FWIW - I do think the club are allowing players to soak up their contract as opposed to spending silly money on renewals - I think we are seeing that now. I do think Eddy/Hughes are being pragmatic on this - Its worked previously, who knows now. i think you trust the process that has served them. I think the issue is if Slot trusts the process and given he only got one in the 2024 summer suggests he does !

Does he deserve a pay raise? There was lots floating around about him 'only' being on £55k or £70k a week. If that were the case you would say he was underpaid,but there was someone saying that was BS, and he was on £140-150k which seems fair.

Well I assumed the former but would agree with the latter.

I think the new old team are trustworthy in the sense that - being an old fecker - I realise that the success of a club does really come down to money management over a period of time - so I trust them; but I imagine many fans thinking he should just be given a pay rise. If he was on <£100k I would agree, but if it's closer to £200k, then no. Sell him when the oppo arises if he wants more.

Edwards was proven right with some of the past decisions on contracts.

Gini wasn’t offered a new one and never looked any good after he left. He was against Henderson getting one and that would have been the right decision.

Sorry - Not aimed at anyone here - I don't give a flying **** about what these guys earn, they are rich beyond my dreams - I trust the club to keep us viable to a certain extent

£15m for kicking a ball - Come on - Its funking obscene + the rest

Defo - This - Part of the reason he left - Klopp left the collective - FSG have now come full circle

And I would believe the feeling is mutual with Diaz and other players. They wouldn't give a flying feck what you, or I, think.

THis makes sense. Same as Konate. The value of letting him run down his contract and leaving on a free may be more than selling early and having to replace him at a higher cost, especially if they assume that the player will work harder to get a new contract and/or given its a world cup year get into the national team.
As many have said I trust the backroom team to get the most out of the resources we have (as horrible as that sounds)

[Tatterdemalion]

Well, I'm good either way so long as it works for us and it's part of some plan.
I'm not good with random **** at that level.

Yeah, I think Edwards and his team have a lot of credit in the bank. Diaz and Konate are good but replacable. If they see a better option, then Im on board. The finances feed into that.

Fsg have rarely ****ed up. Injuries aside, almost every player they have recommened and signed has paid off.

Im willing to give them some space to work their magic. The biggest criticism is not signiing players in positions that we needed, but circumstances may have played a card on occasion that we couldnt account for. No other tesm in the wotld have managed so many good decisions imho. They are due a ****up or two and are still streets ahead of the rest.

Yeah we have had a very good hit rate with transfers, especially the 30m and above ones, since they came in.

I suppose the main ones that didn’t work were Naby Keita and Lazar Markovic. Those are more than offset by the ones that worked. The profit on Coutinho funded signings that brought success which pays for signings we are still making.

Totally forgot about him. Seems his best season was for Belgrade, when no-one was watching

He had an odd dribbling style where the ball would be further out in front of him and he’d stick his leg out and kind of toe-poke it in the direction he wanted it to go.

You can probably add Carroll and Benteke to that list.
