We've bid 8Million for Shane Long

[Ryan]

ftw

 

[ILD]

Actually made a bid?

 

[Lippy]

My arse

 

[Woland]

It's true.

I fall on my sword.

 

[Athens]

I'm starting to wonder how much I would fetch on the market.

 

[cloggypop]

He's no Jay Rodriguez.

 

[Gary25]

Let the good times roll.

 

[Jack D Rips]

But have we?

 

[darkstarexodus]

But have we?

Search your feelings. You know it to be true.

 

[Fallon]

Original news of bid is from the scum, so more than a pinch of salt. Having said that, if we have been stupid enough to bid twice what Southampton have just payed for a younger more clinical striker, then I give up with transfers.

 

[RedStar]

The real question is why? Long is hard working and reasonably intelligent but hes not that quick, not very skilful and not a great finisher. He as basically a lesser version of Ings for £8m. If its true then we are a joke

 

[localny]

God. From Alonso to Allen, and now Suarez to Shane. Not a bad finisher, but surely we need some flash.

 

[Ryan]

People asking why...

I'll tell you why. In the last 5 years we've spent 153 millions pounds sterling on players from Aston Villa, Southampton, and Newcastle.


This is what we do.

 

[peekay]

Weeps uncontrollably at this image.

 

[Skullflower]

We dont do things by halves. We do them my eighths.

 

[LarryHagman]

Fuckin hell.

 

[Raz]

Apparently our offer has been rejected, so we will end up spending 15m on another mediocre player.

 

[Molbystwin]

There MUST be a good striker in the world we can buy... surely..

 

[kingjulian]

If thos is true something is very wrong in our club set up...

A clone of Shankley, Paisely and Arigo Sachi cant fix us.

Im starting to feel bad for our managers (present and past)

 

[Dreambeliever]

I actually think he would work brilliantly in Klopps style but 8m ffs

 

[hamstrung_pigeon]

Southampton got him for about 10m to 12m in 2014, so 8m is taking the piss and totally not in keeping with how we do business.

17.5m with an additional 2.5m in add-ons is how we roll.

So it seems Ian Ayre and his colleagues share your way of thinking.

That explains an awful lot.

If hodge podge or Rodgers bought on caulker as we're chasing a game against utd and put a bid of £8m in for fucking Shane long, this place would have exploded.

Klopp seems to have a wallet of free passes.

 

[Oncy]

Klopp is a fucking bellend clearly.

Hes not the messiah and I should know ive followed a few.

 

[keniget]

Is this some kind of joke I've missed out on?

 

[Oncy]

Danny Murphy on hearing we are in for Long :-
'REALLY!?!! No...no, no, no, no, no, no'

Bit unproffesh from Dan but I LIKE IT.

Possibly because, unlike Hodge Podge or Brodge, he's got a great track record for winning things.

 

[Rosco]

I like Long ,when he plays for Ireland.

Leave him where he is

 

[dantes]

Maybe somebody overheard the owners talk of buying long in terms of an £8m investment portfolio, jumped to conclusions and leaked this obvious shit to the press.
