    I was previously in the "anybody but The Scousers" camp, but if they are foolish enough to piss away £75m on a surly, unprofessional, childish brat then bring it on...more fool them...:):emoticon-0148-yes:

    Disappointed Fats after making a stand then bowing down a few months later........IMO it was now a waste of time as we could have got rid of a bad egg earlier........didn't work out healthy for the team.

    Do you honestly think we will invest the reported £75m? Please be honest!



    No is the answer.

    75mil. Thats a good fee taking into account what we paid for him. Hopefully that gets invested back into the team.

    If it doesn't get invested into the team and we keep Pellegrino as manager, then the "discontent" from the fans at the end of last season will be magnified ten times IMO.

    After what mr Gao has just paid for us......no.
    Lucky if we spend £20m...... happy to be proved wrong but can't see it.

    No I don't. But even if you say that we only reinvest, maybe, 60% of it, well 60% of £75m is still more than 60% of £60m (ie City's bid).

    Not sure how anyone can blame the club for this one. They made a stand and kept virgil but it has not worked out as it did with morgan.now is clearly the right time to sell him,regardless of where he goes.
    Did celtic have a sell on fee ?

    Fine. Whatever the percentage is, it will still be more based on £75m than based on £60m.
