"How the money is generated is irrelevant"        

 

Well thats quite an astonishing statement and is really the crux of our differing opinions.  Because in my mind it is not just super relevant it is ultimately the difference between breaking the rules, cheating in fact or playing by the rules.  If thats what you genuinely think then you are basically saying theres nothing wrong with financial doping!!  Thats actually exactly what you are saying which is why were never going to see eye to eye.

 

Liverpool's purchase of Allison and vVD were paid for by the sales of Coutinho and Ward alone, with money left over.  So as "f*cking amazing" as BB finds it i consider that completely bona fide and shows financial accountability.  They had to weaken themselves in order to reinvest.

 

City's financial report for 2017 shows 220m quid accrued from 'other commercial activity'.

 

How many barrels of oil is that out of interest?

Seriously mate, why shouldn't City be allowed to lead the way in financial doping?

 

What are you on about now? Financial doping? More uneducated accusations. So come on then, you know the format on this forum, back up/substantiate your comment  or be viewed as making idiotic statements.

Who are you accusing of breaking rules? If it's City (no doubt  it is, can't  help yourself) them stump up the facts if you are to be taken  seriously.

 

Your comment  that refers to me seems once more to be a misunderstanding  of my earlier  comments, which were, i have no problem  with liverpool  or anyteam spending but i resent the outrage on here when we buy a player.

Nice try to keep talking about City in here and then we get accused of talking about City. More than happy to continue on the City thread should you wish

To be fair, Liverpool generated a large sum from the sale of Coutinho and if they overpay for Allisson they have surely underpaid for Shaquiri. Swings and roundabouts.

How the money is generated is irrelevant. The net effect on the market is the same and trying to justify it by saying the money came from previous player sales is just giving yourself (not you champs) an imaginary comfort blanket.

From this thread. If you go back in this thread to 1st June you'll see it. The numbering must be different for Mods as posts removed must still be count

Actually Wilia I'd  like to the glory for stimulating the action on here these past few days, with my post accusing some on here of hypocrisy by puckering up to liverpool while always criticising  City. Your welcome.

Champers, you're not wrong about the "i can piss higher than you crap", damn forum drags us all down. 

 

I'm  guessing that you're  another that didn't pick your club but was born in to it.

Correct. Great win v Halifax last week in pre-season, though last time we played them pre-season they beat us. We won our first game of the season  5-0 aeay at Leicester following on from that. What a sport!

How did you get on v Dortmund?

Jurgen Klopp after the Pogba transfer in 2016: 

 

“Other clubs can go out and spend more money and collect top players, yes. Do I have to do it differently to that? Actually, I WANT to do it differently. I would even do it differently if I COULD spend that money."

 

 

 

Klopp asked about the Pogba comments that have been recirculated recently. "That's the problem with press conferences....whatever bullshit you say gets remembered"

LFC 1-3 BVB....Van Dijk with our goal. Two late goals cost us. Controlled the game but Solanke, Ojo and Moreno all missed sitters in 2nd half. Matip off injured early doors. Karius looks like he isn't even trying! He has to go! Pulisic was BVB's best player by a street.

we're nowhere near full strength but it was still a bit sloppy to concede the two goals we did. i'm really not bothered about pre-season matches, particularly commercial jaunts to places like the US, but it's nice to see keita looking lively.

 

and no wonder klopp wants to sign pulisic.

I imagine Wilai is working on a mock-up of Phil Foden in a Liverpool shirt, as we speak.
