Bascially ayre's mouthpiece comments today show he club up as not being able to recognise talent.

the same reasons were given on VVD when apparently LFC looked at him at celtic.

decisions need ot be made on talent with genuine football eyes not by track records

If ayre and edwards (who btw this comes from cos he has not enough to put in a spreadsheet to cough up an answer) had been in charge in the 70s and 80s LFc would never have bought 90% of the players LFC made into top top players.

LFC's best signings were players we saw ability in and guided. souness and rush spring immediatley to mind for example

Its this simple.

Baseball and moneyball works cos you have 100s of games up the chain with stats to work on.. but trying to buy football talent you need to actually know what to look at with your eyes and see it before the stats make it obvious.

What did Ayres mouthpiece say?
 
I reckon its happening cos he will drop dead of a heart attack in a years time.

everyone else has backed off..

so we doubled our offer.

Why anyone would want to call a kid bought for 5mil the next gerrard i dunno.

Like.... ok alli has PROVEN over two years he is the next gerrard but any kid who's just starting out... its a bit unfair.

Nobody called alli at 16 when we could have bought him the next anything but a lot of guys knew he was an exciting talent already.
 
Grujic also looked ok in a sh!t league. From what I've seen of him for us, he is very average.
This Keita bloke has been playing well for a team in 2nd in a top top league.

Scored a great goal in pre season against Barca!
 
We could have bought Keita for a £10m fee and 50k per week last year but we didn't think he was worth it. <doh>

Have to ask if the people who make these decisions actually have a f#cking clue at all!! <yikes>

Same could be said about every player in the world though.
