Brendan Rodgers says there is no-one better than him for Liverpool job

Gotta say it, there are few who worth this hard to maintain their delusions, in fact I can only think of one other, maybe two..

Well in Shteve.

Though I do laugh when posts make you bitters scuttle off to read the interweb for half an hour looking for ammo to then come back all guns blazing only to be sent off again lookng for more.

At least you don't pretend to be an expert, unlike some.

Shteve you've still not posted your sources re Failcao's salary

 

Fixed

Hang on that list can't be right, as there's no Weetabix legs, Balotelli, Borini and Lambert?

My point was that he gave them a chance (not that he signed them!). Other managers are too scared to bring youth players into the team. I doubt Mourinho has the faintest idea about what's going on in his youth teams as he has no interest in promoting players to the first team.

Not giving LVG the credit for scouting or training them. I am giving him credit for playing them in the first team.

Not sure where I've been arrogant. I said Liverpool have wasted a lot of money signing a lot of average players. Is that an arrogant statement or is it just a factual statement?

 

Fake excuse about tax? What you on about fat lad?

 

So is it 24m or what?

What's the most reliable source available?

 

It's not a 4 year investment as there's no guarantee he'll stay for 4 years even with a 4 year contract, he will want a pay rise at some point, he will angle for a contract extension, Liverpool may look to sell him this summer, he may or may not have a resale value. So many variables that mean it isn't a 4 year investment which is why the money is paid up front.

 

Sources out there.

 

Yeah, I mean I could post the link but really what's the point, you won't give it any credibility, well neither would I tbh

There's a lot of numbers being bandied about, which is why I am asking if you have any credible sources one way or the other, cos I don't.

 

Wow you jokers going on about how many goals its cost so and so club.

To sum it up - Balotelli and Falcao both been a waste of money.

To wade in on the argument Balotelli costs shouldn't be calculated over the the 4 years as you're assuming he's going to 1.play 2. score goals next year the year after and the year after that. From the looks of Brenden he won't be playing anymore.

If you really have to calculate this goals to money bullshit, then you should do it on what they've cost each other so far and thats that.

 

Astro posted a load of links re Falcao's salary, I was happy to work with those to demonstrate that you plucked a figure out of the air and used your hole to share it with the rest of us.

Given you think that when you agree a salary of £xxk per annum you will be paid 12 months money even if you only work for 9 months I'm not sure you really understand how wages work!

 

But you don't actually know if he gets 9 or 12 months salary, players are often paid for the year even if their contract only runs for 9 months, depends on negotiations.

Meh, it's all wild speculation but it was a bit of craic throwing it out there Shteve, but it's lost it's humour value now and all we are left with is opinions if you get me. That's why I'm asking anyone if they have some credible sources to cite

 

And yet we're still 16 points and 7 places above you, with a game in hand #perspective

Maybe just putting all your eggs into the "25th best goalscorer in the league" basket wasn't such a great idea?

 

Who let the genius in?

 

It says "at least" and the 3 articles after it say £24m

#ouch

 

I think the most credible source is anything that includes information provided by the people paying his salary ie Manchester United. They said they were not matching the player's net take home of £10million a year. It's that straightforward. I don't see why they'd lie as they've been open about the massive wages they're paying other players. They can't hide things like that as they have to publish accounts etc.

 

25th in the league? meh, I'm the 3000000000th best striker in the world

 

Except Balotelli was bought and can be sold to get money back, Falcao was loaned with no possibility of money back so they're completely different types of investment
