Would prefer him as our number 1 ! But his bridges were burnt last summer
Did see a few rumours of Neuer going to Madrid but nothing from any reputable site
Liverpool - It's not looking too bad in the transfer market

That`s why you post on here like me and Wenger is manager of Arsenal football club whose PL record is only 2nd to sir Alex , if my post are laughable then at least people have a laugh , yours are not even worth reading as they show a lack of understand of the subject matter , the the older you get the wiser you get , does this apply to you ?

says you the liverpool groundsmen who is in charge of moving goal post , is there anything you not done or been , expert on everything it seems , you more of an expert on what the farmer spreads in his field to promote growth

I would suggest you have a read back through the thread
A few people have asked you some questions in regards some of the statements you have made
The Liverpool were struggling before Suarez came back was the real star of the bunch

I am not going to debate with you tonight as you moved the goal post to suit , as for the others and what they say or think , they are only important if i choose to make them so ...................and what do you think .................EYG
A recurring theme!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't think Liverpool's signings are ideal for now. The youngsters are young and without any PL experience. Undoubtedly good players but still learning their trade. Give it a couple of seasons and they will flourish but I can't see how they will score enough goals without Suarez
I think mignolet will come good. Retina made some rickets in his day too. Although he was a great counter attacking keeper.
cant see the neur deal happening. Bayern are just to big a pull. I know Kroos left but his wasn't a bayed boy. Can't see the German icon leaving for Spain. Big I could be wrong of course.

Me too although as I've said money talks and so if the price is right he could end up in Spain. All said and done I doubt it though

Neuer also isn't a Bayern boy - born in Gelsenkirkcen and then playing for his home club Schalke through every age group then bought by Munich - easily a deal that could happen.
Reina is clearly a better GK all round - maybe just below Mignolet in shot stopping abilities but streets ahead in every other aspect - Reina is one of our best Evers and that's not a title easily given out

In Essence yes.
For example if you look at Chelsea's signings compared to ours they've definitely bought better players.
Chelsea's squad this time last year was still full of quality Schurrle,Hazard,Willian etc when our squad
was lacking those type of players. Since then they've gone onto improve again with Costa,Fabregas,Felipe and of course recall Victor Moses!!
Our squad has been improved numbers wise but its still well behind Chelsea's,City's and possibly Arsenals.
With the exception of Markovic and possibly Lovren i'm not too impressed.
Mignolet needs a proper keeper to challenge him for his position as he imo is the weak link.
If all of our new signings turn out to be great players then i'll admit i was wrong.
All of this is only my opinion.

And that Chelsea squad full of quality struggled
Bar is building a squad as opposed to going down the Spurs method - when you look at the players Spurs bought you would,think they bought lots of quality but they were trying to buy a squad
BR is building - buying youngsters to mould - Can , Markovic , The two Spanish lads
Buying players that have proven themselves in the premiership and strengthen areas - Lovren and Lallana and also added a back up in Lambert
It's filling and moulding the squad - they aren't "names" but they certainly bring quality - some won't flourish for a few years. The gaps we had last year are being filled and I have no doubt BR is still looking for more.
City and Chelsea's squad are always going to be superior in names to ours - they can afford it - but you need to get them plays tigether and working , that's what BR does very well - gets his players playing together.
Our squad is improving - BR is picking the players he wants in the team. And the window is still open
I'm happy with the players bought so far - all BR type players and think again we will have a good season.

Finishing 7 or 8 points off top spot is hardly struggling Phil.
Had they had a proper goalscorer it may have been different.
Liverpool had a crazy season last season and a lot a luck with injuries. Waiting another couple of seasons for players to flourish might be too long.
Cast your mind back to finishing 2nd in '02 and '09 we never kicked on from it and it looks exactly the same now.
I really do hope i'm wrong though.

