i haven't read this whole thread, just the author's post. anyway, am i the only one who was NEVER under the impression that the window in january would see us bringing in loads of new players? i thought it was pretty clear for some time that we WOULD be getting some new players but that it would not be a bunch. I think probably 2/3 players max. I've never at ANY stage expected any more than that. If we get as many as 3, I doubt they'll all be on permanent deals.

To be honest in January I can see us only bringing in 1 maybe 2 players, but im just hoping for anything now we need something we cant finish at all unless Suarez is on form. I'd even take Walcott/Sturridge/Ince either one of them if we dont get a striker, I dont rate Sturridge that highly but I rate Walcott higher, and i'd take a punt on Ince he's scoring for fun with Blackpool.
But apart from that I dont really want to discuss January for a while as its the same crap every year were linked with so many quality players but we end up with average. Apart from a few good ones. I hate to bring him up on here and im onle of the ones who gives out if others do, but its clear for all to see (well in my opinion anyway) that since the late 80s/early 90s Rafa brought in more quality than anyone that said for every quality player he bought he brought in 3 bad ones, but the bad ones were always on the cheap apart from your Aqualani's (who i thought was a very good player when fit, never lost a competitive game with him in the side i heard 26 apps 0 losses) of the world.
I can see this January turning out frustrating but there's also a part of my brain that thinks maybe Rodgers really is bluffing in his recent press conference's and we will have cash. Why would Werner tell us we have the cash a couple of weeks ago and lie it doesn't make sense he knows were not stupid.
So i haven't set the bar high for January at all really hence why i get annoyed when most of the threads are silly rumours.
I'm hoping with our current squad we can get a 5th or 6th spot and I think its possible because i reckon we'll finish above nEverton and Newcastle.
But il be content for now with a win this Saturday.

Hand on heart, wrong owners and wrong manager. We are still a big club, always will be, but the people at the helm are either ripping the [oops] or they are charlatans. Trying to pick out positives or saying we are a couple of players away is simply self pacifying . We are in the same nonsense hole we were in under G&H with RH in charge. It,ll take anothr over haul to change things. All this shiit about suddenly not having transfer money and BR spinning about average perfirmances is just all too familiar.
Sorry lads but they,re done for me. BR and FSG out.

Who can we get that's better though? I can't see us getting a better option bar an oil sheik deciding to buy us. It's not going very smoothly, but it isn't going to happen overnight. I give BR til the end of the season. a 2-1 loss to the team that finished 4th is not gonna make me throw the toys out of the pram. It will take time.

Toys out of the pram . Im also expecting knee jerk, modern fan, internet something or other etc.
I dont like this culture that s developing where speaking out is treated with scorn and contempt. If im right, and i may not be, then we are delaying while the owners continue to speculate anf the manager continues to pick up his salary, at the cost of us genuinely competing and developing.

Thats when the window ends. And this thread would make sense. Listen we have no clue whether were getting 1 or 100 million in Jan, regardless of what FSG, Rodgers or the man on the moon says. We'll see in Jan.
And also KopPophet after reading your posts I really think Carheex was correct about you. Do you talk about things or do you just accuse people of sh!t? Because Bar doesn't slag Rafa like yourself and a couple of the grandad's on here doesn't mean he loves him and if he praises him it doesn't mean he loves him. Yourself, Faz and JoeCool are such hypocrites at times and have such double standards its unbelievable. You're a fine one to talk mate - your posts are all over the place - flipflopping from one minute to the next. Then you accuse everyone on the site as being "thick" and say that we should change the name to "Craptalk." Funny that your proposed drop in standards coincided with your emergence on this site. I've no problem with opinions and at least Carheex sticks to his and you know where he stands. You just blow with the wind.... Come on , you are always accusing carheex of changing his opinion to rile the posters!

Flames, whilst I don't agree with you (yet), I do understand this opinion. However, I suggest that there are times when it's best not to say what you think. We'd become a laughing stock (again) if we got rid of BR now. He hasn't set the place on light and the team is playing well enough, if only just, to justify at least keeping the 'BR out' signs away for now. The key thing is that there's no magic solution. There isn't a single credible alternative option to BR that promises success any quicker or at all. Hence I believe it's in the club's interests to give BR time and space to prove himself one way or th other. That means at least until the end of this season and, barring a disaster, probably next season too. That raises the question, what do we define as disaster? Finishing bottom half of the league might be.

I don't think I know any forums that operate on that criteria...

Make no doubt , lfc is currently a laughing stock already
