As someone rightly pointed out this window is not easy and players are only able to move if A they want to B a club is interested and C if the contract suits the player and the fee or no fee suits the club

It’s not as simple as thanks mate good luck off you go if it was there would be free agents everywhere clubs don’t want to part with players by just paying up their contracts for fucks sake

People also forget our promotion/relegation could mean some
Players are on inflated contracts and would have to take wage cuts to move would you? I f*cking wouldn’t when I can sit on the bench twiddling my thumbs for 10k more than playing regularly somewhere in the lower leagues

Get a grip of reality please

And the person who said tan is just recouping his money find me a set of club accounts where he has taken a penny of his investment back please????

As I said before relegation costs money and a lot of it parachute payments barley break the camels back hence why most clubs have to cut cloth not splash out


SPOT ON :thumbup:

also for all the doubters, how do you not know Harris may have been in for 6 or 7 players and they've all said no same as he may have told some at the club that they don't figure in his plans and their agents reply is " TOUGH " !!

As for Mr Tan throwing more money at it with the deadwood we already have ? I wouldn't ! Let's face it guys it's going to be tough until we clear some out and I don't mean whatever you do with players you don't want on your X boxes :roll:

Personally, no I wouldn’t. He’s obviously a prospect but couldn’t get a start in Liverpool’s reserve team against Everton.
He may do well with Swansea but I wouldn’t want him on loan.

I suspect he’ll be on the bench against us.

The January transfer window is well known for clubs moving out their "surplus to requirements" players. Probably find the posters who complain about us taking our time to bring in players are the same ones who complain when we bring in players who subsequently turn out to be absolute garbage. As plenty of us have said before, it's not like popping down your local Asda and buying a loaf of bread.

he might turn out to be a superstar.... there again he might turn out to be Yan Dhanda another ex Liverpool academy player there who struggles to get in their team...or even a journeyman with 400 championship apps like our own Lee Peltier who spent 11 years at Liverpool...
