Davies signed as back up to back up, exceptional circumstances.

We will make money on it, but his purpose at Liverpool was to provide cover for the cover for the cover…

Good Post, as far as I'm concerned we are getting left behind. We are going to struggle over the coming years fielding home grown players of a good enough standard, the cost of these players (of a high quality) are at odds with FSG spending.
Clubs are being bent over a barrel for average English players let alone top ones.
We have a squad that really seems to have become injury prone (our drop off from first 11 obviously exacerbates this) the least injury prone has just left.
Not sure what the answer is other than sell one of our stars (Coutinho) and re invest.

We have Trent & Jones who both are home grown.

Gordon looks an incredible bit of business. I think barring injury he will become a 1st team player for us. Elliott should as well.

Getting the best english talent at 16 & bringing them through is the way to do it.
We are getting another highly rated english youngster in Clark as well.

If some more young playes come through or academy we will be able to attract more of the best youngters at 16 than rather pay huge money like Man td did for Sancho

Our academy as been improving over the last 10 years or so.

David Lynch saying that Ben Davies is going to Sheff U (confirmed by their manager).

We want to sell, but it’s likely to be a loan first.

In that same interview, Jokanovic also says Sheffield United are interested in Ronaldo Vieira. With a name like that, we should be interested as well, there's no way he'd turn out to be anything other than awesome.

He was decent at Leeds but he's never going to be our standard.

Oh and also, his brother's called Romario.

Nice. Although having heard the news about one Lionel Messi being available, I'm hoping John Henry might be so inclined as to give him an invite to stay on his private yacht.

So it actually does look like Davies was signed for a low fee simply to flip for profit.

Davies and Kabak were just low cost panic buys at the end of the window after Matip got injured, to give us natural centre half options. Kabak impressed enough to get a run in the side, Davies didn't.

I know we wont get Messi. But I want to dream.
Financially, he'd sell enough shirts in those 2 or 3 years and with the Nike deal that gives us a percentage of sales, we'd probably make it back anyway.
Squad wise, he makes no sense with regards to our system, but it's Messi. If there's even a 0.00001% chance of it happening, I'll take it. He's 34 but still better than anyone on the planet and the history of the game for me.
I'll be genuinely upset if he actually joins any other premier league club.

Dave McCoy · « **Reply #107 on:** August 5, 2021, 10:24:39 pm »

The more I think about it the more it seems clear to me that there probably isn't anybody that we would sign that would tip the scales more our way as things stand now vis-a-vis winning the league or CL. That's not to say we shouldn't sign someone as we clearly need to replace Gini's minutes without trusting a Keita/Milner/Ox trifecta to do it. But our failure or success is going to depend more on VvD's health and Mane/Salah's output than anything else. If those are in the 90%+ range of performance then we'll probably be within a shout. If not then signing an industrious midfielder isn't going to change that just as Gini playing all those minutes last year didn't change those results as well.

I just read* that we've refused to sign Messi as we don't want to block Kaide Gordon's pathway.

Nice white typeface there

If it were actually true that would actually be grounds for marching on the stadium against FSG, would be amazing.

Neither us nor Barca are in any position to afford Gifs.
Only enough budget for low res jpegs.

We're not going to sign Messi but fucking hell, can you imagine what he would be like playing for Liverpool? I mean, we'd have to accept he won't do much defensive work but it would be such a thrill. Hope to fuck, he signs for Paris or someone like that and does not play in the premier league.
