its nothing to do with liverpool, its to do with clubs with far too much money, taking transfers to insane levels

So pretty much Liverpool then or is 35m for Carroll, 18m for Henderson and 20m for Downing sane in your eyes?

 

[Mosh]

Lucas is overrated he's not worth 35m pounds but meh

(and this is from a Sao Paulo supporter)

 

[phalanx]

more sane then 35 million on a 19 year old.
but liverpool didn't start it, it was the stupid billionares playing fantasy football for real.
those players far more established then moura

 

[Dubby]

Might as well blame it on the Arabs since they're the ones that bought clubs like Man City and PSG and brought the trend along.

 

[shade]

ssn just said that man utd put in a bid for rvp but are having trouble because they're trying to do business with other clubs

also carling cup -> capital one cup. i cant keep up with this shit

 

[phalanx]

CoC :D
dunno whats going on about RVP or why we spending so much on a guy with dodgey legs

i'd just like to take this moment to point out given the current exchange rate of 1.5 fergie did EXACTLY that on wayne rooney (30 mill) - and this is several years ago. i guess you're as senile as your manager!


(edit: ive actually just read that accounting for inflation it works out as 37.3mil. lol.)

 

[phalanx]

Rooney is english, and had played in the premier league. so was a known entity.
Moura isn't

 

[akuchi]

I wasn't aware Moura had been purchased by an English club or to play in the EPL.

..wow.

 

[phalanx]

I never said he was.
I said rooney was and was a safe bet at that money to be a success, Moura hasn't played in the EPL, so would be a bigger gamble at that sort of money.

But Lucas is going to play in France =/

 

[phalanx]

I KNOW.
i was aying it would be a gamble for fergie to pay that much to bring him to the PL
and besides, it was his preferance, not the cash, PSG didn't need to pay it unless that "extra" influanced the agent and familiy of course.
and Roy... why you pick sturridge and carrol.... ghaa :P

Time for a new thread, I think? 2012-13 football is about to commence with the community shield.

I know I'm late but did anyone see Glen Johnson goal vs Gomel. Cracking strike!

Yeah, Borini scored too, really excited about him.
Suarez was looking really good throughout too.


We also signed Joe Allen, meaning Gerradr wont have to play deep anymore

Gerrard
Allen-Lucas
