KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Transfers seem wrong.. and we won't catch United!

b0ll0cks to them Growls. If they want to come on here with all this nonsense we're spending to much money and we couldnt win a raffle they should be grown up enough to take the stick that comes with it.

I for one cant wait for the season to start with our new look team with kenny at the helm. Win lose or draw at least we've spent money on players and given it ago.

bring on the new season, with fresh faces around and some of the deadwood out. The King will get this team performing

They weren't happy when we didn't spend money, and they're unhappy because of the way we're spending it. I also think it's laughable the success of our transfer summer is considered to be in jeopardy because 2 potentially over-hyped targets went to the scum, 1 for no more than his value 3 or 4 seasons ago, and the other rumoured to have failed the same medical that passed Hargreaves. How is this bad news for LFC, when targets in whom we have greater interest are still available, we seem to have money to burn, and Man City seem slow to act?

‘We underperformed more than any of the top 6 last season, the first half was a disaster. ‘

But we were expected to underperform – whereas the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal and even the two Manchester teams weren’t

Agger and Auellio haven’t been in our starting 11 for quite a while. They are good enough but their constant injuries have curtailed their input for the last couple of seasons at least. There’s no other way Skrtel would have started every league game as in the first half of the season – as with many of our players – he was pretty awful

We all know that had Hodgson or even Rafa stumped up £20m for Henderson and/or £36m for Carroll, they would be absolutely slaughtered on here but because it’s Kenny he gets a pass.

I’m a massive fan of Kenny – which Liverpool isn’t? – but fairs fair

Besides, this deal has Comoli written all over it

‘Still too much time to make evaluations on transfer performance over one early move. And even losing the last 2, the run to get there was terrific, it doesn't make it all moot we lost the last 2. To be honest I am one of those who doesn't like the Europa league due to the travel hindrance versus reward in relation to the premiership. Once the European market opens, then we will see how much we do. Got to give them at least one full run in the summer market before we crucify people over lack of ambition/quality. ‘

It would have been terrific if not for those last two games., You could even argue it showed us as complete bottlers – because unlike Tottenham we actually wanted that Europa league place – even though some of our fans like to pretend otherwise

You’re right though – it is too early to make a full evaluation of transfer performance but it has to be noted that what we are currently hearing ought to be enough to properly depress any Liverpool fan.

Think about it. N’Zogbia preferred to go back to a club where he is despised by most of the fans and players alike, Phil Jones chose to be 4th pick in Man Utd’s team rather than fight for a place in the starting 11 here, and Ashley Young reportedly laughed when he heard that Liverpool wanted to sign him. None of these are top players playing for top clubs and yet the idea of playing for Liverpool repulsed them so much that they went elsewhere.

And these are only the ones we know about. I reckon it will be a summer of knock back after knock back

I don’t see how any fan can be happy about that

‘But lets keep in mind perhaps Aqua wanted to go home after taking one look at Woy's dump and chump system. ‘

As I understood it that wasn’t the case. Hodgson was instructed by the chimps (and i mean chimps not chumps) that owned the club at the time to get Aquilani off the wage bill. After an injury-ravaged season in which he hardly featured (although when he did he looked pretty decent) Alberto felt he had everything to prove to Liverpool fans and wanted the opportunity to do so. With his wife and newly-born kid not wanting to exchange Rome for Liverpool and having spent a fairly successful season in Serie A, Aquilani would clearly rather stay in Italy – but that wasn’t the case when he was shipped out on loan at the start of last season. He felt he had a point to prove and I for one think he would have proved it

Letting him go for anything less than £15m and spending £20m on the far inferior Henderson is the type of bizarre business decision you’d expect from Abramovich or the vile Mike Ashley.

because they don't any british players they probably wanna get rid of a few. they want hamsik, lavezzi, sanchez, cavani and the likes, so we won't see much from city until the of july im guessing

How do you know we where even after Nzogbia? He hasnt gone anywhere yet either.

Do you believe everything you read in the tabloids?

That theory on Aqua makes sense. But odd considering Cole was paid more per week if I remember. Another strike for the chimps on their tombstone i guess. God I hope he does come back.

That is some negativity you got going there Jim. Those examples you have listed are Media driven stories, which you seem to have taken a gulable approach to:

- Why would Ashley Young agree personal terms in January and also agree personal terms over the last few weeks then laugh at us, never happened he just seen more money and champions league

- N'Zogbia has not stated at all that he wants to go back to Newcastle, it was media yet again. Plus he is not one of our top targets, more like a fall back target

- You are true about Jones being 4th choice at the scum, but may be Jones has a huge belief in himself that he can oust smalling and Evans and be third choice behind Ferdinand and Vidic.

Nothing indicating that any of the targets think that this club is repulsive. Very negative

Jones would have been 4th back with us too. I can understand why he'd go to scum unfortunately.

N'zogbia isn't exactly known for his tact, hence the reason the Newcastle supporters dislike him. He would have been a bad choice, plus did we really want him?

Young is a United supporter, so that might be the reason he laughed, but I haven't heard of his laughing notion.

I read that on here
