I think Liverpool are doing some good business, some good additions without paying too much over the top. I think this year might just be their year....

Because when Pellegrini/Mourinho/etc leave a team every players suddenly wants to leave because the manager that brought them there has left.

He didn't sign a contract with the manager but with the club, and a contract doesn't specify who the manager they will play under is going to be for the length of their contract.

Boo hoo, he doesn't know who is making the decisions.... maybe. He has a contract, he signed it, he gets paid a lot. Most teams aren't controlled by managers regardless of what fans think. Fergie didn't have a blank cheque with which to run his team, they sold Ronaldo because 80mil was more important than Ronaldo to the owners. As it stands, I would say 95+% of players in the league outlast the manager that brought them in with very few managers these days staying longer than 2 years and lots of players staying for longer than that.

Clubs sell top players, the price they got for Shaw and Lallana were simply not able to be turned down. 20mil isn't outrageous while almost 30mil pretty much is for certain players. One lets you buy likely a very good replacement with a little spare, the other lets you buy two very good replacements and strengthen the team overall as say Liverpool are doing with Suarez, as Utd attempted to do with the Ronaldo money(Valencia... lol).

He's being a douche.... he didn't get the move he wanted, the club had the temerity to hold him to the contract he signed willingly and was grateful for.... so he's pretty much refusing to go back?

Going back to exactly what you said, Barca are selling big players, the manager who signed any of them isn't there any more and no one knows who is making the decisions, manager, board, Messi, so why would any player want to stay?

WHat I'm highlighting is that you've described the situation at almost every club on multiple occasions. The only club now in which I can think of to which it doesn't apply(in recent history) is Arsenal because Wenger hasn't left and everyone there was signed by him. What you're effectively saying is that every player in the league outside of Arsenal, should be able to leave because the manager who signed them left. Yet 99% of players in this league don't threaten to strike after a manager leaves, when big players are sold. Which other Spurs players threatened to leave or force their way out after Bale was sold, with a new manager, with who knows making the decisions?

Well, you've almost entirely ignored the whole point of my post other than the bit I've highlighted, which actually backs up my point. That's why Xavi, Valdes, etc. are leaving!

I'm not saying Lovren should be acting in the way that he is to force a move, but his reasons are justified. It's the means that are wrong.
 
Maybe there was some truth to the Di Maria rumors then

Both PSG and Manchester United have offered €60million for Angel di Maria. [AS]

Monaco is asking €80 million for James Rodríguez. If Di Maria decides to leaves Real Madrid wants to sign James for €70 million. [AS]

That picture of cole is so weird. It's like his head is part of the white pillar behind him and somebody has lined up a body perfectly with it.

Xavi's 34 and has been crap for a year, Valdes chose to leave LONG before the season was up or the manager was fired. So no, neither back up your point.

Again the average shelf life of a prem league manager is barely 2 years, the average contract is 4 years. Some players leave after a manager goes, the massive majority do not. Almost none are stupid enough to expect to be able to simply chose to walk out to where ever they want after a manager moves on as shown by the extreme minority who move on after a manager leaves.

Barcelona/Real/Utd/Chelsea move on big players most seasons, it's just how football works. Barcelona got rid of Eto'o and Ibra under the same manager. Who left after Guardiola left.... I can't honestly remember, no one significant off the top of my head.

The managers that signed Ronaldo, Di Maria, Benzema, Alonso and multiple others, did they all look to leave when the manager left, no. Some players leave every year, it's just a very silly statement to make that it's normal that a player wants to move on after a manager leaves when there is effectively overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Expecting Lovren to want out because the manager left is ridiculous, and him expecting the club to just let him go because he fancies a bigger club and because the manager left is equally ridiculous. If he wasn't ready to play for Southampton for four years, he shouldn't have signed a contract.

Liverpool have spoken to him, they will clearly offer him more money... if the existing manager was there he'd be reacting precisely the same way. Money making him want to leave, the club has every right to say no to any offer for him.

This is a funny time of year. People sign 2 average players and suddenly they are ready to win the CL.

On the other hand you get people calling signings that they've never watched more than youtube highlights off over priced or average and the windows only open 7 days, shall be fun :D
 
The insinuation from Tabarez seems to be that Suarez's bite on Giorgio Chiellini may have been premeditated, in an attempt to force Liverpool into selling him as they had originally agreed, which would add another twist to a bizarre month or so from the disgraced Uruguayan star.

Media sensationalism, however I wouldn't put it past the little twisted genius.
 
I thought Barcelona had already confirmed talks between the two started well before Chiellini shoulder barged him in the face and that made no difference to the transfer?
