Brilliant, isn't it? Signing a lad on massive wages on a 4 year deal whilst letting someone like Bates go because they're too stingy to pay him a couple more grand. And add to this all the donkeys they've got on massive packets already that they can't get rid of. You can tell the season book money has been rolling in, but it'll be soft loan (or 'overdraft facility') time soon enough, and then the fun will begin! Edited by Tenenbaum, 14 May 2018, 01:39 PM.

The Sun even after Hillsborough had access to Liverpool press conferences only last year did that change, but Liverpool players were never to give the Sun an interview 1 on 1. It finished Souness at Anfield. |

From what I saw of their side on Sunday, Rossiter looks better than most of them. That's seven players for the central midfield when you add in the "wonderkid" McCrorie and before you start talking about Holt and Halliday. Rossiter (contract expiry 2020) Jack (contract expiry 2020) Dorrans (contract expiry 2020) Arfield (contract expiry 2022) Holt (contract expiry 2020) Halliday (contract expiry 2020) McCrorie (contract expiry 2022) Docherty (contract expiry 2022) All of them have multiple years left on their contracts (with pretty much all of them maximising their current earning potential), and of the players list only none of them with the exception of McCrorie are particularly position flexible. I suppose Dorrans or Arfield can be the 'attacking' midfield at a push, and we've all seen Halliday at LB. That's a hell of a lot of central midfielders. One more than we've got, and ours have far more of a balance of attacking and more defensive midfielders. Brown Kouassi Bitton Rogic Armstrong Ntcham McGregor |

The first big test for Ge55ad will be how he plays along with the inevitable disciplinary issues, train wiv de kidz, 6am starts, tearing up of contracts etc which usually heralds them trying to get rid of duffers. Don't know much about Arfield, but fully expect him to be mediocre. |

Never mind the quality, feel the bloat. So many players sign for the huns but damn few ever leave. They've got some from the garderner's riegn, some from the magic hat guy, some from the barking mad caravan guy and some from the handstanding stand in. If they don't start to get rid of players then the wages will cripple them further. Problem being, i'd imagine, is that they're on wages that they can't get elsewhere and on contracts the huns can't afford to buy out. Interesting times ahead. |

Exactly. Despite blowing a 2 goal lead, I’ve seen our support go similarly tonto at pulling a match level.

And I'm pretty sure we're not living in the movie Groundhog Day, yet somehow the point your making seems to be one I've heard more than a few times on here. Arfield will end up on the scrap heap alongside the rest of them

Absolutely. Most teams would have offered a 2 year contract on that wage and at that age. The Huns had to go all in with the full 4 as it was likely the only way to convince him - and he probably couldn't believe his luck when they did offer the full 4 years. You'd have to assume Gerrard had some say in the matter. A full 4 years...is Gerrard going to build his midfield around him?

Does the Arfield signing mean there's no place for Pena? 😥😥😥 |

Airfield is 30 this year I thought he was only mid 20s, time flies. One report says he has been injured since February. I always remembered him at Falkirk as good, busy, advanced centre mid alongside Patrick Cregg who was more the defensive ball winner. He has only scored 2 goals in the last 2 seasons though. Will he be booed for turning his back on Scotland? Edited by Adam Smith 11, 14 May 2018, 03:01 PM.

If he's on £38k a week then they are clearly driving the ship as fast they can into the nearest iceberg. Mayhem. |

£5k with bonuses. Winning and Retaining the CL will net him £38k. |

No wonder he's taken a 4 year deal. Who else would give him £20K+ a week, knowing that his final 2 seasons are likely to be less fuitful than the first 2 purely because of age / declining fitness?



- I'm sure Liverpool & the Scousers will just love that !

Despite blowing a 2 goal lead, I’ve seen our support go similarly tonto at pulling a match level.
