Liverpool Thread - 2021/22

[KS55]

Merseyside police took a long, hard look at it.

....and Inspector Dalgleish said: "Move along, nothing to see here la."

 

[Withnail]

No age that they have 2/3 seasons at the top level

Possibly, but I can't see either Henderson or Thiago improving as they get older.

 

[Vienna_70]

Danny's not happy.

He shouldn’t be such a tightarse, then, should he?

No sympathy whatsoever.

I'm surprised they didn't get to Alvarez first. ;-)

Who'd have thought it, Henry sh*ting on his mate Daniel.

Just goes to show Daniel, you can't trust anyone, even one of your PL Cartel mates. Ha!

At least you don't have to worry about checking Tottenham's player database, Daniel.

The rumour was that Liverpool underpaid for Salah so to compensate they overpayed for Alisson.

Dan Friedkin who owns Roma has close links with FSG and especially John Henry

Anything to do with a sell on clause, Chelsea had with Roma?

Yup. Two arseoles when it comes to transfers. Plague on both their houses. Levy thinks he's a great negotiator, but the Harry Hotspur nonsense trashed his rep.
Henry is just a shithead, pity he won.

Hopefully this Diaz signing causes some unrest. Mane, Salah, Jota and Firminho will all want to play and now Diaz means there’s a tough balancing act to be had.

Getting the player in now before Salah is sold in the summer with 1 year left on his deal and clubs know they have ££. Hope nobody buys him for stupid money though and he runs down his contract. Same with Mane

I doubt it will be for stupid money with only one year left.

 

[BlueLou82]

Much as it pains ne to say it, he's one of the best in the world atm. Id rather he stayed another year and got off on a free than PSG pay £100m+ and give them money to reinvest.

Hope he heads somewhere else in summer as he looks decent

The bbc HYS in this and their transfers is a bizarre back slapping inward looking series of self congratulations on building the next generation whilst simultaneously slagging us off appallingly
It’s weird.

Certainly appears that the dippers stalled out Fulham past the deadline on purpose. Now they can sign Carvalho for free and still get him next summer.

I think it was the other way around. Fulham decided for the monies offered it just wasn't worth their while.

if I was the player I'd stick with Fulham if they get promoted. Liverpool have loads of wide forwards. He'd struggle to start in their side however good he is

 

[Decepticon]

They can't hack our database anymore.

 

[Marvin]

They only bid for Diaz it seems because Spurs were close, and now they try and take a player from Fulham because they see the chance to get a good player for less than market value. This is not the way to build a squad. That's the Daniel Levy philosophy of the transfer market. Rather ironic as he is reported to be upset with LFC.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

I’ve never subscribed to this Daniel Levy is a great negotiator stuff, and I’d come to that conclusion long before the Kane deal never materialised.

A good negotiator yields when they need to. A good negotiator knows when to take the money and run. A good negotiator accepts there has to be something in it for the other guy.

Any **** can dig their heels in, and doubtless on occasions it works, but if you’ve only got one gear, then you are bound to come unstuck eventually.

Yes I read that too.
Claiming to be the very best club at transfers which is a weird claim with one title in 30 years.

Correct. And a good negotiator takes account of knock on effects in a specialised market. How will my stance look to the players? Will players be reluctant to come here as a result of my negotiating rep? etc etc.
