Interestingly, it seems it was Klopp himself who declined to pay the asking price - So hopefully he has targets either lined up or already in mind for the summer

Wouldn't pay too much attention to that. Klopp doesn't get involved in fees so it would be a massive U-turn for him to do that.

Say's it all. If he's willing to go to China chasing the money at 26, then it's a blessing we wouldn't meet Shaktar's demands.

Not the type of character you want on your team. Let alone as a focal point.

Lot of players join clubs for money. doesn't mean they are any less professional. we really need to move away from this high horse stuff on money. Fooling ourselves if we think every player comes to our clubs because of their names.
 
Most players in the league have come for the money. Doesn't make them any less than those who claim to play for the shirt.

I think the point was a more experienced, proven goalscorer more than the high fee.

The almost certainly commands a high fee and competition to sign that player though.. Which is where the problem lies

He wasn't negotiating it, he simply said a yes or no at the end with FSG prepared to pay the asking price

I couldn't care less if a player came to Liverpool for money. If it made the team better than that's all that matters.

The 'I am glad we didn't sign the money-grabber' Is an old-fashioned view which is quite outdated now
 
Leaflet's being handed out the ground/ pubs tomorrow from Spion Kop 1906. There can be NO excuse for not walking. We need to show solidarity together. But we know many won't and that's a continued major problem in itself.

Biggest game of the year by FAR for me tomorrow. Not on the park in terms of points or performance. But off it with the first shots of a new battle being fired across a new set of American's bows. The club started down the slippery path years back of eroding everything we hold dear about Liverpool FC. Slowly but surely FSG and Ayre are putting the final nail in that. Customers not supporters and a price hike out of all reality to both where the team currently are and the mega riches flooding in from elsewhere is the final straw. It's our duty to let them know we won't tolerate this any longer. This will get messy but we've been down this road before.

Forza 77!

Again, I'm completely with you on that.

The fact he's gone chasing that money in China, in the prime of his career, after everything else he 'claimed' is why I'm glad he's not here.

Exactly. there will have been players at United for who we are, players because we were the best, players because we paid the best. What matters to me is that whatever their motives, they are committed and professional.

It's partly the reason Liverpool have struggled so much in recent years. Yes, we have spent the transfer fee, but our wage structure is a joke compared to that of our top 4 rivals.

I'm sure putting an extra 50k on Willian, Mkhitaryan, Sanchez etc contracts would have made them think very carefully about their next move
 
Despite being told yesterday that TV would bring in £8.3 billion over the next three years, Premiership clubs rejected a proposal to cap away ticket's at £30. (14 votes are needed for a proposal to be passed.). It's a secret ballot at that so individual clubs don't even have the balls to let it be known they're the ones repeatedly raping fans.

It will be back on the PL agenda in March, but to every PL club that voted against it, no doubt my own included, you're all an absolute shithouse disgrace. Enough is ENOUGH!

It's frustrating that it continues, but hardly surprising - exactly the same with our ticket prices.

Why would clubs with owners more money minded vote against it when the stadiums continue to be full each week

They wouldn't. But it's no reason to say why many more fans being priced out for the new breed that can afford it and don't care should just lie down and take it.

Hopefully, if more and more clubs choose to fight back, the continued outright greed to exploit the hand that feeds when there is absolutely no reason or justification for it off the back of the mega billion TV deal will prove to be the tipping point.
 
Texeira on his move: “Let’s put it like this: everyone always knew that I wanted to stay in Europe and move to the English Premier League club.
“But, unfortunately, all the proposals that came from them, were somewhat windy and did not contain anything concrete.
“Now I have received a serious offer from China. Of course, I’m moving there.
“At this stage, the Brazilian national team will move away from me a little further. But let’s see what happens in the future.”


Slightly different from his video claims 9 days ago huh?

If anything, his claims seem exactly the same. He wanted to go to Europe but all the offers that came in weren't up to scratch and Shakhtar made it clear that they wouldn't take any less for him. Basically, you made eyes at him, then weren't willing to cough up the relevant amount even though he wanted to move. It just reinforces how dumb the club were in trying to **** with Shakhtar, and the fact that he was yours if you hadn't tried to play them for chumps.

Dumb and played them for chumps is a bit strong - It's called negotiating.

On many occasions Liverpool have been guilty of negotiating silly amounts, but this wasn't one of them. It was worth negotiating and considering the player came out so openly in favour of a move gave us added incentive

Amazing reaction.

The arrogance of the club through this puppet continues to astound. What frigging World do they live in? (Rhetorical, as it's not one you or I live in.).

It's PRECISELY because of that you jumped up little gobshite.

This man is a ****** *****. The spin coming out the club would make the Tory party jealous! Telling the press they couldn't ask Klopp any questions today on the protest was another shithouse move knowing what his reaction would of been. The Boston propaganda machine is in full flow.

Yeah, this ****'s gonna' get ugly.
