Certainly are important for a number of things but shouldn't IMO be used to judge anything
A number of things impressed me today and with Markovic and Lallana still to fit in that team then maybe it's just one more attacker we need - the amount of chances we are going to create is going to be great for a striker but lots of players where getting into great positions in the box
Lovren was very nice on the ball - he will add a different dimension and the back 4 looked very solid - Can and Lucas provided lots of energy and Henderson just continues to impress
Going to be very interesting - thankfully it appears the same belief and attitude will be evident this year
Cant see Lucas and can playing together IMO. Henderson Gerrard and one more for me.
Lovren is is a quality cb. We got top money for him. But I'd rather he stayed. But cl was always to hard for us to refuse. Glad we've drawn a line for Morgan.

Lucas and Can won't play together - too similar with Can having a better passing range
I don't think the Schnderlin situation has gone away yet - he certainly doesn't seem very happy
No but I have more confidence in our board. We told him not to come in. Not him refuse so showing some strength. I'd still sell him if silly money came in. But if he has to rot in reserves so be it.

Just doesnt happen - they will find middle ground and he will either play or leave - your team isnt in the position to let him rot in the ressies
We've made £100m and he's only on like 16k. If anything. We're better placed than most IMO. Nit saying it will happen. Just that is should.

Absolutely pointless game......result means nothing .......pre season friendly.

The result does mean nothing - hence why i never mentioned the result and focused on the individual performances of certain players
Also havent used it to proclaim anything about the forthcoming season
And you will have to show me where i said anything about "pointless game"

Think Liverpool have spent their money incredibly poorly.
22m for Lovren is an absolute joke. 28m for Lallana is a joke. Markovic, Can and Origi for around 40m is ridiculous for unproven players.
All that money and not one world class player. I don't think they'll struggle this season but they really haven't done well in the transfer market.

Blimey - that's a lot of judgement based on what exactly ? And the fees seem to have increased
Some of the players are a bit more than they are worth - Lallana for £20mil ( plus add ons ) is prob a bit too much
Lovren is prob at £20mil prob £5mil too much but it's what price is needed to get the players into the club
As for Can - his clause was £10mil - the club valued him a lot higher
Origi - £10mil is a good price for a player who looks like he has the potential to be another Drogba
Markovic - well the guy has already had two CL seasons under his belt and impressed
They may have cost a lot between them but as long as they perform it's immaterial for me what their price is
People slated the money we spent on Henderson - that looks a bargain right now.
The transfer market hasn't finished yet and more will arrive and it's looking very bright right now for us

If & it's a big IF Origi ends being half as good as Drogba then £10m is a bargain.

thats the the gamble though. Go into the transfer market and pick up promising young players and hope they do reach their potential. You could wait another year and see how he matures, but if he sticks in 25 goals and a couple for Belguim then all of a sudden he's going to cost over £20m.

That's the path the owners appear to want to make
Get the players before they are worth £30mil plus

Not sure sometimes how people make their judgements on players. Lovren is 25 and played 31 PL games last year, also he has played 38 games in European competition and 28 caps for Croatia. Granted, maybe the fee was a little bit high,(which was actually £20m) but If you want a player that is tied into a long contract you have to pay to get them.

Wodered how long it would take for you to come along............................go play elsewhere as you are really starting to get boring now. Anyone who is as blinkered and narrow minded when it comes to football really can't be taken seriously when they want to say something. 👋

I wasn't knocking it.
You can't buy a proven world class player for £10m so if he's got potential it could be a good bit of business.
Every signing is a gamble.
