Your interjection implies as much. Otherwise, wdf?



I'm not. Just highlighting double standards.

Contrary to any suggestions of cabals and group think, I was simply focussed on the footy-derived part of a discussion i was already part of..... If you think i should instead focus on the cunt-off element, i shall politely dissagree.

So I will take your lack of condemnation as you saying that because you dislike me and disagree with my opinions on football you can't drop your ego for long enough to condemn him for telling me to kill myself either that or you don't disagree with him but don't want to say it yourself because you don't want to be binned.

Because that's what I am getting from your constant dodging of the matter, you certainly seem to be going to a lot of effort to avoid saying "what he said was wrong" because you have had plenty of opportunities to do so.
 
Actually I strongly agree with most of your opinions. I think the most important thing is to spend and build on a very talented but exhausted team with a weak bench. This is solely down to Levy. It's sink or swim time. We just made it to the top four with a poor draw against Everton and we threw away many easy points. We still made it but we won't do it again because the teams snapping at our heels will be strengthening their squads and we'll be left behind.

I agree with you, I can certainly see that scenario playing out if we are inactive in the market again, this is why I am getting so passionate this window, it feels like make or break time for us, more so than any other window.
 
Do what Liverpool did and spend another 150m ? \

:kanehand:
Every year for ten years until we finally win something.....this is what makes me laugh when people say they spent wisely.

They spent huge amounts on crap and underachieved for 8 seasons.
Then in the 9th season they win something and their policy was brilliant.

Quite interesting that their stand out players were a couple of full backs that cost 9M combined Henderson and Milner.
 

Liverpool have spent over a billion since 2010 and won one trophy and finished top 4 three times.
300M of it across 2018.

Would you be happy with this model between now and 2028 for us to finally win something?

Not really comparable, Liverpool prior to Klopp where not in the correct position. With Klopp they had a manager capable of getting success by maximising the team overall performance. United could spend a billion this window and achieve fuck all because they don’t have the right set up. It’s about having the right set up and the right players in combination.

We have Pochettino, give him a few extra special players and enough time and he will probably win something. So yes money is a factor and Poch it seems wants to bring in some top quality players like Ndombele and Lo Celso.
 


Feel like Trippier would rack up the assists at Juve. Less defensive responsibility and a slower game will give him more time to deliver his crosses



Imagine Tripper playing in the same team as Ronaldo?

...and now you are hitting on the actual double standard that exists and not the fictitious one AF was projecting. If you criticize the club, its actions (or perceived inaction), the players or anything tangentially associated with any of those then you deserve whatever you get for melting...or so goes the belief/actions of a certain group of posters. He won't rebuke CG because he is one of his jack-booted thread thugs that goes around projecting his self-hatred and spewing his bile on all and sundry. Chastising him will hurt the esprit de corps. Amirite AF?
 
The previous transfer record was set with considerably lower income stream (I think). If Levy does not up the ante this time around with 100 million CL money, and stadium revenue due to increase greatly, he will lose many of us, as well as Pochetino. Crossroads is exactly right.
I will try this again.... HE (Levy!) will lose many of us. I will always support spurs, but I have been a supporter of Levy too. And, if Levy loses Poch, that is a problem.

Liverpool under Klopp spent 382M in 4 years on 20 players .

Money is of course a factor, but money wasn’t why we lost the CL final. It was Pochs decisions.

So he can spend 120M on Ndombele if he wants but he needs to learn how how to drop Dele, Kane and Eriksen for some games if we are ever going to win anything.
Spend what you want, but poor management decisions cost us every season.

I agree that Poch made some errors IMO but money was the reason we entered that game with the squad options we did. But yes, Poch could have played a bad hand better.

So he can spend 120M on Ndombele is he wants but he needs to learn how how to drop Dele, Kane and Eriksen if we are ever going to win anything.
You will get no arguments from me. The day I see one of them dropped will be a good day as that means we have options AND he recognizes these players can't be automatic starters all the time. He does need squad options that he trusts though.

Jeez Sammy have you been talking to the Hood lately? Not trying to diminish your point as I think he (Hood) makes a good one as well but he just does it incessantly.

Yeah but Salah, Mane and Firmino cost a combined 100 mill and all 3 have contributed to where they are right now

Yes their spending was erratic and largely wasteful until a few years ago when they seemed to have really sorted out their scouting and analysis and now they make very few mistakes

Agree regarding Poch
