ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

[Saint Domingo]

Ok but you said they've got no saleable assets. Isak and Wirtz are saleable assets.

I wouldn't say McAllister and Gravenberch are muck.

But everyone sees different things.

Well everyone is a saleable asset obviously. Perhaps I should have specified that by saying ‘that they can sell for significant fees above what they paid for them to provide them with a sizeable transfer kitty to refresh that squad’

Isak has had multiple significant injuries and misses many games a season. No one is even sure whether he’s ever returned to the form he had for Newcastle before he did his hamstring and since then he’s fractured his leg. They’d be lucky to even get 50 mill for him now and thy paid well over 100.

Wirtz has shown he’s just not quick enough to be massively effective in the premier league and when he plays in his favoured position he unbalances the midfield. I don’t think they’d get half of what they paid for him now.

They bankrolled previous successful teams due to massive sales of Torres Alonso Mascherano Suarez Coutinho to top CL teams.

Who are they selling out the current squad that would interest Barcelona Real Madrid City or Bayern to depart with a massive fee like they did for those other players?

Aye, but for zero money. There was idle talk about him getting sold for £100m, so taking that (admittedly highly speculative) valuation into account they're losing around 79 million pounds on Salah. That's about 3/4 of a disappointing German midfielder!

If they’d sold Salah for the reported 100m that was being suggested last summer and saved his 20m a year wages. It’s cost them 120m to keep him on for one season. A bitter kopite said to me, we haven’t let him go on a free we’ve saved 20m in wages next year

Saying this with a genuinely straight face after his team just got smashed 4 nil is absolutely wonderfully deluded.

Truly hilarious stuff.

It's not from today's game

 

[arch stanton]

Their only real saleable assets are Ekitike Szoboslai and Ngumoah. They’ll get nothing significant back now for any of Allison Van Dijk or Salah. Konate and Robertson will go for nothing this summer. As long as no one is stupid enough to pay them any decent money for their muck like McCallsiter Gravenberch or Gakpo, they’re looking at once again needing another summer of huge investment to rebuild (on top of the 50 mill CB they’ve already agreed a deal for). Let’s see if FSG will go to the well again or whether they reasonably ask WTF happened to the last 450 mill we gave you?

we all know that somehow they get the Brightons and Southamptons of this world to pay £45m+ for their middle of the road dross

Fitting for a bunch of pretenders.

I’ve probably posted similar to this before but what really winds me up about that lot is how they are displaying all the behaviours that they have ridiculed us for in the last decade. One bad season and they’ve reverted to everything they’ve always claimed they are better than.

“We’d never boo our own player”
“We don’t boo after bad results “
“We stick behind our manager”

Worse than ignore the blatant hypocrisy of them, some of their apologists in the press have tried to justify it . “It takes a lot for this lot to turn but they’ve been patient for far too long now” seems to be the main angle they are going for.

Don't you know? It means more when they boo so its not like when other fans boo apparently.

Ngumoha Is nothing more than a ‘run fast and fall over’ merchant.

Because he plays for Die Scheiße he’s automatically classified as the best young player in the werld.

Having said that, Bournemouth will probably pay £50m for him as they did with previous dross like Ibe and Solanke.

Has anyone said that, like? He’s an exciting young player and has defo been billed as such, but I don’t recall anyone getting overly carried away about him.

He was getting the full Dowman treatment after his winner at the geordie kop.

Not heard much since

I honestly think it’s one of the weirdest flexes in football, to brag that you stick with a manager for longer than is objectively right. It just makes your top brass look thick and desperate for something to change by itself.

The fact that lot haven’t got rid yet makes me think there’s real money worries behind the scenes, because they’re defo not hanging on out of any real prospect of him turning it around.

I genuinely don’t remember that, so fair enough if so. Since then, though, I’ve defo not heard anything OTT. And even if I had, this season more than most I’d understand their fans wanting to talk up a young prospect because the senior players have all gone to pot!
