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

Because i was talking about the PL and the stats of both clubs and you then posted this and its not correct as Arsenal won the Fairs Cup in 1970 and that is not shown on there

Latest rumour is they after Eto now

My point was that history has no bearing when talking about signings for the upcoming season. You wanted to use the Wenger years to say arsenal will do better this year than Liverpool, I decided to move the parameters and look at the last 100 years. How Arsenal have performed over the last 15 years is irrelevant in this discussion.

The title has the words Liverpool and transfer market in it, not in Wenger we trust.
 
There was a funny clip on facebook last night where a journalist interviewed a Liverpool fan after the Borussia Dortmund game.

Journalist: so you are a Liverpool fan, what do you think of your chances this year?

Fan: well you know, I think we are definitely going to do the treble

Amazing!
I think Liverpool have massively improved their squad this year but has their first team improved without Suarez?
Additionally, it will be tight at the top with the quality at Chelsea, Man Utd, Man City, Arsenal, Tottenham (well maybe not), Everton (again, maybe not) as to whether Liverpool can fight for the league again.

Good luck to you boys though, you played some cracking football last season.

Depends, if he is coming on a free and is not going to cost a small fortune in wages then and be happy bench warming then cool. If not then why the hell are we looking at him?

Tbh mate I was happy to see him leave Chelsea.
He was an excellent player in the past,but looks average at best now.
I expected him to go to QPR.

Chelsea are relying a lot on this new guy Costa , The Brazilian spainish will need to score and if he breaks a leg in sept then what , Torres or Droba , they have more blanks these days then Blankety Blank ever had , but TBH good stikers are not in big supply at the moment , big demand for any goal scorer , wonder how much Ian Wright would cost these day or even Ian Rush

How would Arsenal do if Ramsey broke his leg??
Or UTD without RVP???
Liverpool without Sturridge???
You see where I'm going with this??

When as Drogba drawn blanks?? I still reckon he's got a few goals in him;)
& wright & rush wouldn't cost as much as the likes of Ronaldo as they weren't as good. Not my opinion FACT.

wright and rush were just pure goal scorers , Ronaldo is really a left winger who scores a mountain of goals

Fair enough. Not sure Wright or Rush would break any transfer fees if they were playing today tho. Both excellent players but I've seen better.
 
Moreno on his way for £12m plus add now, good bit if business of you ask me. So a RB, LB, CB, DM, 2 AM and a striker purchased, plus another ST gone back out on loan, that has addressed last years problem of having no real depth in the squad. Nett spend is around the £25m mark looking at selling on Borini and Assaidi so that would putt the spending to about even.

So Rogers still has a nice big wedge of cash to use if the right player comes along, probably in the £50-£60m region. Maybe there is still enough to put a big offer in for the likes of Reus, Lavezzi & Cavani, can't get all 3 but maybe 2 of them. Only me will tell but I think that he has some more aces to play in the transfer market, but I think it will be closer to the window shutting.

No were not and we've never overly relied on any out-and-out strikers when we get a constant flow of goals from wingers and creative midfielders. Hazard and Schurlle will get their fair share along with Oscar, Fabregas and Salah, set pieces will still allow Cahill, Terry and Ivanovic to get their share also, then Torres and Drogba will notch up some important goals when it matters, the days of relying on a lone striker for everything are well gone IMO, well at least at Chelsea anyway!

With that said, I think Costa will be top goal PL scorer this season :smirk:

Why is it so funny, another 2 goals last night, he's looks strong and hungry, takes on defenders at pace and has a quality finish, all the hallmarks that a PL striker need, I can't think of another dominant striker with so much quality around him that could get close.

Top PL scorer 2014/15 :thup:

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

You seriously think Henderson is a bargain? PSG bought Cabaye for the same price and he's twice the player henderson is.

I like the way you say i have nothing to base my judgement on yet you seem to think these players are worth their money.

In regards to transfer fees, these are all off www.transfermarkt.com which i believe far more than any newspaper.

The problem is you have only signed good players. Nothing world class, and you've paid a lot for them. If Liverpool seriously believe your own hype you'd be signing players like Vidal, Sanchez, Reus. Not doing exactly what spurs did and replace Bale with mediocrity.
