Liverpool thread 2019/20

Klopp is becoming the biggest moaner about City spending. He certainly thinks he can pressure UEFA to ban us by keeping his now regular attacks against City. I hope his team crashes from the first PL games.

Hope we thrash them on sunday

two down............clearly no need for investment in his side

those were the days - wishing for oil money from people who condone slavery ....club was formed by religious bigots who went on to be racist bigots in the British Union of Fascists. Most of their fanbase don't even know the 'istree of their club.

Watching it. Origi proving he's no more then a 30 second cameo player. Milner and Henderson are obviously not up to speed
and are too slow to kick anyone.

How can they be two down? They’ve got Van Dicky and Robertson in defense. That’s all they need!

My company is owned by equity owners, running a fairly similar business model to FSG (although a bit more strict). My budget is tied, short term, to EBITDA. I would love to work with employers that were willing to spend big, ignore EBITDA for a second and just look at long term success.

Don't understand why you are so defensive about city's net spend in terms of players in/out. Without those constant investments in the squad, The City Group wouldn't have reached success. You should point fingers and at FSG and the Glazers for using old school "milking" business model, allowing City to go from nowhere to domination in ten years.

Once again you are totally missing the point, whether deliberately or otherwise.

We are defensive about City's net spend a) because it's being used as a stick to beat us with, and b) because most of what is spouted about it is total and utter bollocks. Yes, our owners invested massively in the early years to get us to the position of being competitive and challenging for honours but the club has been run as a self-sustaining entity and has
been a profit making business for the last 4 or 5 years.

So "constant investments in the squad" is a complete fallacy - our purchases are now (and have been for a few years) funded by our revenue.

Don't tell me the Courtinho money has run out. Impossible.

That coutinho money stretched further than those 5 loafs and 2 fishes.

You mean the next Ballon D'or winner and the best full back in the country surely?
