OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 21 minutes ago, It's too big said: We keep hearing Liverpool are a threat and only need this player or that player. We shall see next season, but to talk as if they're world beaters because they have signed some decent players is silly. For all we know, they could finish 4th or 5th next season. You can't predict anything. Nobody is saying they are world beaters, they got to a CL final with a pretty thin squad and they've strengthened it with 3 players that most of the other top 4 teams would of liked to have signed, that is the point. They are not standing stilll. They've already improved before a ball has even been kicked. DDA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! manpe 10,861 Posted June 8, 2018 Popular Post! Share Posted June 8, 2018 Liverpool's pulling power in this moment of time is much greater than ours, we need to face this. We can't sign players like Fabinho or Fekir over them, because players see the club reaching the CL final, having ambition, strategy, a good manager. Us on the other hand, they see no CL, shit playing style, manager situation unclear, owner exiled, stadium rebuild halted, best players' futures unclear and so on. In this state we'll be feeding off scraps for some time. Mufassir08, El P., Fernando and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be concerned if they sign Alison & a good CB to partner VVD. Matip, Lovren, VVD & Klavan is top 10 quality at best.

Honestly don't think Karius is a bad goalkeeper, despite that CL moments, hes not the greatest but hes solid enough. He was pretty good at Mainz as well. But yeah another CB, GK and talk of a back up winger (Shaqiri - not the greatest but as a back up for the cash they've mentioned? Decent enough) along with the fact they've got that front 3, a wealth of MF options and Klopp who is a top manager with full backing? They could go a step better this season in the league and challenge for the PL. Us on the other hand? Not a disastrous summer yet but fuck all happening is usually a bad sign, even wee rumours linking us to good players don't seem to be happening...

Buffon would be a class above at 40.We just need to sort out managerial situation first and go come there. No idea if we'll end up with Sarri or Avram Grant.Really is pathetic Unionjack and OneMoSalah 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Fuck Pool. They could sign as many players as they want and still will not finished above Mancs next season in PL, and think they will finally run out of luck in CL draw.

My heart feels the same way but my heads a twat and it is scared by the way they are strengthening their weaknesses while we are still trying to strengthen from seasons back.

Laylabelle 9,534 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I don't think unless we get things sorted that it'll effect us anyway. Especially if we don't strengthen the way we need to. They'll be fighting for the title.. We won't be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin123 530 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Bordeaux have rejected Inter's offer for #Malcolm, not for the sum offered (exceeds €40M) but rather for the transfer terms. Negotiations blocked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
