I don’t think it’s a bad idea as long as we invest in all our targets like Defense, DM, attacking midfield and RB if AMN is also sold.
Laca is a good player but it isn’t catastrophic to let him go to reduce wages and let Martinelli and Nketiah to develop in the side anyone thinks otherwise.
Lacazette transfer listed??

Laca shouldnt be sold. But if we sell him we need a replacement for him and wouldnt it be much more expensive?

Yeah, Liverpool prime example. Selling Suarez and Coutinho and buying Alisson and VvD. Robbed Peter to pay Paul, and look at them now. Total failure.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
First off Klopp didn't HAVE to sell Coutinho to finance VVD. VVD is just the player he spent the bumper payday on. He sold Coutinho because Coutinho is was great in attack not so great at handling the high defensive work rate, Klopp way of playing.
That aside, your examples of Liverpool's transfer deals are:
The sale of Coutinho. A player our owner would never have coughed up for in the first place. Aka a player we could never own in the first place, to sell, for 100M
And
Suarez. The brilliant striker, we desperately needed but missed out on because the owner took the P's and only made the cheapest possible offer of £40,000,001.
You still seem to be missing the point entirely here. It's the willingness of Liverpool's owners to just cough up the transfer fee at the beginning. That is responsible for them making nearly 200 million off 2 players alone. Our owner will not do that. Which is why we never have any high value players to sell. Which is why we've been in this perpetual squad cycle, for the last ten years. Whilst all the other top teams who will pay just pay that fee, all got stronger.

I’m not against the transfer but It’s the rumoured sum which annoys me. £30M is not a lot.

Chelsea, Pool, Utd, City, Spurs would all get 40 mil minimum for him.

Coutinho cost £8.5m, Suarez £22m.
We signed Xhaka and Mustafi for £35m each.
Liverpool did the very thing you are very much against, buying cheap players rather than the top, most expensive players. Coutinho was an Inter flop, and Suarez was a madman playing in a lesser league with a ban for biting someone.
SO WHAT THE FACK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOU CLUELESS LOONY???

Fack me, you are as thick as they come. The owner did not make a bid, and the reason our negotiators made the bid was because Suarez had a clause at that value which Liverpool did not respect.

I'm thick? You're the one not seeming to notice that the familiar theme here is refusal to pay the highest transfer fee. So yet again we come back to why has an entire team of people for 10 years. Never once coughed up the prime fee for the prime player? If it's not because they are being told they can't have the money to do so.
What is it that makes you think all these people who made a living at this. All keep buying to fail if they're free to by to succeed. 10 years of everyone getting it wrong is just not realistic. But one man just saying no to the money, well that is.

When Ozil was signed he was one of the most expensive players ever. Mustafi and Xhaka were in the top 20 when signed.
Pepe is 17th.
You are talking shiiiite.
Why is 10 years of getting it wrong not realistic when there has been a massive overhaul. If they were getting it right then why the overhaul?
It cannot be said the current people are getting it wrong because they are still repairing from the previous era.

You are arguing Liverpool bought the big money players while Arsenal went cheap. Countinho or Ozil, who cost £34m more??
Do you think Kroenke came to England and said "Get rid of Gnabry, Bennacer, Reine-Adelaide for peanuts" and then watch all 3 get big money moves within a year or two of leaving?
There are many reasons to criticise Kroenke as owner, but micro-managing and having a say on who is bought and sold is just ridiculous.

I think you're both right tbh. Kroenke is not micro managing the club, yes, but he is certainly not providing a steady influx of money. This club is going nowhere with him at the helm.
