Selling our best player

Not open for further replies.
Whilst im very much of Modos cynical persuasion and I hate the board and they wont ever help us to compete consistently......

Day we beat the champions twice in a week to qualify for the semi final of the European cup is an odd one to choose for a crusade.
Fair enough.
 
Yeah, my thought was, "can you blame him"?
Alonso goes, wins shit
Mascherano goes, wins shit
Torres goes, wins shit
Suarez goes, wins shit
Sterling goes, about to win shit
Coutinho goes, about to win shit.

Barca comes calling and he's supposed to what? Stick around and not win shit?

The only exception to the rule is Michael Owen, I mean if the league title doesnt mean shit.

ALSO...

During that period, from Alonso to Coutinho, what do we have to show for it?
League cup. 3-4 finals losses. Great!
Yeah that's 10 years.

You forgot Raheem in that list...
 
Letting good players go and signing better players is part of the game. Of course if we ain't winning shit players will want to go, unless they're Lucas.

Just make sure we have a plan to come out on top, like Mr. Klopp

10 years in which a certain midfielder 'played' for us.

Coincidence?

I think not.

The fucking Jonah.
 
We're a much more balanced team having sold him, midfield press is much better, Mane playing better etc.

None of us could have foreseen it however its worked very well.
Actually I did....he was very weak in midfield and our results were inconsistent with him plus the other 3. I liked him for his creativity but against tough opponents he was a liability. Was happy to see him go but want a creative mid replacement that is much stronger. We were always gonna sell him and is the reason we bought OX to everyones confusion.

Yeah, but in Modo's defence, what he's saying is that he can understand why those players left, and that their decision to leave has been entirely justified
No that's not what he originally said. He said we should let them go to win things rather than keeping them and holding them back with us.

Of course I can understand why coutinho wanted to go. But that wasn't his point.

Isn't that the same thing?
 
Nope

One is understanding why they would want to leave

The other is actively saying they should leave

Oh, I'd never say a great player should leave. What the fuck would any cunt say that for? We're not a fucking charity. They aren't my mates. Who cares?

"Oh poor old........*enter player name*.....we should let him fly free! To achieve all that he can in his beautiful life!
Go! Go with our blessing, you precious, wonderful man!"

Yup

Modo init
 
Klopp felt there was no point keeping hold of flyaway Phil. He was sulking and causing unrest. I've not read anywhere that he was allowed to leave to better himself, or words to that effect. I thought he was shipped out to get his whinging little shitface out of the club. Keeping him or letting him go - either way a gamble but I think one Klopp got right. Sackable offence? Maybe in Gagaland. Selling to fund VvD? Sure, the tin foil hat brigade with their lizard theory are perfectly entitled to their opinion but please don't post this shit as if it's established fact.

Agreed! No, it is only Modo who thinks catering to the personal ambitions of our players is more important than building the ambitions of our club.

No one's said it was fact?

People just believe it's plausible because every time we've broken our transfer record in recent memory, it's at the time we've just sold/about to sell for an extortionate amount
 
I'm sure at the time lots of people were saying he wasn't our best player?
I certainly didn't think he was and was hoping Mane and Lallana would step up and cover the gap.

I do hope we manage to keep some of our better players in the summer while adding to the squad with some top quality

I said other people were. Mane I think I said in the summer, Salah in January
