Lets address the issues where you’ve basically claimed I’m personally insulting you.
I haven’t insulted you at all. I’ve called you out on claiming to have a photographic memory. Semi or otherwise I don’t think you have, it’s my opinion that you’ve made that up to attempt to bolster a point that you eventually lost anyway.
Even someone with a rather dodgy memory would remember that Van Gaal won the FA Cup, it was such terrible directorship from our board, he walked out of Wembley stadium with the FA Cup and his P45. Someone so embarrassingly embittered should remember these horrific facts.
Secondly (on the same memory loss point) you forgot that Mourinho won the Europa league with United. Why I find it unbelievable that you’ve missed it, is due to the circumstances, we were absolutely shite in the league, so bad that we missed out on the top four with about 5 games to play. Our only chance was to win the EL and give us automatic qualification to the CL, which we duly did.
I’ve a mate like you, he starts arguments all the time, soon as it’s getting away from him, he starts crying about being bullied and picked on, being insulted. He’s alright to be honest, just a bit of a girl.
Back to the debate.
Liverpool’s transfer policy hasn’t changed in decades, it’s always been the same. Sign a pool of prospects, pray one or two make it, if they do then it’s 2-3 seasons and sell it in for maximum profit. Torres,Sterling, Suarez, Coutinho.
They then sell the rest of the trash on, creating this fictional net spend malarkey that they peddle to their supporters every year. They all for it despite it being a totally obvious profit based transfer policy.
Liverpool have made more money through players sales than any other club since 2010.
It’s a workable model but not without failure. Benteke, Andy Carrol, Mario Balotelli some of its greatest jokes.
What happened to Danny Ings? Has he dissolved.
The net spend argument is totally flawed as you can see from the above.
Total outlay ignores a clubs attempts at making a few quid and shows what they are really doing with their squad.
Liverpool recouping more money than anyone else in Europe makes for good figures but also outlines the poor choices.
Ps, we’re shit.
Mourinho picked a team yesterday that was aimed at point scoring off the board. He’s totally abandoned any hopes of keeping his job, he’s trying to get sacked.
Matic-Fellaini-
Lukaku as the spine of a team is an absolute car crash. We played a mixture of Matic/McTominay at CB when we had Rojo on the bench. It was nothing more than a **** you to the board at the expense of results and performance. He’s acting like a complete twat.
For an eidetic memory to work, then you would have to be aware of things, or have read them. If i've never read them, then how would I remember them? It's a simple thing really. I can remember stuff that I read, or see. I honestly dont pay attention to Man Utd, as I have no interest in them, therefore I dont know lots about them. The points I have made have been through simple research on google.
My point is still valid, that you'd only won 1 trophy within 2 years. 16/17 17/18 season being those 2 seasons. Van gaal won the FA Cup in 15/16 I believe. So whilst a technicality, my point was still valid none the less.
You've resorted to insults throughout the thread, it seems to be your MO. But it's the internet, and easy to hide behind a keyboard, or is that under a bridge, I often forget.
You've suggested that i'm a massive football fan without actually asking. ABU or WUM and now a Liverpool fan, all incorrect. Also i've not started any arguments, i've merely pointed out the holes in your statements. If that makes it an argument then so be it, and if that makes me a girl even better. Im not Janet to us for nothing
Your point of Liverpool matching Utd's spending season on season is wrong. However you wish to dress it up, that point is incorrect. Whether their policy has stayed the same or not, the point was incorrect, as I have shown with the links posted.
You seem to think that Utd haven't made some poor signings. Mourinho for instance has spent how much on defenders, then criticised them. I hear now that he's bidding 91m for the Napoli defender. I also see he criticised Pogba openly, again I refer to my earlier points of, it has to be either Mourinho or Pogba that leaves, you cannot have them both at the club at present.
Should we list the signings Utd have made that have failed? Couple of keepers come to mind...
Ings is at Southampton, and he was a free transfer to Liverpool I believe, so they hardly lost out there, I think Southampton paid something like 10m for him. Not a bad return on a free transfer. You also seem to forget that this is a business, and why Arsenal kept Wenger on for so long. That guy was making a profit every year! 4th was good enough as long as the millions kept rolling in. Seems the glaziers are following suit. Wonder how much the debt is these days?
I see your opinion of Mourinho has changed in recent weeks, you were an avid supporter of his in earlier posts. He seems to criticise everyone bar himself, and yes what a record, but there is only so long before you have to accept perhaps you're the problem. And perhaps Mourinho is the problem, or perhaps Utd's dominance is over. Perhaps even both...
Lukaku imo is massively over rated. He can score against the lesser teams pretty well, but he's a no show in the big games. He did extremely well at Everton, but he was a big fish in a little pond. Now he's a big fish in a big pond, and it's just not coming off for him. Im sure he will continue to make a very decent living from it though.
You don't know who I support, even though you claim I do. You've not even been close so far, which is the funniest thing. Also depends what you class as success. If you're talking League titles, then yes Utd win that one, if you're talking European titles then Liverpool win. Overall trophies im not sure. Remember gasman, opinions are like assholes.
