Dr. Gonzo Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 3 hours ago, Stan said: Liverpool have done pretty damn good in this respect. PL and CL in the last few years despite having a much lower net spend than several others. FSG should back Klopp more, cheap cunts. Quote

As of last season, Liverpool had the second highest wage bill in league, behind only Man City. There will hopefully be new deals for several players whose contracts expire in 2023 which will only increase that spend on wages. If we start losing our best players because they are penny pinching then I think we can criticise. Quote

Danny Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 Shows the difficult task Leicester and Rodgers have, easy to call them bottle jobs without taking into consideration the wage bill issue. 1 Quote
Cicero Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 What are Liverpool's players reportedly on? Quite shocked to hear they are 2nd below City. Quote

Dr. Gonzo Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 1 hour ago, LFCMike said: Wasn't it higher than United's only because of the bonuses for winning the leagues though? I still think we could be spending more to revitalise the squad, especially considering the big exit we've had in the midfield and the issues we had last season. Quote

Yes League and Champions League I think. Who's to say we won't? I don't think it necessarily has to be the big signing everyone is saying is needed but I think we need another midfielder for depth yeah. Making sure they get rid of a few first makes sense though Quote
Rick Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 We need a midfielder and an attacking option. I’m not arsed about big money signings but we need players in who are good enough that the ones we have think “fuck, this guy might take my place” and with Origi, Minamino & Shaq we really don’t have that.

DeadLinesman Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 Imagine United's wage bill if they actually fucking won something….. 1 Quote

I think we have that with Jota and Firmino, but how many players in world football will be making Salah or Mane think 'fuck this guy might take my place'? That's a big money signing. A signing under 21ish makes sense so you can show them a clear pathway to the starting 11 in a few years time when Salah and Mane are on the decline Quote
Dr. Gonzo Posted August 3, 2021 Posted August 3, 2021 48 minutes ago, LFCMike said: That's excellent news. Imo he's our best midfielder - and playing him as an emergency CB was a bit shit because it took a lot out of our midfield imo. But I'm very happy to have his future tied down with us for the near future, because he's an immense player. Quote
Rick Posted August 3, 2021 Posted August 3, 2021 Absolutely delighted. Now get Virj & Mo sorted next. Quote
Administrator Stan Posted August 3, 2021 Administrator Posted August 3, 2021 Alisson set to sign a new deal too. Quote

Dr. Gonzo Posted August 4, 2021 Posted August 4, 2021 Fabinho and Henderson are unlikely to be fit enough by the start of the season. Now Thiago is out of some pre-season matches due to injury. So what are we thinking the midfield looks like against Norwich? Milner, Keita, and Jones? Quote

He'll have played a part in two pre season games by then wouldn't he? Quote

It's something I read on twitter (or reddit, tbh, not sure which one)... so it could be bollocks. Quote

I could be wrong too. I just know the Brazilians were back late last week I think so I suppose there's a chance they may play a part. Henderson was only back this week so he's unlikely to play I think 1 Quote
Rick Posted August 5, 2021 Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) I don’t see how Fabinho can’t be ready for it. He’ll have had 3 weeks back by the time it rolls around, so unless he has a knock you have to expect him to be ready. Watching the friendly v Bologna, bit uneasy with how much this makeshift kit looks like utd Edited August 5, 2021 by Rick Quote
