KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum can we challange for the title

i think its a possiblilty that we could make a challenge but it depends how we start the first 6-8 games, but i'd say more realisticly we will make top 4

Very unlikely but anything is possible. I think theres a tough challange for us to even get into the top4, it will be very tough but if Suarez and co are on fire all season you never know and we might sneak into the top4 with ease.

The teams that finished top 6 last season have so far signed the following players of some significance:

Arsenal: Gervinho
Chelsea: --------
City: Agüero & Clichy (+Adebayor & Bellamy back from loan)
Manure: De Gea, Ashley Young & Phil Jones
Tottenham: Friedel
LFC: Adam, Henderson & Downing

I would say that we are somewhere near top in that list anyway. On the other hand we are probably the club with the most dross hanging around!

I would add Suarez and Carroll to our list given that Carroll was injured for his couple of games and Suarez was finding his feet. In addition don't for the addition of Kenny and Clarke who came in late in last season, not to mention the ownership saga!! Therefore when you look at in the round we have strengthened considerably more than any of the clubs you listed there, van Gogh. In my opinion that puts us in with a shout for the title and a realistic shot at top 4!!

you never know, but it will be a tough task. it's vital that we get a good start and if we're still in the race around christmas then anything might be possible. but getting back into champions league must be the target for this season. but lets see what happens during august, if we can get a couple of more good signings then this season might be a very good one.

Ah God, aldo! did you have to mention the crusaders! I wes just beginning to feel like an LFC fan again! now look what you've done! I,m back in doom land!!

No sign of them yet.

I think 4th is as good as it gets and even that will be hard given that while we've been forking £20m for Jordan Henderson, Arsenal look like sealing a £15m move for Mata - whose exactly the type of player we need - rather than the club's obssession with signing central midfielders

My opinion is subject to change between now and the end of the transfer window, but as things stand, i'd predict a 4th place finish, behind Chelsea, Man Ure & City. Arsenal will be tough to overtake, especially if they sign Mata and hang onto Nasri & Fabregas. There's a few weeks to go yet, though.

If they sign Mata and hang onto Nasri and farbregas then i think they will rightly be favourites to get that 4th spot

The big unknown team for me is Chelsea. They haven't made many signings, YET, despite having an ageing squad, no one really knows how good their new manager is and £50m man Torres is still firing blanks up front
