Yet a gamble at £ 16M. No thanks for me.

A gamble at £ 5M together with 4 top class players signed is OK though.

My fear is that we will sign 4 hopefuls for a combined fee of £ 64M and that's it. frown

No thanks!


Not 100% sure but I believe France and Italy are not the same.



Of course not.

My reply was aimed at Torres who said that: "how about a trip to italy".

I have no problem with players from France and Spain. They are trained to play at a high pace as opposed to Italians, who IMO play in the slowest of the top leagues in Europe.


yeah I was joking, I was trying to emphasize the point it doesn't matter where they come from as long as they improve us/better us which believe it or not is a harder thing to do than most people think. if they make an immediate impact that is obviously the best sign

Can i again remind you guys of a certain Dele Alli for example, who was also "potential", but is now a first team regular who assist and score for Spurs. They have more creative players than us but he managed to keep them out, so that being said, if this lad is as good or maybe even better than why not take a chance on him.

our 4 hopefuls at the moment are
dahoud -20m
zilenski(?)- 10m
dembele- 16m
ter stegen- 20m
66m for those 4 is a steal plus deals for gotze and another 1 or two players! this is an exciting summer

As soon as klopp makes big money signings people will expect him to start to deliver much more, that's why I think it's suicidal to spend a lot on more big prospects. That's kind of what I mentioned, if klopp is going to sign Dembele I rather he sign him as no.10 like deli Alli is for spurs, instead of a winger, but I don't know if he'll dislodge lallana, or firmino for that matter, who can still be used as a lone striker. Who did alli keep out by the way? what creative players, as far as I'm aware, spurs still have the quality of eriksen and lamela in their side.

Yeah the odd gamble is fine as long as we're signing the required number of proven quality, but as you say Van, we've been doing it the opposite way and it's a proven failure. As Einstein said; ' doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results is the definition of madness' or words to that effect. He also said; 'the difference between genius and stupitdy is that genius has it's limits'. How mad and stupid does that make our lot?

Stegan is not the answer i agree Sus.


That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

That's one hell of a call to say he could well be better than Neuer!
