Funny, nobody seemed to mind us spending 50m euros on Roberto Firmino a few years back, but will kick up a fuss over us spending that on *insert rumoured transfer target here*.

probably because we did not spend 50 million euros on him, it was around 33-35 million euros.

If memory serves correctly, Ed002 had mentioned that after adding bonuses and agent fees, the Firmino transfer had cost in the high 40 Millions. Maybe 48-49 Million. I could be wrong.

Every body did moan. Including th3 eds. I mean there was uproar for months rhat "yet again liverpool have overspent on an average player" and 5hat was only 35 mil. The same last year for mane 36 mil.

Whats happened that you all think 50 mil on an average player is acceptable.

1. SusanBoyle your numbers are wrong I'm afraid. With add ons it was close to 50m euros

2. SuperMane, are you really saying Firmino is average? I despair! He's a top top player.

Puzzled I think he is saying everyone was saying that at the time and in truth a lot were.

you partly right that we may have to get use to spending vast sums on top targets, but for every Bale there is a mahrez who i think cost less than a million or even half that

Not saying i know what his attitude is like but he is a huge talent and cost peanuts. although quite expensive ones.
