Don't get me wrong, I'm excited at the prospect of CL football again and think that we have a very good chance of progressing out of that group. Now look at our bench on Sunday. Is it strong enough for a sustained challenge on more than one front?
Or perhaps there have been bids that we ( the insignificant fans ) are not aware of ? But I take your point . And yes , we kept hold of Morgan for 1 year longer than he wanted. He knuckled down , did his job and then left .
How much money did you lose on that deal? Also... did you finish lower in table that year? Finally... im sure lfc is a leaky seive for news. If we were even talking to you on it lfc fans would hear about it. We have not bid and imo that put your itk.. well nitk.
With respect, we scared you off from making a bid when Jurgen and Virgil's illicit liason in Blackpool was rumbled....
That's the perception that we are trying to change, this is the first season that we have been debt free and now have more financial muscle with the Chinese investment.
That squad was nowhere near strong enough when stretched last season, I don't see how you can add CL footie without it being stretched further still. Especially given the way Klopp has you playing in terms of ground covered, pressing etc. You're short of bodies imo.
To be fair, I think we're doing the same with Couthino....either that or both clubs are just driving the price up. Ultimately, there is a pecking order that teams move up slowly (and down quickly)....the recent Tv money has changed the clubs ambitions but the players still want to play for the bigger, more famous teams.
nothing to argue with there in fact you could just as easily be talking about us & Couts. For both clubs though the worry has to be an expensive asset has a serious hump with the club & the effect that may have.
Then they shouldn't accept long term contract extensions with substantial wage increases then, that's just having your cake and eating it.....
I agree totally, but it makes no sense for us to sell him in this window, we just don't gain anything.
i think most of us thought , even before the Ford stuff , that we needed as a minimum LB , CB ,CM & wide forward. we have at best 2 of them but right now 1 less CM/AM / F in couts
that is now the case for both of us unless someone offers silly money - though i'm no longer sure of what constitutes "silly" where modern football is concerned .
