:rof:

Arsenals realistic goals in my eyes would be:
- Sign a world class striker
- Replace Sagna with a good right back (he wants to leave, apparently)
- At least top 4 again
- At least make it out of Group Stage in Champs League
- St Totteringham's Day
- At least one trophy (hopefully to back up the FA Cup!)
- Keep Rambo, Ozil, Theo & Jack fit for the whole season (and with that, I think a trophy will come tbh)
- Zelalem & Gnabry to get game time throughout the season, and to do really well

Arsenals audacious goals in my eyes would be:
- Win the league
- Semis/Final/Win the Champs League

I think we are another year or 2 away from a dominant title campaign. We may be in a similar position come Xmas next year (in the mix with a few games left) but i think we are a few years away from a campaign where we win it with a few games to go.

That being said, I think our realistic goals would be similar to yours.
- Finish Top 4, otherwise all the hard work would be for nothing and we would risk losing a lot of players.
- A solid Group stage in Europe, a win or 2 would be good. (Unless we improve our squad depth a lot, i think we are better off concentrating on securing 4th, than attempting a CL push.)
- Sign a quality striker. Give Suarez and Sturridge a break when their form dips. And just to add to our squad. City, for example, have the luxury of having Negredo, Dzeko, Aguero, Jovetic. 4 Quality strikers.
- Sort our defence out. This is pivotal if we want any success next year. Our defence is simply not good enough. Excuse my *mini-rant*
-Another solid midfielder is needed for our increase in fixtures. Hopefully reunite Alonso and Gerrard for another CL campaign haha.
-Retain Suarez for another year. I think Madrid will come knocking tbh. SO i think we should be looking for a replacement. Though his recent love-in with Gerrard may entice him to stay for one final shot.
- Extend Rogers contract - he looks like a long term option. Just the way he carries himself and speaks is what we've been after for so long, without having the circus of Mourinho and joining the merry-go-round of coaches.


Audacious goals
- Win the league
- Quarter Finals CL.

How we strengthen the squad over the next few months will determine just how competitive we aim to be. We have a real chance to secure our next 3 years of Top 4 with some solid signings.

*Ok, our defence has let us down so many times this year. Things happen but on so many occasions we ****ed up with OG's, slips and careless turnovers. I'm talking about those gift goals. i.e. Stevie G, Toure had a few. If we irradicate just those goals, we win the league this year imo. Success story for this year is Flanagan, he has emerged as a genuine hope for the future. Skrtel's refusal to leave, speaking to Rogers begging for a chance to stay and try and earn a spot, has been great. His form has been terrific and probably our best CB option atm. I believe Agger has done reasonably well when he plays. I don't really know why he was made Vice captain if Rogers didn't see him as a regular starter, so that makes me wonder what happened. Imo get rid of Sakho and Toure. Bring in a World Class CB, play Skrtel or Agger alongside them. Johnson has been AIDS recently. He has potential to be brilliant but his capitulation against Palace was the final straw for me. Sell him, get some $$$ before he is worthless. Cissokho did well, but we need a better long term option. Hopefully Enrique is fit :S. Essentially, A new CB, and a LB. And possibly a hybrid player who can do either.

Yeah him too.

I've seen the Man U links they are also linked to Strootman I would love us to highjack both bids something I think we may be able to do now with CL. Years gone pass we've done all the leg work with transfers only to have the likes of Chelsea, United & City snatch them away at the last hour with CL football being the deciding factor.

Reports are that Rodgers will get £60mil I think with £70-£80mil you could land Lallana, Hummels, Strootman, Richards & Shaw. So with the sale of Reina, Johnson, Enrique & Coates + £60mil it's possible to fund.
Also with Borini and Assaidi returning I don't think there is a need to splash the cash on some forwards and the return from injury of Martin Kelly will be like a new signing.

Where are Pool getting 60-80m from, though? I get the sale of those few players will help, but: if City have breached Financial Fair Play in Europe, and there is any truth behind Pool already breaching it with their current squad, how are they actually allowed to spend that money?

