A player comes in, a player goes out. FSG are getting on my nerves, might as well have the cowboys back. Penny snatching, cutting the wage bill, no new stadium as promised. Everything is being done on the cheap. Well it would be kind of pointless to keep all the players...we would have a squad of 100.

It's simply replacing the old with the new, or trading in for a better model. Some call it an "upgrade". Me, I just call it good business.

Improving the contract of a player, play him a few games and then send him on loan a season later...is this good business according to you? I wonder why Benitez is expected to get better out of him and not BR.

Yes, tying the player down to a longer contract increases his sell on value, loaning him out then nullifies the wages you gave him as an increase.
So, you agree to increase his wages from 10 to 20 over a period of 2 years. You then pay him 20 for 1 year, and send him on loan for the other year. Effectively, you had the player at your disposal for a year, you increased his sale value by tying him down with a new contract, and you send him out onloan to give himmore gametime and further increase his value.
Now, as far as Benitez raising his value more than BR. Perhaps because under Benitez he will be a starter whereas under BR he wouldn't be.
So yes, it sounds like good business to me.

So yes, it sounds like good business to me. Only if his value increases at the other club. A good business would be to increase his value at LFC, you should not increase the wages of a player and stop using him after a couple of months. Not it looks like we are relying on RB to increase the value of our players. FSG might as well get him to coach LFC.

Its not quite that simple though Vish. If Skrtel's attributes dont suit our style of play but they do suit Napoli's then its logical he will get more gametime there. With more gametime his form will most probably improve and his value will rise. I cannot see him warming the bench at Napoli. Either way, does anyone know whether this deal has been confirmed or is it still rumour?

Rafa certainly saw us coming and he's played us perfectly. 2 full International players with Champions League experience on loan at no cost to his team apart from wages and a small fee. Who shall we give them next, how about Agger or Lucas, FSG what do you think.

Yeah I just don't get it. Especially considering the whole world knows how much Napoli have just received for Cavani. If we'd just sold somebody for £55million every club we approached over any player would absolutely pull our pants down over the value, yet we seem to be happy to give players away! Madness.
