People in Andy Carroll houses shouldn't throw stones

definitely one of the worst but at least around half 17m was recouped.

Don't think anyone is paying 30m for Fred.

No but Carroll cost nearly half of Fred.

Liverpool were terrible for quite a few years. They they spend 60m on anyone no.

Also is was first brought up about Keita being a poor signing & inflating his transfer fee. He has been very good in the last few months.

Fck me lads.

Carroll was back in 2011 back when 35Million(Or whatever it was) was huge money.

Either way nobody gives a flying fck who pissed more money away it's not out of your pocket.

Because "some reports use euros and the others say sterling.Maybe you could take up issue with the various sources. Nothing can be certified as concrete evidence. The tabloids probably adding some sensationalism to them or maybe putting add-ons into the price"

Isn't that how it works? Pick and choose the highest possible valuation you have read in any report in any currency and whichever number is highest, that's what you go with.

amd FWIW, I've always thought Fred cost £52m.

Just some people refuse to look at the actual costs reported by the clubs and instead just want to see the highest possible number. Roma released a statement that Allison would cost Liverpool £56m and then a further £11m based on sporting achievements that may or may not be met.. But rival fans keep saying he cost £70m because it is a higher number and gets a better reaction with likes. https://www.asroma.com/en/news/2018/7/transfer-agreed-for-alisson-to-join-liverpool

Someone brought up the worst transfer in Premier League history, although TBF the discussion probably needs its own thread.

United are currently a shambles likely to finish 6th even though they had a 2 months period of league winning form ,While Liverpool have amassed more points than United ever have in the premier league, but but but but you signed Andy Carroll 8 years ago eh ok ,

Jesus Christ on a bike United fans still going on about Andy Carroll but its Liverpool fans live in the past,

£52.75 million total (£48m + £4.75m premium for securing him a year ahead of his move). That's quoted by BBC, SKY, Liverpool Echo

You would have some post from January as the first post though, reddit is not great for discussion. I have been using it for years but have only a handful of posts on there.

Agreed. This thread is regularly hijacked/derailed by fans of those clubs, out to score points off one another. It's a pity, but there you go.

Not to mention the fact the chief protagonist today is the same poster who trolls and goads Liverpool fans constantly and then goes crying to the mods if someone hurts his feelings. I think we all know who this nameless "victim' is. He is in flying form today by the looks of it.
And I amn't even a Liverpool fan, this particular poster seems to derail these threads all the time.

Right now it's just ye doing it. Ignore and keep talking PL I reckon.

I’d imagine you were saying the same about Rodgers when he was sacked 5 months after signing a 4 year contract.

Tripe, of course, no trophies in 4 years, good chance Klopp won’t be at Liverpool next summer for me. We'll see how it goes.

Yes but don't worry it's very very unlikely. Yesterday I didn't think we had a realistic chance against Barcelone but still thought it was more likely than winning the Premier league. Nothing has changed.
Except of course we beat Barcelona.

It did help them they had 85 mins to get an away goal with a full team, they could have to play 85 mins with 10 men other wise

Kidding yourselves, these days Baros would likely be flagged for the high leg.

It wasn't a goal and Liverpool progressed.Gudjohnsen should have scored in the end but it set the scene for Instanbul.

May bank holiday weekend (EFL Play-off Finals) is the 25th, which means the FA Cup Final is on 18th May. I seem to remember the Premier league has said it will finish a week before the FA Cup final so not to clash which means the Premier League this season will finish on the 12th May

This thread (again)

Maybe next season, we can have a Premier League thread for non United and 'pool fans? Maybe even one for for people who don't support a PL club. I'm sure there's a few of us here.

In.

The ref is on record saying he would have sent Cech off and awarded Liverpool a pen if he did not award a goal

By David Barnes

THE REFEREE in charge of the controversial Champions League semi-final between Liverpool and Chelsea sensationally broke his silence last night.

Slovakian Lobos Michel, in an exclusive SP interview, reckons Chelsea were LUCKY to concede the winning goal to Luis Garcia at Anfield on Tuesday night.

He explained: "I believe Chelsea would have preferred the goal to count rather than face a penalty with just ten men for the rest of the game.

"If my assistant referee had not signalled a goal, I would have given a penalty and sent off goalkeeper Petr Cech."

Michel who runs a company flogging car tyres in Bratislava, added: "Jose Mourinho shook my hand after the game and did not complain about the goal. I appreciated his gesture.

"I was quite ready to explain everything, but no-one asked me about the situation. I always answer polite questions.

The crescendo of noise from the Anfield crowd cut communications between Michel and Roman Slysco, the linesman who gave the goal. Michel added: "Roman beeped me to signal the foul by Cech, but I didn't know that till later.

"It was the noise from the crowd that stopped me hearing it. I have refereed at places like Barcelona, Ibrox, Manchester United and Arsenal. But I've never in my life been involved in such an atmosphere. It was incredible.

"I did not need the signal from Roman, though. I had already seen the foul and played advantage. There was no doubt in Roman's mind about the goal and he was in the best position to see.

"I chose him to be part of our team and I trust him. He is a heart surgeon and mistaken decisions are not allowed in his job.

"There was not even need to confer. He signalled the goal and sprinted back to the half-way line.

"I have seen the goal scores of times since on TV and have no reason to change my mind. But it would still be fine by me if they brought in technology to decide these things for the World Cup, European Championship and Champions League."

And Michel would be happy if UEFA select him to take charge of future European ties involving English clubs.

He said: "What I like about England is the players are very fair. They don't like to dive, they don't feign injury. Just one yellow card in a match of such intensity shows that.

"Some people were surprised I played six minutes more at the end. I have never given so many before.

"But apart from the subs, I had to take time off for the two people running on the field and the time-wasting by fans keeping the ball."
