So Big Virge; Keita; Fekir; talk of us trying for Dembele; talk of us in for Allison or Oblak.
If we hang onto what we've got and strengthen with this kind of quality, I think we have to say that FSG have woken up to the possibility that we can make the next step up and cement our place among the elite, and perhaps even win some shit. We've been acting like ninjas in the transfer market for a change, and credit to the team who are pushing this shit forward. Stadium expanded with more to come, elite players queuing up to play for us. This feels potentially very special. I'm excited.
Yeah man, I woke up to read that apparently, we've agreed on a fee for that French attacker but maybe they are getting ahead of themselves. I have never seen him play but if he is as good as people keep saying he is that could be good.
It is exciting and although FSG are CONSIDERABLY better than HnG it is about time they caught on that they bought a massive club for fuck all money and we've got stuff in place to do things IF we can bring in a few more top players. I would also be happy if we signed that Shaquiri fella as well, he is pretty nifty and if Klopp can shake him up get him fitter a bit he would be a useful squaddie.
I would officially love FSG if they get Oblak as well, we would have a hell of a spine in that team...
But that would be huge money and I doubt their pockets are that deep but fingers crossed.
It is exciting times for us, with cash hanging over from the Coutinho sale and from our CL run we can probably buy big, IF FSG dig a bit deeper and really splash out we could challenge. As it is I Imagine with our opponents the way they are a team will need at least 90 points to have a chance of winning the league, City were sensational this season and will probably strengthen but at the same time, I do not see them gathering in 100 points again.
It is strange the way footy goes sometimes, our best performances this year came after we got smashed by Spurs when Lovren and Mig gifted them goals early doors in the first half.
Despite the points tally the semi Mancs on here and Spurs perverts I'm firmly of the belief that we were the second-best team last season. When City had good luck with super mega late winners we got dodgy late pens given against us and offside equalizers by our opponents. Results like that don't just count mathematically they count mentally too, on numerous occasions our team rolled into games after games under stress thinking that they weren't that good and whinging from the crowd filtering down via social media...
OOOH we should have bought VVD in summer, OOH Lovren is shit etc... That must take a toll on their spirits.
What am I saying here! I'm half asleep forgive me.
In the profound engraved and possibly permanent misery of the CL final not many people mentioned it but, Lovren showed just how fucking good he can play, on the biggest stage there is, he stepped up and played really well. Imagine being Lovren? Ah you are shit la... we need a new defender... constant shit flying at him... and what does he do? He steps up and basically contained Christiano Ronaldo.
In terms of "luck" last year all, we mainly got dealt lots of bad luck at the same time City where handed goals in the 98th minute of a game where there should only have been 96 minutes.
City are better than us, there is no denying that, but when we were pussyfooting around thinking we weren't good enough and hearing that drift through on the vibes at the club at the start of the season City just kept on winning. This time around we might just push em... I hope we spend big... i'm buzzing.
