I think he means the likes of a Ronaldo or a Pogba kinda superstar - €35 million is Andy Carroll money.

So the answer is obviously no.

Yea basically this but more of reus or lacazette player. Not top top drawer players yet

If Reus isn't a top, top drawer player, I don't know who is. He is a complete winger, can play all across the front line, blistering pace, scores for fun, excellent crosser, brilliant passer, world class dribbler. He can do all those things better than ANY of our forwards IMO. Certainly a top, top drawer player in my books.

We've only spent big money when we've sold our best players and Sterling.

Ground looking impressive here with the new stand taking shape

Once we get in the right players I'll be happy.

I wonder how Sturridge will like pressing the ball for 90+ minutes each game.

I'd also wonder would his body be physically up it.

It shouldn't be a problem if he's getting 150k a week.

He also did it in 13/14, although he wasn't as rabid at chasing defenders as king luis was that season.

Either way, our front men should be pressing high for most parts of every game they play. Ings has done it well this season, and I'm convinced if any of our strikers did it last season we would've been better off.

This thread is full of wonder! I wonder how I wonder why yesterday you told me about the blue blue sky.

I wonder what Pilsbury Doughboy is up to these days now?

I wonder has he gotten over his meltdown and Rodgers getting sacked yet?

MD1990 · 07-10-2015 05:21PM

Sturridge even in 13/14 didn't press much. Don't remember him tackling or recovering balls like Suarez,Sterling,Coutinho & Henderson .

Any chance you think the owners may finally go out and break the bank for a superstar player under klopp ?

The owners have not been stingey by any means, they just haven't bought the right players. I don't know which is worse tbh, I hate waste even if its not my money.

Knex* · 07-10-2015 05:35PM

Pity we'll never get to see what Sterling would do under a manger like Klopp, actually.

He'd suit his style down to the ground.

They gave Rodgers something like 90 million net over 7 windows, when ya look at what others are spending it could definitely be considered stingey.

I think you'll find that from now on, any of the signings who've been rubbish will be Rodgers players while any of the successful signings will have been made by the committee.

For me, both are culpable, but it's very easy to shift blame to the guy who's just got sacked.

Its natural the manager pays for bad results but everyone on that TC should be dismissed too or at the very least the idea should be binned.

I really hope Klopp is either more adaptable to the TC or has the power to VETO any signing. You might aswell burn the money instead of buying players the manager has no interest in. £29m and £20m for Firmino and Markovic respectively is insane money.

Sterling & Gotze could be quite similar. Both follow the money but stagnate football wise. Sterling could be out of the City 11 very soon.

Only insane if they don't work and its too soon to write either off though I agree with the general thrust of the point.

Sterling is playing the same level in City's team as he did in Liverpool's last season. Götze has won a few trophies too since his move. If you're talking about great decisions in their careers then yeah they'd be similar.

In fairness Rodgers was going to churn through players anyway with his chopping and changing of tactics. The transfer committee were signing players to fit an agreed system, Rodgers was at something else.

Klopp worked with a transfer committee at Dortmund without any issues.

Not playing the blame game, Rodgers is gone I'm looking to the new man now.

Just highlighting what an absolute monumental **** up the relationship between manager and TC so far has been.

Don't give them the attention they seek.

rob316 · 07-10-2015 06:14PM

What a moron that Matt Law is he fails to mention the fact Klopp won back to back league titles and got to a CL final.

I've noticed a few English journo's reluctant to take apart Rodgers due to some allegiance to British coaches. They absolutely tore into managers like Rafa and AVB.

Yes he is so thats why we done great to get 50m for him. No evidence so far Sterling has made a great decision football wise but time will tell. Gotze has stagnated in the last few years with Bayern though & hasn't really performed consitently for them at all. Don't think Gotze's agent would agree saying it was a great decision apart from more money

Maybe giving him too much credit, but I wonder if any of that is him trying to get his name out there by talking crap. Liverpool is a huge market, and Klopp makes it even bigger, especially on social media right now.

Like, it clearly works as now his tweets are getting re-posted.
