good for them. I hope by seeing that they should be going to the smaller clubs and buying players like this they will improve. Their best period under wenger occurred when they did this. It is patently obvious to me LFc are not buying if suarez doesn't go so while rodgers talks all he's going is storing up resentment. Is it beeter to be a good club boy or break and be honest and be with the fans like rafa... who knows.
hilarious... though why anyone would do nything but laugh with this guy... for year son old 606 you were a joker kid... you think you are about closing the gap to the mancs? please.... even when lfc were not total ****e you struggled to catch us let alone chelsea and utd and now that city are in there 4th is your trophy. 100mil to spend... we'll see when you are done what you spent.
Ryan Babel ‏@RyanBabel 4 the LFC fans who have questions about Eriksen, i've gave him enough information about the club during past season.. so he understands LFC
excuse me? I will clarify... toure free... wages offset by carragher aspas, mingolot and alberto arrived when? aspas deal confirmed "in principle" on the 6th june ifinally agreed a week later. 7mil spent right after that Carroll left about the 19th june - 15.5mil in then alberto arrives on the 21st june or so 6.8mil then Minoglet bought for 9mil on the 25th june then Shevely left the 2nds july - 5mil in then Reina off on loan for an undetermined fee and undetermined wage reduction. And interspersed are ongoing rumours of marquee buys that never actually become confirmed bids. I am not sure we even confirmed the 20mil for mkhitaryan or that we talked to him. the evidence points to money comes in, money goes out. we have a net spend of 2-3mil max dpeending which way you look at things. there are add ons and so forth but this window we've spent small.... perhaps we've spent well, the players need to prove that themselves over time. I eagerly await some evidence to the contrary. I'd love someone to be bought for 20mil and keep suarez but there no evidence bar certain people at the club saying they've money. I certainly don't mind us "spending wisely" and have a low net spend at all once its done strategically. I said this week i;d not mind if pepe was sold outright for instance but not a stupid loan. Only time will tell just as it has told at spurs that strategically wise reinvesment will or will not pay off. I honestly think that a reasonable supposition would be that until we spend the evidence suggests comes in that we buy only with sales agreed. Oh and i've no issue with those sales either, quite happy in fact. My point was not looking into the past but looking to the future few weeks.... in explaining where i dreamed it up from i hope will show i at least thought about it a bit.
MITO... My point was against you saying we were not looking to buy, that's quite clearly not true. However, your argument seems to be more around whether we have to sell to buy first
I meant we are looking to buy once suarez moeny comes available. I have no doubt we are looking but i can walk into harrods and look... same as arsenal..... OR if downing and borini at 8 and 12mil go then it adds to 20i land a bid for one player seeing sterling and ibe fill in. Indeed if we get back and see assaidi leave for 2-3mil then that and spearing could pay for alrderweirld for example. Its a supposition but based on a reasonable set of data. Not great but reasonable. So I await the evidence of a big buy and us holding suarez as long as we can.... I do think we have cash on hand in the form of working capital but we will not eat that in transfers.
I doubt riots but i can see how you will be upset. your team right now hasn't the quality that spurs have and even they are not fully formed as a unit IMO. I do think its down to options. if spurs get a striker and keep bale they will have lots of options and a defense too. Arsenal need t work on thier defense but are very high quality but very similar attacking type sin the middle then the lack of real quality is right up fornt.
Spurs have a better squad than Arsenal right now, even without Soldado who looks like he will join them. Wenger is deluded and probably thinks we can win the title with what he have. I pray he is not as insane as he is acting and has a trick up his sleeve re Suarez because there are no other strikers left for us to get.
I agree with MITO regarding our policy this summer - we're definitely not looking to spend without selling or agreeing a sale first. We didn't actually match Dortmund's offer for Mkhitaryan so didn't bid on that one. If our new signings turn into little bargains, great, but that's not going to be found out til it's too late to change things.
Yeah, I know what you meant. I don't agree as I think we would be looking to buy if Suarez stays. I think the club are waiting because if he stays then the team is built around him, if he goes then the structure may need to change slightly.
thats fair enough. i just look for evidence, i can no longer take the words they say very seriously. in the end if they wait much longer the players targetsed will be at dortmund (done) ac milan or arsenal... Rodgers keeps talking about an attacking option... ayre keeps saying they have the moeny.... the club talked about reina and mingolet together now rather than being pepe's choice it all about wages and he always knew he had to get shut. See my dilemma... i can't beelive waht they say only the actions speak to the truth. When the sign someone then I'll add that to the evidence.
