Does anyone know how to cancel an order on E-bay? I put a £5.00 bid on a cowboy outfit and now I am only a couple of hours away from owning Everton!

{Ed0333's Note - that’s pretty funny chum. In fact it’s a lot funny.

Disgracefully overpriced.

A new era for Arsenal. Looks like they were trying to prove a point re losing Sanchez and Everton felt the brunt.


3.) 03 Feb 2018 22:11:40
No matter how talented a player, sometimes teams are better off without egotistical pricks who think everything revolves around them. I think other Arsenal players will step up without the moaning, sulking sod. I still don’t think they’ll make top 4 though, as Wenger is stuck in a time warp.


4.) 04 Feb 2018 02:31:53
Arsenal look very dangerous attacking And awful defensively, reminds me of another team I know.
Also I'd point out with Ramsey in the side they look differently gravy. Don't rate all them Ewobi's and Elenis or whoever they are when he's injured.


5.) 04 Feb 2018 04:29:56
One good game and it's a new era? Arsenal is classically inconsistent, capable of thrashing Everton and then losing to just about the following week. I can't see that changing until they resolve the Wenger situation.


6.) 04 Feb 2018 05:09:10
Lets not forget that Everton were awful, let's wait and see how Arsenal play against Spurs next week - having said that i still think they've improved.

Liverpools average spend on transfers since FSG took over £ 27.65 million. Waro I am starting to agree with you.

Chum 30

1.) 29 Jan 2018 21:34:00
Yeah 28 million is such a low amount.


2.) 29 Jan 2018 21:39:00
So the only way the owners are successful to you is if they spend more than they earn? You know our previous owners got us in a lot of debt by that model. You need to stop worrying about net spend and how much we buy/ sell players for. we should be worrying about the quality of player coming in, and that the owners are backing our managers. We now know they are backing Klopp based on the players we've signed and slowly but surely our transfers in are becoming better quality.
If you found out a relative ran a business and spent more money they they earnt just to keep people happy you would call them a fool.


3.) 29 Jan 2018 21:47:06
They've spent £75m this window alone. Stupid thing to say.


4.) 29 Jan 2018 21:52:42
When FSG took over the club was operating at a loss of £1m a week and our record transfer was £23m, we hadn't won a trophy in 5 years, Roy Hodgson was our budget manager and Joe Cole was a marquee signing.

Fast forward 8 years and they've spent close to £800m on transfers, increased the stadium capacity by about 10,000, won a League cup, reduced debts to a manageable amount, and got us into a position where we are so competitive financially we can spend £75m on a single centre back and make him one of the top 10 earners in the league.

If you can't appreciate what they have done, you're deluded. Sure, they've made mistakes. The Suarez debacle, appointing Rodgers, appointing Comolli, raising ticket prices when it wasn't necessary etc.

By and large, they've been fantastic owners and they have given Dalglish £120m, Rodgers £320m and Klopp £320m. If we can't win silverware, it is nothing to do with a lack of financing and the blame lies at the managers who have spent a fortune and achieved nothing with serious backing. Klopp was a manager every club in the world wanted so you can't blame them for appointing him either.

I don't get the hatred aimed at them at all. Maybe some people miss signing Poulsen, Jovanovic, Konchesky and Cole? Maybe some people wanted the club to go into liquidation and we could be AFC Liverpool, owned by the ironically named SOS?

Well said MK.


6.) 29 Jan 2018 22:22:37
I am all for our American owners, but I wish that they were more into the football that we play, and taking away buying VVD, as it is a very recent buy, we have spent virtual nothing on our back four and Keeper, hence why we are so easy to score against,
and yes, when we play our very best eleven, we do have a decent team,
but once we start to rest players and change Keepers, we concede .


7.) 29 Jan 2018 22:32:49
Well said mk great post.


8.) 29 Jan 2018 22:48:05
You's do know that the owners don't buy any of the players. Pretty sure klopp does that. It's just the club's and their money. Time and time again it has been said the money is there if the right players are. As much as we all know we need a keeper and possibly another cb to play beside that 75 million one. We already have 3 keepers. 2 of which I imagine are on high wages. Just like 2 cbs who were starters 3 weeks ago. Not only does the right have to be there, then available, then persuaded to come to Liverpool instead of barca, Madrid, Munich, PSG, City. etc but we also need to sell the unwanted players we have. Or should we bring in Allison/ Oblak/ Leno and just let karius and migs sit and take 2 big paychecks home every week. Cause unfortunately we can't force teams to pay what we want or them to move to a lower club and take a paycut when we decide.


