    Correct; they have a final game shootout. However, they MUST win

    No.

    Unfortunately as it happens stuttgart play psg in tjr last game so one of them cannot get more than 11 points as a result so.city only need a win.

    City can get 11 points max but have a better gd than stuttgart so only need thr win to crawl through.

    Scenes if City fail to win lol.

    Even if Zagreb managed some miracle 12-0 reault against Milan, City would overtake Brugge by beating them anyway

    Yeah, brugge have a big incentive to at least draw the game.

    Should at least be made work for it a little.

    The madman bought two defenders while his problem is clearly midfield

    Shame city’s game is at home. Cant see them not winning that.

    We will play one of the winners between 15th v 18th and 16th v 17th

    At the moments that’s Bayern v Celtic and Madrid v juve

    So many teams are 13/12/11 points that it can easily change though.

    The money league is out.

    We have to wait for results to show profit and loss (March 1st) but the numbers given show lfc can afford to pay salah and vvd and trent and still be within 70% of revenue. (Assumes 400k, 250k, 250k)

    Now the reasons why not are down to 1.

    If you beliEve the players want those wages as RUMOURED then lfc simply do not want the players at those wages and are willing to let all 3 go.

    There is simply no world in why lfc cannot afford to pay their superstars those wages in isolation.

    They can argue about wage structure and konate and diaz wanting the same but in the end it boils down to they simply don't want them.

    Absolute nonsense. There is zero indication the club don’t want them to stay.

    Don’t the results show our wage bill went up by £14m as well?

    If you believe the player requests (which is debateable) then what other logical reason can there be?

    The club don't want them at those numbers.

    They might want them at a smaller number but we'd all like to get things cheaper but the world doesn't work like that.

    It's pretty clear they can afford them if they have 7% headroom on a season without any cl football.

    There's definitely no evidence either way, and for all we know it could just be brinkmanship from the club.

    My gut feeling at this point is that Trent is going, and that we're looking into replacing Salah. No idea about the other 3.

    Don’t want them at those figures and don’t want them are two very different things.

    You could twist that and say exactly the same for the players; they don't want to stay, or they want to stay but not at those numbers.

    Being able to afford something doesn't mean you should pay the price either.

    But i clearly said at those numbers

    There's any amount of speculation that contracts are done but not announced so one player doesn't get attention etc etc
    I don't believe any of it.

    The only thing we can see is no deals are done

    This is what you said that Bisc responded to:
    This clearly suggests that the club do not want the players at all, and that the claim about wage structure is an attempt at rationalisation.

    As I again said, if you beleive the numbers that were aksed for.
    bar that totally ignores the premise stated in the same post.

    Sorry but no - if you say "it boils down to they simply don't want them." then that is the conclusion of your reasoning having taken into account everything that went before.
    You should have added "at the price" there if that is what you meant - we can't read your mind, only your words.
    Even so, it's a provocative statement, "they aren't prepared to pay the price necessary to keep them at the club" would be fairer, and more accurate imo.

    the post says the following "If you beliEve the players want those wages as RUMOURED then lfc simply do not want the players at those wages and are willing to let all 3 go."

    the final line says "They can argue about wage structure and konate and diaz wanting the same but in the end it boils down to they simply don't want them"

    I don't think it is unreasonable to expect people to take the first line I as the premise for the point and the last line as merely restating the same premise in an abridged fashion.

    now:

    after the CL draw might be a disaster stuff I have seen thew following points on advantages

    a) seeding is 1/2nd play teams much lower in tbale. yes there is a risk that might be city or real.

    b) We will play every single round we make it through home leg last.

    c) finally we will avoid certain other clubs on the way through due to the seedings as well. For exmaple barca are assured to be on the other side of the draw to us (not sure that one is an advantage as they can't defend)

    Once the draw is made our possible route to the final will be come clear and we will find out of we were lucky or unlucky wit the events of the season.

    Most years It does look to me that those who finsih top have a real advatnage as they progress.
