Declaring interest in the player and not backing it up with suitable offer. Typical Liverpool but usually end up paying huge money, this time didn't.

Also I thought Liverpool were back among the big teams by beating Chelsea for this signing :P , at least was told by some here.

For once, I think Liverpool handled it quite well.

They were interested in the player, started low and then tried to meet in the middle - Nothing could be done so we moved on. I would have loved Teixeira at Liverpool, but 38mil is very steep.
 
Ugly, rainy day.

Hope we beat Sunderland. But honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if we somehow failed to beat either them or Villa the next week. But won the replay down at West Ham. Until Phil, Origi and Sturridge get back, it's all on whether Firmino is on it or not as to whether we score any goal. (Singular. Let's not go getting silly with anything more.).

But the game is secondary to me to sending the first public notice to FSG that this **** will no longer be tolerated. I just hope there's enough walk out on 77 minutes to make it seriously media newsworthy and make both Boston and more so the sponsors sit up at the negative publicity. This could really be the start of something again. Not just at ours but across the board in football. People said it was fruitless when the SOS formed and we went to war with Hicks and Gillett. That had changed by the end of it. So if more and more think of their fellow fan today and remind Boston of the power we can have as one, that we won't sit and let them continue to rape us and our fellow supporters blind in times of such mega riches in the game; then we could be onto something again.

What we don't need is a return to the Hicks/ Gillett fight of fan against fan, and the toxic atmosphere in the ground that produced. You just hope people remember that and what can be achieved when you have strength in unity.

Most important game of the season. But not on the pitch.

SUPPORTERS NOT CUSTOMERS!

No. You didn't do well. You identified him as someone who will improve your team but made low ball bid and lost him.

Absolute rubbish!

first offer of 24.8mil, second offer closer to 30mil... If that's low-balling then there is something seriously wrong in the world. There was only 8million apart in valuation and Liverpool didn't think he was worth it.

I am not entirely sure what the problem seems to be from some fans on rival teams

Didn't their CEO openly say our last offer was £34 million plus £2 million in potential add ons?

Terribly hard trying to deal with Russina/ Ukranian mobsters. (Which in effect most of them are.).

Still not forgotten Donetsk and their owner turning around and refusing to sign the papers after we'd met the release clause they put into his contract on the winger who's name escapes me. That one beggared even more belief that they could get away with it.

I don't think anyone has a problem with your failed bid.

With all the TV money, if Liverpool thought he was not worth the extra 8 million then it's a mistake if they identified him as someone who will improve their team.

Rival fans are just enjoying some of the hilarious U turns made by LFC fan/fans.

It very rarely works like that unless money is not an issue

If that was the case, then why do most clubs not just pay up for all targets that a club identifies if they think it will make them stronger?

Because players aren't available all the time, when they do clubs usually pay up and get it done.

do they? Nobody will know the exact figure as this goes on behind closed doors, but I would be surprised if most transfers went through at the original asking price.

Transfers would be very simple if clubs just 'paid up'

Like you said, the manager made the decision to pull the plug. It's his squad he's building and he knows what he wants and their worth. It get's out of control and he moves on to the next one. Obviously all his long term targets where unattainable this window so he's not been panicked into paying either over the odds or buying for the sake of buying in what is in effect an evaluation/ no pressure year for him and has conserved his budget to add to the summer one.

Aside from coming in with such a low initial offer (have to slightly disagree with you there mate. There's bargaining and there's a £14 million difference), can't for once blame FSG or Ayre for how this one went. It was always going to be murky regardless given the nature of the club/ region/ owner.
 
This was Liverpool's captain earlier liking an article on the walkout.

It's now unliked.

Club pressure on him? Boston propaganda in full flow.

No Klopp. Suffered an appendicitis.

Or at least that's the official word. I reckon he's just taking the walkout to a new level by not going at all! :P.

You posted the figures mate, I was just making point based on that.

It's very important to sign the players you think will prove the team, especially in PL because every team will be loaded with money and more often than not PL teams sign their targets.
 
Firmino continues to be our best player... Very much looking forward to Coutinho and Sturridge coming back to support him!
 
The 77min couldn't work any better.

Also 2 shot on goal, 2goals again. Maybe we should try playing without a gk.
