Liverpool submitted a new £42m bid for Lavia but Southampton still insist on £50m or no deal for someone they got for £12m last season. It's understand that Liverpool new bid will be rejected. Crazy days ahead

We can bluff all we want but we'll eventually pay it and they know it - that's just how we work.
I watched Lavia live and he did look like a decent player - and he's still really young. But this is crazy money for a guy that just dropped to the Championship.

The fact that there simply aren't that many good '6-es' (defensive midfielders) on the market helps Soton to push the price up. That's why Caicedo is rated at 80 million as well.

I just wanted to say that the side bet of last year between me and CLS63 has been fulfilled by him by sending the 0.001 Bitcoin to me as we have bet on Arsenal or Manchester to be above each other and I choose Arsenal in that bet.

Here is tx from him to me as I want to be transparent that he is a good guy and fulfills his duty.

Most likely I will be paying for the pool these days also.

Sorry CLS63 that I completely forgot about our sidebet last season, I've requested payment now from my Livecasino wallet for your entry so we should have about 20+ now. I'll update the signup thread shortly once it gets processed.

Lavia instead of Caicedo for us? I guess the total recall really is happening. VVD and Konate I felt also needed new faces to challenge them. They are certain starters but they haven't really been what I called rocksteady.

No title for sure, but let's hope we put together another fearsome team!

[darxiaomi]

Well like i said in my previous post, this week i made the payment and im again up in this ship.

I hope my payment help to increase the number and more people join the pool like years before, its good to have one pool at least with a good ammount of people in.

Your team must improve their defence. You just blew a two-goal lead against Bayern, and I believe Liverpool needs Caicedo more than we do. Depending on Matip and Van Djik would be a major issue for the squad next season. Van Djik is already in over his head. Only Lavia can fixed that

Thank you for your nice words. I was thinking at the beginning of the previous year that Manchester United would show a much better performance than Arsenal. Thankfully you were the only one who had a side bet with me so I had a near miss.

I like to remind you of how I defeated you so no problem. Besides what do you say for a similar side bet for next season as well? I think I will finish the pool above you again this season

Worrisome, I get it that the attack seemed to working just fine and free flowing at the moment, but does Jurgen Klopp ever prioritizes midfielders, because that's the is an absolute need for that and it would have been in the teams best interest to have deep-lying midfielder and then a conventional CDM with high consistency, if he still plans to make TAA come up the field because he almost Liverpool best play maker in my opinion, so having 2 CDMs when defending will often cover up for his defensive frailties, because to me it's a big ask of to be that creative in the center of the pack and up front while still expecting a world class defensive abilities of him, especially when he's the one that often get caught up in those 2 on 1, or 3 on 2 situation, with VVD nowhere in sight ? I've not been keep tabs with the Liverpool's transfer dealing other the departures to middle east so I might be missing a couple significant details, but with how free flowing the has been scoring and Darwin's form in the preseason, Liverpool are conceding way too many goals, a slight diversion from the native 4-3-3 to 4-2-3-1 or 3-2-4-1 would be a master piece for Liverpool from my view, other than the fact that it could limit Liverpool's threat on their fast-paced counter attacking football, It would do their defensive stance a whole lot of good.

Just got the invite from hilarious and joined, I chose Luton Town as my team since I don't really support anyone in EPL (but you can say I'm a bit anti Man City).

Now I read Gvardiol going to city. Great guy, but I wish these guys don't end up at City, hard for me to enjoy them knowing thhey have the best players surrounding them.

I see loads of you guys going for sidebets, prize from pool not enough?

The prize of the pool is more than enough and in fact is the pool that has the highest prize and this was the case for the several years that this pool has been going on.Last year I won double the entry fee 0.005 but I consider the last season as a "complete failure" to me as I was holding a position to win 0.011 Bitcoin for several of the last weeks and I only lost the position in the last week,which was really bad luck last season for me,nevertheless I got back more than I gave so it was a good season overall.

The problem is that side bets are good for people as no one is guaranteed to end in a winning positions and side bets are easy to make and win.

