Why once in a generation? And why was he sold

Once in a generation because someone with that amount of talent evert signing for Liverpool is a fluke of epic proportions. He was sold becausebhe couldn't wait to get out of the place.

Why did Man City get the Qataris and not Liverpool?

I don't get it either, they've pumped a lot of money into City and continue to do so allegedly through articifical commercial deals. It can't be far off 2 billion so far whilst they could have bought Liverpool and achieved the success they've had for a fraction of the cost.

City have a good support base but nothing like Liverpool and it's a real struggle for them to fill the stadium. They give away a lot of tickets for free that are not used and count them as tickets sold in terms of attendance figures.

Do you think when wealthy people buy big houses with Multiple bedrooms they are doing so because they plan on having a big family?

Less of the trick questions FTB.   You well know the only 'big house' 95% of Liverpool fans would be familiar with is the magistrate's court.

<ROFL> Hilarity ensues. The crime rate in Manchester is higher than in Liverpool.

[seafoid]

Main reason I think was that the infrastructure was there. Manchester City inherited the Etihad Stadium from the Commonwealth games. With a capacity of 55,097, the third-largest stadium in the Premier League.  A North Stand third tier has planning approval and work on it is expected to begin by 2017, increasing capacity to around 61,000. Anfield has a capacity of    44,742.

Also City probably was a bit cheaper?

Liverpool has a better back story and brand . It's strange

How long are we expecting Sturridge to be out after the England game? Back for August?

Gotze rumour seems to be gathering legs although it might just be that he is German.  In the houllier era we were linked with every French player on the market, under Rafa you just had to be Spanish to be signed and under Rodgers.....

Gotze would be a decent signing but quite similar to couthinho and firminio? I would be happier with a big name centre back.

Well Matip has already signed and there is rumour of another German defender whose name escapes me at the moment.
If the Gotze rumour is true and he does sign then its a positive sign for the future. In The Brodge era we went for Alexis Sanchez and ended up with Ricky Lambert.

Wasn't it Super Mario???!!!

[TabClear]

Cologne left back hector had been linked so that might be who your thinking off LL.  Don't know much about him to be honest. Hopefully Matip will give us a physical presence in the air that had been missing since Sami retired. However I would like a ball playing centre half, a fit version of Agger!

So this illicit chanting that UEFA are charging Liverpool was actually them singing 'Manchester is full of shite' and not what StGalls and Maroon Manc would have you believe.

[AZOffaly]

Yeah, but the United fans weren't charged with Hillsborough chants either, so who knows what these UEFA dickheads heard..