Would have to be Champions League cash innit? LFC would be one of the only (biggish) clubs in Europe who's revenues are about to go way up.
Reading the other day United stand to lose about £35m in TV/prize money alone from UCL. Factor in sponsorship/gate/merch money and LFC would prob have plenty of cash to 'legally' spend. Not £60-80m but maybe £40m odd esp if transfer $ come in.

I actually wonder the same thing. A few things but Liverpool's wage budget would not even be close to City's and there is a huge increase from TV revenue next season plus Liverpool will get added money compared to this season due to the Champions League. That said I'm still concerned about FFP.

Just quickly on FFP how hypocritical are UEFA to fine City and PSG reportedly €50 million. I'm sorry but I don't get logic of fining a club money for breaching a rule of spending to much money in which said rule was introduced to stop clubs from going bankrupt.

The fine can be paid by the owners with no impact on the clubs bottom line. So the Royal family etc will pay the bill. The fine is to (hopefully) punish owners who fund these clubs rather than the clubs themselves.

Yeah sort of but I fear a precedent will be set by this, what happens if say Fenerbahce breach FFP dose that mean the Fenerbahce Sports Club then have to pay a €50mil fine.

Yes.
But I assume Fenerbahce don't have a multi billionaire backing them so would be less inclined to spend money they don't have (for fear of not only breaking the rules but to avoid bankruptcy as you alluded to).

The rules were designed to stop a club with say £200m turnover operating as if it had £800m turnover just because they had someone backing them that can make up the losses.

By all means they aren't perfect but at least it's a start. There will always be cases of clubs getting around the rules but I guess things aren't perfect now anyway.

Besides, I kind of like the fact a team like Arsenal, who seem to have their house in order, will get rewarded for good governance rather than lucking out from someone with mega pockets buying them.

Seriously in spite of your efforts in the last few weeks where we will beg to differ about whether you choked you still finished 2 points off wining the League. Now I know you can't turn form on and off at the drop of a hat but reality is you aint that far away from reaching the summit.

Why the **** are you expecting it to take a few years now to get there??

Your squad should be deeper and more experienced and regardless of what Man C Chelski Manure Arsenal etc do with themselves you should still be in a great position to have a crack at it regardless.

DISCLAIMER (Assuming you don't choke AGAIN)

For reasons gaz outlined.
We were an unknown force. We had an element of surprise. Nobody knew what suarez and sturridge and sterling to a degree were capable of. The last few games are an indication that teams are wary of us. As much as it was us feeling the pressure, it was other teams realising how to stop liverpool.
We were devastating on the counter. So teams like Chelsea, Sunderland, villa and a few others decided, what if we just don't attack.
For us to win it, we need to be able to break down this defences eg Chelsea, they did nothing that game in terms of attack yet we couldn't break them down in 95 minutes.

Next year teams know what we do, they know they can stop us.
But as you said, I can't see Chelsea changing much. Man Utd will be dangerous. Arsenal will consolidate and city should be about the same.

On Chelsea, reckon we'd want Hazard?

Premy
12-05-2014, 07:55 PM
I actually think teams had been trying to park the bus against us all season but we had a uncanny nack of scoring early goals. So that tactic had to get thrown out the window and teams weren't set up to attack us but still had to which played right into our hand (Totenham and United prime examples).

Nice job mate that's actually a pretty good read. I tried to read it being impartial to the fact you're a United supporter but I couldn't help myself at times think "of course you would say that", sorry. All in all nice work.

Couple of things I don't get but is where does all this Liverpool got a easy ride attitude come from even in the comment section I got the same feeling. We had our fair share of injuries, Gerrard and Sturridge were out for most of the busy December January period when we had both City and Chelsea away, Lucas was like a tampon, Kelly wasn't seen all season, we had Flanagan playing LB because we ran out of options(credit to him he then made that position his) hell even Brad Smith got his debut we were that short.
Don't get me started on the whole, they had no European football to contend with argument, that's been Liverpool's biggest draw back and has hurt us more than it has helped us.
Sure we had a bit of luck go our way we also had plenty go against us, that's football but we played in the same competition as all the other Club's for them to suggest we had it easy that's why we achieved is just a cop out from their behalf.

