Hey have you guys heard about how we’re signing Samir Nasri?

Delph hasnt gone ?
You need it to sound less "heard it down the pub" than this.
Something like:
'Rumours about us going after free agent Samir Nasri as backup to Rodriguez'
That would get the sheets wet.
….I never get these ‘bottom half premier player‘ or ‘Championship player’ shouts. Sometimes a player is just what a team needs, regardless of where they have come from. It’s about blend and partnerships. Wayne Clarke and Paul Power joined us from humble backgrounds and were crucial in us winning a title. That’s an aside.
We desperately needed wingers and we’ve brought two in. Yes, they are underwhelming but I expect both will be more effective than Bernard. I’m not defending the purchases, only time will tell on how good they are, but I assume we won’t bring more in. Just my assumption, I might be wrong but I expect other positions to be filled next.

Absolutely spot on Eggs, similar to the ‘bargain basement’ and OAP shouts, our last true success was built on OAP’s and players brought in for pennies. If they work (like power, clarke et al) worked, it is declared shrewd transfer business. If it doesn’t work, they have cost us pennies anyway, so whats not to like? Add a quality RB and a midfield general, add a few more to the binned list and I will be quite satisfied with our business.
wonder why we went with begovic instead of romero

Isn't the proper rumour format "just seen [insert player name] at the cash machine in West Derby"?

Big difference signing players like Clarke & power when you’re one of the best 2 teams in the country. Power had a great season in 87 and Clarke scored some very important goals. But you could argue the players we signed in 87/88 started our downfall, while Liverpool were signing the likes of Barnes and Beardsley.
Townsend has probably finished in the bottom half of the league all his career. Apart from his early days at Spurs. Gray, bit part at a Leicester team that after winning the league, they finished 12th, 9th and 9th. It’s not hard to work out what these players are. I have no issues signing these as cheap back up squad players.
But if one of these is a regular on the right amd the other plays on the left, while we wait for Richarlison to get back. It will be another 10th 12th finish.

I'm guessing Romero didn't want to swap not playing football for Utd for not playing football for us. That and wages.
Begovic will be cheaper and happy to sit on the bench.
Romero currently doesn't play football for anyone.
romero wanted to join us last season but utd blocked the move and his wife kicked off at man utd for it

That was before Pickford started to bother himself to perform.
Can’t remember if reliable but read somewhere he wants to play first team wherever he goes.
Depends how you look at it. We paid £28mil for a striker who scored I think two goals in his first season with us before buggering off to Paris where he hopes to go again.We 'got rinsed' for Kean?believe the consensus at the time was that it was a great deal....
That’s not really the point of my post though, point is we have overspent on a lot of transfers and if people think we’re skint that’s a good thing for our negotiations.
