lol, you obviously dont see the irony. You will never be proven wrong as you cover all bases, depending on who you are responding to. Anyway, I have said my piece, you carry on dissing the club in blind ignorance if that is your thing.
 
I just have a crazy feeling our third transfer in this season will be a worldy. Jorginho and mahrez are great additions but not one like hazard neymar or mbappe

I agree mate! I personally think that’s why we are tying to keep the numbers for mahrez and Jorginho down? If we were 100% just buying them two then I think we would do the deal for each and be done.

Not sure if this is the place to post this, but surely there has to be a better system than the current transfer system for football players around the world? The way I see it, is the most of the vast and ridiculous amounts of money that change hands for players just ends in constant circulation, with probably only a small percentage filtering its way down to lower league clubs to help their development. Worse, is that large sums from these fees get taken out of the industry altogether by way of agents, advisers, lawyers etc.
In the end, the net effect is the big clubs have to generate more and more revenue to feed the crazy transfer fee inflation - to do that match day costs are put up, tv packages are sold off to companies like Amazon and pay tv subscriptions are hiked every year. So is there an alternative? Radical but why not scrap transfer fees? Safeguard lower league clubs development revenue by giving them a guaranteed pay out from the top divisions. Players would still have employment contracts just like most workers and to stop any chaos you'd have a registration date for the season ahead to stop in-season movements. You could slightly enlarge playing squads to cover for injuries etc. and there would be no restrictions to sign out of contract players.
If a player then really wanted to leave a certain club, they could buy their contract out.
Main revenue sources for clubs would still be broadcasting, commercial and matchday revenues but without transfer budgets more money would be put into lower league and grass roots football - perhaps by way of a levy or fixed %, perhaps even to national bodies to distribute?
I'm sure there are holes in this but if there was a way to reduce the spend on players fees, cut down agents influence, stop the wastage of resources, create a more equitable distribution of funds to lower leagues, reduce match going costs etc then it could revolutionise the sport.

Some good points in there pal and I would love to see a change to the current system. However, I think one factor will always reign supreme and that is GREED- a horrid trait of human behaviour but one that is virtually impossible to eradicate within the game.

I don't know what forums you have read, but ever since the dark ages of Roy, I for one have had us outside the top four each year. And each summer has ended in a disappointing transfer window.

So in terms of transfers - yes. So far it has finally been our year! As for the league ... who knows!

Thought that myself. I hate negotiating with Italian teams. They want everything on the cheap when buying, then expect everyone else to pay through the nose when selling.

he's been on loan,so they had to pay a loan fee plus his wages,so that 40m is really 60m but they've had a year or two out of him already

I wish you were correct, but it just feels to me like we're squad strengthening and almost being a little complacent after such a dominant season. For whatever reason it seems we're not spending as much now, which in my opinion is the wrong time to reign it in. Better to strengthen from a strong position, not have to catch up again in another year or two. The time to relax it slightly would be after we got someone like Mbappe or Hazard.

Unfortunately I think Liverpool will run us close for the title next season, yet if we signed a true world class player then whatever our rivals did wouldn't be enough.

How much do you think we can/should spend this window and would that be compliant to our financial business model?

you will struggle to beat lower teams because they will sit back,as klopp only knows how to play the lob it over the defence and get very fast players to chase it ,the reason you did so well against us is pep will not change his style ,i expect a kicking off you lot again next season but can see you being a few points behind us again.
