So, GT and Robbing have both now set about making unprovoked, off topic comments about me.

But that is my fault.

You can't make this stuff up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yep. You're in the clear Winston, you always are.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Every time you say this and every time I remind you that I've openly admitted that sometimes I am in the wrong.

It doesn't fit with your narrative of course, which is why you keep peddling the myth.

Fact is, yet again you've joined the article and just come straight at me with off topic comments. I never do that to you.

It's always you who instigates these exchanges.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yep. You do tell me you admit that you're wrong, never giving examples of course but you tell me that you're in the wrong. It's fine Winston, like I said, just keep to the topic and it'll be fine.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I've told you that because it's the truth.

Unlike you, who never stops and says 'yes, it is me who has caused this exchange and I'll stop doing it so that threads don't get derailed'.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok Winston.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It's not okay, unless you actually stop doing it.

He was probably more gentle with her than Chapman was

She's in a right mess now. Ended up in a wheel chair I think.

No, you took exception to the use of 'record fee' and were being facetious when you talked about how you could apply that to any niche category.

The 'record fee' part is semantics and unimportant.

The point was always that Klopp implied he wouldn't spend big sums on individual players and then changed his mind.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I didn't say anything on Klopp. My comment was to point out we hadn't changed our approach. As I said above and as is shown in my comments. If you want to discuss Klopp's comments, that's a separate discussion.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

You were mocking the discussion about record fees and I was saying that is entirely about the Klopp comments.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I was showing that we didnt pay world record fees. Which we didn't.

Robb fvck this cvnt off. All he ever does is talk about what other people have said or written. 90% of the time is not actually about football and it's boring.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

You really need to grow up, Robbing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Please just walk away dude - is this argument even fun for you?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Walk away from what?

I'm discussing Liverpool's spending and both GT and Robbing have hijacked it with personal comments.

Sorry it's ruining the article but they're the cause, not me. I am trying to stay on the subject i.e. football.

If I'm interpreting what he said incorrectly, why did he say this:

"It’s only an opinion in that moment. Did I change my opinion? Yes. That’s true. It’s better to change an opinion than to never have one."

Perhaps you're the one misinterpreting what he said.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Name the player Klopp spent £100m on?

Name a team we’ve outspent?

Name the collection of top players Klopp has hoovered up from Europe’s top teams?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

No one said he spent £100m.

No one said he outspent a team.

No one said he hoovered up top players.

I said he implied that he wouldn't spend big money on top players i.e. individuals and he changed his mind.

Clearly he agrees with that interpretation.

It is laughable that you want to argue this when Klopp himself admitted it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So if he hasn’t done any of the above, spent
£100m on a player etc, where has he contradicted himself?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

How many times do you need this explained?

He implied that he wouldn't spend big money on individuals. He then did just that.

Then, when asked, he admitted that he had changed his opinion on the subject.

Let me know which part you don't understand.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Define "big" money. If I define big money as over £100 million then he hasn't ever spent big money on a player.

Well it's subjective.

But Klopp said he changed his opinion, so clearly the money he spent on Allisson and VVD would be regarded as big money to him.

It’s you coming up with the term ‘big money’ to add ambiguity to Klopp’s quote. He was quite specific about £100m for one player.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

No he wasn't, actually - you're twisting his words.

He said this:

""If you bring one player in for £100m and he gets injured, then it all goes through the chimney," he said."

He was clearly just plucking a figure out of the air.

Later, he said this:

"Other clubs can go out and spend more money and collect top players. I want to do it differently. I would even do it differently if I could spend that money."

Fair point about 'big money' and I'll stop saying that.

But clearly he has gone out and bought 'top players' in a policy that goes against the principle he's talking about in his quote.

If he hadn't have acknowledged it himself then you may have a case, but seeing as he has done so, why are you trying to argue that he meant something else?
