Also if Sanchez is being classed as a striker, you can bring Sterling into our list, which makes it look much better.
'In reality' that 200k a week freed up by Suarez's departure was swallowed up (and more) by a raft of new players (Lallana/Markovic/Can/Lambert/Moreno/Manquillo/Lovren) earning a collective whole lot more than 200k a week.
We've also got a stadium expansion to finance.
It's not rocket science for fucks sake..
I think people's attitudes to signings (the need for them to be marquee, inspiring, statements of intent etc) is a direct result of Sky's coverage of the sport.
The entertainment v sport argument that was made in another thread essentially
Saving money for Pogba, I like it.
There is also the FFP situation to be aware of
Yep. We are being manipulated by a constant media that demands entertainment. That's why dickheads like Mourinho are tolerated and why the twats on Talksport like Durham and Cundy are encouraged. It's so called entertainment.
Just give me 3 points every week. That's the entertainment I want.
Am I reading too much into that or is they Burnley chairman saying that while Ings won't leave and then return on loan there may be some sort of other type of deal possible.
Say Ings joining Liverpool with Lampert going in the other direction on loan?

Burnley chief executive Lee Hoos insists Danny Ings will not sign for#LFC this month and be loaned back to the Turf Moor.
James Pearce @JamesPearceEcho 6s7 seconds ago
Hoos on potential#LFC deal for Ings: “This type of move would violate Premier League rule V7 regarding transfers so simply cannot happen."
The rule states: "A Temporary transfer to a club may not take place in the Transfer Window in which the Transfer or Club acquired the Player's registration."
Doesn't that always happen though? Like when Utd signed Zaha, there's a few others that I can't think of off the top of my head
That would be a one helluva a signing.. would make a huge statement of intent..
Annoying statement.. Seems odd that these so called Footy Journos havent picked up on that given it is their full time job to know the ins and outs of transfers.. At least it would be if they were diligent in their job and not just copy catting rumours on twitter.

But expenditure on stadium improvements is exempt from FFP.
If we had a strikeforce next season of Sturridge, Ings, Austin and Origi I would be extremely worried and you should all be too.
