Some people are drama queens on this thread.
We have just won the league for the first time in 44 years, our manager and club captain have just signed 5 and 6 year deals respectively, we've announced plans to build the biggest and best academy in the country and probably Europe and people are still stressing over transfers.
Yes we would benefit from a new centre half and a new winger but not if it means getting ripped off. We've made a massive short term investment in the club in the last 3 years and the long term plans are already in place with the academy, so now we're in a position where we hold all the aces. It might not be beneficial to keep Adebayor now because of his wages but when other players want a transfer in the future, they're going to know the club won't back down and can't be held to ransom. Likewise, if Liverpool want money to re-invest and develop there squad, they will know in future we aren't a club who will just hand over whatever sums of money they ask for. It might take a couple of transfer windows for other clubs to realise we are no longer mugs and a club to be taken advantage of and bum fucked with transfer and agents fees, but it'll be worth it in the long run. Our owners know what they're doing.
