I genuinely think 4th place is where we will finish. Realistically I think Man City and Chelsea are a step above in terms of experience, and maybe a bit of quality. I also think Utd will go way back this year and I can see us not being far off them if not ahead of them come May! I think Spurs and Arsenal will find it difficult to keep up, especially with both of them having a leaky defense!
I am enjoying the way BR is going about his business, especially with giving youth a chance. Plus, i like the way they were ambitious about there summer work, everyone knows that big players come for CL football, so it makes it extremely difficult to get your ready made World-Class stars like Jovetic, Willian and Mkhitaryan, but at least we were ambitious and bidded for these players. - The thing is with these players is that if we make CL next year, and the big European nights are back an Anfield, these players will look back at this as there chance missed to join this great club - so maybe we are better off without them!
I think if we do make forth, there will be one Marquee signing every summer, plus a large emphasis on establishing our young players. To be honest, it is exactly the way I want the club to go. Everyone can moan and groan about FSG, but when they joined I always said id give them 4-5 years before I made my judgement - Especially after the state the club was in after Hicks and Gillett! If you offered me Jovetic for 25m or Coutinho for 8m, there would only be one answer really, it isnt always about spending mountains of money on over rated donkeys!!! I wasnt happy with a lot of ther decisions such as leaving Kenny go, but I will leave off my opinions until maybe this time next year.
The way football is going now, I would actually hate if the club turned into a Man City with unlimited amounts of cash......If we do win the league within the next 3-4 years it will make it alot more sweeter winning it the right way through young ambitious players with a few home grown players thrown in.
I also think Sakho will be a brilliant signing, it may take him a while to settle in, especially with not knowing a word of English. I really have high hopes for this guy, and i actually wouldnt be surprised if he ended up have a similar career that Sami did at Anfield. And Moses looks a handy little player too!
Think im rambling abit, just my opinion!
