How the fuck do you quote on this?
We pulled out of the Fekir deal, VvD now plays for us and were we ever even in for Gotze?

Back on topic: I canāt see how we donāt have the up front ā¬30m available but I fully understand how the club are not willing to spend that sum plus agentsā fees and Thiagoās wages in the current economic climate.

Are we sure this isnāt happening? My impression was that weāre waiting for clarity concerning the situation with Wijnaldum, Grujic, Wilson, etc. ā not necessarily in the sense of having the raise the cash to pay for Thiago, but still with an eye to the financial health of the club.
I still think Thiago happens. I also still think some part of this is getting Bayern to blink.
Edit: An interpretation perhaps (slightly?) born out by the tweet @Kopstar posted?

Just hope this gets done,it is dragging on a bit!
I think the frustration is that Ā£29m wonāt skint the club.
His wages are covered by Lallana and Lovren departure.
Thereās a game every few days and with Shaq, Keita and Ox being injury Prone he is needed.
I donāt expect us to buy mmmbop for Ā£200m but a world class player for Ā£29m should be more than affordable.

So who called HFT in the Thiago thread calling out mods for being koolaid drinkers? Think that was 14-1.
Itās strange. The main purpose of the invitations are that users are able to keep their username. In your case youāve kept your avatar and talked about the change to your username. In most cases where users have changed their username itās still obvious who they were on TIA. I genuinely have no idea which non-banned poster sgs was on TIA.
Edit: It appears that there was/is an sgs on TIA, I just didnāt remember any posts from themā¦

I have finally added an avatar after years of wondering how to do it - When I was transferred over from TIA I was able to choose my squad number and an avatar. The signing on bonus was very very useful as well. What are you going to do with your cash? I have my eye on a new car.

Hasnāt cleared your account either yet? Any day soon Iām sure. And apparently if we wire money to a certain Cayman account (Trustees for the Scott.Jones swear jar fund) first then that will speed things along.

That page is comedy gold on TIA - get in quick before it all disappears.
My two favourites were:

āIf Liverpool sell Coutinho, personally Iām out. As a serious fan, and Iāve been one since the 70s, Iām outā¦ Donāt get me wrong, I understand the business side of the game. But the biz side is supposed to enhance the footballing side, and my question is- where is the football?ā - Aug 2017

āEverybody talks about transfer windows when you bring up our failings on the field. As the manager himself says, the solutions are often on the training side of things.ā - Oct 2017
oh the irony.

Youāre being very kind to not quote the constant criticism he directed towards Klopp, even suggesting he should go on a number of occasions in his first three years.
Even in that second quote he goes on to say,
So what is unrealistic about expecting a manager to find solutions to tactical issues on the field? What else is he there for?
Klopp has had enough time to fix the basic weaknesses of this team.
Hereās another beaut:
Its not about transfer windows. WTF canāt folks get it?
You hire a manager to find solutions. There are 18yr old CBs starting in serie A.
Why cannot Jurgen Klopp find solutions? Its nearly 3 years FFS!!!
Even retarded managers like Dysche are finding solutions in their own way. Why cannot Klopp find his solution, instead of merely cheerleading!!!

Yes, the condescension is eerily similar of a certain posterā¦
I think this will get done before the window shuts and Gini will stay as well.

Jan 28, 2018 Ouch, this aged well!
A lot on here have misjudged the full impact of selling Coutinho at the time we did. Like I said two weeks ago, this is a case of self inflicted sabotage. I pray Iām wrong, but I expect us to next exit the CL. And then face a huge, huge battle for 4th place.
On Coutinho sale -
I am on record here as asking for a full explanation as to the reasoning behind the decision, not willy nilly accepting it.
My take is that there is a general lack of ruthlessness in the club, esp with Klopp. I am quite convinced the decision to sell came down to him. And his decision was based on his humane approach to the game in general, which is refreshing on one hand, but frustrating for a fanā¦
Monaco will not consider a Jan sale. Leipzig will not consider a Jan sale eitherā¦Yet LFC would! How is it these clubs do not have the fear of a disgruntled player in their ranks? Do u think this wouldāve happened at Chelsea our Conte wouldāve sanctioned such a move?
Too many fansy pansy peeps at the helm in the clubā¦
Kloppās statements on the txfer are not nearly enough. The fans need an explanation why it was necessary to sell him now.
Yeah, am out of this argument, trying to explain!
