Someone mentioned that Gerrard and Coutinho share the same agent.  Any Ideas which other players are signed up as it may be a clue to where we (Gerrard) has influence and potential future signings.
If that is our recruitment strategy, what the f**k does Lange actually do?!
You know how we're buying Coutinho for like €20m rather than the €40m we'd previously said we'd pay Barcelona for him?  And how even €40m seemed ludicrously cheap in January?  That type of thing, I imagine.

Have to say, that degree of market savvy and exploiting Barcelona's financial situation (they want to book the money in this year's accounts, apparently) is impressive.

I'd also like to see us move some players on for actual money, too. Remember that decade plus of never really selling players, just watching them run down their contracts and never using them?

I thought €40m was a bargain but haggling them down to €20m and querying the payment structure is just taking the p!ss. Who's negotiating the deal for Barcelona, Neville Chamberlain?

That negative view of NC is very unfair.

If Leeds drop, I think he'll go all out for Kalvin Phillips. Can't say I've been that impressed with him this season tbh, but who knows what he could do under Gerrard's stewardship?

After literally YEARS of failing to sort it, Defensive midfielder has to be the club's #1 priority this summer. Forget everything else until that position is filled (maybe with an understudy too!).

I saw somewhere he had a 25m release clause if Leeds go down - I’m sure we wouldn’t be his only suitors though.
