KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Seriously..Who would want to join us in the summer

I know you guys keep linking every player under the sun to us but what will we have to offer the top players of Europe. No European footie, Crap squad and little or no chance of winning the league for years (if ever). Just can`t see any top players wanting to come, we will end up with the promising youngsters and Poulsens of this world.!
Only chance we have got is massive spend and a major player as manager, not knocking KK but I`m sure more players would come if Mourinho was manager because he has been there done it recently.

Nice attitude. They will come to play for Liverpool! This club has history known worldwode that was far better than the slump we're in now thanks to the last few owners that the players of today grew up with and the player in their memories is KK. So they will listen to KK who will lay out his 2 year plan to get to the top. They will then sign to become part of this gr8 clubs history and become legends like KK in reviving the club to the level they grew up with. There is a good core at the club of players who would get into the top four teams in UK plus the already promising youngsters in the acadamy. This with 5 - 6 players who would also be able to grace other top 4 teams will lift the team into the top 4 and champ league. This could be done in a season with the right personnel. It is like we have been relegated and need to get back to the top league. Anyhow there is still the possibility we can make 5th and a real slim one to make 4th but a lot of games have to go our way.

Mate wake up. Top stars do not give a toss about the name and history they want , Money, Fame and some of them even want trophies too.
I agree we have some promising youngsters but they will need top players to make our team a title contender, my point is they won`t come just because we are LFC and we have a lovely history and fan base, unfortunately.

Matt
No you are right but KK will paint the picture of 1 season to with the right personnel and then back to champ league. Look at the glass half full my friend. Yanks money will also play a factor plus the history they grew up will will get them to listen to KK not necessarily get them to sign then we shall see. Will need a couple of decent signings on June 1st when trading opens so as to aid the incoming and prevent Pepe leaving.

Look at Man City, spent bucket loads of money on a mountain of 'stars' yet couldn't get through Europa. They wont win the league and even if they do make CL they will most likely get 4th and are no definate to get through to the group stage.

We can sign as many quality players as we can afford ... however we need to probably look at 18 yr old - 21 yr old talented prospects rather than buying 28 year old stars wanting automatic titles .... like FT.

I think Matt B you are very much downgrading the 'anfield effect'. Players do want to come to liverpool. BUT obviously we might miss out on superstars who are only in it for the short term trophies.

tell that to Suarez and Caroll who did join us, and Adam, Gomez and Coentrao who wanted to join us

Well Matt b, your fears may be well founded, but I Just hope we can get at least Five top class players to join us, at lb, cb, cm, + two wingers, otherwise it looks like Kenny is thinking the unthinkable i.e. the horrible hoof and hope game! We have been left with with a squad full of championship class players, brought in mainly by Rafa, and we cannot hope to play any kind of passing game. Our only hope is to have a car boot sale in the summer and then sign the best we can get/afford. At the moment it really is an appalling vista. However having said that I have faith in Kenny and I believe he will know what has to be done. The question is will John Henry stump up?

Bale, Adam

How do we know Henry will deliver the cash, I still have my doubts. The only reason he spent that much on carroll was cause of torres....

don`t get me wrong here guys I desperately want top names to come but with no european footie (hoping we will pick off one of the teams above) then for this summer at least I think we will struggle to get any top tier players in. We will probably have to look at second tier players with something to prove or just past their peak.
I am delighted that we have picke up recently but it is very evident we are a long way off being a major force with the squad we have at present and not going through against Braga is a major setback.
