KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum players we should break the bank for.

I was confused too, but I no longer expect a rational response.

turan likely to heading towads athletico acording to goal.com...

i would like him @ anfield due to his pace and trickery but hope wereally sign some top notch players...

Not fussed if we don't get him. Am fussed if we don't improve the squad.

I think Turan is at his peak and whilst would certainly improve the squad and first 11, isn't one of the best choices out there.

Yes CarheeX rumour has it he's sacked off the EPL because none of the teams registered serious interest. If he goes to Bayern for 17 or less, I'd say we missed out cause he is class.

if we were to break the bank for a player it would have to be a match winner coentrao isnt, so id go with the best right winger we could get

It'll be a pleasure!

My point is that you don't need a team of world class big name players to be massively successful. Ferguson's squad isn't great by any means and hasn't been for a few years yet he keeps winning and winning. Therefore we should worry more about who can manage us to winning the league again. A top class proven manager is far more a priority than a couple of new stars.

Very true about needing the right manager, bet lets not kid around, the man Utd squad is definitely one of the top 3 in the league.

Ok Carh, then who would you appoint ahead of kenny that you think can win us the league?

While it's true that Fergie is the best club manager in Europe, and has been so for at least a decade), what Fergie has to work with is a squad second only to Chelsea. They may be weaker than his squads of the past, but they're still a more cohesive unit with a lot of very good players, which shows more how incredibly good they used to be than how poor they are now.

2 seasons ago (when we finished 2nd to them) it read something like this: Players in LFC squad worth >18m - 5. Players in Man U squad worth >18m. 17. Since then they have sold only Ronaldo.

*That* is what Fergie has to work with. You won't find United finishing 7th any time soon, with or without Fergie, though maybe without him they won't win the title quite so often. Having the right manager is important, but it's far from the only thing.

No need to ask - he picks Mourinho, while forgetting that Mourinho doesn't pick us.

Villas Boas all the way.
