    Thats the risk you have to take to try improve the squad when you can't just go fork out 30m on teenagers.

    Nope, in those circumstance's a good manager would sell 3 **** players to buy 1 good one. It's how you build a better team rather than a worse one <ok>

  3. Feel free to point out any other PL manager that managed to achieve what he did under a sell to buy policy mate.

    When he was allowed to spend, he bought players like Reina, Agger, Mascherano, Alonso and Torres. He also wanted D.Silva, Aguero, Simoa, Dani Alves, etc but the club wouldn't sanction the deals.

    But you stick to players like Voronin, Aquilani and Keane. All players that were either part of a restricted budget or bought for way more than he wanted.

    I will stick to the players that went out compared to those who came in. He weakened your team instead of strengthening it, that is a fact.

    Never played a game like that in my life mate, just a case of common sense.

  9. Selling three poor players to buy one good one sounds so simplistic doesn't it?

    Problem is, those **** players aren't wanted. They aren't worth anything.

  13. Because we severely lacked a squad and had a few injury prone players?

    He only actually sold two good players; Alonso and Arbeloa

    much like today hence playing 90% of today's match with an OAP and a DM as the two CBs and also leaving a £32.5 mill striker out completely

    Lallana mis controlling the ball to take the pen. He was never going to score from that point.

    Sorry, luv, just pissed off and feel let down that's all.

    We had 1 shot on target - the one that went in. Where the **** was Sturridge? At the other end Mignolet kept us in it, just. At the end of the day they got the silverware and we didn't. Not that I'm surprised, mind you. There's a massive question mark over the penalty takers as well.

    Of course Klopp gets our support I'm not denying that, it's just that next season the bar will be raised. These players just aren't capable of playing to his style of play. They're unfit which is why they keep getting injured. It's been a **** season overall and unfortunately it's not over yet.

    People still think we'll win the Europa League with this ****e? Come on! <doh>

    Plus both players went to Real Madrid - it's hardly as if we happily sold them to some random team to boost our coffers.

    The front 3 were ineffective - bear in mind Coutinho and Sturridge are both coming back from injury. Plus City defended very well.

    Despite the debate, I'm not concerned with the penalty takers - these same players have been used throughout the competition and have scored.

    Fergie in the first few years under the Glazers. He won three league titles and a European Cup on a transfer budget of close to zero.
