Liverpool thread 2020/21

[bluealf]

I accept that it might be poor choice of wording on my part. Maybe "bargain bin" is not the right phrase. For that I apologize. All I meant to say is that Liverpool aren't a club to spend 100m+ on a Haaland, Havertz or Mbappe, etc. Compared to their closest European competitors, including us, they can't compete in terms of spending.

In any case, my original main point was they are where they are now because of Klopp, not because of shrewd/wise investments. That's my point. I'm not arguing they have made wonderful signings for well below the cost, in fact, they have mostly pretty average signings.

It certainly was not.

I had no problem with the rest of your post. :)

Most of those players were bought from the Torres money. Salaries paid for from the Benteke money.

Whilst researching this post it has amazed me how much they have raised from absolute rubbish

I did LOL... they paid £75m for a defender and even paid £50m for a carthorse when they bought Carroll

Carroll was "only" £35m, I think.

The legend that is Aldo complaining on twitter about the referee blowing his whistle 5 seconds early. It's a conspiracy I tell thee !!!

He has a point, for a change. Mane through on goal and he blows before the ’minimum’ added time?

Looked to me that they didn’t want Liverpool scoring, for whatever reason.

Still does my head in how they sold Brewster for 28m.

We aren't top of the league yet and while they are still in the title race, they are still our main challengers. Things can change quite quickly with the way this season is going.

I have noticed that I'm far less interested in Liverpool recently, now that our form has picked up. I suppose it's part of human nature but there's always extra when it comes to City from the entitled clubs' fans and of course the UK sports media. I imagine if Liverpool continue to struggle and start dropping even more points, the anti-City topics will start to ramp up again. Especially if United start to fall away. It's all so predictable.

They’ll be screaming null and void if and when we start to pull away

You do wonder what underhand deals have been done, getting shite like Bournemouth to spend top money on players and then to have these players also flop is unbelievable.
