    ah right - sorry misunderstood.
    Couldnt agree more the prices are sheer lunacy & seriously i struggle to get my head round them. Half decent players are £30m+ <yikes>
    i regularly sound like my old man ,much to my horror, when i start ranting on about "back in my day"

    It's madness. I remember when the media were guffawing at us spending £7m on then-championship striker Jay Rodriguez. Now Leeds want £20m for Chris Wood. It's really really bad and I do hope that it caves in.

    As an aside, good work on the John Martyn references. In my top five albums.

    unfortunately i'm old enough to remember us selling Keegan for £500k and replacing him with Dalglish for £440k. These days that might be their weekly wage rather than transfer fee.<yikes>

    And we bought Keegan for 400k and sold him for 100k.

    These prices were set in his contract when he left Liverpool for Hamburg and again when he left them to come to us.

    I blame Brian Clough and Trevor "I've got a cold" Francis.

    it all felt a bit more "real" back then , if more dangerous as a supporter, & i don't think that is just nostalgia.

    I said this to a Liverpool supporting work colleague after he was moaning about the Coutinho thing. His reply was "yeah but we aren't Southampton"

    I think its hilarious, big boys of liverpool getting their best player snatched away.

    I know a few actual scousers who go to games and I can respect them. The " scouse fans"that annoy me are from dorset, hampshire or surrey say that have never been to a game in their life , but still give it the old " best team of the 80's" or " Anfield has best atmosphere in the universe". They only know what they hear or read online ... I'm gonna have stop here as im getting annoyed thinking about it <laugh>
