False Economy - A Liverpool Transfer Shambles

Have we signed anyone who has performed better in there positions? Scratch that, forget Salah because he's been a complete waste of money but Mkhitaryan and Willian would have added a sizable more strength to the squad IMO. Seem like the sort of players who would flourish for us.

You would hope they would flourish for us - thing is how much we should expect for sinking 30-35 million plus 120k pw wages on them.

Chelsea, Man City, United, PSG and so on are in a position where they can spend that kind of cash on taking a risk. Im not saying Mkhitaryan and Willian aren't good players but, for us, would they be good enough for the money? I'm not sure they would.

For that kind of outlay we would be looking for Suarez / Sanchez / Aguero / Costa levels of performance - ideally with a good injury record. All those players we were in for at about the right price.

I get what you're saying about Salah 7KK7 but when push comes to shove - it's hard to judge how he may have performed here and... he was as cheap as F**k anyhow - the cheapest of the bunch and nothing more than a Chelsea squad filler.

The fact that Salah was, in reality, the only one we had a chance of signing anyhow, says it all.

Exactly BBB they did the same with Marko Marin, who we were supposedly after for ages according to the press anyway. I think he only played about 6 games for them .... Chelsea squad player or Liverpool star signing

"Most of all, we want to win. That ambition drives every decision." - John W Henry

So there you have it - the decisions to buy Aspas, not Costa; Alberto, instead of Mkhitaryan and Balotelli & Lambert instead of Sanchez, Muller or Reus [for e.g.] were 'driven' by FSG's 'ambition' to win.

 

Man United in for him as well, according to other reports.

The mancs are ''in'' for at least four different players a day according to the media, today it's Ronaldo (Daily Star), Brazilian striker Douglas Coutinho (Daily Mail), Winston Reid (Times), Christopher Kramer (Daily Star), Saido Berahino (Shitrag).
Complete bollox from the manc based media.

It's probably way more than 4 players, if you trawl all the transfer sites. Fans doing love eating every spoonful of sh*t the media serve up.
