There are some positives of this window. The players we have signed (besides Maupay who is one of the most profligate strikers going) have never got goals in their careers. "We have fixed the defence" 0 clean sheets without playing a team that'll finish top 4 this season (that pain is to come)...
We all got our warning with "Judge us at the end of the window" from FM. It's like the Gov. ghouls saying we'll probably announce something about cost of living crisis when the new PM is in post. It is possible (in fact sensible) to tackle a crisis before you're in the eye of the storm so to...
Agreed. Doesn't matter if you can finish but are a total slug who makes the team have a passenger in games (we've got enough of those). It's not the 80s anymore, in the PL past 10 years only slow forwards that work are those whose link up play and finishing is top level (Giroud and Dzeko) even...
If Gakpo goes to any other comparable in size premier league team, that is absolutely criminal from us. Absolutely made for a Richarlison replacement. It is soul crushing to see almost all other teams sign good players whilst we mull over bids for players Wolves and Burnley types that they can't...
Using your comparison:
Do Liverpool have the players to start moving up the table? Absolutely.
Do we? Absolutely not.
If you are pinning our hopes of rectifying all of this in a few days given multiple windows of evidence that proves we're incompetent, I've got a bridge I'd like to sell you.
Gutted we didn't show more ambition in the French market after Onana. There's so much value to be had but we seem to be looking at proven to be rubbish in England and people saying "he's better than Rondon or what we have". As if there's a benchmark that'll result in anything but the...
And so the plan of BK etc. plays out once more in a transfer window, take us to the point of desperation and the fans will be grateful for anything. Abandon rational thoughts on a new player and accept any no mark.
