Stoke told to dig deep for Assaidi

I'd take 4 million and Odemwingie ... He really was excellent today against the French ... Decent on the ball, really pacey and a hard worker. He'll be on lowish wages, and can be a valuable squad rotation player.
 
The price 'is just wrong' according to one of the Stoke suits, of course! must not forget Liverpool are not allowed to make a profit on a player.

Apart from Torres and Alonso when was the last time Liverpool sold a player at a profit? especially an average sort like Assiadi?

It was really funny listening to the Chinese commentators today .. Odemwingie is easily recognised because he is so much lighter coloured than anyone else in the Nigerian team so although they had a really tough time recognising any other player unless they had their backs to the camera (so could see the number clearly) whenever and wherever he got the ball it was announced with relish ... ODEMWINGIE !

I wasn't here then but last summer he was the one i really wanted and hoped we would buy, its a bit gutting looking back that we didn't go for him instead of Mig, the bloke is a big presence and an excellent keeper, he is just what we need, Mig needs to grow a pair next season and sort his shit out, having you heart in your mouth every time a cross gets swung near him in just isn't right.

He does seem like the strong silent type you can rely on like big Sami, I haven't given up on Mignolet but I'd agree that he might have been a better buy. Fingers crossed for a settled back line and a more confident keeper next season.

I haven't given up on Mig (yet) either, would love to see him come good but its hard to be convinced he will, he reminds me of Johnson in a way, lacking conviction in some of the stuff he does, gets caught in two minds.

Have you seen the way our back four play?

It's a wonder they haven't turned him in to a complete nervousness wreck.

Carroll? We did pay 3.5m for him, right?

Mixed bag there, scraping the bottom of the barrel with some of them but some good shouts there as well.

Masch and Meireles were just money back jobbies give or take half a mill, Josemi was a swap for an equally useless Kronkamp wasn't he?

We were robbed on Arbeloa although you are right and we made a small profit on him.
 
Not turning a profit doesn't always equate to being 'stiffed'.

A good example is super-hero Kuyt. We only got a mill when he left but we had great value out of him

Players we bought, you knew that anyway, we got stiffed on Owen though, surprise surprise.

oh... but yea it does feel that way, a continual cycle of buying players and losing money on them when they don't work out except for the odd time when they get snapped up by the big boys. Could be worse though, we could be Spurs.
 
Some interesting details (some already listed above, some not):

- Shelvey. In: £1.7 m, Out: £6m
- Insua. In: £1.675 m + Paletta (who cost us £2m) + 50% sell-on fee from sale of Paletta by Boca Juniors; Out: £3.7m (Paletta eventually joined Parma for €2.5m so - we may have picked up another €1.25m for a little profit at the end)
- Mikel San Jose: In: £270K, Out: £2.6m
- Leto: In: £1.85m, Out: £3m
- Crouch: In: £11m, Out: £16m
- Momo: In: £5.6m, Out: £8.2m
