Too expensive (wages).
True that.
Too expensive (wages).
That's not the point!!!
The point is City had problems AS WELL.
We had a better team and squad than City last season and should have won the league. No amount of bitching about oil money will convince me otherwise.
Grealish only plays on the left though and Sterling could play anywhere across the front 3. Same with Jesus.
Feels to me that they've lost a lot of the flexibility they had regarding the personnel on the bench.
Our problems were bigger though for the formation we like to play. Diaz's signing made all the difference to us and it's the first time under Klopp we had strength in depth up front. The damage to our compaign was done in the first half of the season when we didn't have him.
Nobody thought we would be in for a shout for the title after coming 4th the season before. Most people thought Chelsea would be the most likely challengers. So no, we shouldn't have won the league considering where the team was this time last year.
Hendo was huffing and puffing against Fulham.Hendo Milner .... Spearing?
Bellingham incoming. City already have a good relationship with Dortmund.Yea but you have to say that they signed Sterling’s replacement a year ahead of him leaving in Grealish. Fernandinho was replaced ages ago with Rodri and was just a squad player who they’ve sort of replaced with Phillips. They’ve signed 2 forwards to replace Jesus and a year later than expected Aguero but they had Sterling in the meantime. Zinchenko is the slightly odd one as it leaves them a bit short but probably no shorter than we have been with Trent.
A one transfer window comparison doesn’t work when they’re working across several windows. Watch them replace KDB a year ahead of time too with someone fantastic.
I wouldn’t class Salah as a striker but a wide forward who scores lots of goals. Like Mahrez.A goalscorer...

It's the first game of the season.

That’s what makes me think we did something crazy in training last week. The difference in the two sides was chalk and cheese.
Once we know we aren’t spending any of our emergency cash we’ll sign Bellingham for next season. Just like we did with Keita.i didn’t want to say it but yea and it has been mentioned before on the forum that Chelsea will also be shopping for Jorginho / Kante replacements soon. May well be out of our salary range next summer
I’m agreeing with you. On both Mahrez isn’t a striker (like Mo) and it’s a stupid conversation.I didn't say Salah was a striker, but he scores a shitload more goals than Mahrez so this is a fucking stupid conversation anyway.

Dictionary definition of striker : the player who is to strike the ball in a game; a player considered in terms of ability to strike the ball: a gifted striker of the ball. • a forward or attacker.A goalscorer...
Don't like the dictionary definition? I don't give a fuck. I'll continue to call him a striker, you do whatever you want.Steven Gerrard is one of the most gifted strikers of the ball I’ve ever seen. Played as an attacker under Benitez. Would you call him a striker?
Yeah but to be fair, you think keita is good at football.
Anyways, I've got a feeling Bellingham won't be that great.
More like 8-10 weeks. He usually takes longer than most to ramp up to full fitness.
He’s overhyped.Yeah but to be fair, you think keita is good at football.

Klopp. open to signing a midfielder - move must make sense long term
I've seen Keita play for Liverpool and he's not overhyped-- just not frequently available. But I'll agree to disagree with those who think he's overhyped as I do with those who think Bellingham is the next best thing.Like Keita
