Sadly we have had no offers for your services from The Reds, despite the opening of a special “Sotonian’s Fund Me Page”.
We’re hoping the opening of more rabid threads during The January Window will encourage our membership to dig deep and get you gone for the remainer of the season.
Don’t be like the others and least nail your colours to the mast and say what way, do you think they’ll give it to someone who’s likely to get the boot?
I’ve got to admit, this whole thing about spending before we buy is a bit of a slap in the face. I get the business argument but it doesn’t send out a particularly great message. It’s hard to remain emotionally invested in the club when you are continually reminded it is a business first and foremost.
Let’s just hope that Les buys some Manes rather than Redmonds.
How they go about it I have no idea but I’m pretty sure we need the following:
goalkeeper
centre back
attacking midfielder
target man centre forward
In reality I think we’ll only sign two players.
This is a fairly unique position for the club in so far as previously we have mainly recruited to replace decent outgoing players. However now we find ourselves in a position where we also need to replace underperforming players with no suitors who still have several years left on their contracts (Forster, Tadic, Redmond etc).
Unfortunately I just cannot see the club doing it. It goes against the moneyball mantra.
£75m, so they blinked first. Scared man city were going to out do them and went with a silly offer. Fair play Liverpool. I hope he’s worse than Lovren.
Now the thing i want to know is why announce it now? Only makes things more expensive for us. Maybe Coutinho is off to Barcelona and they need to lift the mood.
All the good that has been done by various people is at risk of coming undone. Evolution has ceased. The present set up is failing.
I’m open to the fact that this will change. It could all change in the next month however I think given the nature of the take over any real change will come in the summer.
"Liverpool Football Club would like to put on record our regret over recent media speculation regarding Southampton Football Club and player transfers between the two clubs.
"We apologise to the owner, board of directors and fans of Southampton for any misunderstanding regarding Virgil van Dijk.
“We respect Southampton’s position and can confirm we have ended any interest in the player.”
Well a few months back I would have been gutted and outraged if he’d gone. After his limp, gutless performances this season, I’m delighted to see him go.
Liverpool have got what they deserved…a big fat 75m question mark.
