That last sentence could have been said about the poster Spider Neil earlier in the summer
Who copies and pastes them all over the forum ?
Fake accounts? Not me
Quite, who are the desperate ones? We put a bit in for the lad, refused to go above what we thought he was worth, kept quiet about it throughout and that's it.
The only fools are the ones who've bought into the whole saga and allowed it to manifest into this titanic battle for the services of a magnificent player. When in fact it's not. It was a bid for a decent prospect who was on loan at a Premier League minnow last season. Someone no one knew or gave two fucks about a year ago.
A year ago we were interested in a similar prospect of a striker, we put an offer in, refused to up it above what we deemed him to be worth and he subsequently went to Sunderland and disappeared into obscurity. People spent the rest of the season moaning we over paid for Downing and co, then entered this Summer and spent most of it so far moaning we won't break the bank for this lad.
It's STOOOOOOPID.
yeah but Mark - what I think we are missing here is a player who has only come to attention recently due to his association with our new manager and playing well at Swansea for a season, and not taking the chance to join a club with our history and potential prospects for the future. Its a huge insult when a player from a club such as Swansea is taking his time to decide between US and Spurs - I think either we are so f*cked that this player does not think we are good enough for him OR something is seriously wrong.
Or it could just plainly be down to alot of things. Spurs are currently the same level as us, better even, can offer more money, potentially more prospects, and they are in the capital. It could just be down to money, it could just be the reality check for us that he's joined them out of what he believes is a greater chance of success.
The only positive is that we've been fairly muted about it throughout so that leaves the strength of our interest ambiguous.
When the difference is 25-30k a week it puts things into a whole other ballgame though.
We offered the same amount he accepted at Swansea. Spurs, for some reason nearly doubled that.
I do hope though that this is entirely Rodgers desicion. And that if we wanted him enough, we could have offered more.
Hopefully the 3-4 players he was talking about, will show that this transfer was an addition to rather than first priority.

Exactly Gimpy is a world class player and should demand world class football.
Insulting and embarrassing? Grow up.
Yeah well, we're currently playing at the same level as Spurs IMO.
We finished below them but they're also in the Europa League.
Squad wise they're better, so let's sign Jovetic, Belhanda and some holding midfielder and we'll surpass them.
moron by name...
I was under the impression that we almost had him, until Spurs offered him a better deal?

I don't quite get why this is such an "insulting and embarrassing " thread . Because Liverpool shouldn't lower themselves to worrying about missing out on a player the likes of sigurdsson ? or because some people have been saying "fuck him " if he wants to join spurs ? or because some people can't 'recognise' that Spurs are a better prospect than us .
Yeah it's dragged on but that's down to him , his agents and hoffenheim setting deadlines for the deal to be done . Anyway there's been fuck all else transfer wise to talk about .

I expect Spurs to trump us in the league this season as well. They've got a very good squad imo, were playing much better football last season and have a good manager who's style is suited by Spurs current squad.
That said I think we'll both make the top 4 and that's really all we need to take advantage of the lustre still associated with the name Liverpool LFC. Our current owners have alread demonstrated their commercial acumen and I think we just need to make it back to the CL to capitalise on that work.
What exactly is the truth Moron old lad?
It's not the forty six pages of blatherings posted here I can tell you that for nothing. As was said in another thread we just get a load of whipped up hysteria and bollocks from twitter and journalists making things up to earn a living.
This Gylfi thing has lost all perspective, he is possibly a good prospect, if he really was tha good do people think it would just be us an Spurs in for him, and do you thing Marcus would be letting him go for £7m.
If you think losing out to Spurs on this one is a yardstick to our credibility you are all barking up the wrong tree.
