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

If Rodgers manages to get those 8-9 (or more!) new players to gel this year then he is a much better manager then I give him credit for.

Anyone know the odds for Liverpool to finish outside the top 4?:whistle:

Dont think geling is the issue, they absolutely spanked Dortmund playing some fluid football - If they don't finish top 4 rodgers' job will be on the line.

It was only a kickabout , do it in the CL then we talking , at least when Arsenal spank city we were playing for a trophy

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.

Sturridge , Coutinho , Suarez and Sterling werent world class when we signed them - don't need to sign name players

We aren't doing nothing like what Spurs did when Bale left

Yes I believe the £16mil we paid for Henderson is turning into a bargain and what is this Liverpool hype you mention ?

One minutes you say they are good players we have signed then you call them mediocre ?!

why oh why do you get into arguments with these people. It is obvious that they judge players by how good the are on Champ Manager and FIFA. They never look at stats regarding players and do not understand the type of criteria that go into judging a players value. They are probably the same people that wondered why Liverpool are buying Suarez, Sturridge and Couthino because they are seen as top quality players, but most PL teams have lied to have had them in their team last year.

I agree that Henderson was a bargain.
But Sturridge,Sterling & Coutunho still aren't world class. Sterling & Coutinho have potential but I'd hardly call them world class at the minute.
As for Sturridge,he's a good player but that's about as good as he'll get IMO.

I agree, I think Stirling has the ability shown so far to become world class but doesn't need to be burned out too quickly and needs to be protected from being played too much, being so young, time will tell but he is a great prospect. Sturridge is OK, as he was at the bridge, he needs quality around him IMO, he can't produce or change anything too much on his own, IMO, not world class now or in the future for me. And to be honest, I would say that if they had my shirts on now not red, just to be clear :smirk:
 
Just to be clear - I wasn't calling them world class - was just showing that you don't need to sign "name" ( the players people lazily call world class ) players to get a good team

World Class is a phrase that has been diluted over the years

Sterling has the potential to be a high quality player and be a real star of the game

Coutinho is a bit further into his development and is starting to show signs that he will he one of the top players in the Prem

Sturridge is a top class goalscorer -

World Class IMO should be for the people that make a World 11 - Suarez is World class for example where as Rooney isn't , that's my way to distinguish between World Class and the top Quality

So on that basis only one goal keeper can be called world class at any one moment:confused:
Personally I think Chelsea have 2 world class Keepers at the minute.

I agree with Phil that everyone can't be called world class, I think that is a phrase that should be kept for a select few. I always think if you where going. To pick 2 world 11's to ya each other, would they be on your team sheet, if not then they aren't world class.

But Ronaldo,Messi,Bale,Suarez,Hazard,Neymar,Ibrahimavic,Falcou,Robben,Iniesta..... Are all world class surely?

IMO for attacking players. Messi and Ronaldo are the benchmark. They're so clearly ahead of the others that we either need a new catergory or the others yiu mentioned simply aren't wc
