Under soil heating.
Thank God that's over.

Sick of checking the twitter updates for something interesting and constantly seeing boring, insignificant Liverpool shit
Don't think there's much of that really. It's mostly lesser known players to clubs on the continent that nobody gives a shit about. Liverpool have been quite quiet as far as rumours go, can only really think of this Salah one.

After all the rumors about us and City trying to buy the world Liverpool come out of nowhere and spend 50mil first. :D Act, Woody.

We've spend £37 so far and City have eclipsed £50m easily since the Ederson signing.

I'm sure you'll get plenty of Liverpool fans having wanks about Mane and Salah by the wings but I don't think they are going to make much of a difference when teams are still crammed on their own 18 yard box and they struggle to break teams down.

What Liverpool need is a Isco but thankfully don't have the funds to get someone like that

Flopped under Mourinho and his career at Chelsea likely tells us that he is lazy or mentally weak, probably the latter. That said, Klopp is the right kind of managers for mental midgets as he gets the best out of them with his wacky persona. They always bottle it in cup finals though, coincidence?

Good signing for Liverpool. Scores and creates a ton plus decent dribbling. Only just turned 25 as well.

Still, Fabinho at Old Trafford next season was looking like a distinct possibility, until that fateful day on the 15th of June when it appeared the club had briefed English journalists with the information Mourinho had very little interest in the Brazilian.

The five stages of grief set in.

Denial was the first, with many refusing to believe Mourinho could not be interested in such a great, versatile prospect.

Anger, as fans saw the names Eric Dier and Nemanja Matic linked with Manchester United.

Bargaining, as they looked at alternatives for Fabinho that weren’t named Eric or Nemanja.

Depression, when some account claimed Fabinho had chosen Paris Saint-Germain instead.

And just when acceptance was rearing its underwhelming yet weirdly satisfying head, Corriere dello Sport wade in with a brief yet to the point article, reigniting all the hope that Manchester United fans had worked so hard to suppress in one swift act of typemanship.
This guy must be a Caf poster... How else can he know exactly what I went through these last few weeks

Do these geezers get any real benefit for the amount of crap they have to read through from our fans? We throw the term clickbait around a lot but I would avoid us like the plague. Crazy fecks.

Like Cuadrado, Salah wasn't really given much of a chance to get a lengthy run in our side under Mourinho. Didn't simply fail due to lack of ability like many seem to think. Clearly a very good player and I think he's a good signing for Liverpool.

Really became a pattern with Mourinho and the wide players we signed/had. Schürrle, Salah, Cuadrado, Moses, De Bruyne. All players deemed not good enough by Mou and most have gone on and improved significantly elsewhere and in Moses' case right here at Chelsea.

It's like the complete opposite of Ferguson who would seemingly give any winger worth a few quid a run of games.

Interesting. Makes you wonder then how Perisic will turn out if we do end up signing him.

Perisic is the prototypical Mourinho wide player, so very well I think.

Transfer bans, unpaid taxes and a fecking stupid television deal that suits nobody outside of the top few clubs and Spainsh football is in a complete mess.

So still no plan B for Liverpool then?
Hmmm. Did you watch the final month or so of the season? Barely conceded a goal. Approached games with attritional discipline. Won ugly several times. Team set up to be rigid. Hardly the plan A of pre-Christmas. Very different in fact.

Did Klopp threaten to leave unless they backed him this summer or something? Why are they suddenly willing to spend huge sums like the rest of the big boys?

Let me guess, isn't it because the only team in top 6 interested in him would be Arsenal?
happily take him in addition to Salah but no for the fee he'd likely cost and having 3 wingers going to the AFCON would be troublesome.

Probably because they know they can't win trophies unless they keep up with the other big fish in the pond.

What's the point of getting a top manager if you don't back him in the transfer market or provide him with mediocre players year after year? No one can work wonders... The past season has probably made it clear to the owners that we could be able to compete for the title or other trophies if they get Klopp the players he wants. If they don't invest in the team this season, they never will.
