Can we win the league in the near future?

[Brennan]

You do know Rodgers has spent just on 100m in two seasons

To put that into perspective Everton have spent 160m in 10 years

Aspas - £7m
Sakho - £18m
Tiago Ilori - £7m
Luis Alberto - £6.8m
Mignolet - £10m

Only one of those signings has had a meaningful impact.

if we finish 4th season, we can win it next season......the standard in the premier league is terrible...united won it last year because of van persie....liverpool will win it this year because if Suarez....
if we get champions league, and sign a top striker in the summer, we would have as good a chance as anyone.....

just remember in January, we were neck & neck with Liverpool....then lukaku got injured and it cost us against Liverpool, spurs & Chelsea....had lukaku (or another good striker) been able to play in those games, we'd probably have taken 6 points instead of zero, and be in a fantastic spot right now.....

plus we started the first 3 games (against poor teams) slowly as the players were still adapting to Martinez style of football.....

what's the competition? Chelsea, their manager is afraid his team can't handle pressure, and judging by the weekend they cant........City?, no character, they rely on moments of individual brilliance rather than being a great team....Liverpool?, we dominated them at goodison.....United?, they have to rebuild big time, and without champs league football that will be harder than they think....

*sigh*..... i really really want this lad, i do. It sounds oh so simple and i want to believe it.

but honestly, lm laughing my arse off right now.

Ok add up the cost of there current squad

Money talks you only have to look at the teams who have won it in the past

 

[N.S.N.O.]

No way on earth can we win the league next season

i would have bet my life last summer that Liverpool couldn't win the league this season....now sadly, it looks like its gonna happen....

Dortmund almost won the Champions League having spent about ten quid.

Liverpool's most influential player over the course of the whole season only cost them £12m.

I'm not buying that the finances are as big of a gulf as people make out. We've gotten to 5th in the league with a net spend of zero.

We don't have the spending power they or any other top side has. Manchester United could finish out the top 4 and still spend over triple what we can spend

Suarez cost 22m

Suarez cost 22m

And they were still near the top of the table without him after six games.

I said over the course of the whole season minge. At least read what you're quoting.

talksport were laughing at martinez' press conference when Bill mentioned his champions league target......i assume there not laughing too much now.....

I'm not saying we will win it, but i no longer think its impossible after what Liverpool have done.....the very top players have chosen the Spanish league over the Premier league in the last few seasons, so the top teams are no longer untouchable....next season arsenal & United will still be there for the taking....and Chelsea & City can't seem to get their act together....

You do know Suarez has made more league app, Has more goals and more assists

Anything else

 

[Brennan]

Martinez would cringe reading this thread like, it's exactly the kind of mentality he hates.

Everybody laughed at him when Champions League was talked about at the start of the season, and now despite a massive negative net spend we're knocking on the door. I'm not saying we will win the league or even challenge for it but i'm so bored of this whole 'money' argument. He's spoken from day one about finding ways to succeed without a big bank balance and so far it's working.

And Sturridge was absolutely crucial to the start of their season, without him they'd have been nowhere. That's why he's been more important of the course of the entire campaign.
