£30m for Willian was a bit too much to be fair. It's inflated valuations such like this which distorts the game and encourages elitism.

Are we winning? -
He sounds very frustrated. I found his comment that it's the owners money and they will have the final say telling. I hope the owners have learned from the mistake they made last summer. We have now sold Downing so they better get their fingers out and pull out the stops to back Rodgers financially.

When we were first linked with Willian I thought two things and expressed them here.
1. Who is he
2. 30m is way too much.
I'm still of the same opinion.Comment

Willian is not worth anywhere near £30m so im not bothered that we didn't go for him at that price. It better to be careful and sign players that are good value. I feel we still need a CB and an attacking mid but at the same time I don't want us to waste millions on a player out of panic just because our original targets turned us down for champions league teams.
I do feel we are very close to the top four even with the squad we already have and the lack of european football should push us further in the league.
A proper striker to replace Borini would be usedful tooComment

I'm with FSG on this. I find the sums bandied around for what by popular consensus is a slightly above average footballer, quite repugnant.Oh I don't know.Comment

That is where I have the problem. BR thinks the player would have been "perfect" for us in our quest for fourth - we should have gone the extra mile for him.

So you place more faith is in FSG's judgement than BR?Originally posted by dom9 View Post"Its not about the long ball or the short ball, its about the right ball." Bob PaisleyComment

Slightly above average ha! And its not a popular consensus either, Rodgers, Mourinho and Boas don't seem to agree that's for sure.Comment

I'm disappointed that Tee is disappointed that Rodgers is disappointed.
And that disappoints me.
And I'm also disappointed to have to make a point that if FSG are disappointed about Rodgers being disappointed then maybe they're starting to reach the point that there was no point in appointing him..
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

No, but BR does. And clearly it is important to him hence his comments today.Originally posted by dom9 View Post"Its not about the long ball or the short ball, its about the right ball." Bob PaisleyComment

Fine. So you rate him. I didn't see that in the thread to date tbh. I must have missed that. Perhaps I was blinded by the tips of your shiny white shinpads poking out the top of your red socks. That's a joke by the way.Originally posted by Chris View PostOh I don't know.Comment
