Did they actually get a decent fee for Pulisic? Mad if so, based on his last couple of seasons with Chelsea. Kovacic deserved a decent fee. No recollection of the fee that Loftus Cheek went for but he’s decent so fair enough. I think you significantly overpaid for Mount in all honesty

As of now we've massively overpaid for Mount, but I was very happy with the signing at the time and am optimistic for the future with him. Just needs to avoid injuries and get properly settled into the team.

 

I think Pulisic and Loftus Cheek both went for around ÂŁ15-20m each which is good business.

 

They've still Lukaku to sell in the summer and then a good bit of money coming in for Hall.

Around £20m for Pulisic

Sometimes managers do buy managers off the backs of WCs tbf.  Remember when Ron Atkinson was your manager and went to the USA WC as a pundit - he overpaid for a centre forward because of it.

 

Alright, John Fashanu was also there as a pundit rather than as a player, but you know, Big Ron liked him.  And Fashanu probably wasn’t in the room for the off-air commentary. 

 

 

 

 

At the time, when Atkinson went out to do his punditry, the fans were complaining that he would be in the US for the entire tournament, when he should be here, working transfers for the new season.

 

He replied "I'm going to be amongst the best players in the world, where better to be to sign good players?"

 

And then came back with a pundit.

Just think the absolute fucking GOLDness of 65m for a homegrown like Mount.

They got solid fees for Mount, Loftus Cheek, Mendy, Koulibaly, Kovacic and Pulisic as well.

 

Their spending in 22/23 was madness though.

 

They corrupted their way to getting fees for Mendy and Koulibaly. Mason Mount was as poor an indictment of the Man Utd transfer policy as Antony and Sancho

Fuck off Pereira you cheating cunt.


Absolutely. But then there’s this double Football Pet Hate from the BBC text:

 

“We've seen this before. One goal down, time wasting opposition, player diving and adding 12 rolls as he goes. But we are built different, going to enjoy beating this lot.

James, Bedford”

 

Pet Hate #1: No James, you’re not built different, you’re cheating cunts like the rest of us. You just perhaps do it less because you’ve got more money…

 

Pet Hate #2: …and what’s with the “we”? Maybe you moved to Bedford to escape Toxteth. Or maybe, just maybe, you are built different…as a glory-hunting cunt from the Home Counties.

As much as I want Liverpool to go out, it would be typical of NUFC to have been 1 minute away from only needing to beat Boro and Fulham to win a cup :lol: 

It is better for us if Liverpool wins the cup, if any of the other teams win it, then they would qualify to the Europa Conference League as EFL champions, and that means there would be fewer seats from the league that would qualify to Europe.
