Sometimes short and sweet is more than enough! You nailed it mate! Short has put his millions into the club over the last 10 years or so but you dont get plaudits for that. As any entertainer and backing businessman or manager knows, you're only as good as your last song or film, so all of the millions spent in the first 10 years doesn't count for ****. It's what you do now that counts. And if you didn't realise that by now you shouldn't have been sucker-punched into buying the club in the first place ya schmuck!!! To not spend money in this window trying to support your investment would be insane. A couple of mill' to prevent the club being worth less than a Scottish castle!
.I’m probably showing ignorance here, but how can this happen in December ? Even if the papers aren’t signed yet, surely discussions aren’t allowed yet ?
This could start a movement of CD's and Kone could get suckled into a space at another club by luck the querkiness of football...
That is mental money for a defender at £75m the pressure on him will be massive, who does the bullcrapping at Soton ? they are the best mind, done it for years. Had Soton kept all them players they would be in the champions league each season. What next Jack off to Barca for £30m hehe (exuse the pun)
Its no more than a rumour at present, evidently Liverpool are ready to match Saints valuation and they turned down something similar last window. I know it is speculation so far but it is being reported widely, could be wide of the mark we will have to see. In any case these transfers are shrouded in mystery with little in the way of transparency from any source. It should be made clearer imo, but they have their reasons, no doubt.
If it's a rumour, Liverpool should deny all knowledge or accept accusations of breaking the rules. If it goes through and all gets signed first thing on jan 1st , surely it means that transfer business has been undertaken before the window - perhaps denying another club from having a chance of showing their interest. (remember that we are looking for a CB) ( hehe). Liverpool should face a charge (yeah like the FA would have a go at one of their darlings).
Seems VVD as good as confirmed to complete jan 1st . Klopp - “ quality, that’s why we have brought him here “. Can’t be within the rules surely . If it’s deemed ok , then what’s to stop all clubs talking next dec and all business completed by the end of day jan1st ?
Its the size of the fee, and the profit made that interests me, for a player we were apparently linked to, well before Southampton stepped in. Wish we could play the market like they do, if only we had had this sort of money coming in, we could well do with it.
