more apt would be if you keep trying to fix it, manage to do so after 19 odd attempts and run off to the rest of TAN with your finger to your mouth, scolding us for ever having the audacity for not believing in you…
ahem…not that im the type of guy who finds it hard to let go or anything…
bookended by your mate indy?
That car used to have its own twitter account 
I can’t find it now but it’s stock tweet would be to a rumoured target saying, “need picking up at the airport?”.
I recall on one occasion, however, it tweeted “need picking up in the morning, mate?” to Wayne Rooney after he’d been busted down a brothel or something. 
I used to really enjoy the Liverpool transfer related social media bantz. Flight tracking, monitoring the movement of agents, club doctors, lawyers etc, what someone’s liked or followed on twitter/Instagram or whatever.
Who am I kidding? I’m 45 years old and I still get excited about signing new players.
? Jota’s brilliant in the air, one of the best in the league. Mané isn’t too shabby either.
Same here mate on getting excited, (not age - you’re a small number of years ahead in that regard!)
I always begin with the attitude of “fuck it, I’ll wait until the lean and offal stuff” but always get sucked back in!
Same…! During the season I care very little about these things, not even the January window is of much interest to me. But when we get close to the summer window, I can get borderline manic about it. Great fun.
Some of its just really good fun.
I love Indykaila’s self-parody, I loved the whole Duncan Jenkins and his whole “perspiring journalist” skit…
I mean, the club’s communications director threatened him with shit through his letterbox…I mean, wtaf?!
Just total fucking madness.
Can only imagine that they’re not interested in any cash for Nunez and would prefer a straight player swap.
If they want Tsimi, give us Grimaldo (has a year left on his deal).
Neco + £50 mil for Nunez
Exciting signing if he comes. But it will be a new gamble from us.
All the other big money buys we’ve made were a couple of years or more older, with big league experience their belt (Prem, Serie A). We have to get this one right.
A Man City, Man Utd, other oil clubs can do this and quietly write off the contract if it doesn’t suceed. But we need to get these types of signings right to stay in the challenge.
A couple of big money flops will set us back a lot. Salah staying for a year will help a lot, as it could be a Grealish/Sancho type of first year, before exploding under Klopp’s tutelage in the second year.
Dont think weve had a true flop in the Klopp era maybe Naby to some extent but he was a contributor last season.
I trust them with this stuff now we just dont make the big recruiting mistakes we use too. United have taken the lead there now
Further parallels with Torres if we were to sign him.
Nunez would be just 2 or 3 months younger than Torres, who we signed for a club record £34m (according to transfermarkt).
There were doubts about Torres being able to handle the PL but one of the comments about him from a Spanish pundit was that he never scored the same goal twice. He always had so many different ways of scoring. That really stuck with me and was extremely accurate about 'Nando.
Nunez looks similar. Lots of different types of goals.
£34m in 2007 is probably at least double that in today’s money.
Record, paper who broke broke story, saying done deal
then where’s the lean 
You have to ask yourself which is ultimately the most effective strategy? Buying players to suit a different style is no bad thing IF that style makes us better.
Enriques social media posting really irritates me.
I swear it was £26m…
Anyway, That just made me feel really old. Torres was signed 15 years ago.
Yeah, it’s difficult to get a precise figure because of Garcia going the other way. I think it depends on how much you consider Garcia to have been worth but I agree with you that the £34m quoted on transfermarkt was higher than I remembered it to be, which was somewhere between £26m and £30m.
