Opps, missed a m out, edited now.
That could be to do with the colour of his skin though. Barcelona have only got 2 black players left in their first team squad and haven't even been linked to any in quite a while. It may just be a coincidence though.
I think that's a decent enough price for Mascherano, at least his TYPE of play is replaceable in Lucas/Poulsen, albeit Lucas isn't the finished article and Poulsen is majorly unfit, but at least now surely you must get some sort of funds for...someone.
glad there are still some genuinely laugh out loud moments on this forum.
Most Liverpool fans know we will not see a penny of that money. God I hate our con-men owners.
Without the leveraged buyout Liverpool had an operating profit of £24m. With the clowns in charge we make a net loss of £10m thanks to debt. I know Utd/Arse/Chelsea fans must be loving it, but it's just so unfair that this whole situation was thrown on us out of our control. It's not like Leeds where we outspent our means, we've just been screwed over by a leveraged buyout (Moores and Parry need to look at themselves here) - same is true for Utd but they might survive due to larger revenue streams.
Why is it a joke?
He was signed on loan and then given a 3 year deal. 3 years was worth the gamble because especially for his first year at everton he looked incredibly light weight and pretty damn average. If he'd been given a 5 year deal and flopped people would question the sanity of signing him.
The rumour is he's been offered 60k+ per week which although he's decent enough he doesn't deserve partity with a Cahill or Arteta. He was plucked from a career going nowhere. We did him a favour now he thinks he's worth more than 60k per week. Atleast Cahill and Arteta remember that and have rewarded the club with loyalty.
He really isn't that good either, he had one decent season last year and now he things his ronaldhino. I couldn't careless if we sold him for 8-10 million.
Sell him on then now.
The only bit thats a joke is us making 4th.
How's it laugh out loud? Did i say you'd spend £20m on a player? It must at least allow some sort of leverage for a player, or a loan.
Inflated ego from his (brief) World Cup, perhaps.
Sorry mate, I wasn't having a go at you, just despairing at our current situation.
It's laugh out loud, because chances are we won't get more than £4m of that money total to reinvest in the squad. Try replacing Masch with a £4m player - it can't be done. Liverpool's fall to mid-table mediocrity is almost complete.
Well Adebayor basically wants to leave...http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereve...e_away_from_city?page=2&page_size=25#comments
Now Adebayor doesnt want to be considering the move he wants to be doing it...the guy shows no passion whats so ever,i can now see what Arsenal fans bang on about...Anyways its not a big loss as Balotelli is twice the player Ade will ever be....and Ade leaving gives Jo/Nimley a better chance of playing/bench

Serious ?
So now you have to have a certain amount of coloured players in your squad and have to be linked to a certain amount of coloured players not to be deemed racist.
Based on your theory, Barca will be shortly only letting a few coloured fans entering the Camp Nou at a time.

Really? He's only been with you for 3 full seasons
but he was vital to all our success... oh wait :|
very good destroyer, always came across as a right **** though, a player in the same mold as Lucio, talented at his position but a cheating **** when it came to diving and making a meal of everything from phantom feet to being sniped in the face.
Doesn't matter how good you are, them antics stain you as a player. Hate 90% of the barca team for it, so he'll fit right in.
Ade wants to leave and so does Santa Cruz, that leaves you with 1 proven striker. I'm pretty sure Mancini said Santa Cruz could go, not sure on his stance regarding Ade. Ade has experience and although is a lazy soab he will get you some goals in a season. Balotelli is completely unproven yet he is going to be your only "decent" stand in for Tevez. Jo is awful, he was awful in russia and is awful in the prem. I'd be surprised if both leave as if they did you'd be woefuly short up top.
I think it'd be a mistake for City letting Adebayour go. You're going to have a long season, and relying on your youngsters won't help (Nimely/Caicedo), leaving Tevez/Balotelli out of the ones you're likely to keep/play. I don't see Robinho staying if they get a half decent offer.
Tevez/Balotelli/Ade/Jo is more like it, imo.
Tevez/Balotelli/Ade/Jo is more like it, imo.
Agreed. Attitude or not, he was still 9th top goalscorer in the Prem last season. Though if he's willing to just roll over with the arrival of Balotelli and not fight for his place I don't see why he would improve or at least repeat last seasons form. Would like to at least see some desire to stay.
Almost as shocking as you having nothing useful to say.
He's not dreaming Frank, you just don't have a clue what you're talking about
The only reason Masch is allowed to leave for anything like ~£24m (if that's what he's sold for) is because if he doesn't leave now then his value would halve next summer. He's considerably better than a couple of other midfielders that were sold this summer for similar fees and imo better than Alonso who was sold for at least £6m more last summer too.
From our point of view there wasn't a lot we could do; only 1 serious bidder in the market and in reality we had to sell him this summer.
He was sold for what he was worth - if you had got double the price then the original post would have been correct
opinions differ - just because you dont agree no need to be rude , if anything makes you further in the wrong as the paid amount is now fact (ie £17.25m to start)
Even with 2 years to go he would be worth more than what IS being paid if his actual value was nearer this completely fictional £30m
Really? He's only been with you for 3 full seasons
Servant may not have been the best word Pigeon could have used but in his 3 and a half seasons, there's not been a more consistent player for us.
Neither Lucas or Poulsen (Poulsen in particular) are fit enough to lace Masch's boots.
Lucas can do a job there and against lesser teams I'm sure Poulsen could too but as we saw against City, Masch is a huge loss. However saying that, we have little choice but to sell him and providing the money is reinvested, it's possible that the money could be used to improve the squad as a whole.
He was sold for what we could get, not what he was worth. With only 1 bidder and Masch insistent on leaving, we had no choice. We're not in a position like City where we can take a £10m hit on his transfer fee. This was the last chance to get sizable fee for Masch, if we didn't sell him this season we'd be lucky to get ~£13m for him next summer.
edit: and where's this 'fact' that the initial fee is £17.25m?
