      Well, assuming we don't sign anyone meaningful this Jan, again.  Thats the 3 windows.  Hope they prove us all wrong though

      Ah, I had a feeling you might be counting the one that's only just opened.

      Don't think 1 player [backup CB] in 3 windows is good enough if you are trying to overturn Citeh.

      That’s exactly my point - it’s 4 players in the last 18 months that have been signed - since we won the league

      The same period City have signed the same amount and even one of them has left

      Anfield Watch…. Also known as Oliver Bond who has done work with the rag. Also been called out by Robbo and I think Virgil too for posting made up crap about them.

      Consider your sources Shabs…

      who remembers when FFP was going to level the playing field?

      What Klopp has done is a miracle.

      we have to be grateful we got the monkey off our back.

      This is the confusing part

      People say they aren’t asking for City type backing - fair enough

      But then go on to compare the squads where one squad has been built up with that level of backing

      To get to City squad has cost a £1bn with no fears of what players leave


      Even then we have been competing with them

      And also this new way that people no longer look at signings over a season - it’s signings over each window


      The last two seasons we have bought 4 quality players - but people will just highlight windows so the stat reads 1 player over 3 windows

      Yep agree with this, and also there seems to be this prevailing assumption that FSG and Klopp operate separate to each other - they are part of the same team and work together. Klopp sees himself as a coach first and foremost and is far happier developing players rather than trying to use the transfer market to 'fix' issues within the team.

      Having said that, I do think we will be signing players this summer ... not in the same vein as the likes of Sancho / Grealish (ie players who are seen to already be at their peak and will cost huge amounts of money) ... players of the same mould as Elliott and Konate - who have talent but still need developing. This model works for the club finanically but it also works for Klopp, which is why FSG and Klopp work so well together

      Maybe I didn’t see them as I didn’t read loads but it’s mostly just people saying open the chequebook and sign someone? Nothing offensive or out of line. Assuming I just didn’t see the replies you’re referring to.

      We're the most disliked, cos we're the most successful, F**k all reason else, those wankers are just the hangers-on making tits of themselves.

      I don't want to be liked by the rest of the country anyway.

      I think there's more to it (we're not the most successful btw) ... but agree it isn't something to aspire to by any means

      Take for comparison these smug North London F***ing dickheads.

      They use the Charity Shield which at the end of the day is a pre season match

      It's 43 to 42 in our favour.

      No idea what Wikipedia have added in.

      We are the most successful - unless you include Charity shield, which as mentioned isn’t really a trophy.

      And we have the big 6! Just need to reclaim our lead in league titles and there will be no debate.

      You really are bitter aren’t you...? 😂

      Makes you wonder why FSG bought LFC if they can’t compete financially..

      If that super league ever materialised we probably be at the lower end as we couldn’t afford the wages to pay WC players...