9.) 29 Jan 2018 23:56:49
MK Scouser, I agree with your sentiment, but I do find it difficult to point the fingers of blame on three managers (I am ignoring poor old Roy) for lack of success and completely excuse the owners. They have to share the blame, if anything they hired these managers and sacked them . Given the manager post to Kenny then sacked him after delivering 2 finals and a cup (our last silverware and the only one under FSG) .

They do spend the money no doubt about that, but don't you think there is something wrong with our transfer (purchase) policy. A lot of this money was wasted on players that have come and gone without making an impact and for a lot less than their purchase price. 34 players were bought by Rodgers, 12 only remain (Out of which are Sturridge, Markovic and Origi who are now on loan) and of the 22 that moved on, only Coutinho was sold for more than his purchase price.
I fear Klopp is heading towards similar statistics, obviously we can only write about it in a couple of years time, but so far 14 bought by Klopp and only around 8 what we can call regular first teamers.


10.) 30 Jan 2018 00:05:26
Well said MK. I for one am thankful to FSG for still giving me a club to support. It could have been so different.


11.) 30 Jan 2018 00:14:48
Why do people think every position has to be a £50 million player. get over it.

Baz.


12.) 30 Jan 2018 08:39:19
I don’t agree with the Rodgers comment, that guy made mistakes and by all accounts he perhaps let things go to his head. However, he’s the manager who’s come closest to ending our league title drought. Yes, he had some terrific players but Despite the arm chair managers on here I don’t think any of us would have achieved the same with the players. Isn’t there some sort of saying associated with our club, what is it now? Ah yes, you’ll never walk alone.


13.) 30 Jan 2018 08:43:49
Disagree on Rodgers. He inherited a really poor squad, albeit with Suarez and Gerrard, and within 2 years took us to almost winning the league he deserves some credit. Add to the fact he wasn’t allowed to sign the likes of VVD and Alli and signed Couts and Sturridge he wasn’t all bad.

Suppose there were also poor signings, but that 13/ 14 season we played some seriously unreal football. If only VAR was in back then we would have won the league imo. Defeat at City and Chelsea with terrible decisions against us!


14.) 30 Jan 2018 08:52:07
The fact that we have such a low net is as much down to how much people have paid for our players as it is anything else. I mean we sold Ibe and Smith to Bournmouth for a combined £21m one window. We also lost very little on a number of players that should have been worth much less when we sold them than when we bough them like Benteke, Aspas, Borini and Sakho. It's massively swayed how our figures look to make it seem like we jhavent invested - we have, but we've also got premium prices for players that probably didn't justify them. And of course, selling three players bought for a combined £40m for over 5 times that amount also skews it slightly.


15.) 30 Jan 2018 11:10:52
i’m not sure you mean "average spend". if the average is 27mil then that 2+ seasons ago would have been a high amount.
If you mean net spend, leave it lol.


 

 

28 Jan 2018 12:27:00
I read a lot of anger this morning and these words stuck in my mind " The bottom line is Liverpool have sold their best player and not replaced him. How Klopp thinks his squad is adequate for the rest of the season is beyond comprehension. He needs to get busy in the next 3 days in the transfer window " Two points on that are ( No 1) Salah has been our best player this season so far in my opinion. (No 2) If Klopp goes buying now it surely will be a panic buy which the majority of us want to avoid. I am as angry as anyone by the manner of the last two defeats but we will just have to get on with it and support the team because what's done is done.

Spot on, Chum. It is the same low hanging fruit nonsense that we keep hearing as if Cou being there would have made our players want it more or made Can play better or made Wiji be a ghost in midfield or prevented the calamity of mistakes that led to all 3 goals. I've stopped paying attention to such illogical comments as it is just par for the course for those who are not interested in engaging in any form of deep analysis of the situation.


2.) 28 Jan 2018 20:33:40
Bang on chum.

On the plus side barring injuries that is the last time we will see Mignolet in a Liverpool shirt.

{Ed002's Note - What about the Champions League games?}


1.) 27 Jan 2018 22:59:56
What about the under 23's?


2.) 27 Jan 2018 23:02:05
Are you serious? I thought he was keeping Karius for them. Ah well it was a good thought for all of the hour and a half it lasted. lol.


3.) 27 Jan 2018 23:10:18
It would seem that Migs is now our cup keeper, that being the Champions League.


4.) 27 Jan 2018 23:20:37
Should never wear the shirt again in my opinion.


5.) 28 Jan 2018 01:00:33
Cup keeper?

More like mug keeper, lol.


6.) 28 Jan 2018 08:28:08
Yer to give Karius a rest because being goal keeper is so tiring we need rotation for rotation sake.
