If we manage to get a proper striker in this summer them I believe we will have a serious team that would challenge for major honors properly.
However, even the current team can look lethal if we play everyone where they should.
------Cech-------
Belerin-Merts-Kos-Mont
------Xhaka-------
Elneny----Santi
------Ozil-----
-----Giroud----Sanchez
442, players playing in their favourite positions and seeing as are width comes from the full backs, we don't need to worry a out wingers.
I'm saying this under the assumption that we are signing a new CFOriginally Posted by Niall_Quinn
Without even a striker that can contribute to similar levels of Giroud, nothing will change. Then throw in the injuries and mis-management of the squad by Wenger and things look different. I'm excited by new signings as much as the next fan but let's not forget what we have seen for seasons on end. We always end up short in the squad somewhere and our style of football has become pretty rancid too. We've seen a lot of teams and squads look 'great' on paper in the past decade but reality turns out to be vastly different. Don't want to put a dampener on optimism because that's half the point of being a fan but we can't forget where we are at the moment.
Sanchez and Ollie have as much chemistry as a badger and donkey lev!
Sanchez doesn't have chemistry with anyone on the pitch. And allegedly off the pitch he isn't liked that much either.
Nothing to question, mate - there was a release clause and Liverpool's owners just lied through their teeth about it!
Honestly, their PR team have played an absolute blinder with that story - our bid should have legally triggered his release clause, but somehow we've come out of it being mocked by all and sundry (including our own fans)?! How our manager and board must wish we had their spin team at the moment...
Have you watched the games?
Are you saying we should sell him?
Shouldn't the necessary authorities have taken their arses to task? I never understood why that didn't happen.....particularly after admitting they lied. What's the point of the clause if you can just lie about!
I guess these contracts are between the clubs and the players, so it would have been down to Suarez to take any private action? But the impression I got was that even Suarez had started to question whether he his release clause was valid in the end - that's how good of a job they did!
To be honest, part of me actually thought 'Good for you, Liverpool' when they just folded their arms and refused to deal - I remember their owner saying something about how players rarely honour their contracts, so they just decided to do the same. The only thing that still massively irks me about it is that we're still regarded as the arseholes in the whole debacle, when in actual fact we did nothing wrong and did pretty much everything necessary to get the deal done?
I think it was just down to Suarez to force the move through but I don't think he was arsed about joining us in particular, he just fancied CL football and we just happened to be the ones with an offer on the table. With him, we would have won the league at least twice in the 3 seasons that have since passed. Annoying.
