Havent Liverpool been travelling through China recently chasing the RMB? Thought more about sponsorship but a case of "if the right deal comes along ...".

Would think £700m is a bit underpriced atm given the state of the game at the moment.

But would be interesting if a deal can be done.

Been rumours of even more advanced interest from the Middle East too - on the stadium sponsorship and club ownership front. FSG seem fairly happy with their investment at present though, LFC is growing its revenue base at a rate of knots at present and there's still room for them to increase the value of the club's brand by taking further advantage of our huge following in Asia.

Where there's smoke there's fire and I wouldn't be at all surprised if there was something going on behind the scenes in terms of interested parties, but I doubt we'll know who the real buyers are until a purchase is imminent. There was absolute silence from FSG until a few days before they bought the club back in 2010, while the papers were full of articles about Emirati royalty and mouthy businessmen from China.
 
This guy's words exactly rival my own

Hong Konger here. Just please don't. No, I don't want those ****ers anywhere near my club.

I have been supporting this club since 2001 and LFC is part of my life.

No, I don't want those murderers to own the club I love. The reason why I don't have a grandpa is that they tortured him to death during cultural revolution.

No, I don't want us to be like the Brazil international team which they have to play Chinese league footballer as starter for part of their bribery package. I don't want those ****ing idiots to pick our team base on marketable values.

No, I don't want our Hillsborough justice campaign to be dampened. Two months after Hillsborough, is the June 4th Tiananmen square massacre. Chinese journalists with moral values have been using the new Hillsborough verdict to put a few sly digs to the Chinese government. Media have been using the sentences like "an incident happened in 1989 has finally been vindicated", etc. trying to describe both disasters at one go. Those low life ****ers will definitely censor our Hillsborough justice campaign.

No, I don't want LFC to become a place where they park their bloody corrupt money. Chinese economy has been incredibly weak, with lots of manufacturers moving to South East Asia, they are trying their last ditch efforts to spend their corrupt money before their big downfall. They can behave like a sugar daddy for a while, but you know it's like Viagra, it's just not real, it can't be prolonged.

So a big ****ing no please. FSG and John Henry please hold on tight and don't destroy our club by selling it to those ****ers.

**** off China, you are not welcomed. In fact please eat a dick and die a gruesome death

Good point about the economy. All the money is in the real estate boom and rich businessman moving their money made from it overseas making a killing in investments.

The moment theres a real estate bust or a non football loving govt comes in they're stuffed. And any club owned by them will suffer.

Happy for FSG to bring in sponsorship from China but don't want ownership from China. Leave that shit to clubs like Villa who were desperate.
 
Question to the non United fans - Schmeichel or Buffon?

And in general - Buffon > Kahn?

Buffon. He's done it all apart from win a Euro tournament and did it for a longer period.

Deco said Ronaldinho is better than Messi and Ronaldo. He played with both so he should know. Wonder if he meant Nazario though. I've always thought Ronaldinho is unmatched
I agree with him.

Ronaldinho could do things with a ball that I've never seen anyone else do, ever. The ball control and skill that guy had with the ball bordered on the unbelievable.

Something I was thinking about earlier: would players club teams affect how various players would get on in their international camps? For example, Wilshere has made it well known that he hates Spurs yet he finds himself in his international squad with 5 Spurs players, two of whom in Dier and Kane, have made it known previously that they don't like it when people from other clubs and the media say stuff about their club. Would players be professional enough to just priorities their country over their club or would there be lingering resentment? Similarly, after Dier's assault and battery tackles in the recent game against Chelsea and the apparent words that were said between the sets of players would the relationship between Dier and Cahill be affected in the international camp?

Obviously I'm just using these as examples of my club, but I wonder if it would happen in other international camps, particularly with national teams that have two massive rivals that might be divided by more than just football. Would Celtic and Rangers players have an issue in the Scotland team? Or perhaps Partizan and Red Star in the Serbian camp? Or say members of the Basque and Catalonia regions with other members of the Spain squad (although thats more of a political issue than a football one)?

Apparently when Ryan Mason got seriously injured in the last England squad in which he was selected it was from a tackle from Jack Wilshere in training and if some of the rumours at the time were to be believed it was thought by some that the tackle which injured him was more than just an accident. Have there been any prominent or recent examples of this type of thing?

Ive always wondered this. Particularly for blokes who live and breathe their club. I've always wondered if Gerrard got along with all the Mancs he has played with in the England team. I dont remember him saying there was ever any trouble in his book.

The Spanish camp was divided a few years ago with Real/Barca. Xavi, Casillas, Ramos, Iniesta, Villa etc I think.

Apparently (from what I remember), there was some beef between players, but I believe Del Bosque made sure all of that nonsense was no longer. Of course it was denied by anyone. But I kinda would understand if players had some troubles with each other with rivalry between Madrid and Barca.

Ginola had to be shocked four times with a defibrillator before being airlifted to hospital where he had a quadruple bypass operation that lasted six hours.


"The fact that I am still here, when the clinic told me that nine out of ten people who return after that happens are in the state of a vegetable," he said to French publication L'Equipe


"I must have a lucky star – that must be my mother, from up there – watching over me.


"Maybe people gave me a kick in the a*** and said, "This is not your time". Compared to life, the little things seem insignificant.


'It was a relatively major procedure. But the only question for the medical team was the state of the brain. Generally, when someone goes through something like this, you end up in a rest home.

"I woke up on the operating table with Professor Dreyfus [the surgeon who saved his life] who asked me: "Do you know where you are?"


"He clearly explained to me that if they hadn't done what they did at that moment, maybe I would have woken up with a brain that is no longer supplied by blood - I would have woken up like a vegetable."
