The impending sale of Insua wouldn't surprise me if we already had a permanent leftback which we don't. Now I'm one of those that don't rate him that highly simply because he lacks one attribute that I don't think anyone can improve on, pace. He can improve in his positioning, tackling and almost any other ability but in the Premiership, you need pace to be a fullback especially when you are expected to run up and down to support the flank going forward and back. He did his best as a stand-in but his lack of pace was always going the be exploited. $5 million? Hmm... not a whole lot but then again, like I said, I don't think he's worth much more than that although he is still young.

What determines if this is a wise sale? Who are we bringing in? Looks like we're now linked with Paul Konchesky for $2 million pounds, which is a decent price for a bloke with a couple of caps on his cap. That being said, he isn't anything more than an average player so it looks like RH is having to trading like for like quality players to round up whatever transfer funds he can.

Needless to say, our immediate future is definitely not a bright one.
Given there's no LB backup, I couldn't understand why Insua was sold when he didn't requested transfer and the sum was not an offer so attractive it can't be refused.

One of the fear of Insua sales was the club is really desperate for money, and another fear is where RH has control in the pitch but not in transfers.

As it sits now, players are getting shipped out and the only one in is a free transfer.

I'm also inclined to think J.Cole signed with money in mind and among all Liverpool offered the highest. 90K per week for 4 years is a good fetch for him, given the media impression that his performance and injuries aren't getting any better. If he stays fit, then it's all good.

Signing an England international player for free will definitely appease some fans. A few more good buys and RH can get more positive support from fans.

Business deal done actually.
Liverpool pays 2m upfront for last year's Scottish Young Player of the Year and they can ship out one of the older CB defenders for additional money.

yesterday..15% rise & theres 4 category..pls read earlier in this thread..

Actually 3 categories with prices ranging from 16% to 5%. Not to mention they announced it the same time with J.Cole signing.

It probably doesn't effect anyone of you, but do you feel 15% increase sits well with the loyal fans?
