    Seems more reasonable than what they are doing in current form in their current league doesn't it?

    Absolutely nothing to support this claim at all. Clubs always consider price but your claim that it was the only thing that made LFC's decision is moronic unless you were at the meetings?

    Seems more likely to me that Lambert being a fan and willing to sit on the bench and be effective from it was more important (or at least of some importance) than money, which we have ****loads of.

    You wanted Bony, you didn't sign him. The player didn't get to the point of having a choice to make, as you didn't meet Swansea's asking price.

    Who said we wanted Bony, the papers? Swansea have maintained that nobody make an enquire for Bony (not us or Spuds), Has anyone at LFC publicly stated we tried to buy Bony?

    I say you wanted Bony. I even called it on here before it was in the press, as a kopite I know who's in the game (lower leagues) told me.

    LFC would definitely approach some guy in the lower leagues first over possible interest in Bony

    Couldn't give a **** what your opinion is, but vault me on it, as I mentioned your interest on here and then a couple of days later it was all over the press, so his info must have been a total fluke I assume......genius

    And he/you know the only consideration was the price? And Liverpool knew the price was going to be too high without even approaching Swansea? Weird.

    If you wanted him and didn't buy him then the only issue that stopped the transaction is price - merely common sense, but hardly surprising that you're struggling to compute such a simple concept

    If we wanted him and have a transfer budget of £100m+ then money would not have stopped us. #simple

    It's far more likely that him unwilling to be 2nd choice to Sturridge whereas Lambert is was a factor. #engagebrainplease #bitter

    Just because you've got some cash, doesn't mean that you're not going to look for value in the market, you one dimensional dolt. Plus Lambert has **** all to do with it, you've taken Remy as he offers a better value option

    "This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club." #firstlinefail

    So now you're arguing for the truthfulness of transfer rumours printed in papers? And no matter what you would still have nothing to back up your claim that the only consideration was money. Neither would any reporter.

    Yeah as I said they all made it up for the craic lad, there was never any interest from you lot and you never baulked at the price and went for Remy instead it's all a figment of loads of different peoples imaginations, they all decided en masses to create the same nonsense story. <doh>

    Haha, I think they definitely read them, titheads like Durham on TS uses them as a barometer of fume levels and then stokes the fire of whichever set of fans he's decided to annoy

    Yeah and just for fun Brendan Rodgers started breifing journalists about the precise reasoning behind his interest before that interest even took the form of a bid. And just for fun Swansea also denied the existence of a bid. #craic

    It's not like newspapers have any financial interest in printing rumours that attract attention regardless of truth <doh>
