That's some mental gymnastics right there.
It’s admirable how much you hate one of our own players.
He'll get all those yellows and more to make up for it if he comes here........
This is 'so far' including the £200m or so this summer:
Man City leapfrog Liverpool in net spend table with January splurge
Forget the league table, it's all about the Premier League net spend table. And neither Man City nor Liverpool are in top five.

I thought he was just being a Tit
Every European game at our stadium is worth a shedload more in matchday income than one at Anfield, that's where the difference comes.You think that Liverpool winning the PL and playing in the CL knckouts last season is going to narrow considerably compared to our 17th place and Europa League money?
This season gone, they had got £175m in PL prize money alone, plus over £80m from the CL, which is £110m more than us with £125m ish PL money plus £20m or so from the Europa
They'll still be ahead of us in the next figures, but it should narrow.
As much as I have neurodiversity, I get so confused about how some of the brains work on here.
The point is that we don't hear about moves until they happen. So, to try to 'unravel' what you think is such an impressive thought process:
- Did we bid £60m for MGW?
- Did we hear anything about it before it happened?
No, they make more than us

The deal was on, then it was put on hold as reported by Ornstein and Romano, who are as good as they get. Since then most reputable sources are reporting it is complicated but likely to happen.
But no one has reported it's off. The only ones reporting it's off are forum posters who are good at melting and reading tea leaves.
The player has requested the move; not the club.

Man City leapfrog Liverpool in net spend table with January splurge
Forget the league table, it's all about the Premier League net spend table. And neither Man City nor Liverpool are in top five.
Net spend on teenagers and prospects on low wages isn’t the same as net spend on Florian Wirtz and god knows who else they want to sign now.
We have nothing solid to suggest we have bid for MGW
Which has absolutely nothing to do with the point I was making.
Liverpool have been saving their pocket money and are spending it like a trolley dash.
And, at the end of it, they'll still have no replacement for VVD or Salah, I expect. Let's keep our powder dry to see how that experiment goes before praising it.
Ornstein and Romano either got it wrong or they were bullshitting like every other transfer journalist
Niether club nor the player or his agent have provided even half a quote to back up the claim
that this deal has ever been anything other than bullshit
So Marinakis got the lawyers in the back of Paul O'Keefe's gossip did he?
That's not what the Deloitte figures say.No, they make more than us

And I don't want to be a check your sources guy, but
We're losing the forest for the trees here though.
We can sign Alexander Isak. We could have signed Florian Wirtz. Maybe couldn't have done both, certainly can't sign 11 of those guys, but the club's strategy has conspicuously avoided going anywhere near the maximum of what is possible for a marquee individual acquisition with our financial capacity.
So Marinakis got the lawyers in the back of Paul O'Keefe's gossip did he?
We don’t have anything solid to back up the claim that he got the lawyers in either.
There’s no complaint to the PL that’s 100% sure and niether forest nor spurs or CAA have confirmed any legal activity at all
It’s all complete bollox at this point
It’s exactly about the point you making because the total cost of a transfer isn’t just the transfer fee. Wages and agents fees also need to be accounted for. Liverpools total spending on their squad has been a lot more than ours for the last how many years
