I think the part about Liverpool of the 80s is that we don't have that kind of clout and success anymore. Now we are lucky if we get 4th, let alone be winning trophies left, right and centre so don't really seem like the best team to go to/be at if you want to get a lot of silverware, despite the improvements we've been making.
Nah it's a rubbish point made by a Blert.
In the 80s we weren't full of South Americans. In fact growing up I only remember one Brazilian playing in England and that wasn't with us.
It's trying to stretch a point.
I do fully believe that South Americans want to play for Barca or Real, but it's more to do with the culture/language and weather of Spain and those being the biggest clubs there. Suarez didn't necessarily dream of Barca from being a boy, he's said so, he just dreamed of being a footballer and playing for National.. The Barca thing only came after he had made it and his girlfriend/wife's family moved there... Then that became his ultimate aim to be with her.. Had her family moved to Hartlepool and she had gone to uni there then Barca may have become Hartlepool in his dreams.
We built in the 70s/80s with home grown players who saw us as the pinnacle and we kept until we didn't want them, same with Utd in the 90s/2000s for the main.
We don't attract the elite now because we don't win granted but the point of the 80s is a sh*te one by a blert who is just sound biting rather than taking a step back and looking at the situation.
I'd respect a pundit who actually came out and said that he recently signed a new deal without a get out and even if he wants the move Liverpool are more than within their rights to make him honour at least a small part of that new deal rather than just forget that and say well it's his dream let him have it...
What about f**k that and put a bit of power back to the clubs than the players, he was happy to sign and get a pay rise... Forget his 'childhood dream' ... What about our fans dreams of winning things? And not selling our better players will give us a better chance of that.
Pundits, f**k off with your sh*te about the poor player, what about us poor c**t fans who pay a small fortune to follow the club that most of us have to desperately find... I care more about our dreams than that pr**k who signed his new deal with no get out 3 months ago.
F**k Barton the waste of oxygen blert
