shrenshah 186 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 What we could have been if we had true sense of talent... Salah and de bruyne still in the team Mbappe running our right flank having been rejected while he was s teenager Neymar from santos for 30m was almost done when he was not in the limelight but we managed to give up Alisson could have been at chelsea had we not dragged the courtois situation till the end of the window Van dijk was considered too expensive at 60m and we settled for rudiger These are just the ones i remember Also we have bought the likes of drinkwater, bakayoko, etc Just recapping to highlight how crucial it is for us to have a good couple of window else we are screwed for the next decade...judgement of talent seems to be so bad at our club, its shambolic Vesper and manpe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neymar got talked round by Pele, VVD wanted Liverpool and only Liverpool while Alisson has a straight choice between us both and choose the Scousers. And you say judgement is bad, I'd say our recruitment since we changed our style of play has been very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool was nowhere near the level they are right now when van dijk signed...if we wanted him we would have got him...we baulked at 60mn and paid 30mn for rudiger... Post our change in style we have signed jorginho kovacic barkley bakayoko amongst others...kova and jorginho are good but can we compete with them in champions league...not a chance...that too we paid almost 90-100mn for the 2 combined Dont think we have been investing wisely with a long term in mind, constant changes in managers has badly impacted it. Youth is semi-delivering atm but we cant compete even for prem league (let alone cl) with the team we have even in next 5 yrs when all our young players mature...

They may not have been that level but all reliable sources said VVD wanted Liverpool, even City tried but his mind was made up. Furthermore let's not pretend we as a fanbase saw how good VVD would become, go on his rumour thread here and the Shed End there were more people against the signing than for, and when the rumours came about that we were prepared to give Southampton Christensen as a sweatner everyone was universally horrified at the mere thought of it. 13 minutes ago, shrenshah said: Post our change in style we have signed jorginho kovacic barkley bakayoko amongst others... Bakayoko and Ross were both before the change. 13 minutes ago, shrenshah said: ..kova and jorginho are good but can we compete with them in champions league... Look at Liverpools lineup and hand on heart tell me which players you thought could ever have been key players for CL and runaway PL winners? Were you looking at Andy Robertson getting relegated with the worst defensive record at Hull thinking he could be the next great fullback? If Jordan Henderson can play in an elite team those two most certainly can. ulsterchelsea, Vesper and Hamilton 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he would be a good signing.He's on fire after getting back to Brazil. I haven't watched him since he returned home but my prior opinion was that he was hopeless. I predicted that no top European club would take him, was shocked when Inter did but then predicted they would regret it. I think it's a fair assessment to say that they did quickly come to regret making that deal. Barring a remarkable, I might say unique, turnaround in his output, I have no interest in this player at all. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He failed at Inter but you can’t deny his talent, looks like a grown ass man now, not sure wheter he wouldve been a bad signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
