Did anyone spot this yesterday? Based on research from ESPN and Bath Uni. The top sporting cities ranked in order Liverpool Manchester London Leeds Sheffield Glasgow Newcastle Brighton Cardiff Edinburgh Birmingham Leicester Reading Nottingham Hull Southampton Derby Bath Portsmouth Exeter Norwich Milton Keynes Bristol Sunderland Northampton Bolton Doncaster Swansea Oxford Gloucester Dundee Plymouth Blackburn Bradford Aberdeen Wigan Barnsley Preston Coventry Stoke-on-Trent Peterborough Belfast Bournemouth Luton York Middlesbrough Swindon Ipswich Blackpool Cheer up, you miserable twats
Fake injury because Barcelona want to buy him for £110 million. Another 8 pages since I was here.last. again, don't think I have will power to read that to catch up. Still assume nothing happened.
Other than Barca being hugely presumptuous and apparently organising an arrival ceremony for Couts. And they had the gall to have a go at PSG for doing the same sort of **** with Neymar. The hypocritical behaviour in football is mind-blowing. Can we go crying to someone about Tapping up? But Yep our Summer window is still a complete bollocks up, like most of the others for years. Perhaps it has something to do with Owner and Execs running the club who have **** all knowledge about football.
Miserable?, Take a gander at these depressive symptoms. http://www.not606.com/threads/liverpool-van-dijk-teenage-sulk-thread.348975/page-182#post-10823884
No issues with selling Coutinho because him leaving for a club like Barca is inevitable - but its criminal to let him go this late on in the window with no replacement in sight. Re. western Union - not sure why there is a lot of anger - it's a small logo and it raises £25m over the next 5 years. In a market where prices are inflated, we need all the money we can get.
28 July - the time the shoddy journalists I mentioned were saying he was slacking/not training which is the reason for me posting the pictures. [Not all the pictures were that day, others were last week].
You really trust FSG don't you Jimmy, they started the summer with the £30m from the shirt deal, the extra revenue from the new stand, the TV money and the other sponsorship money and matchday and LFCtv money. Theyre smoking big cigars in Boston that they light with LFC generated $100 bills.
Agree on both. Selling Couts, well its inevitable at some point and all footballers move on eventually anyway and if we receive a £120m+ fee for him its a lot of money. Its already been a frustrating transfer window, not getting the targets we set our sights on and the amateur hour that has been the VvD transfer. So I worry about losing Couts as I don't trust our people to find the right player to replace him, or even to replace him at all. The sponsorship and commercial streams are one thing I can't fault FSG on, clearly this is their area of expertise and before they came the club was still in the dark ages about this. I just wish we saw these revenues being used for transfers.
Money is there. They backed klopp with 70m for Keita and 70m for VVD. It's not fsg fault that their clubs didn't want to sell?
Thing is - FSG are trying to spend big bucks on two big players. We're just unfortunate that we've come up against two very stubborn teams. I'm still confident that VVD will be done given that Soton local press have said they cant reintegrate him into the team now. Keita - this could be a deadline day deal I hope but who knows. But if fail to get at least one (mainly a CB), then this window is a failure. There is no excuse to not strengthen these areas even if we can't get our number one targets.
Also - I'm currently on my honeymoon. How am I supposed to make love to my wife with the VVD/Keita cloud over my head!
