Skrtel wanted by Man City, Agger wanted by Real or Barca was it? Suarez and Gerrard wanted by almost everyone. I think a lot of clubs would like Johnson, so half the team is wanted by the very best sides. Not so bad is it.
Skirtel is decent at the very most, Gerrard's best days are well behind him even when fit, Johnson as we seen with England is good going forward but a mess when put under pressure on the back foot as the Sweden game proved, Suarez with his goal return for us in never good enough in a million years and that does'nt include him being a liability with the trouble he causes, Dan Agger when fit and available for me is our only true outstanding player it's it's no wonder Barca are after him as he is taylor made for them.
If you view everything through s**t goggles, then of course the team is rubbish. If you look at it without judgement, it's irrelevant whether you think Skrtel is average, or Gerrard is past it. These guys are wanted by some of the best clubs in the world, therefore they're not as bad as you say.
As for Suarez, the season just gone, before he was accused of racism, he had a better goals per minute ratio than Van Persie. It's quite understandable for him to lose form after that nonsense.
I'm not saying the team is the best in the world or the league, but we're definitely top 6, and quite a few of our players wouldn't look out of place in the top 2 or 3 teams.
Take off the goggles.
