Ive said its a bubble many times mate. The tv companies are trying to clamp down hard on streaming. Sky are splitting sports into packages to try hold share as they know its too expensive. The issue is 90mil for coutinho is 5 years down the pan of development when you pay 70 min for keita at 22 and hope he is as good as klopp thinks. We need our reward for developing coutinho from a boy who was failing at inter to a guy playing for brazil at 25... 120mil imo is huge. 100mil up front. Get it done and buy draxler and that cb and gk and kieta too... team improved overall.
I said it first, nuh-nuh. Seriously, the TV companies will only stop people wanting to stream by giving people what they want. They'll have to try and get regulations changed so they can sell individual packages to each team's supporters. No disrespect, but who outside of their own small fan base wants to watch say, Burnley against Huddersfield - if they can watch their own team? In fact, what fan wants to watch any other game rather than their own? I'm aware that they don't show 3pm matches because of the fear it will impact on gates, but I wonder how much difference it would really make. They can keep trying to block streaming, but people will find a way around it, and the battle will go on.
to be fair, anyone whos really into their footie and doesn't have a wife (or said wife is on holiday) i'm more than happy to just watch whatever games are on tv unless chelsea are playing.
I agree. The day that they make the teams available to each supporter live... say 20 quid a month for 100% of games then that will be that... but thennnn oh... tv deal is blown isnt it. It will prob be 50 a month
you're suggesting people are only getting sky to watch their own team on tv? I've just pointed out i'm happy watching any team if its on the tele
Theres a lot of us who are no longer that pushed mate. Theres not enough time in the day. On the other hand my mate with the kidney failure would sit there all day and watch every league going.. which is prob why he needs ro lose 10kg before they will operate
I used to be like that but too much often bores me nowadays so only watched Liverpool. Never watch internationals bar the European Championship and World Cup
Ffs, Bobby. No. I'm saying people stream games because they can't watch all of their own team on Sky or BT, "Rather than" not "other than". It doesn't mean you wouldn't watch another game, only that you wouldn't watch another if your game was available. Only plassies would do that.
Why? Barca have £200m in their pocket, and if the boot was on the other foot, like it was over Luis, they'd ****ing stamp for all their worth. Everything you say after that is true, but irrelevant. Sure, if we get £135m (and NO agents' fees, ffs) that'll mean, as it did with Andy Carroll, that it's passed on when we go to buy someone, But I sure as hell would rather pay £10m over the odds for Keita and put the money in Leipzig's pocket (and or Soton's too, for all their arsehole fans on here), than in Barca's. I simply cannot understand, after our dealings with Barca over Luis and Masch, why anyone would think otherwise. 'Let's all be nice to other and stop this madness now that poor Barca are suffering'. **** that. Stop the ride AFTER they've puked their ****ing guts up, not before. ****ers.
Liverpool FC ... Kopborn of the House Anfield, First of Our Name, the 96, King of the Boot Room and Coutinho, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Stanley Park, Breaker of Barcelona, Mother of Liverbirds
Let's just be clear here though. If we don't sell Couthino, I still want us to buy Draxler, A CB and Keita. #noexcuses
