yesterday i chat with my mates who works in wachovia bank, new york, he knows quite lot about pool, especially about the loaning systems, coz Tom Hicks is his client.
he said the reason why LFC often buy players with high prices n sold them for very low prices is because simply we just don't have money, example:
case 1: pool can't buy barry, coz we offer 3 times installment payment (6m pound x 3 year), villa want cash,
n the result is villa sold barry to city for only 12m, coz city pay cash
case 2: we often sold players very cheap (arbeloa for 3m,etc) coz we desperately need those money to pay debts)
case 3: actually aquilani is available for 15m if we pay cash, but coz we don't have money,we pay roma 20m for 3 years (8m + 6m +6m)
that is one of reasons we can't compete with romans and the glazers
