Any decent players not getting a sniff at Barcelona this year?

Haha they’re a mess like us

Be honest, if we scout out some low key gems I'd be happy this summer. Chucking cash around has not been brilliant in terms of payback so far. Actually, I'd be happy if we sign anyone this summer given the circumstances.

It’s worked for most good teams Liverpool best players have cost £30+ Million

Sidibe is only on loan and likely not being kept. Iwobi and Kean are both very young and hardly had time to show what they can really do, Lossl literally hasn't played a minute to make any sort of impression

Brands only outright bad signing so far has been Delph but even then he hardly cost much. The hate he gets for things well beyond his control is ridiculous. Not saying he's great in his role and we're going forwards but it's still far too early to be calling him a failure, he's been here less than 2 years. You simply can't go from a total mess (which we were in 2018 when he arrived) to be pushing for top 4 in that time in today's world.

I agree to a point, but in 2 years you’d expect to see obvious signs of improvement and I’m not sure we have. I’ve said it before but it’s worrying to me that people like Keane and sigurdsson - the poster boys of Walsh’s poor recruitment - are being picked by Ancelotti (who’s no mug) above people brands has spent a load of money on. Same with Kean, we’ve got areas of the team in desperate need of improvement and yet we spent £27m on him to be third choice behind 2 lads who were already here and are barely older than him. Brands hasn’t been a disaster and you’re right that he needs more time, but he sure as hell hasn’t put himself beyond criticism so far.

Yeah I’ll ask for a refund on my season ticket and stop going the aways because a man on the internet told me to

Cheers, appreciated.

I don’t think us going back to bargain basement signings is going to help either

Superb

Depends. If you can get a good player for a steal, it will. But no more buying tosh like gylfi or Bolassie for inflated fees. Iwobi cost over 30 million. By your original argument he should be boss. He's not. Smarter scouting and buying please.

I’ve not broken any rules and can see you’re trying to bait me so please leave me alone and enjoy the forum without goading me.

Thank you and goodbye

Thats right, back under your rock little boy.

Pack it in and please don’t derail the thread with your squabbling.
