They poached a couple of our scouts, Firmino was definitely one we'd been scouting.
Seem to remember he was one we were very much considering the same summer we brought in Raz and Kev.

Yeah looked like he was option B after Kev (he played as an AM at the time).Seem to remember he was one we were very much considering the same summer we brought in Raz and Kev.
2 of them, Liverpool offered them more money and we didn't think they were worth it, or didn't think they had the right to ask for it, take your pick. Most scouts aren't even paid for more than expenses, a lot aren't paid even expenses and the vast majority have zero job security. I know 1 lad that does occasional work for City in Ireland and he's well looked after and delighted so I'd understand either option.Who was the scout that was pouched from us and why didn’t we manage to make him stay?
I agree.Give yourself a slap ffs
god I hope so. but quite honestly I think they are actually buying some good players... Not the usual Hendo or Milner or someone from S'hampton.It's their year again?
Agree. What are they going to do if this new keeper gets concussion ?!Seems very harsh to spend £60m on a keeper just because Karius suffered a concussion?

They've made a huge book profit on Coutinho and the extra income they're bringing in from CL gives them a big budget for amortization on transfers. They can't do this every summer without sales though, basically they're rolling the dice.
Why? They'll do it themselves.July 25th. If we lose we might as well hand them the league.
A shit or bust move.They've made a huge book profit on Coutinho and the extra income they're bringing in from CL gives them a big budget for amortization on transfers. They can't do this every summer without sales though, basically they're rolling the dice.
Not shit or bust as they've a good squad there anyway, but it'll set them back a few years if they get it wrong.A shit or bust move.
Who will they blame when it goes bust? They won't get as piss easy CL group this season.
big threat this season, got to be realistic, they are going to be there or there abouts
I think the 8/13 about us and the 5/1 about them is a massive discrepancy it's going to be a lot closer this year between us regardless of what other blues sayWe’d best not concede the title to these odious scouse bastards. They seem to be making some fantastic signings. If they get two decent full backs they’ll have a hell of a team next season.
