Cavani would have been head and shoulders above Tammy. That doesn't mean Lampard would have dropped the latter.

 

Lampard of course no, but a normal coach would.

Why are you guys watching Liverpool over Madrid derby?

[Special Juan 27,429]

Southampton have been brilliant, 3-0 down

What a shock. Even a draw! If they go the whole season with one draw...bonkers

yes, I said if they win out they will look back in raging anger at that Manure draw

only 4 major European teams have ever win every game (minimum more than 10 league games played)

 Rangers of Scotland in 1898-99

 Ferencvárosi of Hungary in 1931-32

 Dresdner SC of Germany in 1942-43

and then the big one

4 STRAIGHT seasons winning every league game, no draws

Sparta Praha of Czechoslovakia 1920-24

crushing them now

just wow

[Laylabelle 9,359]

It's weird to think of the players that we were linked with or rumoured with that play for them...and how some of the price were seen as crazy and yet...its paid off.

Because we already have too much 'potential'. We need proven quality in the team. Piatek started off brilliantly at Milan and now look at him. 

 

 

 

Do you put Lautaro in the proven quality category?

If not, who DO you put in there who could actually come here?

Werner is not coming here. That is a pipe dream. Same for Mbappe.

[Iggy Doonican 4,186]

Form team apart from the top two and dark horses to get fourth are Everton. As it stands only a point behind Man United and Spurs.

No I wouldn't risk Lautaro. 

There is always a chance with Werner. Until it specifically comes out of his mouth he prefers Liverpool, there is a chance. The only reports about him and Liverpool contradict each other. One saying it's his preferred destination and another stating he denied wanting to go there because he wouldn't start.

Also reported Liverpool made a move for Havertz. Fairly certain Klopp will want to form him into another Firmino.

only price I can see (at the time) being labelled as crazy is VVD

now it looks a bargain

we paid only 3m less for KEPA ffs

Alisson was I guess considered high as well, but still a bargain for the best or 2nd best (Oblak and him are pretty much equal) GK in the world

by then we ALL knew he was great

I get points for screaming to buy him the year before based off recs from my Brasilian mates (and some of my Bajan family who live in Brasil)

and less than what we paid for deh Kepa, grrrrrrr

no one else on the team was a big spend really

other than Keita at £54m (and there was an extra 10m or so involved in that 54m to lock him up, remember he did not come straight away), and I still say he comes good in a big way, as long as he stays healthy (his biggest issue), plus he is only 24 atm, soon 25yo

Fabinho is next highest at only £40m, and he is in the top 2 or 3 DMF's on the planet now

Mane and Salah both each cost less than Bakayoko, lolol

so given that (I just gave you words out of his own mouth), who do you rate as proven, who would come here?

putting all your eggs in the Werner basket is madness

Havertz does not impress me as a number nine type btw

I can see Klopp wanting him as a Coutinho style player perhaps

 

[Laylabelle 9,359]

42 games unbeaten...crazy days. 

Why do we have to play them last home game...contrast of emotions

Pretty much. Hes been worth every penny. Then when they brought their goalie so much omg how much. Then we beat it..except ours is iffy lol.

The  you have Chamberlain sign for them and how he had signed for a worse team then us...well...

Guess cant always tell but still.
