something obviously happened at the club then, he probably wanted the new owners to buy in decent defenders and decent wingers or something along those lines and nothing happened.
how much was he on at liverpool and whats his new wages?
Maybe it was just too little too late.
I can't imagine that LB (name escaped me from Fulham) and Poulson were the type of players a Liverpool side of years gone by would be after.
I don't imagine it was soley money motivated, if it was he'd be at City. Chelsea are a team who are in contention for Cups, it's a sad day when a player leaves one of the European power houses to join Chelsea. I'd say it shows a shift in power within English football.
