Yeah, it's somewhat of a two-layer point. Liverpool fans put their club on too high a pedal stool. Fans of clubs below Liverpool put the club on too low a pedal stool. Liverpool are not attractive enough to compete with the very best clubs for a player's affections. But they are still attractive enough for most.
Apologies if it's already been discussed, but does anyone know if we have a sell-on clause for Chambo? Cortese was involved, so surely he'd have put one in?! Sounds like a move away from Arsenal is very much on this week.
From memory we have a 20% sell on on Chamberlain. Not that that will make much/any difference considering the money flying around nowadays but an extra £4 mil or so always helps
Wimmer to Stoke? How many CBs do they want to sign this summer? Reported price of £15m seems more reasonable that what he was banded about for earlier in the month.
Fonte to return to Palace? http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/under-pressure-crystal-palace-boss-11070233 Well that move went well. Do West Ham even have a scouting system? How many players have they signed/loaned in the past 12 months, only to ship back out?
The answer is probably yes and no. They scout for unknown players such as fernandes But clearly for most of their signings they go off recognisable names and don't even bother to watch them and/or analyse whether they fit their system They could well use football manager for some of their more obscure signings (with Sullivan's son playing). Especially given that on FM17 all of those terrible players they signed last year were made to be significantly better than they actually were
Well, probably not a pay cut for him. Wonder what Jose would do if he could rewind to the day after they won the Euros.
