a franchise cornerstone to a San Francisco team needing an offensive infusion.
Boston received left-handed starter Kyle Harrison, right-hander Jordan Hicks, outfield prospect James Tibbs III and Rookie League right-hander Jose Bello.
The Giants will cover the remainder of Devers' contract, which runs through 2033 and will pay him more than $250 million, sources told ESPN.
Hopefully Frank can incorporate Donley and Devine into the squad this season. Both super impressive in their loan spells and can cover numerous positions. Keely should have been our second keeper but somehow Kinsky arrived.
From what I’ve seen of Devine, he’s sharp and bright and has far more chance of making it as a 6 than Archie bloody Gray
I think with Moore in and around the 1st team, this is EXACTLY the route we're going down...
Bemoaning the fact we don't have any club trained first teamers, whilst at the same time complaining we're not signing any high profile first team players is effectively the same problem at opposite ends of the recruitment scale....
We can and SHOULD be doing BOTH.... but for a while there, we weren't really doing EITHER!
The most 'Murrican paragraph ever!
