I suppose its completely down to the fact that the minute they don't have the money narrative, they have to admit that we're a more attractive club forbolayers to come to and that would fucking kill them.

I had a dipper trying to explain to me that they were European royalty

I said "like prince andrew"?

Bit harsh on Prince Andrew, if you ask me. Child molester he may be, but that's still not as low as a scouser :lol:

He looks like the lovechild of Fernando Alonso and Rafa Benitez. Just another cock polisher trying to appease the vermins at our expense.

Another Liverpool myth bites the dust with ex-players and media in denial:

Robbie Fowler 26/6:

Liverpool clearly ran some “unemotional calculations” when debating whether to extend Sadio Mané’s contract.
Fowler asks the question, “what calculations have they run on Salah?”
...
Fowler notes that Salah’s form has dipped considerably in recent months and wonders whether “time is catching up” with the Egyptian international.
In Fowler’s eyes, the question thus has to be, can Salah “stay at the summit of world football well into his 30s, or will he begin to fade?
...
Fowler is of the opinion that Liverpool “won’t be breaking their wage structure to keep him.” The former England international believes a new deal for Salah “would have happened by now” if Liverpool were willing to hand him the £400,000 a week he desires.
But the issue, as Fowler elucidates, is that is not how Liverpool operate as a footballing institution.
They are not Manchester United. They don’t give the big-name players whatever they want just to keep them happy.
Liverpool instead look to acquire the services of humble, yet top class players, who aren’t looking to obtain an extortionate salary.
It’s part of the reason for why Darwin Nuñez has been brought in this summer to replace Mané.
The Uruguay international may have cost Liverpool up to £85.5 million through transfer fees, but he demands a weekly wage of just over £100,000 a week. Mané on the other hand wanted his weekly intake quadrupled.
Liverpool are right to be thinking carefully about whether to offer Salah a mega new deal.
If the 30-year-old isn’t willing to budge on his economic demands, Liverpool may have to consider selling him this summer.

Fowler 3/7/2022:
"Actually, I am delighted he is staying"
........
“But fair play to him. The bottom line is, he wanted to stay – ­probably to smash all my records! – and that tells me he wants to become a proper Liverpool legend.”

Does Robbie think that the Liverpool players he classifies as: 'humble yet top class players' like VVD (who comes across to me as the opposite of humble) will be happy on £200K a week, that Nunez who cost a fortune will be happy on £100K a week and that Diaz will be happy on even less...........
Discontent creeps in slowly and eventually manifests itself on the pitch.....heres hoping.

Like the rag's fans, the media are clinging to the hope of a rag's rise, coupled with a rise in their audiences and readership.
Consider how the dippers who had never won the Prem since its inception until a couple of years ago managed to hold on to their global fanbase.
The rags, dippers and Arse are media manufactured and that process is ongoing.

Added to that and on the back of it, our football institutions desperately want/need those three at the very top in order to maximise their already massive profits.
It ain't gonna go away any time soon.

Unfortunately the bankers, wankers, investors, sponsors and media moguls have a problem.....City keep winning the Prem and are on the cusp of overtaking the likes of Barca, Real, Bayern etc. And no matter what they do or have done City continue to rise and year on year seem to be an increasingly bigger problem for them.

Every pundit ruining Kalvin’s moment after signing for us. Murphy he’s a squad player Cascarino he is a good lad but will get 20 games. If he had joined the scum which as a Leeds lad was never ever going to happen, wow would have been the crap spouted. Welcome to Citty mate…..

He is going to play a lot more than these pundit idiots think.
Last season we over relyed on Rodri, mainly due to Ferns age. That's not the issue now and I expect KP to shoulder his fair load.

I thought once the contracts were signed and the sale closed, you couldn't ask for 20 million off as the buying club.... or ask for another million as the selling club?

And does this surprise you Hazy mate?
Can you name the last player we signed that the media didn't find some fault or other?

Makes it all the more amazing that we have won so much with such shit players, playing boring football.
Makes it all the funnier that the dippers with all the best players in the World keep coming 2nd playing the best football the World has ever seen

Can you imagine what we could win if we had some good players

It's also fantastic how Gabby suddenly became a world-beater.
Read a headline two days ago that: He is the new Henry for Arsenal.

Good luck with that. Can see it all going wrong before the break for the WC for the arse. If you're pinning your hopes on Gabby, I'd get the CV updated Arteta

Sky yesterday on the Jesus transfer asking if he will thrive away from City. As if we were holding him back!

And saying Chelsea will appreciate Sterling as he must be undervalued at City!!

Fair to say both will get more game time but are playing in worse teams , so swings and roundabouts. My guess is 15 goals each

Both will even out at their natural level.

For Gabby that is good not great. His playing level will vary between good and very good because his attitude and work ethic are so strong.

For Sterling it is wait and see. For two seasons now he has looked as if he wanted away and his performances reflected this. Will Chelsea revitalize him and he reverts to the Sterling of 3/4 years ago? What is certain is that Sterling will never ever be a clinical finisher. If Chelsea are relying on him to put away scarce chances in the big games, like us, they will be disappointed.
I am unsure what Sterling's true level is. Time will tell.

Two factors that mitigate against them. They will never play in a team that creates as many chances as we do, lots of them easy ones.
The Pep factor. He makes players better. Tuchel and Arteta are unlikely to bring either to a higher level.
