    So you admit that then using the term selling club was a piss poor wum effort that was blown out of thewater. Good.

    There s more than enough ways to sum lfc and not look silly doing it.

    We didn't sell him though, they activated a buyback clause.

    Oh and the window isn't shut yet....come back to me on Sept 1st ;)

    Not sure how you reached that conclusion, given my comments only came after astro denied that you're a selling club, when you patently are, as every club in the pyramid is.

    A buyback clause is just how big clubs make small clubs prepay the full amount of their loan deal <ok>

    You've talked about pyramids and food chains but haven't backed any of it up

    A better analogy would be Man Utd and Everton in a human centipede

    We paid £4.3m and they bought him back for £10.6m after we'd already ****ed him off on loan for a season.

    You don't do facts do you love <laugh>

    You paid £4.3m in 2015 money

    Koeman's appalling team selection is nothing to do with it

    Barca got him back because sub-£11m for a 23 winger is effectively free in this market

    BTW they also activated him because they can't actually afford Coutinho

    So since you sell to Barca and we don't that puts LFC and Barca at the top and Everton underneath?

    We've had a player taken back on a buyback clause, you've seen them take rock up and take some of your best players off you over the years, and they're circling again at this very moment.

    TBH i don't think Barcelona could afford him without selling. Obviously if Neymar goes then i'd say its written in the stars.

    But if they sell there squad players then we would have to look at cash plus players if we were to consider selling him.

    I think there front three can last till next season and if they don't win anything again then they will have to spend big.
