Change it to Liverpool getting fucked over and Chelsea paying £110m for somebody worth nowhere near it. Good day. 19 minutes ago, esquire8 said: You think he's having 2nd thoughts?

Offering a British transfer record bid..... announcing the signing publicly 2 hours ago...... then finding out you've been patched by the player Would love to have seen Klopps reaction when he got the call saying Caicedo wants to join Chelsea.

BlueSuedeSambas 54,231 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Liverpool would never pay that money for Kane, especially with his age, but if they signed him it would put them right back in proper contention for honours. He can do everything Firmino did for them in terms of dropping off and linking play, but he will also score you 30 goals a season doing it.

He's alright but mainly just stating the lunacy of the transfer fee. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reasons City and Utd didn't go for him is they don't need him (Rodri) or they can't afford him (Utd). Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have inflated the market, and it means everyone else pays more, or is underpaid because they're not from that league. My reasons for hating English football for that are sound, nothing to concern yourself with. Have a good one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reasons for hating English football for that are sound, nothing to concern yourself with. Have a good one. I feel like English teams are the reason £10-20m players are now going for £40-50m, but La Liga and PSG are the reason £50m players are now going for £100m+. PSG and La Liga were the ones that made it the norm for the very top players to go for £100m+. Until the last few years most top EPL teams did still spend a lot of money, but it usually capped out around £50-60m on individual players. It now seems like every young player who has a good season abroad is valued at £100m. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSG and La Liga started spending more to keep up with the English league. English football kicked it off with Sky in the 90s. Ffs, to that point Manchester United couldn't compete with us to keep Archie Knox. I have my reasons, I think they're pretty sound. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree English clubs have ruined it, but they've still never got near to the fees La Liga and PSG went to for Neymar, Mbappe, Coutinho, Felix, Dembele etc which were all £140-150m+. They are the transfers that broke the top end of the market. The Neymar one especially fucked the market. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to be honest, you could actually level the blame at Saudi, Dubai, Qatar, UAE etc for breaking the top end of the market. All those high end deals involved back alley situations between sponsors and the clubs etc. Neymar cash was fronted from Qatar through PSGs fly Emirates sponsorship at the time. The middle east controls football with money, that's a gripe in itself though, I've always held a grudge to Sky + England for that initial ruining of the market.

Somemightsay7 2,477 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Chelsea pulling out of the Adams deal now. Adams for £20m is a great deal. Would be a good shout for Man Utd if they sell McTominay assuming Liverpool go back for Lavia now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
