Yeah, fair enough. I guess it doesn't matter how much we get so long as we get the required players in.
Incidentally Sky are also reporting it at £64.3M
Sky would, let's be honest.
🤢
Who's that? Seen him somewhere before.
Why would they?
Come on mate, no need for that.
Why wouldn't they? They don't really shy away from a reason to make us look like we've fucked up, it's easier to cherry pick the lower amount because it makes for a story.
Can't see what they would have to gain from that. £64m is still a massive fee for any player, makes him the 3rd most expensive player ever.
I'm sure most journalists just go on what their sources are telling them.
Sky is part of the Murdoch empire, which has a massive stake in your club.
Because they are going by Spanish reports?
just hope we don't do a spurs with 8 players or so in the 11-18m bracket (exc Lamela).
re: suarez cash, Let's go for 2 or 3 players 30m+. Real quality in depth and use our youth players as back-up.

Hang on a sec, the transfer is not on Binny's thread - maybe there is hope? I won't believe he has gone until the transfer has been Binnyfied.
£30m doesn't guarantee success, people need to forget the fees, would you rather have Sturridge and Coutinho, or Ozil? It's largely irrelevant and doesn't automatically equal success, people seem to have rose tinted glasses when it comes to anyone being touted for £30m of more.
Markovic will cost in the region of £20-£25m while Lallana cost more or less the same. Yet people seem to discount that because one is young and the other is less fancied because he's English and didn't come from the continent. It's daft thinking.
I get the sentiment, we don't want to be a Spurs, but we still had to build a squad to challenge on more fronts, so picking up the odd lower priced players was essential.
Wonder who wrote that for him?
It would be nice to know what Rodgers really thinks about it all, probably be a long time until we find that out.
Barca must be devastated
Reading between the lines, you could probably get an idea. Stuff about how Suarez himself would acknowledge that he's improved with us (i.e. we helped made him what he is), the sustained period of time the club tried hard to keep him (i.e. we're really tried of this shit show again), how Suarez and his family are friends of the club (rather than members of the extended Liverpool family), and the line about no individuals being bigger than the club.
I suppose there's this excellent aspect of Suarez he really loves when working with him, and then there's this circus sideshow that keeps happening and really tests his patience.
Yeah, its not hard to imagine really, basically along the lines of your last sentence.
If he had the choice to keep him do you think he would have?
I'd be tempted to say 100% he would, because some guys coach a lifetime and don't get to manage this sort of talent, and here he is with guys like Suarez, Sturridge and Gerrard to work with. Despite all the shit circus around the player, I'd think he'd have had time for him. It's a bit like how Ferguson dealt with some of his star players. Until they were crocked or out of form, then he kicked them out and thereby exacted his revenge.
But I'm not sure Rodgers ever had much of a choice. The die was probably cast when the new contract was signed.
I know I am.
Prick
