The College Dropout Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Surely it makes far more sense for the 21 year old to take the pay day than the 28 year old who has already had his pay day? At 21 you need game time to develop. 25-28 is the peak for players in terms of earnings. Realistically, 28 is your last long-term contract. If you don't start earning the massive money at that age, it probably won't ever come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Man at some point these guys have to have some perspective. £2.3 million a year. This is something most people wouldn't ever dream they could make growing up, never mind at 21 years old. Personally, I would accept that and be in the first team with Gerrard, Suarez and Sturridge, rather than training hard all week for nothing. I do get your point though, I'm sure my take on things is not a popular one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumpet Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 But think how much worse things would be if you'd lost Salah AND Dunkin' Donuts. Very good point. I think Dunkin has the potential to contribute to the squad next season. Need a loan in Championship first to get used to physicality and grit of the English football first, though.

Trumpet Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Sorry but I can't have any sympathy for Liverpool fans. Your lot have spent a fortune in the last few years. Totally understandable. But people fail to realize we make f*** load of money too. The most money a non-CL team makes from anywhere in Europe. A lot of revenue. It's not Chelsea/City style owner spending. Ever since the Carroll/Downing debacle, it seems like the owners are afraid to surpass the 15M mark for a player. But, top players are expensive for a reason. Well, looks like we'll need an awesome luck with injuries and Suarez/Sturridge to keep their form up for rest of the season to have a chance at maintaining top 4. Really thought this would be the window where we'd make a statement. I was wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do get your point though, I'm sure my take on things is not a popular one. Your not most people. Your sons peers are also multi-millionaires. I remember Paul Ince saying he was really disappointed when Tom joined Blackpool. He'd rather he fight it out some more and try and get into the L'pool side. And with that the money wasn't an issue.

BottledDog Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 "but Newcastle offered Basel a good first offer and now him coming to us in the summer was in doubt if Basel & Newcastle agree a fee" Hot damn.

Trumpet Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 So, you get ready in the morning. Make yourself look good. Go and get the bus and there's this attractive young woman giving you the eye. You get on the bus and she moves her bag so you can sit there, whilst flashing you a smile, but you go and sit at the back. You can wait. Then this nice girl at work keeps ending you flirty emails, but you don’t really get involved. You can wait. Then on your lunch break you clock the office bike giving you the come to bed look, and she comes over and whispers in your ear that she wants to take you to the toilet for a quickie. Nah, you say. I'm alright. Then you go home, w*** and play Super Nintendo. Then a few days later, you're on the bus and go to sit next to the same woman on the bus....but wait, she's chatting away to another young man! Sh*t! Its ok though, that girl at work. Get there and email her....no wait, what? She's emailing your mate?! Fu*k! I know, you think. I'll go for lunch at 1, that woman will be well up for it. And on the way, you see her dragging some bloke into the bogs! Noooooo!!! Fu*k it though, right? Out with the lads tonight. You'll pull there. So there you are, in this grotty club and the lines aren’t working. The birds are annoyed cos you're being a cheapskate and not buying them drinks. It’s alright though, cos I'm sure there are some horrible looking fat skags somewhere who'll be well up for it. We've all been there. But wait? No! Even they aint up for it tonight. So you can go home and have a cry w*** instead, and wonder why you're single and not getting f*cking laid. spilled coffee all over my work desk reading this at work. Great analogy after a failed transfer (covers all the monitoring the situation, lowballing, waiting a bit, eyeing a transfer, etc parts well) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
