re: tOfficial Liverpool 2017/2018 Thread: “Upgrades Incoming Edition: A Great Season!”

I saw it scroll across the bottom too and just thought to myself "really?" laughed and then shook my head

Forgive me Zab, I didn't take my own advice.

Thank you P&G, if FSG would sell Cou at this late date having to this point straight up whiffed on our top two targets after all that shite about 200 being spent and what a huge summer it's going to be I would be shocked and appalled.

You just have to love Gini's smile

ALl in all - the color will line up well with Standard Chartered. I think its supposed to be about 5m a year for the sponsorship, which isn't bad.

About this Cou stuff - I can't see it unless he makes a fuss/transfer request. I can easily see us telling him its too late this window but a similar offer earlier in the window next year will do it, etc. But we don't have time to line-up a real replacement, get him in for preseason, etc.

Barcelona already booking tv air time for countinho's reveal.

Either hilariously arrogant or very worrying. I'm going with the latter because I refuse to believe FSG is that stupid.

Melissa has spoken.

Praise Salah

They can save that shite for someone else. The way that they try to bully clubs into selling using the media is ridiculous. I mean they are literally reporting a meeting-involving men flying to another county- that did not happen. Hope they end up with egg on their face this window. Demebele looks likely to leave but it would tickle me pink if that fell through.

I gotta tell you boys, I am still dumbfounded that after all the talk of a 200 million dollar summer that we have spent 43 million and still have no CB to pair with Matip. And I really like AR but the fact that Albie is "back" worries the shite out of me. The unmitigated frick up with VVD is mindbogglingly incompetent and is yet another example that FSG knows how to run a Major League Baseball team but that they have no clue how to operate in the transfer window. I love Klopp but I must say that I am a bit unnerved that he really had no backup for our two top targets. That all being said, buckle up because I think we are going to score a ton of goals and give up a ton. It's going to be fun to watch, I just thought it might be a little different this year in the back end.

There's still time in the window. VVD just put in his transfer request. The bookies have him ending up at Liverpool and they have more skin in the game than us as fans

I've always though Soton would drag their feet as long as possible. There's no benefit for them to have VvD at Liverpool for training all summer. Let the league start, see if Liverpool fall out of CL, and then address it. If Liverpool still wants him and VVD still wants out, you take the 60-70 mil you were getting anyway, and player has to be worked into the team during the season.
I thought it would be done this week but the earlier frick up just encourages Soton to hold on longer.
I think Liverpool were afraid to sign another CB and then lose VVD to Chelsea/MC. Thinking Liverpool couldn't afford 100 mil for two CB. I would have rather this obviously but it's not my money.
Anyway I'm ready for Saturday and glad I got my shirt before that sleeve patch.
