last year they heavily underperformed as 5th place finish isnt their level overall but to get from 5th to where they are now with the transfers they had is a fucking joke.
would kind of understand they had got Bellingham, but Fabinho, Henderson (lot of experience) out, and Endo, Szoboszlai, Mcallister in, who are good players, but not world beaters, if anything Gvardiol was a bigger name at Leipzig than Szoboslai, Mcallister is unfortunately turned out crucial for them and his PL experience is useful too.
still its not a transfer window that should turn them into Champions from 5th alongside other 1-2 trophies on top.
of course it needs others being complete shit that finished above them last time like rags and Newcastle.
if it cannot be City I would have Arteta winning it instead of them, can explain it better that last year they were consistent for a long period and the pressure got to them, now signed Rice for record fee, also Timber, Havertz, kind of makes more sense how they become title winners from last season based on that.
that if I put aside the general scouser hate.
of course best would be to put both of these into their place and make them watch us lift 4th PL trophy in a row and send farewell message to Klopp.
its just that 2012-2013 season where we fucked up transfer window(we were looking at RVP, De Rossi, got Sinclair and Rodwell ffs) so bad allowing Ferguson to win his last title and leave on a high makes me angry, hope we dont do that again to Klopp. and again we messed up the transfers, especially given the loss of Mahrez, Gundo, we should have give brought much bigger names as planned (Bellingham) rather than Nunes or Kovacic.
our biggest transfer was Gvardiol which took a lot of time to bring him in, but not sure he actually makes our best 11 when fit.
