It's genuinely a bizarre experience debating with you and leftpeg. You're both just completely invulnerable to reason.

7 mill
I thought it was around £11m
So it's guesswork.
OK, let's put it another way. Which of these players we have signed since Rodgers arrived is a 1st team regular (the ones in red have been sold) :
Simon Mignolet (£9m)
Philippe Coutinho (£8.5m)
Daniel Sturridge (£12m)
Joe Allen (£15m)
Fabio Borini (£11m)
Luis Alberto (£6m)
Thiago Ilori (£7m)
Iago Aspas (£5m)
Oussama Assaidi (£2.5m)
Nuri Sahin (loan)
Samed Yesil (£1m)
Kolo Toure (free)
Aly Cissokho (loan)
Victor Moses (loan)
Adam Lallana (£25m)
Dejan Lovren (£20m)
Rickie Lambert (£3m)
Nathaniel Clyne (£12m)
Christian Benteke (£32.5m)
James Milner (Free)
Mamadou Sakho (£18m)
Lazar Markovic (£20m)
Mario Balotelli (£16m)
Alberto Moreno (£12m)
Javier Manquillo (Loan)
Divock Origi (£10m)
Firmino (£21m - £29m)
Emre Can (£10m)
Joe Gomez (£3.5m)
Alex Bogdan (Free)
Danny Ings (TBD)
Of that lot, only Coutinho so far as I can tell has been signed from abroad and is a permanent fixture. All the other foreign-based players have been moved on or are on the fringes, probably the next ones to be dumped, or just signed. Is there a trend here?
We just don't seem capable of bringing in players from abroad who make an impression or can develop into 1st teamers. After a while, you may surmise that the manager has a little share of the responsibility for this failing - not only is he the last word on signings, by his own admission, he is also the sole decision-maker on selection.
The list is frightening actually, no wonder we are so fucking ordinary.
Yeah and that's all fine but it doesn't correlate to who were the so-called committee signings and who were the also so-called Rodgers' signings.
No. It's a case built using facts and logic. I say built but that overstates the effort I made in coming to it. My brain was able to process the various data pretty much instantly.
I'm baffled that I have to explain if to anyone. I think they must either be very thick or very dishonest.
Whether it's Rodgers, Comiteh or FSG it's ineptitude of the highest order.
That's a fucking brilliant post.
No doubt about that.
Rodgers is often feted as a developer of young players but he's not really is he. Buys them then discards them pretty quickly.
Yup - he'll give the kids he trusts a go (I guess that's something), but if they don't do it immediately, they're gone.
I was hoping he'd sign for Norwich so I could post Red Llori Yellow Llori.
But he didn't.
But he didn't.
Rodgers is the new Souness. Don't have the tactical knowledge to solve a problem so he tries to buy players to solve it. If something fails then it is never his fault.
If a young player don't deliver straight away then it is bye bye and he is replaced by a new young player and if he don't deliver straight away........
If you are signed from another league then you have more or less no chance. How long time before Origi and Moreno is off? I doubt that Firmino will be a Liverpool player next season because he will be tired being played out of position. How long time before Coutinho moves to Barcelona or Real Madrid, will it be next summer?
Rodgers out.

I suspect he wont even get to play for the reserve
If he's gone on loan for a million quid and he's dead good then how come a top Portuguese sides weren't in for him? How come Sporting Lisbon didn't come back for him? How come he hardly ever played for them when he was there?
I know how easy it is to call Rodgers a nob. Here. Rodgers is a nob. But the reality is he's probs not good enough.

I wonder if this is something he learned under maureen seeing as he appears to be a 5th Dan black belt in the art of moving people on .
Well I was hoping it was that kind of loose agreement, but it worries me that a certain price - £7m - has already been cited. You don't have that with an informal option.
