Did it say why FSG decided to sell LFC?

At first they said that they would invite new shareholders, since that time the main owners in the FSG group have said they would be interested in a complete buy out.

Strange the sell out, but they have made a massive return. Bought for 300 million and now to sell for multi Billion is insane. 

Because Chelsea was sold recently they can use that evaluation to ask for more for Liverpool.

Interesting that four Dubai groups have contacted the U.S. group that is handling the evaluation and sale of the club. All four of the approaches have stalled once they were shown the level of financial verification that would be required to place a binding bid.

This is one of two reasons they are selling. They saw our price and want similar. Other reason is disappointment over failed Super League project.

Where is Gvardiol, he is more needed right now.

Watching our matches. Simon Phillips said last week that Chelsea had fresh talks with his agent about contract terms.

It is not really about buying players every now and then, it is about bringing out the best in them. You can't buy a player and then limits his ability with a very poor style of play. Then we start saying let's buy Mr X and Q. I see no point in it. If Halaand was here with the way we play, he would struggle.

I think players like Haaland would rip it up anywhere but when we sign players purely on potential like Havertz, Pulisic who show signs here and there but are still inconsistent they get lost here same as those with nice highlight reels in tinpot leagues like k2 and Ziyech or system reliant  players like Sterling or Werner

 

the only players who work regularly for us are those who have obvious world class ability , maturity and consistency beyond their years such as Kante, RJ or those who identify with the club and make up for lack of talent with mentality and passion like Azpi, Mount

 

we desperately have to make sure we only buy players from the latter categories

Quite right. In the end it comes down to a simple requirement; buy good footballers irrespective of the size of their reputations. Doing this is about judgement and discipline. The judgement to recognise high quality players, and the discipline not to settle for less.

• For all positions technical excellence is an entry level requirement. You are not automatically in if you have it, but you are automatically out if you don't. 
• Technical excellence is best judged by the ease and efficiency with which a footballer carries out the simple tasks not the flashy stuff.
• Once a transfer target passes the technical excellence test then, and only then, look for the other attributes you want.

You have made some good points here. What I do not agree is the fact that a player like Haaland can do it here. Mehn we rarely create chances for our players upfront. Creativity in our midfield is almost inexistent. All we do is passing sideways and backwards recycling possession. We aren't direct at all and our build up is quite slow. World class strikers would suffer in our pattern of play. No creativity

Yes and no, world class strikers impose such a confidence in teams, teams are willing to hit balls they wouldn't because they no who's up top. If you have noticed lately our movement is so slow and stale, also players like haaland scare defences to death which then opens massive holes that wouldn't normally be there.

Yes top strikers scare defences to death only in a functional system that bring out the best in them. So many of our attackers have become a mediocre of themselves in our team. Example Sterling used to be above average and a force to reckon with while at Liverpool and later at Man City and those teams are right here in the premier league. Over here he looks quite average. Same can be said of some other attacking players in our squad who were superstars at their former clubs and am sure will still be superstars in their next club after us. Why do goals dry up for most top high scoring players which we buy?

I do think It is because we hardly think of attacking the opponent. Or does the coach tell them to play that way?

Can't he tell his players to attack in games? So many things I do not understand.

 Watching our games looks quite funny these days. These guys passes the ball in their half as if points are given for ball possession.

Christ you just know that Nkunku will be playing LW or RW with Havertz or Mount at CAM.
