The Navy shorts were only for this game because of Fener's white shorts. Yeah the purple kit is our 3rd one. Not sure why they didn't wear that today.



Yeah, just still didn't look right :lol:

You don't recall why the navy is on the sleeve by any chance (apart from that old joke about the netherlands flag for RVP)?


I don't think it was for any particular reason :lol: so people came up with their own.


Yeah, the only thing I can find is Walcott saying he thought it made the kit feel more British :lol:

Fuck me if we got Benzema all the pain of this transfer window would be worth it.


If we got Benzema and Di Maria + a CB and a GK it would make the pain of the last few years worth it imo.

It's quite simple really. Bale to Madrid= No room for Di Maria with Jese,Isco,Ronaldo and ofcourse Bale.
Wenger said absolutely no chance for Suarez the day we're reportedly in for Benzema, so Suarez is off to Real.


But this implies that we're logical with transfers.

If only this was FM

Isco isn't competition for a wide spot, neither is Jese I don't think.

Essentially it's Ronaldo, Bale and Di Maria fighting for 2 spots. Definitely room for him.

Jese is more of a second striker and only 20. More likely that he'll be loaned out before they even consider selling Di Maria.

Isco is definitely there to play in the middle.

And Suarez to Real meaning Benzema is going to Arsenal is just ridiculous.

Us not signing him doesn't change the fact that your best player wanted to join us, instead of staying at Liverpool. Us being jews doesn't change that fact.

No name dropping on the forums thanks.

"How little you wanted to spend", you say that as if the transfer window is shut, and that you know 100% that we're not going to spend any money.
I consider the fact that we made 2 bids, the fact the player wanted to join us as fair evidence to say we had a genuine attempt at signing him, and we made one. Liverpool got greedy (they had to cant blame them), but it could potentially cost them in the long run.

I'm sensing a correlation here when you wouldn't meet the asking price of Higuain, Suarez and Gustavo and that's just for the players we're aware of.

Not being willing to meet the asking price does indeed directly effect your chances of signing a player ;)

So Liverpool have never negotiated a fee? Right then. Hows Willian/Alderweid/Papadopolous/Eriksen/Costa/Sakho going?

All clubs have interest in many players, doesn't mean they're going to go for them. It's either going to be funny watching spuds/Liverpool fans eat their words by deadline day, or funny to watch Arsenal fans organise a suicide pact if we spend nothing.

They'll get there eventually. Then take a few attempts to get past a good player's wage demands.

Poteitially gazumped by spurs/never bid/waiting on news/never bid/signed new contract at Atleti/never bid

Let's look at who Liverpool HAVE signed:
Mignolet, Alberto, Aspas, Toure, Cissokho.

And the players Arsenal have signed:
Sanogo, ...

...

Mignolet > Szczesny.
You'd jump at the chance to have Cissokho or Aspas as well.

Significant part, yes, but only Toure and Mignolet are starting XI. Plus, you just about had Papadopoulos until he didn't pass a medical, so Toure could have been a squad player too, which I'm sure was the intention initially.
