Rodgers to Chelsea for £117m, lads.
Good player and only 23, but £117m? That's absurd money.

When he has played for England, I thought he was quality. But there are better players for that cash.

Isak, second best striker in the Prem was £125m just 12 months ago. I can't wrap my head around these valuations. The market is insane this year, I know that lack of talent means inflated prices, but this window is taking the absolute piss, the way things are going, I don't see it recovering either, this is 'the new normal', I'm afraid.

I think the fees and the wages are absolutely disgusting. The majority of the country is afraid to use their central heating in the winter, and some of these guys are demanding more and more every year. For me, the standard has been dropping every year. Look at players like Jesse Lingard. Doesn't even care if he has a football career because he earned so much money in the first few years, he can just carry on like a rat bag for the rest of his life and waste his talent.
The game is gone. I enjoy grass roots, and Liverpool games. That's it. If I didn't support Liverpool, I would take nothing to do with Premier League at all.
{Ed001's Note - Lingard went to Korea so he could carry on playing, not sure you can say that about him.}
