Sorry, so, let me get this straight.. Liverpool are still paying 2m a year on wages to Aquilani for the next 2 years, then 2.4m in the 3rd year, a total of 6.4m over 3 years? So basically in 3 years time the net transfer fee is 600k?
They've basically let him go on a free haven't they?

Ha ha. 20mil down the drain. Surely they could have got a few million for him off someone else.

The way I read it he will have a lower overall wage in his third year. Probably he has 2 years left on his Liverpool contract and didn't want to take a (big) drop in wages for that period, but he realizes that he won't get as much after that so he accepts a lower wage per year after that.
He's still been very expensive for Liverpool, a mate of mine is a Liverpool fan and his back of the napkin calculations were that he had cost them around £32m in total. More than a million per game.

Not with his wages and injury history. Only way they could get rid, they have pretty much just cut their losses while they could and meanwhile dropped their wage budget a bit to make room for Allen or someone else.
If they hadn't lost most of their wingers this summer I would have expected to see Joe Cole leave as well.
Not so sure about that. They've been cutting their losses big style with the new owners covering it, paying off debt, paying over the odds for new players. They're running losses at the moment, but they think they can get back in the CL places soon.

Mourinho's quotes on -
Kaka (clear "stay"):
"For me there is no problem. We will try to get the best out of him. He is a good player. He played well last season and helped us win games," he said. "Our hope is that he stays. As a coach I would be happy because he is serious, hardworking and contributes to the group.
Sahin (veiled "go")
"If he stays, he's not a problem for me. He's one more solution. We are leaving the situation in his hands. Decide what you want to decide, to be happy. If you decide to leave we're going to help you to leave. If you decide to stay, we're going to support you and try to succeed this season."

The Liverpool oversea support is huge, 2nd only to Utd. It's a money machine. The huge money they have spent has not been spent wisely though, which is the amusing bit. No way they'll get CL this year IMHO.
The more I see of Joe Allen the more I like him. He'll be a decent acquisition if they get him and one that obviously fits well with what Rodgers is trying to do.

I'm a bit confused about Pool. The bin-dippers presumably don't pay to get in, they just jump the turnstile, or maybe it is like £3 to get in, so they can't make much money from gate receipts
They keep finishing low down, and are not a CL team any more.
Surely they should be doing a Leeds Utd soon, not looking to forge up the table by splashing the cash.
W*nkers.
Oh, and someone said about ten pages ago that Arsenil keep making it into the CL so they make lots of money - but I would imagine they spend it all on wages and bonuses like we did, so not as big a net positive as you might think.
Shall we all just agree not to post for 3 hours and see if that brings us a new striker?
Perhaps if we hold our breath too?

Don't tell me the bin-dippers buy genuine shirts abroad? Far East fans will buy knock-offs, any others would just steal them and leg it... no?
I expect every update on twitter to be something breakin about us.

Salomón Rondón hasn't travelled with the Málaga squad to Italy for the Juventus friendly tomorrow. Marca are expecting him to sign for Rubin Kazan for €8-10 million.

Giving a four year deal to a thirty year old is pretty poor business IMO. Etuhu is a good player but has v little/no resale value..
Nuno Gomes, Danny Murphy, who next? Steve McManaman? Haha, sorry, I just couldn't resist! Big Spurs news coming also, next week!
GRRR!!!

Correct. Every 'pool supporter in the world is a thief.
