I assume a few on here follow lfc transfer twitter rumours? Latest BS I read last night. "Klopp has asked FSG can they get him Declan Rice" 😂.

I don't think we can even afford Uncle Bens Rice.

Probably a translation mix up. Klopp asked FSG if they could get him an extra large rice for the takeaway.

Sadly the extra large rice went outside of the FSG financial model.

Lmao at uncle bens rice!

Uncle bens rice and a packet of walkers crisps. Granted, not a great combo, but beggars can't be choosers.

Lads I think you will find that it's not called uncle Ben's rice anymore, it's just Ben's rice. Stop being obsessed with our finance's and enjoy this great team, we are fighting on four fronts with some great players to come back, just enjoy.

{Ed0666's Note - that’s easier said than done mate. You can’t stop fans wanting to sign players

I honestly thought "Ben's Rice" was just the Aldi rip off version 😂.

I think if you actually read about the history of the naming of Uncle Bens rice then you would agree with the name change.

Unless you are a typical football fan from england who thinks they are superior to everyone because they were born in a particular country.

I agree with Mighty reds, stop fussing about money and stop filling the feed full of negative stuff. We don’t need to sign anyone at the moment and what is the point in going out and buying someone that won’t get on and will inevitably get the club into debt. That’s how United do things, not us. I like our transfer model. And this is arguably our most successful team since the 80’s. So wise up And come and support the team.

Colin et al, I didn't know about the name change or about the historical context of the same, so apologies.

Although, I am fan from England but not sure if im typical or what that even constitutes considering the sheer number of fans the sport has. However, if the name was based around the subjugation, exploitation, manipulation or the like of peoples then im all for the change!

Im not obsessed with the financial side either. I actually love the fact that klopp is working magic with what he has, it makes it all that much sweeter and elevates his standing even more!

I don't comment much, but been reading for many many years. I just thought the witty remark about not being able to afford Bens rice, let alone declan rice was pretty funny! I don't think it was meant anything more than that. Gave me a laugh in what is very testing times.

Haha, no worries man. Only winding you up anyway. I’m Irish myself, and lived in England for many years in the midlands, so I’m used to being spoken down to and disregarded. I have Indian friends who were also treated exactly the same. It’s no big deal, it’s just the way it is in parts of England. That’s why I love Liverpool. It’s a great city with great people, and none of this superiority elitist crap exists. Just good people, and pretty similar to me 😀.

I usually laugh at some of the ultra PC stuff cos it is just ridiculous but I suppose you have to see if from everyone’s point of view and whilst it might not be offenisve to us, it could be offensive to someone else. That’s all I was getting at really.

{Ed0666's Note - great post Monty totally agree with your thoughts.

Anyway, all this chat about Rice has made me a bit peckish. Away to get my dinner.

Now on with catching those mancs!

Thanks for the heads up Colin. As Jaws said, it was just light hearted banter. I never watch news, read papers etc. so I completely miss a lot of things going on around the world. In fact the only media I read remotely regularly is BBC Sport and what's posted on this site!

Best way to be. The news is pretty rubbishty these days. A lot of fear and anger out there and there really is no need.

With regards to transfers, it really is exciting when a new player comes in, but I really think our club is in a good position or “moment” as Jurgen would say. We could certainly add one or two to boost the squad, but there is no crisis and no need to worry or fear about the future. I accept we won’t win the league this season, but like we didn’t win it for 30 years but we still have some great memories and better memories from a pretty disappointing era, than spurs or city or any of these big spenders have had. So whilst Sky Sports and the media make this into some sort of Netflix special and feed us whatever narrative suits their motives, I am quite content to just trust Klopp and the Club to do the right thing. I think we are the best we have been since I start supporting the club, and getting a fancy person in with a nice Spanish sounding name might be good for Sky and newspapers etc, but is it really what the club need? I’d rather they developed some of these academy players we have.
