Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Oh I'm clearly not the one obsessed here
I was making what is a pretty obvious joke since CC clearly linked the wrong article but you keep doing you, bud.0 -

I'll never understand the buyout clause's, Liverpool apparently taking a player off Salzburg for 7 million (his buyout) we go for him and probably be told no or have to pay double
Well, yes, you don't understand then
If his buyout is 7m, then it doesn't matter if it's Pool or us. Once the buying club offer the 7m, it is then entirely up to the player which club he joins. The club can't say no, or pay double.
If there was no buyout, then chances are we'd be given higher prices, but of course we would; we have a track record of being desperate and willing to pay over the odds for players. It's hard to do when we actually are desperate, but until we take a harder stance, that will continue.
The reality is there are probably dozens of players round Europe with low release clauses (relatively) that would improve us, but by and large, the club rarely seems interested in strenghtening like that. The summer just gone shows it can be done (James continues to look like an absolute steal), but it would require a level of trust be put into the scouting team, and a willingness from the board to go for less flashy names who fit the systems better.
Pool have done stellar business over the last two years; Salah, Mane, Fabinho and Firminho all bought for round €40m, while we've been spending €50m on the likes of Fred. I like Maguire, but I've no doubt we could have gotten a player of a similar level for a decent chunk less if we'd gone looking in Germany. (I absolutely get the arguement they wanted a "PL Proven" player, mind).0 -

True, just feel like I see articles about is bidding a release clause but then nothing happens, could also be the media are full of ****( usually are)0 -

You're not wrong, there.
I think a lot of papers use our name to bring more eyes on stories. I think a lot of agents leak we're interested so as to get the price of their client out there too.
Ben Yeddar as an example. Linked to us over the summer, €40m buy out clause, and would have improved us. Never happened, went to Monacco instead
Maybe he just turned us down, mind, but he's an example of a player who'd have probably been getable if we tried. 0 -
