GF and I have 90k between the two of us, it's fine. You just ignore it and they vaguely bill you once you go past a certain wage. For a few years, I was actually losing money paying into it, as I paid in less than the interest every year :D

What field are you in to get paid more in Oz?

Anything medical for a start.
 
Relax guys. You could be Polish and have guaranteed free higher education, at country's best schools. Than you'd spend 5 years getting your degree, move to UK and make a living selling donuts.

Meditate on that.

A good mix of youth players and senior players as back up would be ideal. However disagree completely with your last point, you will never ever ever ever know if a youth player is good enough if they dont get a chance. Reason why England are lagging behind with this mentality.

When you watch a player regularly, week in week out on the training pitch it gives you a very good idea if a player is good enough or has something about him

They earn the chance through this - they don't just get given the chance to shine, it comes through the hard work that none of us will see.

However, in Klopp I do think we have a manager that if those players are performing then they will be given that chance. But we need to build a good first team squad before going all or nothing with youngsters, knowing the majority will never make it

Sorry had to do a handover when I was about to reply

As Subtle alluded to it is medical, I am training to be a Learning Disability Nurse, so out there it is well paid. But then I have a psychology degree too so there is all kinds of unique specialisations to get into. Some of which are freelance then you are talking silly money. But yeah long way to go and various qualifications to attain in 5 years.
 
Just been having a discussion on 'keepers.

Apparently, aside from watching Horn at Cologne, we're getting regulars at Barca's Champions League games. Presumably for Ter Stegan. (Honestly never seen him in a full game but understand he's **** hot.). But the crux of the convo was my mate would rather us pay £7 mill. for Horn than 20 to Barca. Whereas my view has always been you can NEVER pay too much for a top quality 'keeper you're gonna' have for a decade or so. So if Ter Stegan's the man, pay out in a heartbeat. Never understood the reticence to pay for, outside of a consistent goalscorer, the single most important position on any team.

So out of interest which way do you fall on Mingler's replacement? (With the signs pointing more and more that he's done and the contract was just a financial move.)

From what i've seen and read on Timo Horn it is that his biggest weakness is his command of the area and collecting crosses... If that's in any way true its a swerve immediately. Mignolet II.

Ter Stegan is the man for me, providing we can get him.
 
Benteke narking to the media whilst away with Belgium.

Must realise his time is coming to a swift end.

Well champ, if that's the case, then why on earth don't you??

Well with Belgium's Brussels friendly naturally being cancelled after yesterday's horrific events, he's liable to home and facing the music ASAP.
 
Oh yeah, looking into Jonas Hector at Cologne, who we're reputed to be watching along with Horn all the times we go there; his size immediately strikes you. 6'1 and well built. This seem's to be a continued theme to get taller and stronger after our first two signings Grujic and Matip.

Be it him or A N Other, be nice to have that ariel presence at FB once again as we've paid heavily quite a few times in the air when or current short **** FB's Clyne and Moreno get left one-on-one the back stick, or ball's over them down the line. (Moreno in particular.).

A number of players linked including Hector, Ter Stegen, Sule, Xhaka, Gotze:

10 Liverpool targets to watch during the international break - This Is Anfield

Oh and fun fact:

The number 16 was where he was ranked out of the 20 starting Premier League keepers.

Lol. Yeah, as exemplified yet again on Sunday at Southampton, three successive shots on target, three goals go past him.

Shot stopping, supposedly one of his strengths, now no longer is.

Thanks for the reminder. Might well try catch those Germany games. What I'm reading on Hector, who now seems Low's first choice LB for the Euro's, is real intriguing.
 
If anyone has actually read the interview in full, it's actually quite a good one.

Only as good as your keeper mate. Hence why we're ****.
 
Yeah, I'll never get the resistance to splashing big money for a goalkeeper. Especially in modern football where the goalkeeper role has evolved far beyond just shot stopping. It's a complete idiocy. First thing I do in new FM save is reassess my goalkeepers. They very rarely move, and once you have a good one locked down, it's easy to keep them for a decade.
 
This a good one.... Daily Mail reporting...

PSG targeting a 45million (45 MILL!) move for Daniel Sturridge with both Cavani and Ibra likely to leave in the summer.

I saw that as well, and as much as I love Sturridge, you can't turn down that sort of fee from a foreign club given his injury history
