    Puts spending £100m on Pogba into context. Spending £350m on worthless **** no one wants <laugh>

    They could have sold players, if Pogba was worth it :)

    But who am I to disagree if it makes you feel better and cushions the blow

    No they couldn't. They tried selling James but no one wants him...<laugh>

    What blow? I am delighted about the buy. If we were buying mediocrity for £30m-£40m like the RS or wasting £350m on **** over 3 years then I'll be upset...<laugh>

    They were desperate to sell some players to raise the money But some were useless **** that no one wnated. So couldn't raise the money. That makes this buy even sweeter.

    Phew, thanks for cushioning the blow.

    I was close to suicide over us having signed the most expensive player in the world after Liverpool signed the most expensive player in the Championship <ok>

    So the GGs lost some millions on Pogba leaving. Of course I am going to be extremely suicidal on their behalf <laugh>

    No, you're right. The players Liverpool give away are so bad the thought of them ever breaking any record is pretty laughable.

    Thinking about how **** Liverpool's youth system is just softens the blow even more <ok>

    Several made first team appearances last season, a couple in particular have stood out <ok>

    Jose of course is well known for not spending large sum after larger sum and coaching youngsters through and not loaning youngster after youngster out because he cant coach them

    So you're in good hands!

    Why couldnt Jose manage to get Chelsea out the **** last season (before he was fired obvs) btw?

    Don't worry, they'll go the way of Coady, Morgan, Flanagan, Kelly, Spearing and all the other 'next big things' who were never good enough. Or Jurgen will sell the most promising of them to Bournemouth to fund a raid on another Championship club <ok>

    Nice attempt to deflect with Jose tho', hides your shame well <applause>

    Come on, don't pretend you aren't seething that "better than Sterling" Ibe who was being lauded as they next big thing by every Koppite pundit under the sun has been shunted out by Norbert.

    I'm amazed it slipped under the radar so much, imagine the media attention if Mourinho had sold Rashford in his first summer window!

    Oh yeah, they'd only won it the season before

    Maybe its because the transfer window had closed, or the fact he's a **** who ends up pissing players off, is the reason?

    Alot of greedy egos in your dressing room, should be fun

    Ibe signed a new contract then appeared like he couldnt be arsed

    Banged a couple in for Bournemouth pre season though

    He just appeared to lose his effort, maybe because Rodgers left

    Wow. It must be worse at Anfield than feared if Norbert isn't as good a motivator as Rodgers <yikes>

    Sometimes a player gets a relationship with the manager, like wee Joe and BR

    Dont think anyone did with VGall though, he was another who was the bestest ever when he joined wasnt he?
