But how do we know what a player's natural position is? The coach has a much better than we do as he sees them in training every day. Just because fifa/football manager says a player is an "AMC", it doesn't make it so. And Emre Can......people on here insist that BR is a fool for playing him in defence when they insist he is a midfielder!


We know a players natural position because hes been playing there for his previous club before signing for another club. So why would sign a DMF if you really need one and play him as a winger. Isn't why we sign a player, for that specific position.

Doesn't matter what position they play BR will play them as a right wing back and say they are outstanding

Which is why BR should be taking all the blame, because players are not playing to their strength and potential. How will Lazar for example come on and make a difference as a wingback if he can't defend.

Exactly it's a package deal in it ! I have said before you could offer 10,20 mil above anyone else but if you haven't sorted the personal terms (wages) it won't make a brass razoo's difference
If FSG mean only in transfer fees and not wages well that's not competing at all


I think the Michael Owen transfer to Newcastle proves this statement incorrect, we offered £8mil which Real Madrid were going to accept and then Newcastle blew us out of the water offering £17mil! Its up to the selling club who they deal with and they will always accept the higher transfer offer! Liverpool should have demanded Sanchez, Pedro and whoever else they were interested in before allowing Suarez to even speak to Barcelona.

I'm not so sure, the buying or selling club can force the players hand by refusing to sanction a transfer or by paying him off, like we should have done with Borini bearing in mind how little we have used him this season.

OK then. So we offered £8m and Newcastle £17m. Do you think we'd have got Owen if we offered £100k a week and they offered £75k a week? Real Madrid would take a £9m hit!!
