Liverpool Thread

Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

With the current Arsenal form and the how their squad looks now that their best two players left, unless Suarez has an injured plagued season, I dont see how we can not return to CL.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

yeah but i would not predict this atm.. the league will be though again this season.. even if City and United look miles ahead of others after the first games..
 
Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

You'll easily get into the CL, and might even challenge for top spot with City imo. The reason? At most your squad needs to deal with 45 matches (assuming a full FA Cup run).

United, Chelsea, Arsenal etc all will be closer to 60. And that will tell, especially towards the end of the season.

In much the same way as you were able to win the CL by focussing only on that, you have a massive advantage in only having the league to worry about.

What will be more instructive, for me, will be how Kenny does with his expensive squad when in Europe. Then it will be fair to compare. Because make no mistake - Liverpool are the third highest spenders in the league in the last 5 years even before Coates/ Zarate arrivals.

do you mean net spend? becouse as far as i know, it was 13 m. pounds a year with Benitez..
 
Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

Im about to buy this from the official site for 20 pounds.
Does anyone know how the sizes are managed. Im Eur XXL, US XXL, Mex 44. But according to the page 44 would be XL. If someone knows the difference, would be excellent.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

looks good, but i warn you..sometimes the material is very very thin.. not sure about the sizes
 
Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

Thanks.
Yeah, I dont know what im going to do because Im not sure which size I am and, although to buy something similar here in Argentina would cost much more than 28 pounds, it is still a considerable sum to buy the wrong size.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

also i´m not sure but i think the 20% off sale was just this weekend :/
 
Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

Zarate has very bad attitude. That's why I'm personally not a fan despite obvious talent.

For me, he's a troublemaker.

Completely agree. To buy him would be mistake...unless Dalglish or his staff are man management wizards.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

Rumour in L' Equipe: Poulsen to Thonon-Evian (newly promoted Ligue 1 team)
 
Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

Poulsen, Cole, Degen and Ngog - all will be sold or loaned in Cole case..

for Ngog - Bolton and Blackbrun migh have a biding war, wich is unbeliveable imho, if we manage to get 4 m. for him, i will be happy.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

Good start for lfc, similar to ourselves, new signings playing well getting goals...

know im preaching to the converted but suarez is the bollocks, in the past (okay on evo) was doubtful about his pace but kenny got him looking sharp!

but what im here for is, im thinking...

An lfc, city, utd title push, what a season, especially for us mancs and scousers...

from what ive seen lfc look good, but has king kenny (grrrr) got the kopites ready for a record 20th league title??

Why is that unbelievable. He's a decent forward.


Vann, Man City will win your 20th title (and that "your" goes for both Liverpool and United).
 
Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

Luis Suarez
I want to welcome Coates, partner in the uruguayan team, friend and great player who just signed for Liverpool! WELCOME!

Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

Surely Lille can do better than Joe Cole for god's sake...

Vann, i wouldn't mind man City winning the title because so many people seem to hate them...that's enough for me to like them...and besides that: Kompany...Belgium...
Lastly: Silva, Aguero, Touré, Dzeko, Nasri: plenty of magnificent players. But to be perfectly honest i also admire what Ferguson does with United, building great teams generation after generation...and that from somebody who really does not like Ferguson (got nothing against Man Utd however, but you guys never believe that). And all this in a Liverpool thread...
 
Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

people don´t hate city...but building for succes and buying succes is two different things.. money could buy you anything, but i still belive it can´t.. maybe i´m naive but you can´t buy history..

United have it, LFC have it, other big teams have it.. but the new kind of teams are just discousting in this way... the kids don´t mind i´m sure, but the people in england will not accept this for long...there football is mainly tradition and family.. not an oportunity for rich abroad visitors to spend their money..
 
Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

People don't like the model City and Chelsea are using. The 'buy everyone before anyone else gets them' model. Look at the players they have, they've got multiple good/potentially great players at most positions, so much so that some good signings are just on the bench a lot of the time.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

Wow, what a great news day. Coates signs, Cole (hopefully) off to Lille and Poulson (hopefully) off to Naive! And a couple of clubs rumoured to want Ngog for hopefully a bidding war of 4mil +.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

Chelsea and City are two traditional clubs, not as big as Liverpool and Man Utd, but they are big clubs. I know there is a difference, but there are similarities with what Henry is doing with Liverpool...If Abramovich or the Sheiks would have invested in your favourite team (and i'm not targeting anyone specific), you would be over the moon...so the adversity towards Chelsea and City is a litle bit hyprocritical (not correct English i think).

I have more problems with Anji and Grozny in Russia...their owners are criminals. I've always loved Eto'o, but i do not agree with what he's done now (and frankly, i don't have any problems with his absurd high wages...that is not the problem).
 
Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

Most people don't realize that Chelsea and City actually had fans before these billionaires bought them. They have history, just not a successful one. I don't accept this but it is the only way they can have a chance at winning things and yeah it is not like Liverpool and United don't have foreigners spending millions on new signing.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

The annoyance with both Chelsea and especially City is that they are being rewarded for.......well f$%k all really. Chelsea less so as it was CL qualification that sealed them being bought instead of Liverpool, so they had some succes and were rewarded for it (even if it was out of proportion to their succes).

A lot of the hate for Chelsea was that they also became a horribly cynical team with Mourinho leading the cheating. They spent 250mil in two seasons and still they needed to dive and whinge (and even if they didn't they would still do it). Who can appreciate that?

As for City, who knows why they were bought? Because they are next to Utd? Atm I don't have a lot of problems with City, but that's mostly because they haven't yet achieved anything and I expect them to be hampered by the FFP rules. If they go currupt and use any means possible to continue to spend like madmen (cough stadium deal cough) I will really "hate" them. The fact they alse played some of the most boring football the last two seasons doesn't help them either.

There has to be a balance, both Chelsea and City are like 100m sprinters who are injecting themselves during the race. That's how blatant their financial doping is. Utd can spend huge amounts because they were smart and marketed themselves well whilst being succesfull. Liverpool less so, but they had a succesfull history and fanbase to lean on. And even then, neither clubs go way beyond their financial limits. They can spend that amount because they have earned it.
