As a strategy there's nothing wrong with looking to primarily buy younger players who'll both improve and have a strong resale value should you choose to cash in a few years later.

However, the key is to buy the right ones, and that's where it's failed at Anfield.

That's not the owners fault, that's down to those who they entrusted to spend the cash, and Rodgers must shoulder his fair share of the blame.

I can't disagree.
 
1. Suarez only missed 5 league games because of his ban last season [HASHTAG]#myth[/HASHTAG]

2. It depends just how good they are, Maradona took Napoli to the title virtually single handedly. His 31 league goals and umpteen assists were a huge part of what you achieved last season, only a fool would deny it. His departure has left a chasm at your club.

3. So he's improved every player? Really? What about Assaidi, Borini, Aspas, Lovren, Moreno, Mingnolet, Johnson, Sakho, Allen, Lallana, Lambert and Balotelli? Or couldn't he be arsed with them? What utter tripe.

too right. i was too polite to reply...

Totally correct.
 
You're both right. BR has mostly bought a load of over-priced **** BUT the transfer policy laid out by FSG (we think) sets out that we want to buy potential gems.....which clearly will cost money. Perhaps it's BR's strategy and not just FSG's. My feelings are clear on here but it's fair to say that whatever formula they are using to value players.....it's not working that well. The exceptions are Sturridge (when fit), Coutinho and Can imo.

thing is gems need not cost 25mil and be 26.

Can is an example of policy applied well. found a release clause and a decent talent with right experience.

Markoivc is policy applied badly due to price paid.

Coutinho is perfect example of paoching talent.

Balotelli is utterly without reasoning.

origi might be good example we don't know

Alberto is bad example as alarm bells were ringing the day barca said nah seville you keep him. he's been isolated and marginalised at malaga all year.

ilori might be good or bad, we just can't tell due to injury record.

The idea is to buy young loan successfully like cheslea and increase value.

Wisdom cost not much when brought in as a kid and he's not at least a 5mil player despite pulis best efforts.

ibe needs to be signed on a new deal urgently... we are repeating the errors of the past here. Ince... sterling.. we are biggint he lad up, sending out on loan.. not getting him secrue first. FFS anyone watching him in preseason can tell if he's put on a long contract he'll be a footballer at worst we sell on for 5/6mil. should have been done
 
Lallana was £25m and 26, Lambert £4m and 32, so there's £29m of your £35m..............

Maybe he just bought a load of over priced ****, the dem Yanks have backed him to the tune of over £200m in 2 1/2 years, trying to shift the blame onto them for his awful transfer history at Anfield is taking the piss.

Thanks for proving my point that they wouldn't spend £35m on a 28 year old <ok>
 
Also cannot disagree <ok>

Depay can score goals, Lallana can't, Depay is 21 Lallana is 26
It would have taken 30m to tempt PSV.
4m in the difference, why do you not agree?

we have almost 0 hope of getting him this summer.

Plus if we had done that, we'd have ben 16m better off not haivng to get Balo, so really, we'd be 12m better off IF we had managed to get Depay for 30m and not bothered with Lallana and Balo

Lallana has added nothing to us this season and Balo less than nothing.

Bad deals and settling for average but English has been a disaster

It's a mixed bag for sure but there's many more fails than passes. BR stood up and told the world that the purchases was part of a strategy after being accused of panic buying. He's been found out. he stood up and said it's easy to coach teams to park the bus. He's been found out. I do feel for the guy, particularly the fact that Sturridge has been injured all season and that when we finally found someone to play on the right, Ibe got injured but let's face it.....relying on those two would have been plain stupid at the beginning of the season.

Oh...if he stays..... I do wish he'd just keep his mouth shut sometimes. The very minute the words 'we're aiming higher than fourth' came out of his mouth, I shuddered!! <laugh>

Erm...I totally agree <laugh>

You may want to re-read my comment again <ok>
 
sure!

i don't see anything wrong with this. you've given the guy a go.


I have indeed, I have supported Brod all season, and said lets wait, and we waited. I thought he had come good with the good run, but that was false, had we played up for it sides in that run we'd havve lost some of them.

Our performance against Chelsea at Anfield in the cup, was probably the best performance of the season, and we faield to win that game.
 
Erm...I totally agree <laugh>

<doh> Sisu just <doh>

<laugh> <ok>

It makes me laugh when I think about it, we tried to cement our second place finish by buying a bunch of players from a team placed 7th the same season and a ****ing misfit from Italy to replace arguably the best striker in the world <doh>

I stand corrected, we tried to cement our second place finish by buying a bunch of players from the team that finished 8th the same season. <doh> <doh>

I can justify Lallana if he was 20, never realised he was that old, 20fucking6 like. He's not bad, but 26m <doh>

False argument. Which team higher than 8th would have sold us their players last season?

On the other hand when we buy talent from aborad like Markovic everyone whines he hasn't adapted instantly

Buying Mario summed up our transfer strategy. BR later came out to say that he was the best option we had <yikes>

Weak on all fronts and sums up where we are now. <ok>

False argument, we didn't have to buy from the PL Astro did we? ffs
We showed 0 ****ing ambition in the transfer market, money talks and we spent 16m on a misfit and 50m on also rans of unverified quality and don;t get me started on Markovic, but at least he is young, 20m tho.. double what he's worth

Why on earth do they have to come from our own league? I get buying British players to meet a quota but we were well covered.

Because when we make great buys from abroad like Coutinho, Can, Sakho everyone just says "yeah well apart from them" and when we make buys like Markovic everyone whines he doesn't adapt instantly
