KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum John W Henry and FSG please fck off!

Totally agree

All deals are done on bank guarantees as nobody would carry the money around. It's more about terms of payment, they wanted all done in one go early, 15m is not ggat much, it can be done if we could do it on loans, which I suppose the owners didn't agree to.

Couldn't we write a cheque or just sent Ayre to a cash machine?

He would mess the PIN number up and it would swallow his card 5 minutes before the transfer window

No it shouldn't have come to this Red. As we have said the club have had since the summer to sort out who we needed and get the deals in place not look round and appear to panic select players and then make up a load of excuses and BS when it doesn't come off last minute.

NO DEAL: Dnipro claim Liverpool failed to provide the funds for Konoplyanka's transfer [GETTY]
The winger's club Dnipro claim the 24-year-old was set to link up with Brendan Rodgers after Liverpool agreed to meet his £15million buy-out-clause.

However, the money never arrived before the transfer deadline and the deal fell through.

Initial reports suggested the move was held up by Dnipro's billionaire owner Igor Kolomoisky, but Executive Director Andriy Rusol claims this was not the case.

He said: "The president could not keep the midfielder because his contract spelled out the specific amount of compensation.

"In fact, the British did not have time to complete the transaction. Our club could not sign the documents until our account received the money. And they did not receive anything before the deadline."

Up to the deadline we were waiting for the transfer of money from Liverpool. But this did not happen

Andriy Rusol
Rusol also criticised Ian Ayre's handling of the transfer, saying that Liverpool could have tied up the deal days before the window shut.

He said: "Igor Kolomoisky gave the go-ahead immediately. It is not our fault, Liverpool representatives could have arrived a day or two earlier.

"Up to the deadline we were waiting for the transfer of money from Liverpool. But this did not happen."

The revelation is sure to infuriate Brendan Rodgers, who also missed out on Chelsea new-boy Mohamed Salah.

The Kop boss was desperate to inject his squad with some fresh faces as they look to finish in the top four, but was offered some encouragement by Rusol who claimed that a deal for Konoplyanka could happen in the summer.

Rusol said: "Yevhen is a very strong person and a true professional. He knows that his move to a big club is only a matter of time."

This was in the express and various other papers

"Whatever frustrations I have I would never let you know," said the Reds boss.

"This is a club I want to keep together for the longer term and will never be broken by stuff written in the papers.

"If I have an issue or a problem I don't need to ring up journalists and give them snippets out there, if I have an issue I'll speak with the owner.

"I said it would've been nice to have got some reinforcements in but that wasn't to be the case and so yesterday has no consequence now.

"I've got to work with the players I have here. We have 14 games to go, we are still in a great position and the squad is very focused on our objectives so I can't afford to think about what we could or couldn't have done."

here come the cracks.
