Soccernomics: Why Liverpool and John W Henry will not beat the market on transfer deadline day – Telegraph Blogs.

I personally found Soccernomics a bad book. Too much storytelling and not enough analysis. Moneyball is a must read.

Football writing is very variable. This is probably as close good analysis as you’ll get.

Both Newcastle and Liverpool are cities where the club is one of the few things to be proud of.

“That makes it 11m in net spending and an arguably far stronger squad.”

Everyone will say that it is a lot of money but what Liverpool get out of this is anazing.

– A younger player.

– An English player which is important for European games.

– Enough cash to get a midfielder.

This is good business all round.
