And Klopp hypocrite, whining bitch complaining about our spending. That's over 200m pounds for 3 players. 

Didn’t they also spend a shit load on Darwin too. I stopped listening to Klopp talking about our spending ages ago

[NikkiCFC 8,285]

Looks like Caicedo doesn't care or has any saying 🤷 Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool all same for him. Hard to respect people like that. Remember VVD who wanted only Liverpool? If someone offered more to Southampton back then he would refuse to go. 

Transfer request for Arsenal, missing training for Chelsea end up in Liverpool. Plus that contract he signed. Very questionable personality not sure he has what it takes to succeed at highest level.

Wonder what Lavia thinks about all this mess, second fiddle to everyone. Maybe we get him and he gets a point to prove.

Or he doesn’t want to be seconds and stays at Saints.

He has one good season and people act like he is the best thing ever at that position. 
 

Remember when we spent 100 mil last time on a player that was meant to change it all. We went from 12th to… 12th. 
 

We are buying players on the up, some with experience, and guys that are undervalued. 
 

Kante, Dave, James, Costa, Silva, Rudiger, etc….

All players that came on the cheaper side or through the academy or that were “second choice” and they won us silverware. 

[Fulham Broadway 17,299]

Suddenly Rice looks good value - hopefully he will be as great a signing for them as when they paid 50m for Andy Carrol

That 100m player played under 2 complete clowns, he will show his class this season but not sure his partner will hold up.

I'm sorry, but that comes across as a strawman argument.

No one wanted Caicedo because he cost 100m, they wanted him because he is highly rated.

Lukaku on the other hand already divided opinion before his arrival. Myself and several others on this forum expressed concerns about his arrival.

 

EDIT: I see you mean Enzo, but my argument about Caicedo stands

They offering 110m. Do people really think we should go over it? 

no

£115m is what BELLINGHAM ( a VASTLY better player) cost, lolol

[Duppy Conqueror 1,526]

Wait and see who we spend the money saved on..hopefully dive in and snatch Kudus,then Lavia or Zubimendi. And still have money left over.

Both Brighton and Liverpool wanted Colwill. And BOTH  lost out. We keep him and he never cost a penny. Fenway Red Sox Sports Group now end up paying 110m (!!!) which is more than Rice, for a player Brighton bought recently for 4million. Their forums laughing at us for such little reason....

Will these jokers take that £100m and offer it for some other midfielder now? Someone who perhaps wasn’t available but their club cannot possible turn down £85-100m? Barella? 

not a chance

that is not their model

they buy very low and sell VERY high

they have more than a few gems who they will flip for insane money down the road

the potentials for large sales:

Bart Verbruggen  
Pervis Estupiñán 
Tariq Lamptey 
Billy Gilmour 
Jakub Moder 
Yasin Ayari  
Facundo Buonanotte  
Kaoru Mitoma 
Simon Adingra  
Julio Enciso 
João Pedro 
Evan Ferguson

Abdallah Sima (on loan)

[Fulham Broadway 17,299]

Anyway, in one year Santos will be better
