Of all the signings made last summer, this is the one that has defined our season so far the most… talented, expensive, peak years, former glories, started well but now seems like he can’t be arsed just when we most need him #LOFC

#LOFC posted its latest financial statements today, showing a record loss of £4.6m for last season. But that's just a reflection of wider trends in the game: even in the 3rd tier it's losing touch with reality more and more each year
