So you think you are up there with Spurs and Arsenal? No chance! You haven't the squad to be in real chance of 4th. Newcastle have a better chance.
Lol Liverpool's history creeps up again! Why would a player choose you just because you have a history? Why would they care? What relevance does a team winning loads of leagues in the 80's have to a player choosing where to play today? How has that history worked out for you in the league for the last 20 years?
It's so irrelevant. Today, a player cares about many things, European football and money mainly, when moving to a club, but their history is pointless. Forest have a history. City don't. Chelsea barely do. You have a massive history. Where are players going? Where the money is and where European football is on offer.
Liverpool live off their history because they have nothing else to offer.
You don't have to respect us, you're a cheeky, disrespectful, clueless beaut. I just won't let you make posts about us without coming back at you. You're bitter about your best player maybe coming to Anfield so you start spouting your shit.
If you don't think Liverpool are up there with Arsenal, Tottenham and Newcastle then you've got even less of a clue about the game than i originally thought. I've been around football since i could stand and here i am arguing with a clueless clown like you about Liverpool.
We're one of the worlds elite clubs, with more to offer than most. The only thing missing just now is top level european football, players know that and want to help get us there. The embarrasing thing about people like you is, the "no champions league" and "no title in 20 odd years" are the only tools you have to argue with. What else you got?
You say I don't have to respect your team and then call me disrespectful again! It's amazing that you think I shouldn't slate your team, in this day and age, Liverpool are a mid table team. Of course, their history is the best, no question, but that is irrelevant today. Surely you can see that, or do you also live off the fact England won the World Cup in '66?
So you are telling me you are truly happy with your squad? You genuinely think you are capable of CL qualification with the players you have? Surely you seriously can't think you have a better squad than Arsenal, Spurs and Newcastle?
Well why have you been so very poor for the last few years if you are so good?
''worlds elite clubs'' - you aren't in this era of football, you are up there, but certainly not that high up. Your history is, the current team is not.
''More to offer than most'' - such as?
What you are missing is a squad that's good enough to challenge for the major trophies, or to qualify for Champions League football.
You say I only have those 2 things to say, it's because that's all I need. You go on about how great your club is, but you can't even qualify for CL let alone win the league, so why should your club, today, be regarded to highly?
I find it ironic that you say that as all you have to say is stuff about your history!
I do feel though, that this argument is going to go in circles as I can't see myself convincing you of anything, or vise versa
