I keep saying it and I'm sticking to my belief that if we don't sign top level stars then we'll end up average. Too much penny pinching, or embarrassment almost to really go for it in the transfer market.
We are one of the top 5 richest clubs in the world, with revenue and fantastic commercial deals negotiated by Soriano and co. Regular CL income every season. Yet we seem to refuse to sign players of the caliber to match prime Yaya, prime Fern and Kun and Vinny. Players of KDB's level.
We need to be going for the likes of Sancho and Haaland to provide the next world class core of the first team for the next 5 or even 10 years.
Mahrez, Cancelo, Rodri, etc they're all Spurs/Everton level signings.
Why do we not reach for the real stars? It must be obvious we need players as good as Vinny and Kun and David Silva, not fill the squad with average joes. Just fucking spend on the best or we will endure years of scouse trophies and no CL which I thought is the trophy the board want most? Rodri and Gundog and co won't win us that. It feels like we have no confidence or self-belief to really go out and buy the best. What was the point of winning the CAS appeal if we don't enjoy the fruits of that victory?
Need some real ambition in the market, and fuck ffp, we took uefa to court once, they won't do anything now. Hasn't stopped chelsea or psg why should we be meek and suffer decline because we're hamstrung by a corrupt, rag loving cartel?
