Something I just thought about, sorry if its already been posted...not sure it has quite in this way
I'm in no way saying Kenny should go, he's the best man to bring this club back from the dead (very nearly anyway) and should be given plenty of time.
However, something MUST change, we are still around about the same position in the league, spent over £50million (taking into account torres+babel money for carrol+suarez) and are still in the same position, but we haven't had the european football as a distraction!? United, City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs have ALL had european football, therefore they can attract supposedly the better players, but everyone can see Chelsea are crap this year, Arsenal without RVP are screwed (i know these things have been said many times) but in terms of strength in depth, who has better than us? as in like for like...apart from man city and half of united
Liverpool:
Strikers: Suarez, Carroll, Bellamy, Kuyt
Wingers: Downing, Bellamy, Maxi, Hendo( just coz he has been played there)
Midfielders: Gerrard, Lucas, Hendo, Adam ,Spearo, Shelvey
Left Backs: Enrique, Aurelio, Robinson, Johnson
Right Backs: Johnson, Kelly, Flanno, Carra
Centre Backs: Agger, Skrtel, Coates, Carra
GK: Reina, Doni, Jones etc...
all these players (apart from maybe jones) are either internationals for good teams, Brazil, Uruguay etc...or standout players at their previous clubs (Adam at Blackpool even though i don't rate him) and although Enrique hasn't been called up for spain and wasn't a key key player at newcastle he HAS been a great signing for us
would you rather have our squad or uniteds?
Strikers: Rooney, Hernandez, Wellbeck (improving but still got some way to be a long term united player), Berbatov (would anyone really have him in our side?)
Wingers: Nani, Young, Valencia, Giggs
Midfielders: Scholes, Giggs, Carrick, Anderson
Left Backs: Evra, Fabio
Right Backs: Rafael, Smalling
Centre Backs: Ferdinand, Vidic, Jones, Smalling
GK: De Gea, Lindegaard
I know who I think SHOULD have the better squad, for some reason it just isn't working. Obviously United have a few very good players...rooney...nani. ..young, but so supposedly do we...Gerrard (thats without doubt) Suarez Carroll (even though he hasn't shown it) and Bellamy has surpassed everyones expectations so theres another one. I think on paper our squad should be able to outplay United - for example...we have the younger midfielders and Suarez scored more than any current united striker in his best season at ajax? I don't see why we can't at least come closer to top 4 than we currently look to be?
