Ok, but is 50m for Martial or Stones really that different from 35m for Mane? I mean it's not like we are shopping bargain basement or anything.
We broke the transfer record for Kenny, Collymore, and Carroll, I'll assume you think something at the club died when we made those transfers mate.It's the real world, you move forward or you go backwards, its sad, but that's the reality, and we really are in danger of being caught up and overtaken by lesser teams with more ambition if we don't move with the times.We're currently sitting on the beach hoping the tide won't come in, when its already wetting our feet.
Don't care what people say. Don't want to see the club throwing silly money at players like City, Chelsea and United. I've been complaining about those soulless clubs trying to buy the league £50 million per player at a time and I don't know about you but I value my own morals and views towards the game more than a few pieces of gold.World class talent should be earned by the way you play, not the size of your bottom line. I know the game is moving on, but I don't care. The day I see us making deals like £50 million for Martial, Jon Stones or your mates Granny something will have died at this club a little.
So stay another 30 years from winning the league. I'm not saying that this is the right way but I think it is the only way for us to win it again. Don't mention Leicester because that was one in a billion.
You couldn't resist that could you Stu ?
Would rather not win it than win it in a way I've always said is rotting to the core. It's a personal thing for me, I've been running my mouth about people buying the league for years so I've dug my grave a long time ago about this issue
This doesn't make sense? "A Chinese consortium is willing to raise its valuation of Liverpool to £1bn to secure an investment in the club, it was reported tonight.". The club is only worth £1.1 billion? That's a takeover bid, not an investment, surely?
Apparently the bid has been increased to £1b.LinkWhich would suggest a full takeoverEDIT: What's weird is my original link to the original website that reported the story, that webpage just removed the story so I had to re-link to the Echo website. Until tomorrow that is, when the bid is off again.
Again, a valuation is different to a bid, so it would not suggest a full takeover.
Same thing I guess. If you agree a product is now worth more then you're probably also willing to pay more and if they are willing to pay £1b, then that's got to be for a full takeover.
Valuing the club at 1bn doesn't mean they are willing to pay 1bn, it simply means they agree to use the valuation as a basis to buy a stake in the club, eg 50% so then they would pay 500m for a 50% stake in a football club valued at 1bn
Agreed. I'm just looking at it from the point of view that £1b to these guys is pocket change to them (if you believe the rumours), so if they wanted us, they'd pay that £1b and not blink an eye.
That depends on what they want, they don't have so much money by just flinging it everywhere. They probably don't know the first thing about running a football club responsibly so want to buy a stake in the club for a number of years before buying the club out right.
Fuckinghell lets hope they dont learn off John and Tom!
The Kenny and Collymore deals have no relevance in today's market because it's not even close to what we have today. Carroll however good god yes I do think something died a little when we spent 35 million on that donkey but I will point out we earned that cash to piss away from selling Torres

If the Chinese get their way and buy the club or for that matter even if it's a minority stake, the money they have at their disposal is mind boggling. It could transform us in one transfer window. I can see Neymar getting use to a bit of lobscouse! About time we had a bit of luck in the financial circles
