Liverpool related transfer speculation

VDB doesn't count as he was an academy signing.

& during his 5 year stay, never once played in the league or europe.

What are we doing here?
 
And technically - because you didn’t specify in detail (cause you don’t do detail)… we SIGNED Kabak on loan.

I’d let you off on that one though, because I’m na ce like that.

And also technically there would have been numerous youth players we “signed” etc.

That’s one… hmmm… a little more debatable.
 
No one can prove Davies existed, so he doesn't count.

& even before Leoni it was still 1 CB in 7 years.

Arsenal have signed 7 in the same time, it's probably why their defence looks so much better than ours the last few years.

Yeah constant rotation of centre halves is a hallmark of all excellent defences.

Ok… so if you select a period of time to specifically suit your point and then add in some other fanciful rules to rule out every other signing that disproves your argument thereby warping reality… then yes, in your little fantasy… you are correct.
 
Liverpool's record between 2018 and 2025: 2 Prem titles, 1 CL, 2 FA Cups, 2 Carabao Cups, 1 Club World Cup, 2 UEFA Super Cups.

Arsenal's record over the same period: 1 FA Cup, 2 Community Shields.

It's facts.

Absolutely.

Not that we and Arsenal were swimming in the same ocean at the time but yes those are the facts, could've had a lot more success in there too if we went about our ways differently but that doesn't matter now. Mistakes happen and it's all in the past, I hope anyway.....we're about a week away from going into the season 3 players short.
 
That's all I wanted to hear, it didn't need all the prior dross.

A man that simply states the facts can never be anything but correct.

I know you have only like to hear the bits you like.

Happy to have helped.

For a fact to be a fact it actually has to be a fact - you can pretend and want something to be a fact all you like - but it isn’t.

That’s a fact, by the way… in case, you know, you need an example to ponder.

What a shambles we are - if only we could be more like Arsenal.

Arsenal have won 0 trophies in the last 7 years, where as we have won, 2 league titles, 2 league cups, 1 FA Cup, 1 Super Cup and 1 Club World Cup. Let the summer transfer window close before panicking. Isak and Guehi are in my view likely to be done.
 
Newcastle will be doing all the Stoke-ing tonight, I suspect.
TBH I'm not how much this saga will affect the (Newcastle) players. Isak's not part of the training squad so it's like he's moved on already. Players are very used to transfers in/out twice a year now, and unless you came from a top level team then that means you've seen your best players leave numerous times. Their own name will be on the list sooner rather than later.

No doubt the crowd will be baying and that may up the team's energy levels, but I don't see why there would be any other aggression above the normal intensity for a match of this stature. None of these events affects, or is a slight on, them personally.

I've seen a few quotes for a Newcastle forum and they are frothing at the mouth will rage. It's a weird level of anger.

It is so strange. It's another prime example of how the media can easily dupe people by whipping up complete bullshit, bit disappointing really that in this day & age people still fall for it.

All the club have done is made one bid & kept our mouths shut yet we're painted as bad guys for that. For some reason it's not acceptable to bid for this player, more than that it's outright rude/nasty/awful or whatever. Odd.

This sort of stuff happens all the time to various degrees with players. Newcastle & Wissa right now similar is going on. Gordon kicked up a fuss too although who can blame him for wanting out of Everton?
 
Basically this game became the equivalent of a Goodison derby. Neandearthal fans may just rile up some of the players to do stupid things. Ref needs to be strong and not intimidated and our forwards in particular need to not get involved. We also need VAR to operate at a sensible level in stamping down on snide behaviour that the ref doesn't see.

It reminds of the Jamal Lewis bid before we signed Tsimikas.

We're fucked
 
We had similar when we went for VVD after getting Mane from Soton.
I'm sure there was another player we got from Soton around the same time, or we were interested in
