The only way we'd sell Coutinho would be if we sign Keita AND we get a world record bid AND Coutinho asks to leave.

Wasn't this the case with Suarez too.

If Barca want him they will get him, we all know that.

pretty much similar to your boys all wanting out too ...if 'Dire ' goes, who next domino effect from a show of lack of ambition maybe?

If Dier want's to go then fair enough, he can go, nobody is bigger than the club

Lack of ambition? Have you seen our training ground? Did you miss our new 61000 seater Stadium? Ambition, you say?

I have seen what you pay in wages, all great having a sparkly stadium and ground but if you stick to 100k a week , your boys will be off
A sparkly training ground and stadium does not look after a players family

[HRL]

Yep, I'd struggle to support my family on £400K a month.

I see that bd manager has said that he's comfortable with how things are and he'd rather develop and promote the youth than just run out and buy someone.

Clearly doesn't know what he's talking about.

You are right of course, but even so we will still finish above Liverpool....again.

Don't look after our players fk me , I guess we don't have to pay ridiculous wages to get players to come to a run down area to live & work, which must help.

They are all free to go if they wish.

It is just the once you have finished above is in the last 7 seasons isn't it ? you must be well overpaying.

Given RT's summary of Liverpool's summer and how screwed we are, you guys are going to be relegated twice this season since you haven't signed anyone new (Salah equivalent) and you sold a defender. Actually update that prediction, you'll be relegated 3 times this season.

Our base salaries may not be superstellar but I bet the Performance related bonuses are a touch above, gives financial security to the club if we don't get CL, gives incentive to the players to ensure we do; it's a fine line when we've got 5 years of stadium payments to make but we seem to be navigating it pretty well thus far.

reminder of form over the last 12 seasons.

season	P	W	D	L	GF	GA	PT	POS	FAC	LC	EUROPE	STG	TOP SCORER	GS

2016–17	38	26	8	4	86	26	86	2nd	SF	R4	Champions League	GS	Harry Kane	35

A few things are clear when you look at the stats in detail:-
When we targeted the minor cup, league form and therefore revenue suffered
Jol was a fk load better than Ramos (I'd still love to know why he got the boot)
Lasagne gate and the Chelsea CL win, merely dented our forward progress
The difference under Poch is evident, we were close but that cohesive vision of top to bottom strategy between club and manager just never fit until he arrived
Kane is a fking legend in the making

Mr Pochettino has publicly stated that he has immense faith in the youth footballers at the club & he has good enough squad to compete again & i for one trust him without question. If it's good enough for him it's good enough for me.

He's a proper football manager managing a proper football club.

You'd like to believe that. Fact of the matter is that we live within our means and in 12 months our means will be far larger.

I'm joking, RT seems to think having so far signed one (likely) decent signing means we are doomed this season. Using that logic you guys will be even more doomed I imagine.

I'm still not a fan of Vorm so I'd look at a back up keeper.
