Indeed, Stu.

These are worrying times for those of us whom thought Moshiri had ushered in a new paradigm

There are definite signs that not getting a fee for Barkley has prevented us bringing in a forward mate. However, we've just paid out £10m on a position that Koeman didn't consider to be an immediate need, plus an amount, currently unknown, on an 18yo for our development squad (on top of about £10m already paid out on young players). We're turning away loan deals for Kev/Robles/Lennon/Niasse that would all bring in money and reduce our wage bill significantly. They're not signs that we are hard up for cash.

I may well be proven wrong, but for the moment I'm going to give the club the benefit of the doubt and accept that our inability to bring in a much needed decent striker is down to a combination of inefficiency on our part, and the most suitable players not being available. We aren't the only club not to bring in what we need this window, nor the biggest for that matter.

Still desperately disappointing end to the window though.

Ross though. Made up it looks like he isn't leaving this window, and will be more made up if he signs that new 'kin contract.

Seriously though...is he alright? does he have genuine issues here?

Azzurri · August 31, 2017

Merson has just said "you can't live in Liverpool all your life".

Can't believe my nan's got to move away soon, gutted.

Feel a bit sorry for him as he clearly has an awful agent, whatever mistakes/indecision the lad himself has made his agent shouldn't be allowing it to become such a public farce.

Didn't realise it was London.

Big question though is did he reject it to sign the contract or does he want a free next year.

If he doesn't sign the contract tomorrow then I'd put him on gardening leave for the season.

How much of a knobhead does he look right now?

Refuses to sign a new contract. Waits all summer for a move. Goes for a medical at last year's champions. Changes his mind and gets off.

This is stunning.

Him and his agent are an absolute laughing stock; they've had a nightmare
