It's funny Klopp said they wouldn't go for Haaland because he was so expensive, yet they went for Nunez who is way less proven but pretty damn expensive. Looking at those prices, I would rather have Haaland.

In reality, Haaland probably never wanted to join Liverpool

While Mbappe claimed he was in discussions with Liverpool to join them also.

Lots of shit gets spoken by coaches and boards to protect their own position.

The basis of that 'economical' analysis is based off newspapers - yet he chose values that werent widley reported because? lol.
Secondly you are meant to analyse the data then then form a conclusion, he by his own admission went to prove his conclusion by analysing the data lol. You just need to look at the fact he used 43m pounds for the commissions and agent fee when its been widely reported to be 40m euros which is 34m pounds. His transfer fee is also widley rumoured to be 51m pounds not 52m but i guess every million helps.

But hey people don't question anything in the news so expecting people to actually be critical of accuracy of data, how it's collated and analysed and not take it at face value is expecting way too much.

Not sure how that adds anything to my point? or concludes why he used outlier values (outside of making a point).

We never wanted Haaland. We wanted Kylian.

Without looking through rest of posts, pretty sure it just shows he admitted data isn't entirely accurate and taken from media reports.

And you don't prove conclusions.
You prove hypotheses. If he had an idea he decided to test with the available data then there's hardly anything to complain about in terms of the steps taken. Just the accuracy of it can be debated

It doesn't answer my points at all or why i have an issue with how this data is consumed by the general footballing population, why did he choose values much higher than those widely reported? because he wanted it to fit his agenda. Secondly this isn't a scientific analysis its a financial one.....

In finance you "prove conclusions"? That's a new one.
Either way, semantics.

What does it matter which number he used? And why is it a problem to nitpick in this case to present it as if it discredits the analysis. What 'agenda' would that be?

Liverpool don't pay salaries at the level City pay. So he was right that Nunez is less expensive. Once Nunez is too big for the club he will leave for Real Madrid.

Mane was paid peanuts when compared to forwards from other big teams.

Haaland wasn't interested in Liverpool anyway, that is also true.
