Liverpool - It's not looking too bad in the transfer market

He got rid of Andy Carrol and buys Lambert , same type of player , they have spent just as much or even more then spurs , too many new players need time to bed in and if results are not great and because of expectations the unrest will grow quickly

Lambert is noway near the same as Carroll. Although interesting to see an arsenal fan criticise a team for not buying a striker when all you have is giroud.

Lambert is a 3 mil back up striker who will add something a little different but is also comfortable with the ball at his feet and doesnt spend 6 months each year injured

The players we have bought - 4 of them are youngsters who will be developing their careers and wont be straight into the first team - 2 more are established prem proven players and the other is a back up player. Its quite simple to see if someone has the foresight to look past the figures.

BR is building a squad - he will be given time to build that squad

I have the foresight and I cant see it , they need a Carvani or that type of player and he buys young players , now the money is spent what next , Sturridge looks good wen LS was there , now what , he did not cut it else where , why ?
 
JCW said:
amen to that lol , but i dont think so unless its a bad start and the fans get on his back which did happen last year before LS came back and things change , no LS this year

Sorry but what happened last year ? Which Liverpool fans got on his back before LS came back ? We were doing ok before he came back with out best start in years with Sturridge scoring a fair amount of goals ?

i certainly cant remember fans getting on Rodgers back last season - can you provide a bit of substance to that statement ?

Did you know Liverpool were actually 2 points from top before Suarez came back. Arsenal were actually top. So tell me how Liverpool were terrible and had a bad start before Suarez was back?

Well i know thats for sure

Again the transfer window hasnt closed and still plenty of times to sort out deals.

Sturridge scored a decent amount whilst Suarez was suspended last year - he also scored well at both Chelsea and City just never got a decent run in the team. Can you really critisize our strikers when they outscored yours

Sorry but I really must question whether you actually watch football.

Lambert has far more to his game than Carroll as he can hold the ball bringing others into the play, he is able to drift wide creating space to be exploited by runners from midfield plus he converts chances at a better rate.

I am no Liverpool fan but at £3m in the current market he is a steal.

Carroll on the other hand is very one-dimensional requiring a team to play to him rather than with ​him.

Just to clarify my comment was tongue in cheek.

I don't actually remember many fans getting on Rodgers back at all( apart from me!)

I'm not a massive fan of Lambert and I don't see where or how he fits into the starting xi.

I thought a man of your stature that only a few days ago gave us a wonderful insight into football finances and how it works would be able to understand the difference between Carroll on £90k a week and Lambert on £40k.

Cavani isn't the answer to replacing Suarez because Luis Suarez is 100% irreplaceable.

What we now have to do is make slight changes adjustments to how we play and find another way to win. Other players also new to step up again.

Chelsea have strengthened an already quality squad quite impressively, side

City's side has quality right throughout the squad.

Arse have strengthened too.

This time last season Liverpool lacked quality and was probably 5/top players behind these sides, and to be honest I still think we're 5/6quality players behind those 3 sides so my expectations haven't really changed from this time last year.

I know some will say "you've spent £100m on your squad" but to actually catch up to those sides and start on a level we'd have to spend another £180m on 6 quality players imo.

The way I'm reading this is that you don't think the players brought in are at a good enough standard? Tbh I only watch Liverpool, so any signings we ever make are all relativley new/unheard of to me. Hope this is not the case.
other than gk every position has one new face added to the squad, and with the exception of strikers we definitely look stronger on paper. Obviously the big question is how to compensate for the loss of Luis, which if Brendon's can find the answer to, would surely remove any critics still remaining.
And personally, if we have to spend another 180 mil to catch up with Arsenal we are in big trouble.

Catch up with Arsenal ?

Surely they now need to catch up with us with us moving ahead of them last season :D
 
Rumours of reina to Bayern for £2m. Shame as he was a good keeper in his time. Now destined to earn his cash carrying the half time oranges as he has no change of earning a spot in goal.

Just trying to promote debate and it work , i got some good points and some digs too which show a very poor downside to those that post that sort of stuff , LS is a big pair of shoes to fill and maybe they never will , Arsenal have not filled RVP`s boots yet but we have someone who is steady but has others around him like Ramsey , Walcott , Carzola and now Sanchez who can score too which has made Arsenal a better team as we have more goal scorers and we won a trophy which we never did with RVP , now will that be the same for Liverpool we will have to wait and see and the quicker they move on the better , Lambert will do a job but the others need to step now to life without LS

Your posts are almost laughable. You believe that Sanchez is the answer to Arsenal winning the PL and having a chance of CL success? I think he would have been better off spending that money on someone like Vidal. Looking better going forward is ok, but you have to have the ball first.

Isn't Carzola rumoured to be leaving ? Walcott always injured, Ramsey - injured

The Arsenal squad still has the same glaring holes in it and Sanchez doesn't fill those gaps

And as been said your posts are almost laughable
