    Until he puts on the red shirt and plays there is no real way to know what is going to happen. Until then I'm going to trust Rodgers knows what he is doing, he has been pretty good with that so far.

    If 30 goals in 54 games is average then what is above average? It could certainly turn into a waste of money and that goes for any transfer, but considering what you just paid for Rojo + Nani's wages to play at Sporting then I'd say it's pretty shrewd by LFC. The Milan forums I looked at seem...

    Between this and the Scholes article it just keeps getting better and better for anybody not a ManU fan, hilarious. Again with Balotelli, just depends on how much he wants it. Nobody can deny his talent, just his commitment to playing for whatever team he is currently on. When you consider...

    I'm just laughing right now as peoples reactions are just so wide ranging to shock and horror to outright glee. The fee or wages isn't the concern, more how he'll fit in with what sounds like a pretty tight knit team. I don't believe for a second he'll be ready to play against ManC but then...

    Just goes back to what I said yesterday. ManU has spent 75m pounds and so far I don't think they've improved their starting 11, at least enough to make any type of difference.

    Right, so the bank has no legal requirement to sell you the house unless you bid over the $700k mark that your mother owed. The bank then gets to take back the property but here's where it gets tricky, it will be assigned to an asset manager who upon inspecting the property will quickly realize...

    Your mother can just straight up sell you the house, you're not a lien holder so she can't sell you the right to foreclose nor can she substitute you to deal with the bank. If you don't want to pay what it would take to take care of her outstanding lien then you need to buy the house from the...

    Actually I think the last 5 transfer windows is very prescient in that up until then you either won the league or were 2nd during that whole time frame you are quoting. So a lack of spending certainly wasn't an issue from a domestic standpoint and now that you are having real domestic league...

    Ramsey sent off, can't ever recall that happening. Still think Arse will go through next week but these first two real performances sure are disjointed. I think I'd take Ward-Prowse over Smokin English Jack at this point.

    Yep, my bad. Flight, the graphic is NET spend not GROSS. ManC has outspent ManU in the past 5 windows, just they also had some sales whereas ManU hasn't sold anybody worth anything since Ronaldo.

    You just won the league 2 years ago and the squad was good enough up until that point to where you only need to add 1 or 2 players a year until all the old players had to be phased out. Whether it was Whiskeynose not caring because he knew he was about to be done or mismanagement by the club...

    But who is blaming the waste on Carroll as the reason LFC isn't competing? That doesn't even go along with what we're talking about other than pointing out that LFC wasted money at some point which surprise, it happens to all teams. Just MUFC seem to have that for almost all of their deals...

    Luck's second 40 at the combine was 4.59. And yes I can't think of a team that wouldn't take Luck in a straight up swap right now considering his age.

    Luck is actually a pretty amazing athlete and his top end speed isn't that far off of RG3, guess cause he's white he automatically gets thought of as less of an athlete but I don't think it's so cut and dry.

    Arsenal is spending good money now though, whether they work out or not is yet to be seen. As far as ManU vs. LFC spending, I think this has more to do with the fact that a lack of spending is being cited as the reason why ManU may struggle again this year. That seems patently untrue but I...

    So you're saying that it's understandable the expenditure the last 2 years has looked quite wasteful because the 7 years prior you were outspent by everybody? And when we say everybody we're really talking about Chelsea and ManC. Lets look at this: 30mil Shaw - Potential to be the best LB...

    Well it says last 5 transfer windows so yeah, I think most people would understand that. More to question how the squad can be so shit with that type of spending. As far as Fabregas, Burnley was almost a training exercise for Chelsea today at times. No real pressure on the ball, no...

    The whole team was awful against Hull away or Southampton at home which those results are equal in costing LFC the title last year. I think LFC has lost 1 game in all of 2014 which was Chelsea at home, which again wasn't a defending issue more Gerrard falling over. I'm not saying our defending...

    I thought Manquillo was excellent as well, Southampton clearly were targetting him and Tadic eventually gave up and switched to the right against Johnson. Between Flanno/Manquillo I think our right side will be fine, now to see about Moreno on the left.

    LOL, I guess we didn't come in 2nd last year?! Johnson you can slate all you want, I'm hoping 'Arry makes a stupid bid for him on the 30th as QPR would pay his wages. Pretty sure you know nothing of football if you're going to slate Lovren though, I don't think he put a foot wrong all game...

    Our worst performances last year were with Lucas and Gerrard in partnership and I'd have to say Rodgers got it wrong again by starting them together. They're just too immobile together and while I think Ward-Prowse is good and going to get better, they were making him look all world with the...

    Probably should have went with the booze instead of coffee as the whole second half I was just bouncing off the wall. Southampton a bit unlucky but fuck it, nobody is going to give back the 3 points. Skrtel was getting beat on the ground all day and Lucas was just ball watching half the time...

    Welp, outclassed at home to Swansea. Juve and Vidal are just licking their fingers at this point. Herrera and Shaw are potential, nothing more at this point though Shaw seemingly is still getting bigger. We signed 4 players similar aged with similar potential for less in fee and wages...

    And as ManU is about to find out, the cost and wages with the supposed A-List players will fuck you for years if you don't get top 3 after spending that money. I don't begrudge LFC at all for not spending 60m on Cavani because more than likely he wouldn't make us top 4 or not top 4 on his own...

    I thought you were changing Maul, alas I guess that's not to be. Sterling has never been injured, Coutinho was only injured at LFC when Ashley Williams kicked the shit out of him though Sturridge is probably a good candidate for an injury at some point. And no, the game in Miami actually...

    Sterling is Jamaican/English so I would be pretty surprised if he left if we were challenging for the PL/CL titles assuming he gets paid accordingly. Coutinho on the other hand I could see eventually moving to Barca/Real but hopefully not for another 4-5 after he's won us a shit load of...

    Even though ManU makes a ton of money they aren't Abramovich or the oil sheikhs were money basically doesn't matter and you can just make up more bullshit sponsorship deals or sell off the best youth players in Europe for further funds. There is no guarentee that just adding Vidal or Rojo would...

    I don't get why it's so surprising as ManUre doesn't have CL and they're going to have to overpay both in fee and wages to get anybody considered world class. From a business standpoint I'm sure half the transfer that they could pull off don't even make any sense, and even the 2 signings don't...
