I’m sure the pundits and mainstream media will be falling over themselves to applaud Liverpool’s “brilliant rebuild,” spending a casual £500–600 million in just six months. You’ll hear all the usual buzzwords — smart recruitment, strategic investment, backing the manager, and of course, a statement of intent. They’ll romanticize it, talk about how Liverpool and Slot are “building another dynasty,” and how it’s all part of some genius long-term vision.


But when City spends even half of that — suddenly, it’s financial doping, sportswashing, and ruining football. Pep goes from being a tactical master to a so-called chequebook manager overnight. Funny how that works, isn’t it? One club “invests wisely,” the other “buys success.” The hypocrisy is almost impressive. If only double standards were a trophy, the media would have Liverpool lifting it every season.

@jimharri Semenyo clearly did not feel racial abused, he looks to be headed there. Can we blame it on Stockholm syndrome?

Football is very tribalistic I think fans thought they should have got a decent fee for him . If that was the case then he would probably have had a better reception. I also think that the fact he is entering his prime years didn't help . Madrid have done it time after time Got players worth hundreds of millions free of charge.
 
Hoping for s decent game on Sunday A draw would be a good result for me but Liverpool are so unpredictable right now anything is possible

Littlewoods fans should grow up and face the reality of football transfers in the real world.

Players are perfectly entitled to run down their contract and join another club at the end of it, just like that Yorkshire clogger, Milner, did when he left City.

None of us complained that it wasn’t fair, and I don’t remember any of your shower being outraged that he’d walked away from Etihad for nothing.

Your entitled followers are a bunch of fucking hypocrites.

Whilst Keane is an attention-seeking **** imo, I think he is actually spot on with his comments.

The dipper fans really are a pathetic and hypocritical set of individuals who really believe that they are really special and different, whilst they demonstrate some of the worst traits imaginable, even amongst football supporters in general, which is quite a low bar anyway.

No shame, no acceptance of responsibility for the actions of their feral morons, and hypocrisy right at the top of their dna.

A typical attempt at excusing the pathetic and immature behaviour of their moronic mob.

He didn't go to Madrid for free.

The daft fuckers paid £10M for him, despite his contract with LFC expiring.

The red dipper fanbase is nothing more than a feral cult mob.

I agree 100% with this.

I have got a genuine dislike for the dipper fanbase. I've always been very suspicious of cults anyway, and I find their lack of insight and emotional intelligence quite offensive.

I know that football is about tribalism and most of us think our club is the gold standard but the dippers are just weird and not in a good way.

They seem to have an over developed sense of importance and a under developed sense of responsibility.

The media don't help because they're terrified of offending them which is a contradiction in terms because the dippers are offended by everything and ashamed of nothing.

If Foden or O'Reilly were to run their contracts down and join Real Madrid on a free transfer at age 25 every City fan in the world would be wanting blood, pretending otherwise is stupid. Alexander Arnold is a turncoat and the dippers are right to boo him to a man from the rafters. You can't talk all that shite about this means more then engineer a free transfer costing your boyhood club around 80 million quid.
 
A lot of this was Liverpool's fault in missing the opportunity to give him a long term deal, like the one we gave to Haaland. At least then they would have been able to command a higher fee from Real, or maybe Real would have cooled their interest.

He's going back there to educate people for they know not what they do.

It's obscene how much the scouse are shelling out considering they employed the mantra "Money can't buy you success" time and time again under Klipperty.

I don't agree with that whatsoever.

Comparing LFC fans with MCFC fans is the difference between night and day.

The dippers have a collective mindset that their club is special and different to any other club in the world. It's through this skewed lens that the dippers view their football club to be "more" than just a football club and it's why other fans refer to it as a cult at Liverpool.

As a MCFC fan I would be disappointed and sad to see our academy players leave the club but I wouldn't boo them for it. That requires a level of entitlement that I cannot relate to.

We've lost plenty of important players over the years and the club continues to go from strength to strength.

The rags did something similar when Rooney announced the club lacked ambition and he wanted out.

As a MCFC fan I've always been of the opinion that if a player wants to leave the club for whatever reason, then off you pop.

Who wants a player sticking around that doesn't want to be there? We had this with Cole Palmer who felt he should be playing more games.
