      After watching McKennie last night, man, really wish Juve would be willing to let him go. He'd be great for us.

      Here's the problem with the netspenders.

      Tomorrow Edwards could go and rob someone to pay a high price on Origi and Woodburn and turn around and use that money to get Neuhaus, for example, and instead of being excited about getting a great player for the present and future, they will take out their calculators and see what the total net spend was and go to the FSG thread and complain about it.

      It is the single most petty, dumb thing on this board. Only net spend matters, nothing else.

      Actually you guys should start your own movement: NSM

      Dude you need to step back and take a chill pill. If you are so happy with FSG then why do you care if people debate the whole “net spend” issue?

      I don’t think there is anyone that isn’t happy for a quality signing just because we had to sell someone to buy them but imagine if we could make a quality signing without having to always sell someone.

      If we sell Origi, Shaq, Ox and Naby and bring in a quality attacker, I’ll be real happy and won’t really care about the net spend. However if we have to sell a Mane or a Firmino or a Salah to fund a quality signing or two then that’s an issue. L

      Or if we can’t add a quality signing because we can’t move on dead wood then that’s a problem.

      In FSG’s defense, they’ve always claimed this is the way they would work so it’s not a surprise but I would rather have owners that weren’t afraid to speculate to accumulate once in awhile.

      Would be happy if we signed Konate and Raphina.
      2 in and a few out to keep the squad fresh.
      Definitely some players at the end of the season played their way into a deserved squad place.
      At the start of the season I thought we had the strongest squad I'd ever seen at LFC so 2 quality players in would do the job.
      Obviously then you look at other options if players like Origi have decided they want to move on for regular football.

      You could probably also let Shaqiri go and give Wilson a chance. Frees up a few mil to put towards something else.

      Once Covid restrictions are relaxed and fans back in the stadium that gives the club a good ÂŁ130m a season to spend on players - imagine that 🙄

      Do you remember when the club sold Keegan and bought Kenny or when they sold Rush and bought Beardsley and Barnes - what did you think when the club was selling players and using the funds to buy others to replace them

      Wilson won't ever be good enough for the Premier League. Good technically but physically he's miles off which shows in how he drifts out of matches for long periods.

      I'd clear out the attack - Origi, Shaqiri, Wilson and Minamino out, bring in a top attacker and give some minutes to Elliott as well in a similar way to how Foden was bedded in at City a couple of years ago.

      So nothing going on with transfers then.

      International competitions always slow down transfer activity until after the players teams are out

      In the words of Mr Lennon "dream, dream away".

      That was decades before bullshit and NESV were even contemplated, LFC then was all conquering and run like football team not a building society.

      So what you’re saying is - it was ok to do it 30 years ago but it’s not ok to do it now 🤷‍♂️


      So you are ok with one set of owners doing it but not when the Americans do it


      I wonder what your feelings would be if FSG were from Liverpool 🤔

      Can we at least keep the circular FSG debate to the right thread, I thought we were talking about actual transfer rumours in here.

      This all day long. Also don't see us replacing Gini, and wouldn't be surprised if we see Trent or Bobby drop into midfield for a time at some point next season.

      Given the diminished role he would have, i think Wilson could serve that role, in addition to getting another better player for up front to take Origi's spot.

      I think Wilson will be good enough for the Premier League, which is not the same as saying he will be good enough for Liverpool FC. He will be sold on to a Brighton or a Leeds and will have a good career at that level as he is a fairly good little player but the odds must be against him making it at LFC.

      The club made a profit in 1977, just after being European Champions. It was criminal! They ended up European Champions again, but........... :D
