KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Can't understand our transfer policy - Madness!!!

1st January today. I am sure we will sign at least 3 players before this month is up and Mata is one of them.

I don't get it either. I cannot for the life of me understand why we paid 55 million for 2 players that haven't even really proved themselves enough to merit such hefty price tags. And as you say haggle for days over players costing a damn sight less yet have more experience.

I'm thinking perhaps they're waiting for tomorrow when the whole european market opens up. Cheaper and better players will become available. The bidding really starts then. Let's hope so anyway.

OP,
If the Mata thing doesn't come good there are going to be a fair few pis*ed off fans and rightly so.

That's the thing

I can at least sort of understand why we paid so much for Carrol - last day of window, needed a replacement for Torres, had to be a big player with the £50m we had etc etc - but not Henderson who on the back of a pretty dreadful season at Sunderland stood out in the U21 tournament as possibly the weakest player - certainly for England - which contrasted with united's new ourchase - Phil Jones - who looked good

I wouldn't have been happy if we paid £8m. Add to that the fact that the club are prepared to let merieless go for less money (rather than give hom the extra few quid he was promised by the last owners), and the numerous targets who have decided to ply their trade elsewhere (even if its Sunderland) it's hard to avoid the conclusion that whoever is in charge of our transfer dealings kmows absolutely nothing about football whatsoever

And i thought you in Newzealand was hours ahead of us here in blighty! not months! JAUARY?!

OP,

Recently posted in a similar vain. I am willing to keep an open mind, but the signs here look like a club making a mess of things yet again. We want players in and settled for pre-season so a unit and understanding can be devloped for the new camapign. Yet again United show the way......... 3 quality buys and done and dusted for the off.

If the Mata thing doesn't come good there are going to be a fair few pis*ed off fans and rightly so.

So what we can expect is the dead wood won't go (nice earners) under contract why should they? Stand-off and panicky bargain basement European punt or two?

Maybe they're actually 6 months behind and still demanding the head of hodgson?

The fans have no right to be p1ssed off just because the players they want don't get signed.
