In the last 120 days where deals could have been negotiated, we have made 1 signing of note, Mo Salah.

That in itself, is an absolutely shocking indictment of our transfer policy. But it is also absolutely deliberate.

When John Henry was at the Nou Camp, we all knew this wasn't without reasoning. He was there as Barca were keen to take Phil, regardless of whether Neymar was sold or not.

This deal, was concluded at that point. All summer our fans have desperately hoped for Keita and VVD as we were lead to believe we were trying everything in our power to get these deals over the line.

Anyone who believes that must be absolutely retarded. The strategy was simple, wait for the Coutinho money, re-invest it, the fans will jump for joy after we have spent 150m odd.

But wait a minute, if the Keita and VVD deals were going to cost the best part of £130m, we then sold Coutinho for £120m, surely we have £250m to burn over the next couple of weeks?

Absolute [oops], the owners were going to sell him all along, re-invest that money, net spend went from £150m + to most likely around the £20m mark.

Scandolous.

Oh dear.

In all honesty I had never heard of Keita nevermind wanted us to sign him. The window is still open and after the Van tricky dicky media circus im not surprised the club is very hush hush about transfers.

Me neither.

Been some quite major 'cock up's' going on behind the scenes I reckon.

Nowt new there then.

Don't think they'll get away with it all so easily this time around, I'm seeing/hearing the most ardent of FSG supporters now questioning their strategy.

It's a Gold mining operation with machinery barely fit for purpose and an inexperienced skeleton crew manning it on purpose. The ground being mined has amazing potential and every now and again a huge nugget is unearthed and sold for huge profit! The Owners don't want to invest in more experienced miners and the latest equipment because when they go to sell the whole operation they don't want to give the impression the land is overmined. So just ticking over suits them!

you are right,the club need to be able to f&ck up in the transfer market with out anyone hearing about it.

I wont be surprised if Salah's deal was because of the owners connections OR a PR stunt to get the club more followers from that region. its a big thing. An arab.Egyptian. big money move.
