Transfer discussion thread

[Frank Bunn]

Neco Williams the latest. Absolute dogshit.

He had a good game in the WC qualifier v Ukraine. But mostly he's a shit version of TAA.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Didn't they * over Hull as well when they bought Robertson?

Danny Ward to Leicester for 12mill is another. Hoever for 9. Benteke for 27, Sakho for 25. Outrageous

Ward's a decent keeper in fairness.

This also isn't unique to Liverpool, Chelsea sell off a lot of players for decent fees, and even City have started doing it.

We'll find out how decent he is because he's probably Leicesters #1 now

He definitely is.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

He definitely is.

The Glazers would love Rodgers as manager.

 

[Bradesmaen]

He definitely is.

Played more games for Wales than Leicester since he joined.

Ok

Yep. Can't believe how quickly that time's gone.

Maybe bring back Drinkwater for old times sake. Think of the revenue generated by Rebekah Vardy selling exclusives about him to the tabloids!

We need a swear catchphrase jar on here.
Moomba to be broke in no time after his 3264th PMSL of the month.

She's down about £3m from that ordeal so Jamie Vardy has pretty much pissed a years worth of earnings up the wall on that.

They have a handful of youth playing but their best players are bought in for plenty of money just like the other big clubs.

Salah, Alisson, Van Dijk, Robertson, Nunez, Henderson, Firmino etc.

No one will ever convince me they don't like spending like the rest of them.

They're able to afford it because they're good at fleecing other clubs when they sell their off cuts.

Weird set of players to mention for big money though. Salah was a bargain at 35 million. Robbo was bought for 7-8 million. Hendo was brought in for just 16 million and Bobby was only around 30 million IIRC.

Should have gone with Jota, Diaz, Keita instead.

We do spend money but not nearly as much as I'd like as we are the absolute net spend champions. It's pretty frustrating. We fleece clubs for the likes of Solanke, Ibe, Smith, Brewster etc which pays for these excellent players but then where is just the transfer budget money to really go ham on!?

I digress, we do spend money, we're just bloody smart about it. No Harry Maguires around here.

 

[jod23]

Yeah sold us Kevin Stewart for 5m or something. Meaning net we only got about 2m for Robertson.

How did old Kev go? Absolutely bog average player. He was like the modern day Jay Spearing.

He was ok, was one of our best for a while but more a comment on the rest of our squad. No clue where he is these days, Luton I think?

The odd one is Jonjo Shelvey. Young England international who played in big games and was decent without being great. You got £5m for him versus the fees you got for the abovementioned. You would have got £40m today if Edwards was still around.

 

[moomba]

as we are the absolute net spend champions.

Former, we're the champs (in waiting) now.

And

 

[RossFC]

He definitely is.

I recall he did alright at Huddersfield on loan a few years back, but I still think Leicester should have brought another keeper in.

 

[jod23]

I dont think Chelsea do anywhere near as well. They have taken masses L's on the likes of Morata, Lukaku, Bakayoko, Batshuayi, Kepa, Werner, not to mention selling Mo Salah for 12 million and De Bruyne for around 17 million. They did however fleece Real Madrid for Hazard so they havent been all losses.

City havent faired much better either.

 

[jod23]

Yeah the type to do a job at the level Hull were at when he signed but never a player to push you on. Thanks again for Robbo though.

We sold Jonjo I believe before Edwards got here though. So back when we were terribly run.

Furthermore

Liverpool net spend higher than Man City since 2020 but let's pretend they invented selling

Liverpool invented selling players to buy more players...even though Manchester City have recently done it better.

Indeed, since the summer of 2020 – after adding the signings of Erling Haaland and Darwin Nunez – the net spends of Manchester City and Liverpool are practically identical, with the Reds actually spending around £8m more. Indeed, only Leeds have a higher net spend in the whole Premier League.

We've sold Jesus and Sterling since.

So nerrr.

So you guys spend the best part of a decade spunking billions to the point where you can now comfortably buy and sell.

But yeah sure, you're the net spend champions
