I don't think he's bad at all- just that somebody like WHam will be willing to meet those demands, and we probably won't.

Should be keeping Cuti and signing Guehi.
Sign Eze and Semenyo, esp if Mbuemo off to Utd.
Get a decent No.6, absolutely essential.
Let Richy, Son and Biss go, only if Son wants out, might still be another yr in him if minutes managed correctly and not playing with chalk on his boots.
Would upgrade Vic too if the opportunity presented itself.
Personally I would let Davies go and sign another left ch / left full back.
That's the bare minimum required, no more excuses of having no money, we can't be brainwashed by Levys economics, if he is stuck for money then sell one of his hotels to himself like Chelsea did with their women's team and car parks, no more excuses.

People go on like it's chicken/egg, but are inventing a perspective of Liverpool that doesn't exist.
- They don't have the big wage bill of City, Woolwich, Man Utd, or Man City.
- They didn't "spend big" to win the league.
- They didn't give their new manager players for a rebuild last summer, and only added one injury-prone midfielder who barely played
- They don't buy big established "world class" players, but rather take calculated gambles
- They got to the end of the season with the contracts of their 3 biggest players running out. One of their best players just left with a token transfer fee, but was effectively about to be out of contract. They've just put two 33 year old players on huge contracts.
We probably could sign a £100m+ player if we won the league or the CL, but there's clearly just nuances separating Liverpool from this club, and it isn't anything to do with ownership - they just have been more successful with their gambles so far.
It is still far from certain whether or not that move will pay off for them - they still don't have a replacement for TAA yet, and have no succession plan for VVD or Salah. There's no obvious sign how Allison/Marmadashvilli will work. A lot of flaws in their strategy so far, in paying so much money in the area that isn't obviously where they needed to.
People will say that they are being clever doing business early, but they're now at the mercy of other clubs for the players they now need to shift (e.g. Nunez)
Untrue. Liverpool are always operating at close to the line of what they can afford. They dont have unlimited money, so they do say no. But they also back their manager and spend what they can afford.
We dont spend what we can afford. We spend what Levy allows. We could easily add another 75m to our wage bill and still be well run.

"We dont spend what we can afford. We spend what Levy allows."
Surely you can see how mental that juxtaposition is? Why have we been in the red and net spent £500m+ in the last 4 seasons if the first statement is so different? It is almost double Liverpool's net spend, with CL money and two PL titles in that time
or more likely, he always preferred liverpool and just flirted with us to drive up his wages
I don't think he meant this season
Accounts that post that much and isn't a verified journalist are almost always con artists.
He was asked about Kulusevski and said “He is having pain killing injections in his knee and is a major doubt but not 100% ruled out (yet)” he could very well of been told that information and the club later decided he’s not going to make it and needs surgery.. he gave injury updates on numerous players last season before the club did as well, pretty crazy to meThat was 2 years ago mate, he also said Kulusevski was getting painkilling injections to play the Europa League final when less than a day later the club put out a picture of him having had surgery
People think he could have broken that many stories without having a source but anyway it’s not that important to have a long back and fourth about tbh.
He had an injury source but pads it out with stuff he makes up to remain an 'ITK'. He's not that reliable anymore unfortunately.
If you had to choose between Eze and Simons to play LW and 10, who would you choose?
And get Wharton while you're at it !
if we add eze and palhinha we are instantly much better. throw in kwp and i think we're good for next year even with a couple of exits
First, I contribute a lot more on here than you do, so stay in your lane & show some manners, kid.Wow - I thought you were just a troll, but you also know appeaer to fuck all about football. You don't rate Udogie or Romero?
Also, I was a professional player for years then a coach with UEFA qualifications. Football's been my life ever since I was 3 or 4 years old and I'm now 50ish so you do the maths.
Did I say I didn't rate Romero & Udogie? No, so maybe you learn how to read & interpret properly before you act the troll. I just don't rate them as highly as you do, and that's you who's got a problem with that. I ain't even gonna explain why I don't blow smoke up their arses the way you do cause you obviously ain't got the beans for it. If we don't think the way you do, we're trolls...gotcha.
Another classic. Your masters on here will be proud.
Can't stand the heat, get out the kitchen.
I'll call him world class and a top pro when he completes two full seasons for us, we don't finish 17th with 22 league defeats and don't concede 60+ goals two seasons in a row.
Would explain the smell
Interested to know how he knows this. If it’s from his spurs contact then surely it means we are dialogue with palace for him at a minimum?
Don't forget the naming rights fiasco
It’s fucking irritating. All it does is push the thread off on a tangent. Thankfully most people ignore it as they have more than one brain cell and know the Twitter account is a bullshitter.
