Liverpool related transfer speculation

[Glen C]

So she chose regular beatings and rapes?

This surprises you? Many women have suffered more just for the money.

I mean, kinda.

Well sorry i didn't realize Mason didnt do time. i thought he had. Like i said previously, i was careless for posting without doing proper research. I read that top clubs were after him, so immediately assumed that they had done enough background checks to think he's worth the risk of being given a 2nd chance.

And yes, let me stress again. Abusers, esp. sexual predators, should be locked up until they've shown reasonably repentance for a considerable time, before they are released back into society, and even then, they have to be under monitoring/regular check-ins, counseling, etc for some time. But i've also heard of cases, where some sex offender comes clean for 10 years, and decides one day he can't do it anymore and becomes a menace to society again.

The ex-cons (excl sex offenders) that have done a full 180, are obviously those who have gone through the long, painful process of being crushed spirit, mind, and soul to the point of total surrender and utter despair. Those are the ones we usually help.

In my limited 'volunteering' experience, the drug addicts have a higher success rate of a complete life change, than say, a sex offender.

I usually don't go near sex offenders esp. pedos, because i dont think i'm cut out for that sort of work. It really can mess your mind up, if you're not properly trained for it. For me, those are your Hannibal or Arthur Fleck levels. Also, dont get me started about preachers who abuse minors.

And yes, abuse and trauma victims are a completely different kettle. I've seen too many trauma counselors who jsut make things worse, just cos they think they've got some uni degree, and can use some scientific approach they've studied and 'experiment' on their clients, and try to 'fix' them. And then there are others who do it mainly for the money, cos its easy money. Nothing pisses me more than that. I find that the 'wounded healers' turn out to be some of the best counselors.

Anyway, i'm really gonna stop now. Back to football. Sorry !

Thanks for letting us know, mate and fair play to you for your good works.

Stop talking about this f*cked up stuff.

Are there any rumours ? - has anyone spotted a van or big mofo SUV carrying a smart guy in a suite (not Hughes, Henry, or Edwards or an existing player) - but someone we don't know turning up to ground about to sign ?

Bobby Clarke leaving Salzberg possibly on loan. Pep L is writing his follow up book, "How to win?" I am sure thats a question crossed his mind many times while he was at Salzburg.
Hughes has booked time off after a hectic transfer window, the writers at Athletic and some of the posters here think he deserves a 3 month break. The contract extensions can wait
Trent will for the next 5 months pretend to be a defender. Quansah will be DMing another Pornstar. Robbo will do the perfect impersonation of lamp post when facing an opposition player, then quickly turning into WWE wrestler to take them down.

What’s your perspective on forced sterilization for serial sex abusers?

That's what I love about this place, you can ask interesting questions without being judged.

Whenever I bring up that topic at dinner parties people think I'm weird.

Seems like a deal there if Lad wants to go too with a sell on fee. 6 months of Salah Salary.

He is worth £20m, its not happening as Hughes is on a Flight to Oz

 

[Buddha]

I think that’s a pretty low fee for a young player that really impressed in midfield for a decent championship side last year…and who hasn’t looked out of place when he’s come into the side for the top side in Europe.

Surely he should be a 25m player in this market?

 

[the count]

Middlesbrough's approach for Liverpool's Tyler Morton is not expected to progress.

The Championship side did make a bid for the midfielder and held talks but they have not managed to find an agreement for the 22-year-old.

A package of over £10m has been reported, although sources dispute the figure.

Morton has made five appearances for Liverpool this season, including in last week's 3-2 Champions League defeat at PSV.

Boro, who host Sunderland in the Championship tonight, have already taken Ben Doak on loan from Anfield this season.

The 19-year-old winger has three goals in 24 games for Michael Carrick's side, who are seventh in the table and out of the play-off spots on goal difference.

I don't think leaving a 22 year old to rot in the stands for a year was a particularly good move for either party.

 

[binomial]

£10m is too low, he's worth 15-20m easily....then again I'd only expect 2-3 clubs in the championship capable of spending that amount of money on 1 player.

 

[Modo]

It's low but, with add ons that fee can grow.
I think we should accept

Disagree - it’s important we ensure our valuation is met - otherwise it encourages teams to lowball us for players and weakens our negotiating position.

If he’s worth £20m+, then that’s the offer plus add ons.

A loan would be better, of ‘boro have the capacity to do that.

 

[Dreambeliever]

How’s it a huge gamble letting one kid go on loan who’s spent most of the season injured and unavailable and (I presume other’s Morton) another that’s barely featured on the bench let alone the pitch in a position where he’s 7th or 8th choice?

The gamble is not bringing in any reinforcements when we are thin on depth with quality.

5 league games in 14 days carries high risks of injury.

It’s definitely a gamble deciding not to recruit anyone and go with what we have vs lowering our bar somewhat to get players in or overspending to do that same.

 

[tomasjj]

John's wallet is
a) between the cushions in his camper van
b) hidden between linda's new tits
c) he is senile now, and is not allowed to have one himself
d) other?

That is the regular run of midweek followed by weekend games that is the majority of the season

100% agree with this, we are first and foremost a financial institution and football club 2nd.

But we aren’t that thin on depth and quality - we’ve got a big squad of players with 2-3 players capable of covering every position - it’s about how and who Slot uses each of those players.

Not having Danns & potentially Morton available isn’t going to make much of a difference - there’s a fairly good chance the only role they’d play is sitting on the bench for that 5 game period.

It’s arguably better for us long term if they go out on loan and play regularly for the rest of the season.

We have the likes of Quansah, Bradley, Endo, Elliot, Chiesa and now McConnell who are fresh having played limited minutes so far, along with the likes of Robbo, Tsimikas, CJ, Macca, Gakpo, Diaz, Darwin & Konate who have had their minutes managed.

It’s only Virgil, Gravy & Mo who have been constant (maybe Slobbers too).

We’re in a good spot.

Hahahahaha - is your memory good enough to remember the time when we weren’t we weren’t managed well financially and were in danger of actually going under?

Maybe you’d prefer us to be like Everton… after all the “peoples club” are all about the football and worry about the finances later.

Lads, sidebar, did I ever tell you the time someone invited me to the club's training in Boston in 2012. I posted here about it, and next thing, I got disinvited. These boards have ears 🤣
