RS don’t want Ings and is injured prone but get £20m.
TBF some of the players Liverpool are trying to offload are better quality than some of the crap we have. We saw first hand how decent Ings can be on Saturday. Benteke and Sakho are both quality too (or at least capable of quality if they can be arsed). The money they got for Ibes, (an England U21 at the time) is no different to where we are with Lookman.

But for all their successes they've had loads more they can't offload and have loaned year after year. Some of them they paid a few shillings or too. Names like Origi, Borini, Aspas,Balotelli, Markovic.

Cherry pick the good deals if you want, but they've had their own nightmares over the years too.

The difference we have this year though, as I said earlier, is we have about 15+ we're trying to offload at the same time and everybody knows it. It's a thankless task for Marcel.
 

It`s working out much much better than I could ever have imagined in my wildest dreams.
Oh I agree mate. I was talking more about the fact that most if the deals are being done on loans rather than sale. It's what I expected.

I think the icing on the cake is that M&M appear to be in complete agreement with the fans. The players they don't want are the exact same ones we wanted shut off. I know this would appear logical to most, but I can think of a lot of managers who would have a completely different viewpoint.

I keep pinching myself sometimes as I can't believe how much our club has turned around since May.
 
Speaking of Boro, I read an article wherein Pulis was praising their CB Aden Flint. It got me thinking: wouldn't it be great to see a team with that Brazilian bloke who plays for Man U, City's John Stones and Boro's highly praised CB in it. Imagine a passing move between the three of them: the commentary would go "Fred...Flint...Stones..."

Ideal at Boro with Pulis and his caveman tactics...

Markovic is up their with Klassen and bolasie for bad buys. Sadly that was under the previous regime. Klopp has barely made a bad signing karius apart (and thank goodness he did) since he’s been there. United have a number of players who they have paid big money for and dont even make the bench. Hopefully under Brands our mistakes of the past won’t be repeated.

Back in the early 80s in NZ, late on a Sunday night, was a slot 'The Sunday Horrors': played a lot of Hammer House stuff etc...great fun. Me and Dad (RIP) used to have such a laugh watching some of them. Apposite of your caveman reference, here is the trailer to probably our biggest laugh:

 
Didn't know I would ever be saying this but it is utterly cathartic getting rid of players. You can stuff your yoga and meditation all you need to do is bottle this feeling:

Deep breath

*Bolasie to Boro*

Deep breath

*Besic to Boro*

Deep breath

*Martina to Stoke*

Deep breath

*Williams to Stoke*

Do that 10 times and I guarantee you will feel a million dollars. You can even mix it up by adding a Rooney or Klaassen, it works just as well if not better.
 
So, outs : Rooney, Williams, Mirallas, Klaassen, Funes Mori,Vlasic, Cuco, Bolasie, Besic...would that be about 25 mio a year off the wage bill?

that's some going that.

and reading thro that list , its no wonder we were sooo sooo bad last year. that list is makes for horrendous reading.. dear me

not a single player in that list would get in a good premier league team.. so that rules out 17 teams

Marcel is an actual GOD
