      Isnā€™t it irrelevant what others do? We canā€™t control their actions, we only have control of what we do. No point in even considering them.  Our strongest 11 and their strongest 11 are pretty much equal. Two of the best teams in the world and two of the best managers in the world, separated by oil money. Real difference is when did JĆ¼rgen last manage a team run by wealth? Or perhaps when did Pep last manage at a club that wasnā€™t able to compete on a financial basis?

      No, it's not irrelevant what our rivals do, IMO.

      If it is to you, that's your choice.

      It's not about obsessing over them, but keeping an eye on them is part of football imo.

      You think Klopp and the team consider what other teams do irrelevant?
      Of course not.

      I've heard the term in Liverpool to describe a scruffy, unkempt appearance.
      Over zealous political correctness is applicable.
      Can honestly say never heard the term used as any racial slur.


      Ok fair enough, I apologise to all the Arabs in these boardā€™s!

      The north American interpretation of the phrase was understandably not used in Liverpool.

      Individuals on the lower rung will be made an example of occasionally but no big corporation or billionaire is ever bought to book.

      You clearly donā€™t understand the rules of Neo Capitalism.

      Of course not.

      Do you think JĆ¼rgen will pay any attention to what Pep spends per season, knowing full well canā€™t compete on that front? Think Pep come out last couple of days and basically said that cityā€™s money is the difference.

      Like I alluded to, not something we can control, so no need to worry about what the opposition do ...

      Doubt that very much. Same as those at centre or to the right thought Corbyn was a threat. Lie about the threat until the sheep swallow the bullshit.

      1 out of 3

      Brighton Id nearly agree with but theyve been splashing 22 million on Adam Webster for example or Ales Matjeu in that 5 year period. I think id rather be signing Harvey Elliott for 4 millon to be honest and binning off players like Kevin Stewart and Ryan Kent for 8 million

      Goes to show having some money to spend without a brain does you no good.

      In 18/19 Fulham spent >100M (USD) for Seri, Anguissa, Mitrovic and Mawson while for a lot less than that we got Mane and Gini a couple years earlier.

      Thats it. The lad I mention there Mateju, they sold him for 2 million 2 years later. So the net spend looks great because they fork out good money on a player but sell him for less then 10% of what they bought him for

      That is terrible.

      From the looks of it Seri is Fulham's most expensive signing ever, and after playing one season with them he's been out on loan the 2 seasons since.

      For some reason i don't think Fulham's fans are celebrating their net spend.

      While the TC and FSG have indeed made some very successful signings and net spend doesnā€™t tell the whole truth, one of the worlds biggest clubs should not be outspent by those aforementioned.

      Because unlike you I actually engage in conversation and consider viewpoints from all kinds of people. There are smart people and idiots across the political spectrum.

      The club have spent just under Ā£1bn since the owners bought the club and Ā£500mil since Klopp arrived

      I donā€™t doubt it, although does that include building upgrades and new training facilities, or just on squad investment, ie new players?
