One player I am sure would have improved our squad is Payet and he is going for 25m I think. Marseille who are nowhere near us in terms of financial capacity are going for him.
So a guy that is desperate to return to France for family reasons and has downed tools in an attempt to force this move through? Under no circumstances would I want a player at LFC like that!
What Chris said. And just because he's not from Marseille doesn't mean he's not going for family reasons.
There are always reasons why a player moves, family, wages, bigger club, more opportunities, manager, club wanting to cash in etc. The point was whether there is better quality than our squad available on the market and the answer is definitely yes. Schneiderlin IMO is a better central midfielder than Can and I have mentioned only 2 players I have seen playing in the EPL alone, there are tens of other players in the world that would improve our squad, but I don't watch that much to know who.
We have scouts, a director of football and a manager whose jobs are to find those players instead of finding excuses. Anyway, they have opted not to reinforce for whatever reasons and no way I will condone this unless as some said, FSG is not providing the funds, but I have seen no proof of that. It is simple to me, they are not doing their job correctly. I cannot be happy with that even if others find it ok, I don't.
