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

Id suggest many teams have finished above you since those two teams had money. The sugar daddies is an easy excuse IMO. You came close last year but for a few mistakes so it can be done with those teams around.

It's only been done by Man UTD

Since Abramovich arrived three clubs have won the PL - City , Chelsea and UTD. Two with sugar daddies and one is prob the second richest and biggest clubs in the world.

Agree with this. It's just an easy excuse to fall back on when they fail. Funny that they criticise Arsenal for not winning trophies tho,aren't they also competing with Chelsea & City?
UTD haven't done too bad since the Chelsea & City takeovers.

Since the Premier league started only 5 teams have won it in total.
 
Liverpool will (or could be a force) in the cups although what credence they give the League Cup is open to conjecture. If they wanted to play good sides and win it they'd have a great shout. Whether they can compete in the PL and CL is debatable and I'm happy to stick my head above the parapet and predict Liverpool will not finish top 3 and will be CL final 8 (a pretty decent performance if you're realistic)
 
Looks like PSG need to sell some players to enable them to purchase Di Maria

Possibly players like Lucas , Pastore , Lavezzi and Cavani being available - one or two of those would be very exciting
 
I'm merely pointing out to whoever started this thread that it's not looking that good - with Suarez gone, Gerrard a year older and I have a feeling Sterling won't be as good this year......que humble pie! It's not looking great, Liverpool finished second last year, instead of showing ambition and pushing on they have signed poorly IMO. Don't get me wrong I think Llana could be decent, but the rest you have to ask why at the price? The Llana price is a joke when you see what Kroos got picked up for. Real, Barca, Chelsea, even Atletico to name a few have all went out and made some top signings to push forward, this is what liverpool should have done, they've spent big on potential and we all know what happened last time, Andy Carroll anyone? I think for the money they got in things could have been so much better.

As far as Falcao goes, from what I hear its a done deal to Real, they just need to offload Di Maria to PSG! Cavani moving to utd could be holding that one up!
 
Never fails to amaze me how many other clubs' fans post about Liverpool, be it positive or negative. Other clubs hardly get a mention.

I 'get' the obsession, I was born here, live here and supported them all my life.

What's your excuse?

Stengthens the point then doesn't it.

3 with billionaires, one of the others the 2/3 rd richest club in the world.

Out of interest coming from Barnsley, how did you "stumble" upon Chelsea?

Still a cop out,Liverpool have spent enough over the years & you know it. Finished 2nd last year & spending big now, so unless you were a one man team you should be kicking on.

Oh & my grandad was a Chelsea fan:thup:

No doubt, Liverpool should have won it over the last 20 odd years, but we have consistently spent lots of money (a bit like Spurs) and never had the "benefits" of the billionaires sharp injections of cash, that have been able to shortcut success. Every billionaire that has massively invested over the last 20 odd years has won the league - cheapens it somewhat.

Did you not go with your parents team, most do, although it depends on who they support, I suppose.

Haven't been to a Chelsea game for a couple of seasons either.
Anything else I can help you with matey?

this is is a thread about Liverpool so of course people are talking about them. They've also been more active than most so more subject matter. Pretty sure David Moyes had a thread all to himself from the moment he was appointed til he was sacked and plenty of pool fans were on there too.

Cardiff City?

Vincent Tan's net worth is £1.3bn. They haven't won the league.

That billion is how much Chelsea have spent in the last ten years

It's more than having a rich owner - it's having one that will spend limitless amount on players - Chelsea , City , PSG
 
so is the general consensus that spending vast amounts of money guarantees success?

And does buying success guarantee it more than world class management / coaching / development etc...
