There's risk attached to every signing, and I'm not sure there's really any obvious correlation with quality and what league they've come from.

It used to be a safe bet to assume anyone from Serie A would be rubbish, then Salah wrecked that.

It's probably correct to say that players we've bought from another Premier league club are less obviously going to be shit, but that's maybe because there's more examples of those, so there's more obvious successes - you could spend the rest of the thread identifying all the shit ones too.

Nobody knows anything.

You may have your obvious flaws but there's no doubting your logic here. Spot on.
 
Yeah, but given how great Mane, Virgil and Salah are, I'm now sure that our next few "big" signings will be rubbish. Or at least one of them.

It is the Liverpool Way.

It is the Liverpool Way to have a hit rate of about 1 good player in every 5 signings. I think we've broken the cycle. But I now realise I have jinxed that. So yes, one will be turd.

Yeah, and knowing our luck it'll be the fucking goalkeeper. Again.
 
Funny you say that, I don't trust Allison not to be shite. He could be a very expensive disaster.
 
If they are gonna dick about and try to get 90M like Monaco for Lemar last summer then we should move on....

I'd rather we spent say 30 - 50M on someone like Zaha myself.... Then give us some change for a CB and decent keeper.
 
The only person who has been talking about Allison, except journalists putting two and two together, is Monchi.
 
Yeah, I know nothing about Lemar. That's because he plays for a shit club in a shit league and he can fuck off and die.

Zaha would give me a semi.
 
I know, I'm just saying I think the 30-50m estimate is a bit optimistic. Unless his contract is nearly done.
 
It's not our money though is it? Arsed.

No.

But if paying silly money for Zaha means we have to compromise on a decent goalkeeper or attacking midfielder or striker or central defender, I'd rather not pay it. Not having a bottomless pit is more the point than whose money is being spent.

I get this, I really do, but we're one of the richest clubs on Earth. We've just played in the CL final again. I'm not saying we're not because we've done some swift business already this year. I just reckon we need more of his kind of player, and we are fucking minted, despite what most of our fans have been led to believe.

Zaha is definitely the type of player we need, I agree with you there. I have no idea about our finances, though. But, if splurging big on Zaha doesn't have a knock-on effect elsewhere, then I'd be all for it.

They club has been very vocal in being ready to kick on properly

They've seen what finals can get you, and to keep klopp sweet as that lads money
 
True I also want to have a balanced team. I want us to get to another final and look at the bench and not wince. Massive quality dropp off when any of our best 1st 11 come off. Ox and Can being injured hasn't helped.

However buying players isn't all just about transfer fee. Wages play a massive part too, we already one of the top teams in the world when it comes to wages, god knows how especially when you look at the subs bench? We going to to have to be savvy and get rid of deadwood too.

Surely getting rid of Sturridge, Origi, Ings will allow us to get Fekir and Dembele. Sturridge alone is apparently on 150k a week basic style!
 
When that last Forbes list came out we were 7th richest club in the world. Since then we've been to a CL final, qualified again, done a massive shirt deal, sold more season tickets than any time in our history, doubled the corporate hospitality, added 10,000 seats, got a new TV deal worth a fucking fortune, got banks to sponsor player's arseholes. The list is insane. If we want a player and we can't get them it can only be because one of the fossil fuel owning mofos is in there first. Seriously. There's never been a more important time to kick on, and we've never had more money.

I think Palace will ask silly money for Zaha.
Especially since we sold them Benteke and Sakho. If we're looking for a squad option with 1st team experience for the wings, I'd like to point you to Adama Traoré
