If Real Madrid come in for him and if he isn't tied down he will go. He's a professional footballer with an agent, younger and more impressionable than most.

Need I go on.

Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.

But isn't that the moneyball concept? Use statistical analysis to find undiscovered bargains, develop them and then sell on at a profit. Have they departed from that concept?


Who told you that this was the Moneyball concept?

Who have they done this with then?

You could probably count Suarez as the first, and then we had the clear out of the high earners. And if any of the hopefuls come good (big if imo) they're likely to follow.

Suarez was hardly bargain basement at £23m when we bought him was he? And the high earners weren't high performers so why not clear them out? You're just trying to grab onto something to knock FSG about. Yore getting as bad as Stan!

As bad as Stan? In that case I've got a good tutor as he makes more sense than most imo. Anyway the difference between 23m and 75m is very much part of the moneyball business, a cool 52m profit taking there...not bad if you can get it, unless you're an LFC fan of course, then according to Rodgers it leaves you "broken"

With today's inflated transfer market Suarez would probably be £40m even £50m today equivalent of the £23m FSG won't pay that today Suarez was probably the last star player we ever sign under this lot.

The point to this thread is that we're now selling Sterling to make a profit is it not? Is he being sold? Have they made an offer? Is this 'money ball' bulcrap you seemed to think you know about because someone told you in place? No is the answer.

Jesus. Such a doom and gloom nothing is good about the club view of things. I don't know why you bother!

Are you referring to me ? When did I say I knew about this moneyball none sense I have seen the film that's about it. If you are the expert suggest you advise Liverpool FC looks like they need it this season
