Honestly, what the fuck is going on if we sell in January? What other transfer of this stature has ever happened in January? It is us though.

Torres to Chelsea.
Oh yeah. It is us.
We cannot sell in January. We have a great opportunity to make Champs League again and, regardless of how we've performed when he's been out, we are stronger with him in the squad. We will lose him in the summer but making top 4 is critical to our summer recruitment, so for me he has to stay for the season.
I think FFF just took personal affront.To say anything else you'd need to be either a loony, or just a stupid twat.

This is true.Foxy just said he thinks that it will happen, not that it is a good idea.
I don't want to see us keep a player who doesn't want to be at the club. There is no proof he will give 100%, and could be quite toxic in the dressing room. If however we could change his mind till the end of the season with financial incentives and he proves to give 100% then I'm for keeping him.
I honestly think Mahrez could fill his role, and probably have could connection with Salah

Yep it's twats like Raz who love this idea.
The experience of Suarez, and now Coutinho has made me think that I do not want any South Americans coming to us until they have had some experience playing for those top teams in Spain - because it appears that as soon as those two teams come - they are so easily swayed that they don't give a fuck any more. Really tired of this - we should aim for the best that the other leagues in Europe can offer and target those non-south american players. I don't think this club deserves to be a feeder for the top teams in Spain.
That was true when we were competitive, both in the league and especially in Europe. Times have changed and until we prove we are back and once more truly competitive then I'm not sure anyone, of the level we are talking about and require, will view us as the very peak of their ambitions.That's an interesting point and one that I tend to agree with – if there is one region of the world (besides Merseyside) where most kids grow up aspiring to play in LFC colors it's Northern Europe: Scandinavia, Ireland, Scotland. So we should use this to scoop up the best talent from these countries, especially since historically some of the greatest LFC players came from that region of the world. Someone like Forsberg or Eriksen (or Robertson who is already here) is much more likely to view LFC as the very peak of his ambitions rather than a stepping stone.

Yes but we also lost [bcolor=transparent]McManaman [/bcolor]and Owen to Spain as did Spurs lose Bale, too. I think most players will relish the opportunity to go to a club winning shiny things and it doesn't have to be Real or Barcelona but City, PSG, Bayern etc. Until Liverpool starts doing the same, this may be a perennial saga regarding our best players.That's an interesting point and one that I tend to agree with – if there is one region of the world (besides Merseyside) where most kids grow up aspiring to play in LFC colors it's Northern Europe: Scandinavia, Ireland, Scotland.

Problem is...by the time you assemble that damn team there is always one wanting to leave. Right now there are two players in coutinho and can who dont want to be with us. Its a fucked up situation. Prefer people that want to play for us.Yes but we also lost[bcolor=transparent]McManaman[/bcolor]and Owen to Spain as did Spurs lose Bale, too.

Hhhmmmmm let me see. The choice between winning lots of stuff and selling coutinho for a higher price in the summer, or selling him in january and winning nothing but getting used to the players we will have. That's a hard decision to make....are you bloody INSANE? Fuck that the first option always. So we have slump next year, who cares we would have won the CL...c'mon man.Whilst I think that article is a load of shit, I'd say there's a good chance we'll get shut of him in January.
Which would be a kick in the teeth, not least cos he'll tear it up at the WC & be worth way more, but there is a genuine reason I can understand us getting it done now, although I don't agree with the reasoning myself.
No, really, keep on reading, I'm not a complete lunatic.
I am 100% certain that he is going before next season.
Bearing that in mind, if he leaves in the summer, even if we've torn it up, won the CL, the FA Cup & finished second (which isn't exactly likely to be that successful), when we start next season all that positivity & momentum won't carry over from this season, in effect it will be wasted.
If we do sell in January then, yes, it will be harder to win nice shiny things (which is why I'm instinctively against it), but anything we can achieve should be with the players who we start next season with.
Surprised to see the bitey fiend being used as a puppet for Barca's message, so unlike him. I couldn't see from the article based on the mess of content from the mirror site, is this something sanctioned by Barca? Embarrassing, the lengths they go to if it's the case to include other team's players.
This happens a lot in other professions so why a big surprise if it happens in football. The only difference is that it also happens via media as wll as suarez calling his mate on the phone every other nite.Surprised to see the bitey fiend being used as a puppet for Barca's message, so unlike him.

Echo site is the same, presumably as it's owned by same group. 2 lines of content with mass of pop ups, I understand the need for funding it but surely the current format doesn't with browser bandwidth sapping content?I gave up trying to read the article. The page is a morass of pop-ups and graphics-memory-gobbling adverts.
Never said surprised, just embarrassing for those invoved.This happens a lot in other professions so why a big surprise if it happens in football. The only difference is that it also happens via media as wll as suarez calling his mate on the phone every other nite.
