I felt compelled to look at the Moreno and Mantequilla comments as the excitement about them was based on almost nothing!

So we finally got the LB we need, for me he is the perfect signing - Young, fit's our style of play, and the current figures being quoted seem like it's an absolute steal too.

The DR says
Nice, excellent news im pleased we've got him (Moreno)!

johnsonsbaby
An exciting signing (Moreno).

Redbrynner
Cracking. Glad we have done this business.

CCC
I really hope this is true and not just an agreement 'in principle' which leads nowhere. Moreno is my first choice LB.

Skylarker
Our 2 new singings bring so much to the list. Our FB situation is good, good players, plenty of depth, something we've missed for a good few years.

CCC
Manquillo looked fantastic in his last game. You should never judge from one game, I know, but it was the most assured RB performance I've seen in a long, long time.

Skylarker
Personally I hope it ends up with both our new signings as our first choice FB's.

There's much more that's easily found just by doing a quick search on their names in thread titles! I may have a look at Can, Moreno and Mantequilla later!

I still stand by my comments in each quotation.

Apart from theLambert false forward. He does not have the stamina.

Of course you're weaker! You've lost your two top scorers from last season! From an attacking perspective you're effectively starting from scratch although I'm sure it will all magically click into place from day one!

We're in total crisis mate. Do people even realise that out of our seven signings plus Origi coming back from loan that's EIGHT players and not ONE of them scored a SINGLE goal for us last season?

Add in Gerrard and Sterling that makes TEN players i.e. an ENTIRE outfield team that either didn't score for us last season or can't score for us next season.

I know you've always struggled with irony Astro. Dig a bit deeper and you'll find that my more serious assessment of him was that I'd never heard of him. In fact as you got up at 4am to watch United's first pre-season friendly you've seen him play at least one more time than I have!

Everyone in their right mind knows we're not weaker than last year. Sterling is good but not 49mil good. Gerrard left at the right time imo. Most of his goals were penalties that I'm sure someone else would be able to score this season. Sterling got 7 goals - not hard to replace those 7 goals either.

If you do a comparison on those 2 players alone.

Sterling gone, Firmino in.
Gerrard gone, Milner in.

Not to mention Johnson gone, so we no longer have to play with 10 men or with Can in an unnatural position.

The future is very bright.

I'm sure you've been digging very deep to provide a fair assessment of LFC and their fans <ok>

Shteve you need to try harder because all the comments you're posting so far seem perfectly reasonable and you're just embarrassing yourself

Indeed none of them demonstrate that there was excitement at signing what turned out to be a load of duds!

Fans should always be excited. That's what not being [HASHTAG]#plastic[/HASHTAG] is about.

Plastics get the most excited as they understand the least. I don't think you're a plastic though Astro. Clearly you were when you jumped on the bandwagon but to your credit you've stuck with it. Eternal optimism and delusion that has been beaten black and blue by reality has made you what you are.

So basically you are reading back on certain dates. Did I love any of our signings then?

The quotes came from the "<insert name> Signs" thread as they were the most relevant and easy to find. The suggestion that no one was excited by the transfers in of the various players is quite frankly ludicrous!

I doubt you were one to go over the top as your standard status is miserable!
