Mane is an exceptional player, not far off world class, would absolutely walk into our team

He is a winger not a forward

He is also not called....Georgino Wijnaldium ;)

Liverpool are fucking awful at transfers.
  • They already have enough AMs
  • They still spend £25 million on one the was relegated last season
Even looking at some of the transfers they made in the past are pathetic
  • Bought Andy Carroll for £35 million
  • Bought Benteke for £32 million
  • Bought Mané for £30 million
  • Bought Lovren for £20 million
  • Bought Markovic for £19.5 million
They just spend massive sums of money on average players. I think they feel like they're still a top class team able to dish on money but considering they're not even in the Europa league they can't attract top class players.

Their transfers are just a joke. None of the players I listed should've been more than £20 million including Wijnaldum. o_O

If this transfer goes through, Liverpool have spent £230m since 2011 on Newcastle, Southampton, Sunderland and Aston Villa players

Does Liverpool have a transfer policy of not negotiating asking prices or something? Either that or they have the worst negotiators in football. Christ almighty. Again they ship out an absurd asking price?

The thing is you get some people pointing to Liverpool and stating how they can get their negotiions over the line with ease while we faff about. This is the reason why.

Just not sure about this guy - I'd have been really wondering why we had paid £25m for him. Liverpool have a higher budget than us, so £25m may be less for them, though I think he's in a position that they don't really need strengthening.

I don't think buying him would have been the difference between us doing well or not this year. If we had that sort of money burning a hole in our pockets there are plenty of players I'd prefer, not least Gotze (which obviously isn't happening for whatever reason)

They're certainly going big again on transfers, difficult to say how it'll turn out

£25m is £25m no matter how you look at it

Yes but they will be a Stronger football team for it. Why people keep worrying about money spent is baffling

I don't agree - it's all relative and a matter of opportunity cost

If £25m is your total remaining budget and you need two players, the money may be better used If playing that doesn't stop your general transfer plans elsewhere it's less of an issue
