KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Should we not get 4th or 5th spot??

I have not really wanted to post his topic because I truly believe with the right results and with the King we can reach 5th or even 4th.

Although, if by chance we do not reach 4th or 5th, what kind of players are we expected to pick up via the summer transfer window. Will any big name players want to play for a team not in europe. I have had long dicussions with a few other supporters.

I read a blog post somewhere about just this topic, where the poster looked back at who we purchased the last time we missed out on Europe. Smicer. Hammann. Hyppia. +1 who's name I can't remember. Can't say we did all that badly, can we?

The point is just that missing out on Europe will simply help to insure any player we buy really wants to play for the club, and perhaps that's for the best given our recent history. Maybe we won't sign the people we as fans think we need (eg Coentrao, Richards), but I'm sure we will sign players who we will come to rely on and trust. Whether these players go on to help us win silverware remains in their power, but the 3 names I mentioned were bought in 1999, and all played at Istanbul 6 years later.

I don't think it'll be the end of the world. Players will still want to come here and as Thundyr says, they should then be the right players. It might do us some good, also, and we can concentrate on domestic matters and make sure we get back to top 4 next season.
