FFS jod, this is embarrassing from you...
Because they're about equal in ability and give each other competition
Giroud is the more proven PL performer also, even though he's older and doesn't have much resale value now..
I wonder why
Maybe it's to do with a former Arsenal star who gets 500gazillionthousands a week to do **** all, but they're still persisting with said former Arsenal star in the hope he doesn't become a flop.
Anthony wanted out too by the way this transfer period just gone...yet don't let the facts get in the way of a good story to suit your argument
Because that's their level now at Liverpool, starter at relegation candidates like Stoke and West Brom, or sit on the bench at Liverpool and be depth. They don't want to play in the Championship...
Someone like Ings got sick and tired of sitting on your bench or getting injured himself, now he's getting a proper run at it elsewhere. Sturridge arguably takes up Ings' old role these days seeing that a number of players are now ahead of him and Sturridge is injury prone himself.
Mane and Firmino largely made Origi redundant too, a player who can play outwide or upfront.
Llorente was quality once upon a time but is just depth for us at the twilight of his career. Son can play upfront himself and is very comparable to the greatest striker in the world that is Bobby Firmino who used to be an attacking mid by the way...
Gashsen = Embolo, Gashsen was going ok at Fenerbache on loan before he got injured last season. Some players don't make it in the PL, it happens, but he was a starter for The Netherlands when he arrived for us and people thought he was a good buy at the time.
**** me this is some A grade biased shit dribbling joddy
You know we did buy the likes of Lamela, Dier, Eriksen, Alli, Wanyama, Son, Trippier, Davies, Sanchez etc just before peak age once upon a time and I'm sure we'll do so again in due course once they're moved on and we'll need to invest and replace again...at the moment we are just slowly promoting youf into the squad. We also have started to buy prime age players over the last three years like Alderweireld, Aurier and Lucas and hopefully we continue to do so. I'm quite happy with PSG expendables to be honest, just like how Arsenal and Chelsea were happy with Barcelona and Real Madrid expendables like Ozil, Sanchez, Morata, Pedro etc.
Go through our club thread and find my post on our list of players who played World Cup or were injured at the end of last season and are only just returning to action and you'll find an answer why we may not be performing as well currently...along with the odd mistake from the likes of Vertonghen, Vorm, Trippier, Dier etc and shit in game management from Poch which has cost us the last few weeks.
That being said, our draw opens up a little bit in the league now, we just need to get our flat track bully on and play ourselves back into form in the next month before we start playing 4 London derbies in short succession around late October to early December with Man City also in that timeframe.
Will be interesting to see how Liverpool go with everyone out at AFCON in a few months, is that 3 big cogs out for a period? (I haven't checked who's playing in it)...Gotta hope you have a 10 point lead over Chelsea and City by then to be safe or that Keita, Mane, Salah etc flop and come back to the squad quick enough.
