I really don't get why we price our players the way we do. What kind of arrogance makes us think we can sell players we haven't played all season at huge prices. Can see sakho spending another season on loan or in the reserves.

The same kind of arrogance that has led to bad blood between Liverpool and a few other clubs over tapping up I would imagine. The financial bubble football is in also means that clubs loose perspective on actual value of assets like players, summed up with balls out stupidity.

Spot on, HBR. We act as if we are as successful as both Real Madrid and Barcelona who tap up players like no tmrw and when push comes to shove, they just pay the money and move on. We also try to ask for crazy fees for players other clubs know were on the transfer list and are not good enough, as if these other clubs don't know that these players are of very little value to us. We can't do any that and the hubris by which we act in the TW is shocking and flat out nonsensical. I suppose we won't learn until we get a transfer ban (regarding tapping up) and maybe only then, will things change.