For a team that spent as much money as they have - they struggled , they didn't have a proper goalscorer and believe they still haven't.
Things arrived a little early for BR last season and i just hope some hasn't raised their expectations too highly and realise it's still a building game at the moment. We aren't title challenges yet and we still need to develop as a squad so yes it will take a bit of time.
Haven't 02 and 09 we didn't build the squad with the right players - BR is buying the right players I believe to continue building that squad - those youngsters are just going to keep,getting better. Sterling is going to explode into a world class player very soon.
Thankfully I think our owners are patient and have bought into the long game - normal we ( the fans ) are very accepting of allowing managers to develop alongside as we see signs of someone putting the club first - believe we will continue to allow BR the time to gel the team

Drogba?? :rofl:
Re expectations,i'd just like to see us sign a couple of proven, experienced quality to help these young players develop. We can't keep relying on young kids. Why we still have not signed a striker 11 days before the season starts is beyond me.
If we don't do the above then my expectations are to finish 4th.
Whats the net spend up to now? £15m max?

id take forth right now, cement champions league year after year then kick on. Needed in that would have to be a good cup run to keep the feel good factor going. In a couple of years capacity upto 58,000. Then we are really back.
Oops we're not talking about arsenal are we... But Really that must be the aim, anything above, like last year is a bonus.

Window not shut - we were about to sign a proven goalscorer but you didn't like him and he had medical issues.
We have signed Lovren - proven quality , Lallana is proven - we have proven quality already in the squad - to help develop the youngsters. We are buying players like Lambert to stop us relying on youngsters but also allowing them to develop.
Do you just want us to sign some names like City etc - that's not going to happen - the owners have already outlined the players we will buy and these big marque signings won't really happen with them.

It would be nice though, to sign someone you've actually heard of. England players excluded of course.
And as for lallana, I'm not so sure a 26yo with 1 decent season in the prem is actually proven.
Cant wait for it all to kick off, Roll on next weekend.

Remy FAILED his medical nearly 2 weeks ago, why haven't we signed the next one on the list?
But its alright for those same owners to charge US the paying fan Marquee ticket prices?

So people like JCW are saying that we are making bad signings, this is how I see them. Take it apart or give your opinion.....
Lambert: proven in the PL with 13 goals and 10 assists last year. Good touch for a big man, can hold it up, bringing other players in and can really trouble defences from set pieces.
Lallana: proven In the PL with 9 goals and 8 assists last year. Fantastic on the ball and can play in a supporting role up top, outside or in a CM position.
Lovren: proved he could hack it in the PL last year, scored a couple and set one up showing that he can provide a threat from set pieces. From what I remember looks very comfortable on the ball and will help solidify the defence.
Markovic: do not know much about him apart from he is fast and good with the ball at his feet. Looks like he could be useful from what I have seen so far. 20 years old and a good prospect for the future.
Can: Big, young strong all round midfielder. Looks like the same sort of player as Gerrard/Toure, not saying as good as Toure, but that type of player. Managed to score 4 goals and set up another 4 playing from a defensive role last year, so has the ability to make an impact going forward as well as defending.
Origi: bit of an unknown quantity, but did score goals last year and looks like he could be good. Only 19 so loaning him back to Lille is good business to get him more playing time next year.
Moreno: deal going through in the next couple of days. Good quality highly thought of in Spain, only 22 so still time to get better. Should help tighten up the defence in the LB role, but is fast and good on e ball and can provide an outlet to the midfield.
Manquillo: another deal going through in the next couple of days. Only 20 so very young still, but is another exciting young prospect that hopefully shows why people see him as the next Spanish RB.
So that is how I see the transfers. 3 proven PL players and 5 young prospects. You can't replace Suarez, but you can reshape the team to compensate for it. Rogers knows that the club does not have the riches of City and Chelsea, so is trying to get some good young players in to build for the future. He has said all along that is his aim.
Lambert: proven in the PL with 13 goals and 10 assists last year. Good touch for a big man, can hold it up, bringing other players in and can really trouble defences from set pieces.
Lallana: proven In the PL with 9 goals and 8 assists last year. Fantastic on the ball and can play in a supporting role up top, outside or in a CM position.
