Liverpool

They're pretty much doing exactly what Spurs did. They'd have been much better off blowing it all on one top player than squad filler.

It's easy saying they should just splash the cash on one world class player there are no players worth that much that Liverpool can realistically sign..

 

[Behrox]

Actually I feel Pool has done better in the window than Spurs did with the Bale money because for 1 its the start of the window not the end like for Spurs and 2 they have gone after players that fit the system and providing strength to their weaknesses unlink fast buying spree from the Spurs

wee haven't even got to the suarez money yet though. we went into the window with 60m to spend + sales.

we've spent 40m so far and if u add markovic its 60m.

there's still (possibly) lovren (20m) and origi (10m) that would be 30m our of 75-80m. that's not including other sales.

i don't think there's any similarity to spurs. spurs just dished out on fairly big names without the manager even knowing. every name we're linked with makes sense interms of our style

 

[AnfieldEd]

Am I seeing this wrong or are Liverpool already spending the Suarez cash on so many new players it can only be seen as a world war style rearmaments program?

Yes you are seeing it wrong.

Our budget this summer was around £50M. Lallana £17.5m (not inc. add ons), Can £10m, Lambert £4m makes that to £31.5m with £9m going on Origi that takes it to £40m.

So I'd suggest the Suarez money will be spent on Lovren, a new LB and Markovic. Possibly another addition too.

From 'This Is Anfield' comment section: 'Is anyone taking bets on us getting Barca in our CL group?'

And the answer: 'If we get them we will murder them'

I thought I'd share, a good laugh

Di Maria?

yes please. but seeing how we've stacked up on every versatile winger around we properly won't.

muriel was talked about as the possible suarez replacement last season but when i've seen him this season he's looked normal.

Tbf Liverpool is not an easy opponent. There is a good chance that they could hurt us badly.

Everyone is capable of beating us but they'd do it with 1 goal difference at best. Only Bayern was capable of hurting us badly. We did pretty well against big sides like RM and City, even with Tata's poor tactical knowledge.

not saying liverpool can smash everyone but with our long absence i'd rather have group of death. do it big.

Ex Liverpool star Luis Garcia joins Indian club Atlético de Kolkata

thought he was hanging up his boots. must be good money

 

[KingMessi]

Playing in the Indian Super League? WTF. That's a mickey mouse league with only 8 teams.

 

[DonAK]

Heard they're quite crazy about football in that side of India.

At least the I-League has decent competition. The Super League is a shit idea.

Liverpool doing a 'Spurs' and spreading the Suarez cash a little too thin? Trying to replace in numbers instead of top quality. Still saying that how can you replace Suarez? Athletico seem to find a way but they're prob the exception rather than the norm.

Liverpool are much smarter than Spurs. They're making proper 'depth' signings that they desperately need. Once you add in all those midweek European matches with all that travel involved, their already thin squad will have an uphill battle to stay in the top 4. Especially now with United getting an experienced manager and finally signing a midfielder. They won't immediately be able to replace Suarez, but they can shore up their defence and midfield. When the time comes and a truly world class striker is available (like the summer Higuain, Cavani, Falcao etc were for sale), they can do it then.