Yep, I agree. But the problem with the defence for me is also in the quality of our CB-s.
Van Dijk hasn't played well in ages, Konate is pure, utter shit, Matip is past it and Gomez is a Premier League player only because he's English. We really need a quality CB - and then we also need a good season from our new captain.

If VVD keeps his current form and is paired with either Konate or Matip, we'll be conceding like crazy even if we put Makelele from his prime years in front of them.

Also it adds alot more motivation to win otherwise we need to pay the price at the end of the season


Paid mine today, will be joining this year again. This contest has pretty much become a tradition for most of us. I could skip the other contest thread but this one is pretty special as I recall its the first one wasnt it

I have never win from all these years of joining so perhaps this year could be mine

VVD was a shambles last season and he'll still walk into the starting eleven without a fight. I believe this is where Manchester City stands out from the other; with VVD out of form, he shouldn't be starting games, but that's never going to happen. Matip is old and slow, he needs a backup, Konate was fantastic last season, he has what it takes to be a world class player, he's long been VVD's replacement, but we may not see the best of him at Liverpool if he doesn't get much needed games time to build confidence. At best, Gomez is a British Tax.

Alexander assistant captain? Why not Salah.

Fabinho left, Lavia seems like the chosen replacement for us. Not really sure I like this to be honest.

Liverpool submitted a new £42m bid for Lavia but Southampton still insist on £50m or no deal for someone they got for £12m last season. It's understand that Liverpool new bid will be rejected. Crazy days ahead

I would still pick Fabinho over Lavia, honestly...  Some of the players Liverpool let go were due to leave honestly, but I don't consider Lavia for Fabinho an upgrade to the team by any criteria whatsoever if you ask me. But the relationship between Liverpool and Southampton is just what it is, sometimes get more value than they pay for but other times it's the contrast opposite, so I'd say they are just paying back for the good deals they've from the Saints in the past.

You can't compare Fabiaho to Lavia, who is only 19 years old. He may lack experience, but the kid is danm amazing, and Chelsea were after him last season and our £50m wasn't enough to get him. He may not be what they need, but trust me on this. Southampton products to Liverpool never disappoint. Mane, VVD and the rest.....

Southampton is Liverpool playground. Another Dortmund and Bayern combo.

Fabinho was a beast for 4 seasons, sadly his legs are gone now so I don’t mind him moving on. I do really want us to sign Lavia, our owners are so cheap though. I have no trust in them at all to close this deal. They always let Klopp down and don’t back him enough in the transfer market.

Allowing players to leave before finding replacements is what really irritated me about Chelsea's transfer, as is Liverpool's. You'll always be in trouble if you have to replace more than four players in one summer. Manchester City sign 2-3 players per summer, whilst Liverpool and Chelsea build a new team every 2-3 seasons. There is no progressive plan.

Liverpool are slow with negotiations.

You could chose Liverpool. All anti City fans are welcome in Liverpool. 😉

Someone who have good knowledge about clubs and their activities in the management can make good money from side bets. There are always people to disagree and if you are in the right side then you win it. Two seasons ago, I think I lost two side bets. I decided not to argue with some of these guys anymore LOL

[swogerino]

I wanted to pay today for the pool despite having lost a lot of money on Sweet Bonanza yesterday and finally I got my staked ZIL-s out today but when I try to convert them to Bitcoin to pay as you can see in the picture it takes from today morning until now in the evening they are stuck in waiting confirmation.So I write to support and if I get the money I pay but most likely I am paying as soon as I get my next signature round which is 9 August as my max pay date for the pool.

[slaman29]

No idea what you were referring to swogerino but I believe we also had late payments before should be no problem for known old players like you

I think you guys have enough fans here in this pool. I definitely like how you guys play, never boring and building superstars from normal talents but I might support someone else who doesn't have enough fans like Luton lol

Yeah thank you first for the kind words.I was exchanging my ZIL to Bitcoin in order to make the money and I have made an error,I needed a bit more time to exchange them because they were recently unstaked from the wallet I hold them.So rather than rushing I will be paying before just the start of the tournament on August 9-10 max as I said.

I also had a heavy lost amount in Sweet Bonanza which I am not that well recovered yet but the funny thing with these providers is the same,as soon as you raise the bet,money gone in an instant.