Rogers here until 2018. Good news! He seems to have a lot of respect from the playing group. His only downfall is his ability in the transfer market, but it's hard to blame him as FSG and the "transfer committee" must shoulder some responsibility. Now we have UCL, a stable coach and a promising season ahead it'll be interesting to see what we can do.

Suarez having his meniscus trimmed. Relatively minor surgery. Interesting that he didn't try and play out the world cup first, as surgery 3 weeks prior with an estimated recovery of 2-3 weeks seems risky. Meniscal injuries can be quite debilitating, i know my knee was 'locked' with about 15 degrees of movement. but he seemed to be playing relatively freely. Perhaps another reason for his lacklustre last few weeks of the season.

Don't know if he's worth 30M. Considering arsenal offered 40m +1 for suarez (not really a serious offer, just trying to reach a clause). There's a lot better players we could get for 20-25.
That being said, I think we need to splurge a little bit, overpay for the right player. So if Rogers sees him as a 2-3+ year project.

Still think sterling is going to blitz it this World Cup providing he gets some game time, and epl season.

Gerrard is on his way out, the longer Suarez actually stays around the more Spanish clubs will circle him - IMO Liverpools genuine title hopes will be gone within a year or two. You guys need to do what you can now. Alonso, maybe, or Lallana IMO would be your best midfield bets.

Apparently Poch wants to use his relationship to get Lallana at Sp*rs, as phernz said, so this will only drive his price up more as Levy has no issues spending.

Call me stupid or crazy but I think it maybe tactics. Blind Freddie can see we are desperate for defenders and clubs can use that as a negotiation tool against us. So if we link ourselves to all these strikers make us seem like we're not after defenders may drive down the price when we enter negotiations for defenders.

Just out of curiosity, what effect does a formal transfer request have? It's made out to be some big thing. But does it force the clubs hand in any way? Or is it basically just a I don't want to play here, I'm not gonna play well if you keep me. Seems a easy way to lower your value.

Usually when a player is transferred both the player and agent are entitled to a small percentage of the transfer fee(around 5% I think), if a transfer request is submitted by the player he negates his entitlement to his percent of the transfer fee.
Also it's a PR risk too if a player comes out and puts in a official transfer request then ends up not getting a transfer not only will it upset the fans but who wants to play with someone who doesn't want to be in the team.

THere is also the loyalty bonus that long serving players get as a part of their contract (if negotiated). A formal tranfer requests negated this because then the player has instigated the move, not the selling club. Usually the buying club will offset this of that's the case.

Fark, media beat up on Suarez is well and truly underway.


Barcelona made little secret of their intentions on Tuesday when their sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta described Suarez as “humble” for having apologised to Giorgio Chiellini on Monday for biting the Italian.

Zubizarreta was speaking at a press conference to introduce the club’s new Croatian midfield signing Ivan Rakitic. Asked about the club’s potential interest in Suarez, Zubizarreta said: “Suarez has shown he is humble enough to admit an error, which is very important.


akitic, signed for £14m from Seville said: “The fact he [Suarez] has had the character and the strength to go in front of everyone and say sorry says a lot about him as a person.

“Not every person has that strength to admit they have done something stupid. I rarely say that I am wrong so this says a lot about him, he has shown the character and strength he has so he should be commended for that.

What a crock of shit.


My biggest annoyance is that, the whole world condemned him for his actions, which were undoubtedly unacceptable. His actions polarised LFC fans and despite his indiscretions i'd say half were somewhat willing to stand by him, see out the "harsh" ban and expected the club to counsel and support him through it. These fans were subsequently condemned.
Seems like Barca has had a whisper to him/agent "Apologise Luis and we'll come rescue you". He apologised, good on him. (the thoughts of an apology did not seem to matter previously, as "this is the 3rd time...he won't change")
Now, it appears, because Barca can look past it and fork out 80M+ for him, the rest of the world can too.

I think the problem is Suarez has a release clause of 80 million pounds in his contract. Looking at how FSG handled the drama last year, I expect them to stick to their guns and get every penny they are entitled to in the contract the Suarez signed and agree to with the club.

