Kostas 1,468 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Financial Fair play closing in fast. Every million is important.I have seen that argument a lot of times and I can't understand it. Their fees are going to get amortised anyway and any contract signed after June 2010 will be included under Financial Fair Play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheva. 5,373 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 And Villa are lining up his replacement - N'zogbia (who i consider the better player) for 9m. Lol Kenny D strikes again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 TBH im finding Liverpool buying all these average players for massive prices hilarious Should we tell them Turnbull is available for £30m? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kostas 1,468 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Thank god Chelsea buys youngster, so we don't have to pay a lot for average English players!Well if we are honest only 1 of the 10 youngsters we buy will manager over 10 PL starts for us (and that if we're lucky) while all the players Liverpool signed are going to be valuable and usable squad members. It's just that their fees are insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Did this really need its own thread?Anyway. £82.5million = Carroll, Downing, Henderson & Adam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Term-X 7,891 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 £20m... Downing's 27 years old in a weeks time as well, lmao.Great deal for Villa, N'Zogbia should only cost them around £10m too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortilla9 390 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Did this really need its own thread?Anyway. £82.5million = Carroll, Downing, Henderson & Adam.Those are crazy numbers. Buying English (I know Adam is Scottish) seems to equal overpriced in my mind. But the LFC love affair continues in the media. I saw this somewhere:"Only Liverpool would consider Carroll, Henderson, and Adam an upgrade over Torres, Mascherano, and Alonso." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostas 1,468 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Having read SwissRamble's analysis on Liverpool it seems those transfers might make some sense if the new players are on low wages.Despite their alarmingly high fees if we assume that the contracts of Henderson, Caroll, Downing and Adam will cost Liverpool less or equal to what Jovanovic, Cole, Poulsen etc cost then they will have added much depth and arguably known and proven quality to their squad while drastically reducing the wagebill. Add to that the usual arguments like after-sale value, potential, possible benefits of buying British(?) etc and those deals sound a bit less unreasonable.

Kojo 4,676 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Big fan of Downing, he used to live round the corner from me, i live in parkend and he used to live there. Good player for the boro, always played very good for us. He done very good at villa too, only seen him once in middlesbrough never got the chance to talk to him though. But i'll agree i don't think he's worth 20 million, but i can garauntee he won't be a flop, he may not deliver his price tag value but he always plays well and i think he will do well for liverpool.

Blue In Green 86 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Downing for 20 million, Carroll for 35 million...nice to see jingoism alive and well in English football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
