Virgil Van Dijk signs for Liverpool

Disagree with Liverpool not being a fake club as apart from those who are from Liverpool or around that area the rest of the people I know or have met who support Liverpool have never even been to Anfield or know anything of their history and complain after they have lost one game so most of them are glory supporters.

Rising transfer fees and players wages and ticket prices are sickening especially in this economy when people don't have huge amount of income.

The divide in football between the Premier League and top clubs in the Championship and league one and two is only going to get worse.

Won't be long until they start playing games in China and expecting fans to pay thousands of pounds to attend.

I guess the only thing is that Messi is 30 (turns 31 by the end of the season)?

Messi 4 or 5 years ago would've been worth £300mil+ surely?

Otherwise I guess he's worth his release clause since no way Barcelona will let him go otherwise.

75 mil That's a lot!
Thought City might swoop in but I guess now they can focus on nabbing Jonny Evans. I don't think he'll stay at West Brom.
75 million though omg

So essentially almost every professional football club is ‘fake’ according to your nonsense bore off with your ‘real fans’ ********.

The money in the game is justified in the sense that people want entertainment and are entertained by football. They spend their money on that which entertains them.

There is more money and disgusting practices in many other entertainment industries, so go and bore some people about them instead.

2 ways of seeing this

1) LFC have signed an excellent CB who will improve them
2) 75m is too much, even in this market. Seems like quite a lazy transfer in that respect.

With Keita coming in you'd probably say LFC are only a GK and maybe another CB away from a title challenge so fair play.

Wow. It’s Zurich himself.

Yeah and I agree with you. Nothing else to say. Only thing is that they’re probably losing Coutinho and Can.

Both replaceable and nothing special.

They have really just needed a spine for years, much like us. Except they're putting serious money into addressing it unlike us.

Of course replaceable. My point was simply that they need to replace them.

Arsenal are doomed. It’s gotten so bad there you shouldn’t even be loading your last save, just restart career mode.

We need Jesus.

Na mate. You need someone who’ll be there the whole season.

Jesus is another Fàbregas - goes missing after Christmas, which is when you collapse, and doesn’t show up again until March/April by which point you’re desperately trying to get 4th.

Unbelievable just 10 years ago you should’ve won 2007-08 PL. Good team that.

Dead fam.

It’s been officially confirmed. £75 million is the transfer fee.

Jurgen Klopp a few months ago:

“Other clubs can go out and spend money, and collect top players. I want to do it differently, I would even do it differently if I could spend that money”

Thoughts?

Tbh I just realised it doesn’t make any sense. Jesus came around on Christmas Day, not disappeared.

But then you didn’t realise either.

Strong biblical knowledge.

2017 Jesus:

The next time Liverpool fans mock Man United over how much they paid for Pogba.....