Sanchez will be thrown in, but Im reading he isn't interested in Liverpool. He prefers other options. However, I can see with FFP Barca may have to sell him to fund a move for Suarez regardless. Hopefully Madrid come in and it COULD start a bidding war. Mind you if both offer 80 million it'll be down to who gives his agent the biggest cut.

Before this Barca speculation, After the bite, i'd assumed the world had virtually lost patience with him. However, Barca and their offer has somewhat dampened the hate/publicity the bite/penalty would've received. I honestly don't know how I feel about selling him now.
Missing him until November is a big blow...But if we get results prior, he'll come in at a stage where we dropped points last year. Newcastle, Chelsea, Palace, Stoke and Leicester are the first 5 games for him to eligible to play. We only really miss him against City/Spurs/Everton. However, keeping him, one more incident and i imagine the ban to be quite substantial and his value to drop.
Sell him and we sell our best player, and the reason why we were so brilliant last year. While Sanchez is a brilliant player, there's still a risk that he won't adapt to EPL football as we've seen so often when players change leagues. But it may be worthy to cash in now, for somebody who can play an extra 9 (EPL) + 3(UCL) games. Especially this season with additional $$$ for UCL 15/16 qualification.

Pretty indifferent really.
Really hoping we did some good ground work on Shaqiri prior to this WC. He was mentioned once or twice..Standout for the Swiss and looks quite similar to Suarez in his ability to just turn it on.

Haha, No one else wanted him and Milan had already been knocked back by multiple clubs. So your wonderful theory is to buy players that no one else wants?

Shaqiri had been linked with a move to Anfield earlier in the summer but Brendan Rodgers signed Adam Lallana and Lazar Markovic.

But it is now reported that Rodgers could return to sign the Swiss international before the transfer window closes on Monday.

Shaqiri made just 17 appearances for Bayern last term, leading to reports that he is seeking a move away from the German champions.

+1. Gerrard has been disappointing. But he started last year slow as well. It worries me when his passes are intercepted, as this is one of the main reasons he is still in the team.

Allen should be used on 60-70 for Coutinho. Allen can defensively tighten things up, or spark a bit of movement to attack more. He's almost more of an impact as a substitute than when he starts.

Manquillo 2 yellows from 2 games. Flanno will be looking forward to coming back.

Will be good to lallana come back, keen to see what he can add.

Balotelli could've easily had 2-3. He worked harder than i expected, he once tracked back to behind the defence. Though he was just kind of waltzing around in defence at times. I was impressed with his touch and ability to play a pass.

I like him as a player just thought he was below his usual level.
(Key word 'thought') just my opinion tis all.
As for Gerrard I thought his passing and options in attack were not his best. Again, opinion from what I watched.
I watch Henderson nowadays and think he's the best midfielder Liverpool have got (he's playing really well). The fact he missed the last few games last year didn't seem to get the attention it warranted from people looking for a reason why Liverpool didn't hang on to win the title.

Liverpool could possibly be playing Brisbane Roar in Brisbane next year.

Pool coming back to Aus in July to face Roar.

Will the interest be as great as the Melbourne game, seeing as though it's relatively soon after the last visit?

EDIT: sorry Prem, didn't see your post pal! Beat me to it by several hours :rof: :oops:

Can't see it being an issue.
Throw in different location so will see so many locals come out to watch. Add in the fact there are more than enough plastic wannabe scousers in this country can not see it being not being sold out anyway

Tickets will sell fast as long as Brisbane is the only stop, rumors are that it could be Melbourne and Brisbane.
Throw in the potential ICC tournament, I believe Liverpool's following in Aus is large enough and loyal enough to sell out both MCG and Suncorp. If the date doesn't clash with my European trip next year I'll be going to Brisbane.

Planning permission has been granted for the redevelopment of Anfield apparently.

I know this isn't exactly new news but is it more of a sure thing it will happen now?

UEFA is to investigate seven clubs, including European giants Liverpool and Inter, over possible breaches of Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations.

The CFCB has opened formal investigations into seven clubs (AS Monaco, AS Roma, Besiktas JK, FC Internazionale Milano, FC Krasnodar, Liverpool FC and Sporting Clube de Portugal) as they disclosed a break-even deficit on the basis of their financial reporting periods ending in 2012 and 2013
