The BigFooty Liverpool Army

[The Punter]

With salaries, I think it becomes more of a thing about the players comparing themselves. $150k per week for Coutinho but $170k per week for Draxler? How does Coutinho feel about that.

With transfers I think it is more about the club not wanting to pay overs.

 

[jod23]

I dont even rate Draxler that highly. Im not fussed about him going to PSG.

 

[Fwoy]

Pretty f'n cool

 

[gaskin]

I saw that earlier. It is amazing.

 

[jod23]

That's ******* epic. I want that room!

Looks like we're moving the first team to Kirkby

 

[gaskin]

Yeah they announced that yesterday. It's supposedly not until the 2019/2020 season though. Klopp wants the youth teams and 1st team in the same complex.

It's a great move IMO.

 

[gaskin]

Apparently the Lallana deal could be done today. 3 years at 110k per week with the option to extend according to the Echo.

110k sounds a lot better. 150k was just way too much.

 

[jod23]

Yep 110K is a far better deal. Happy with that.

This is why he had to send Sakho to London.

 

[craigos]

What are people suppose to rage about now if Lallana isn't getting 150k a week? Dis is bullshits mane.

 

[Dylan8]

My umbrage with the rumoured Lallana deal was all about the length not the wage

 

[ADL9798]

Easy to see why Klopp likes him. Looks like a pacier version of Lallana.

Speaking of, pleased we get another few years of watching this guy in a red shirt.



I think people are now starting to realize that with the way the market has gone over the last 10 years (particularly for English players, which given the FA's rules on homegrown players, every club needs), £25m was a fair price for an extremely hard working and (despite opinion to the contrary!) very talented footballer. He's definitely taken his game up a notch under Klopp and we're now seeing the PFA POTY nominee we bought from Southampton in the first place.

25m in this climate is a pack of chips, feels like transfers fees have taken another quantum leap since we signed him.

Really big fan of Lallana and have been since his Southampton days. So easy on the eye and I'm happy for him that it's all come together. I think everyone always knew he was talented, ADL, but his end product was the issue for the detractors. Probably fair enough too.

 

[jod23]

I like Brandt but we need pace. Lot's more pace. We basically need another Mane to put on the other side.

 

[Joker91]

Claudio Ranieri sacked. Still a massive chance to make the final 8 of the champions league, strange timing, must have lost the players.

Let's hope they don't fire up against us Tuesday morning!

 

[Zidane98]

110k sounds a lot better. 150k was just way too much.

ITK sources never said his new deal was going to be anywhere near that much.

110k sounds about right. Probably 90k / week plus up to 20k / week in bonuses.

 

[Cooldude]

They just have to sack him right before our match, bloody hell

 

[craigos]

Disgraceful regardless, here is a guy that within a few years turned this club from a yo-yo team into a world wide poster child. If he lost the players then they've quite clearly let the title go to their head. You can't tell me one player was the difference between there success or not and if so they shouldn't be worse than mid table.

An increased budget should have aided them as well but I have a feeling that was pocketed,

 

[jod23]

Annoying that they've done it right before our game. But we just have to push that aside and play our best. We should be winning this regardless!!

 

[BlueBen]

I know it has been asked in here before, but what are some of the better Liverpool-related (and soccer/football, in general) accounts that people follow?

Thanks guys.

Thanks guys.

These are some of the LFC journos/sites I follow that are generally pretty good if you're after the latest news etc.
