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

So where you happy when we didnt have any money to spend?

Samba and Nelson more like it,

I was happy when we had money to spend and we spent it on the likes of Alonso, Torres, Luis Garcia - players who came with a reputation - rather than risking it on players who might come good

Whatever people say about Morres - he gave more than enough money to all his managers from Sounness to Benitez. The only time we didn't have money to spen was the last couple of years under Hicks & Gillet - because they bankrupted the club to finance their buy-out

I don't know too many people away from this site - to be honest I don't know any - who think that £20m for the likes of Jines and henderson reprersents good value fir money

But then again Liverpool fans have always been known for their love of spin, mistruths and anything that makes the club look good - and that obviously extends to paying waaay over the odds foir our transfer targets this summer

who? what players are knocking us back left, right and centre?

you must not know anyone who knows anything about football then. and no one knew anything about alonso, reina, garcia when we signed them and torres' reputation was of a talent who was going nowhere fast his goalscoring record at atletico was okay and was considered by everybody a massive risk at 20+ million. so those players didn't come with any real reputations.

N'Zogbia for a start. He's not exactly the best player in trhe world but one I certainly beliwve could add something different to the side (and being our only natural winmger that would be something different) yet from what I've read he'd rather return to Newcastle despite having burnt his bridges with the fans after his acrimonous deoarture to Wigan

Even when he found out Newcastle weren't interested he released a comment about wanting ti move to a champoons league club. We're not in the chanpions league so he's effectively ruling himself out of a transfer to the only club who have expressed a genuine interest in him

There's Ashley Young who decided to make up a story about him being a Manb Utd to get him out of being transferred to Loiverpool, then there's Phil Jones - who his club are still negotiating with potential suitors - who goes one worst by sigfning Man Utd shirts, such is his desperation not to end up at Anfield

'Spin' it however you like but I can't any other time in my life where Liverpool has seemed such an unattractive destination to so players who are little better than average

Of course it would be great if we could turn round and say f*** em all - like in the old days - but as this year's transafer news has painstakingly shown, we don't seem to be a big enough club any more to be able to afford to do that

That ought to depress any liverpool fan

That's not exactly treue though is it

Reina was rated as one of the best keepers in the Spanish league - and was one of the pivotal players in getting Villareal into the champions league for the first time in their history

It was a similar with Alonso at Real Socediad and everyone who had seen Spain play knew that torres was one of the most highly rated young strikers in Europe

and Luis Garcia used to start for Barcelona

Even if your utter falsehoods were true, these aforementioned players had a f*** site more potential than the likes of henderson and Jones and if yoiu dusagree with that you're a liar
