      Good bluff there today by Kenny.

      Player set to sign for Hoffenheim tomorrow.

      Seems that even Ajax didn't want him.

      We should be thankful that somebody wanted him.

      I think  selling to buy happens in almost every deal...difference in LFC the past few years was to sell one high value asset so 3 mediocre replacements could be brought in. If you sell and buy (Up) not (Down) I call that smart business.

      Sell to buy? No, we're just clearing some of the lesser talents out of the club. I expect to see a couple more departures in the summer, but we're not necessarily operating a sell to buy policy. What's the point of keeping Babel if we go ahead and buy another attacking player similar to him? He becomes an overpaid reserve team player holding up the development of those younger, and with more potential in the cases of Suso and Pacheco.

      Definitely got my eyes peeled on events.  A relatively thin senior squad isn't going to get stronger by removing players.

      I do hope to god this sell to buy thing isn't going to continue.

      He was at what though..60k a week for sitting on the bench? meh to me even if we don't pick up someone this window the door is now open for Dani, and who of us would not rather see him on the pitch then babel.

      Im pretty pleased babel has moved on and lets hope hoffenhiem get the best out of him because rafa and kenny could not.
