    cos he's got barca all over him and the mancs wanted him for 300k per week wages.

    The buy out is not the issue. its pathetically low by todays mad standards at 100mil euros but the wages will be out of our league and he's got his pic.

    He's never coming here when he's got sunny catalonia to go to.

    You're probably spot on but I wouldn't totally rule anything out these days!

    well, that's true. It'd be a personal failure on his part IMO to end up at our club and not one of the 4 mega rich clubs on massive wages and thinking about CLs and golden baloons.

    What do we make of Everton going for Walnut?

    Personally think it could be a really good signing for them.

    Had hoped in the past we might buy him but its always fallen through.

    Who is better out of him and the Ox?

    Given the choice i'd pick Walnut although they have slightly different roles.

    Arsenal fans really don't think that much of him. Nor did they about Ox tbh...

    It'd probably do him a lot of good to get out of there, funny how a lot of players have just gone stale.

    doesn't stop him thinking it though....

    I don't personally believe that he's hit utd with a 400k per week salary demand but I do think his type of player are looking at messi and neymar and thinking they want a shot of it,

    True.

    I think if a team showed confidence in him and stuck him up front he would be pretty good.

    Arsenal did for a short while and he did perform.

    I think he needs some confidence and a proper run in the first team.

    He will get that Everton.

    1 of the 4 mega rich clubs has never won the CL and 1 of the 4 mega rich clubs has about as much chance of winning another CL as us.
    It's all about the money.

    Probably true... if he joins utd that is.

    As of now PSG and Barca are hot favorites for CL this year. He's linked to one of them

    city and real will be in there mix for the big one next year.

    He's got to go to barca to be one dreaming of the big gongs. Messi isn't getting any younger nor is suarez after all.

    I thought southampton were wanting him but they must be too mean to pay his wage demands.

    The two richest clubs haven't won it have they? City and PSG?

    The new money is yet to be successful. Hope they never win it.

    I wouldn't bracket City as one of the top 4 richest just yet, but yeah you're right in that respect

    And I 2nd your sentiment, but it's a little to late, Chelsea have already won a CL with new/oil money, whether we like it or not we have to somehow compete(along with many other clubs)with City but whenever we get a game changing top player his head is screwed up by transfer talk and he heads off to Spain.
    Until and unless rules change regarding ownership more clubs will end up with new/oil money and new status within the game.

    Newcastle could be the next City after their takeover, that would put even more pressure on our club to compete for honours and a CL spot.

    Been said for a long time, it's only a matter of time before a European Super League is formed. If no effective measures can be implemented to stop mega-rich owners blowing others in their league out of the water, then competition is effectively ended in those leagues, and just playing each other is the only way forward.
    It'll hoover up every top player in the world and the rest will be left to play amongst themselves.
    The game is ****ed imo.

    Okay, let's say a European Super League is formed and LFC are part of it, the same suspects, Barca, Real, PSG, Man City and Utd and Chelsea will also be there, so we'd be in the same situation then as we are now.
    It's okay to a certain degree having frugal owners who's byword with us is "live within our means" but to properly compete regularly something has to change.
    Looking back City(prior to the oil money)could never have persuaded a player to join them over Utd but that happens pretty regularly now because of money and it's gradually raised the profile of their club and continues to do so, without the investment and the money to burn tactics of the "elite"in the transfer market other clubs might only have sporadic success but not be where it matters when it matters at the end of the season on a regular basis.
