ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

Nunez just seems like an absolutely massive panic buy from them. He's had one good season in what is essentially a tinpot league. The RS midfield now consists of past-it carthorses (Henderson), injury-prone sloths (Thiago) and OAPs (Milner) along with a few teenage lads. They haven't got anyone in there who is in their prime or about to enter it. I see City winning the league at a canter again, while the RS will be looking over their shoulders at Spurs and Chelsea. We saw last season that other big teams have sussed them out and know how to play against them.
 
They WERE the only club who could match you with wages and fees and it seems that has caught them up considering there lack of transfer activity thus far. A club that only spends what it earns cannot compete financially with City and there work arounds, fact.

It will be interesting to watch Chelsea’s spending considering they have new owner buz.

it will be very interesting to see Newcastles in a year or two also. Them and PSG may be able to compete with City, they all appear to have something in common.
To be fair, I admire that city and Chelsea have been honest about where their money comes from.

What I really dislike is clubs like liverpool and man utd that claim they earned their money "the right way" when in actual fact they "earned" their money by forcing uefa to change the champions league rules so that 4 teams from England get their snouts in the expanded trough while league champions from Greece, Scotland, Belgium, Sweden etc are frozen out, and turning the area around their stadium into a ghetto so they can expand their stadium on the cheap to accommodate even more tourists, and also reporting transfer fees in as much lower and transfer fees out as much higher so that their deluded fans can run around shouting Net spend, Net spend, Net spend as if anyone actually cares.

I sinned last year, but it was for the greater good... my daughter is a red regrettably. She had major surgery last summer and missed the whole of summer term. I took her to anfield for a stadium tour as something to do once she was a bit better to ease the boredom.

Anyway, apart from it being quite funny that Liverpool 'fans' couldn't answer any of the questions thrown at them by the guide we eventually get to the point were he discusses the new stadium. At this point he starts telling the masses of the great work Liverpool did working with the council rehousing the local community and regenerating the area. I felt obliged to say, 'is that them compulsory purchases orders yeah?' He already knew I was a blue, so he just gave me a bit of a look and then was back on form telling the idiots to spend £20 for a photo of themselves with the champions league trophy... it's disgusting they rewrite history to their own fans and that local Liverpool fans just nod along with the tourists there. Just avoid the subject, don't make it out to be something that it most definitely wasn't. I'd previously got on with him a fair bit, but that was the end of that safe to say.

City are cycling off next season while the RS are still on :p
 
Just seen on Facebook, the following post:

'Sir Alex Ferguson had Scholes, still tried to buy Gerrard (No idea if this is even true, I have major doubts).
Mourinho had Lampard, still tried to buy Gerrard.
Liverpool had Gerrard, still they never went near Scholes and Lampard.'

The lack of logical thinking that some of them possess is staggering.

Although, one comment made me proper laugh:

'Imagine if Utd had bought Gerrard. Giggs on the left, Beckham on the right with Keane and Scholes in the middle, what a midfield.'

Gerrard was a good midfielder in his day, but simply not fit to lace either Lampard or Scholes' boots. The Gerrard and Lampard/Scholes comparison is so utterly ridiculous in the first place that it would only be ever made in England

I wish we had all those rubbish players and finished 2nd in the league and CL and won both domestic cups. Sigh!
 
I'm struggling to see more than 10 of 28 signings there by Herr Doktor that were worth the fee (Nunez and Carvlho yet to play for them)

He's wasted a lot of money at that klub.

Too true, but look at the exorbitant fees that they manage to get for their dross, such as Brewster and Solanke.

Lot's of buying clubs pay way over the odds for their cast offs.

That is complete testicles. https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2021/10/19/15/49370079-0-image-a-2_1634655221549.jpg

The only difference is that our owners put back everything into the club. FSG, Glazers, and the Yanks that own Spurs can all outspend us. Instead they pay huge dividends out to their owners. Fans of those clubs swallow the complete nonsense that they can't compete, hook line and sinker. Instead of blaming our owners for ruining football. You should look to the club you support and the greedy love children who own them.

If Diaz and Nunez aren’t world class then he’s in trouble. His entire game is now based around individual brilliance of forwards, set pieces, and the opposition missing simple chances against them regularly. If either of these three things fail back then they fall off the PL CL winning level and there’ll be open revolt. He better hope Nunez bangs in 25 plus in his first season as no one in that midfield is scoring.
