The English Football Thread

What do mean "seriously?"

Sure they spend a lot compared to most clubs, but they can't compete with ANY of the club's above them for players. They won't/can't spend £40m, £50m, or £60m on a single player or a couple of super stars.

Any manager who takes over at Liverpool will be handicapped and restrained by their place in the food chain.

I love making fun of them as much as possible, but they're still one of the most well known clubs in the world. They can attract star players IF they have a manager that players want to play for and a realistic shot at success. Whoever has been in charge of transfers just haven't wanted to put the money in for star players in the last few seasons.

Well cordinated attacking football at its finest. Utd are self capitulating here.

ehhh this is after many years of failure for Wenger.

With time like that sure anyone can.

At least with Arsenals win, Wenger will still be around..

Jamie Carragher: "Liverpool are becoming Tottenham, think they're a big club but the real big clubs are not too worried about them - who they buy, what they're going to do - that's the situation as it's become for Liverpool, even when I was there at the end."

Damning but spot on.

They are silly if they think they can get Klopp. He is on holiday.

They have the international break to sort out a boss, I think it will be Klopp.

They've spent tons of cash on tons of shit players. They know they can't attract stars so they hoarde loads of mediocre ones.

Difference with us is that we CHOOSE not to spend £40m on players. We could if we wanted to, they can't.

u dont need to buy 40mil players to win leagues and trophies.

as for "attracting stars", thats just wrong. obviously they can. put in jose instead of BR right now, and he will be able to attract anyone that chelsea can attract. same goes with someone like klopp. BR just dint have the pull with him. similar issue was with moyes and LVG.

Former Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp is Liverpool's first choice to replace Brendan Rodgers (BBC) #BVB #LFC

[Fernando 6,484]

I hope they appoint Klopp. I don't want Carlo to go there because they would fly.

Are you serious?

Klopp is better and will make them a real title contender like he did with Dortmund.

Carlo needs big stars and that won't happen at Liverpool.

[Oscar 441]

High press tactics in a team filled with injury prone players...

Klopp will need to sell and buy a ton of players at Liverpool.

[Reddish-Blue 2,354]

Interesting rumor..

[Special Juan 27,439]

:lol:

It would be good to see Klopp in England but in wrong team

BREAKING: Jurgen Klopp has told Liverpool that he wants to become the new manager. [bBC Sport]

Hmmm Klopp would be nice for the EPL, not good for us this season. I will be a tough battle with Spurs and Liverpool for the 4th spot.
