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

[Kenshin]

how much did they buy VVD for? Or Allison

How much did they sell counthino for?

I agree, signing top players now will make a huge difference. But this is the club that followed winning a European cup by signing a 16 year old.

They are throwing their chance away and we can all laugh in the future.

if they add 1/2 top class players this window they could dominate for the next decade

And if we add 11 top class players, so could we

if they add 1/2 top class players this window they could dominate for the next decade

Many teams have done that over the past 20 years and absolutely none of them have consistently dominated for a decade. Can you please tell me why Liverpool are different?

To dominate for a decade they'll need to replace the aging VVD, Salah, Firminho, Mane and quite a few VAR moderators - not happening.

Man Utd did

So Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City didn’t win multiple trophies each in that time period then?

Taken from The Guardian's fan previews article. How sickening are their fans? Like honestly make your stomach churn that they even think like they do lol

Liverpool
Our first game is the derby, which I think we’ll win and be on our way. I’m confident we can take up where we left off, perhaps not with the same intensity at first, but I can’t see us not winning most of our games. Six points and we’re champions. It’s been a while.

Is it right to restart? Yes. This season needs to finish before we can start to think what’ll happen for the next. Behind closed doors isn’t great but at this stage there’s no other way. Who knows when crowds will be able to gather again, and we’ve already had to play a game – against Atlético Madrid back in March – that we shouldn’t. It looks like it had dire consequences.

What I missed most … Seeing Liverpool win the league. Celebrating Liverpool winning the league. Seeing mates. I’ve been asked a few times if I think this title will be tarnished because of the situation? Tarnished? Madness.

What I missed least … Travelling at crazy times for crazy kick-offs to suit TV. Oh, and the rubbish you hear (see above).

Has the club had a good lockdown? Klopp and the players have done a fair bit of community work and online connection with fans. The club took some stick when they announced they were going to furlough staff, and days later they backtracked. But they did backtrack. Anyone can make mistakes. The reversal came thanks in a large part to pressure from Spirit of Shankly and the club’s willingness to engage with the supporters’ union. The club also worked with SOS to lobby for games to be played at Anfield, not neutral venues. We’ve got an ace squad and the best manager. And pretty soon we’ll have number 19.

Predictions … Top four: 1 Liverpool; 2 Man City; 3. Leicester; 4 Chelsea. Going down: 18 Watford; 19 Aston Villa; 20 Norwich.

YMCA Steph! You sure got the script in the post.

They only bought them once Coutinho had gone. They never buy unless someone gets sold. They are the most unambitious owners that they could have Their fans laugh at Moshiri but at least he's actually invested his own money into Everton and isn't happy about us being a mid table club.

Their owners will never develop the stadium fully and only want the academy improved because they will expect the majority of future players to come from there so they dont have to pay out transfers. So I will never worry about them having a decade or so of dominance.

Good news for us as they would just be unbearable. I think I'd have to emigrate to outer Mongolia to avoid them.

If they ever got taken over by someone with a bit of money and a long term vision I'd worry though.

I love the way she took the time to relegate Watford too, peak pettiness that. Assume this is the start of their latest rivalry.

They are one of the oldest squads in the league. They are a million miles away from that. They will be where Spurs are in 3 years, and that's with the assumption FSG can keep throwing money at them.

That's really weird. Fitting for them really

am I missing something, all I can see is a professional footballer trapping a football (and not trapping it cleanly either).

they will sell Mane for 120m and reinvest it on a world class striker like Mbappe

Who's got that kind of money right now you maniac?
