But Eddie was "confident"! They are lucky that Liverpool have spent up, as they have been in spending mood this summer and would have went all out for him.
Mmmmm. He had to go somewhere I suppose. Surprised Liverpool are considering a loan mind after their spending, unless the buy is an obligation. Weird club Wist em.
Of course he is. I think his head has been turned by Liverpool and the Saudis have spat their dummy out at Liverpool showing their power in the transfer market, bigger club able to spend more money due to PSR or whatever its called! As a result they have offered him something else instead of going to the one of if not the biggest club in the world with a real chance to win some proper silverware. I would love to see us win the league cup the year we got to the final and still would but it's not the league or champions league or even the fa cup! They have no doubt offered him a wage that would make his head spin never mind your average person! Now the next bit is down to what the Saudis see as the best thing for their love of football (it's for their love not sports washing honest!), do they see the Mags.or the league in Saudi as their most important project? If it's them he could well be back on loan by January if it's their league he probably won't!
I think you are right. I think there is an issue at Leverkusen with Ten Hag, I don't think the players wanted him and he's fighting a losing battle. I'll be astonished if Ten Hag is still there this time next year.
I think the PR team are really getting their act together. The difference between ourselves in the playoffs, as opposed to Coventry and Sheff Utd, was massive and I thought we presented ourselves totally professionally. If they’re really as good as I think they’ll also be considering how to ‘bury bad news’ and allow players to leave during other signings, kit launches, etc. Obviously, with modern media, leaks, agents, etc, it’s difficult to announce new players out of the blue but I think they're doing a pretty good job of it. I've seen a few clandestine photos of work inside the stadium, etc, but, apart from that, I’ve never heard a squeak of inside info for months … … and I quite like it tbh.
