KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Who else has strengthened from the top 4?

So, amidst all this talk of our chances in the upcoming season, and many claims that others will strengthen more than us or as much as us, having in mind the window is still open, who else from those above us has strengthened as much as us?

I think we have strengthened quite a bit an with claims from the LFC camp that we will now be moving for players who will strengthen the starting 11, I expect one or two quality signings to come. So, who else from the top 4 has strengthened as much? Or do we believe that so far, LFC has made the biggest improvements to the squad as a whole?

Can someone tell me how we are looking compared to utd, Chelsea, spurs and arsenal in this window? I believe arsenal are yet to sign a player, utd signed a youngster from Uruguay, don't know who Chelsea have signed and I believe spurs signed Paulinho.

Have we been better than them transfer wise so far in this window? Obviously final judgement will have to be reserved for when the window closes....

City have made two big signings one a central midfielders that's supposed to be very good and another a winger. They paid big money for them. The CM with toure is supposed to be quite a force this season.

Spurs have signed the powerhouse Brazilian Paulino who looks a bit good, I think we are looking at signings by other clubs in the wrong way as the Clubs above us except maybe Everton dont need as much work spending, just players for maybe 2 or 3 positions. I think ourselves Everton, West Brom, Stoke and Fulham need about 6 player positions to be improved if we are to get a top four place.

The biggest signing for Spurs will be keeping Bale as the club as it will be for us keeping Suarez. Chelsea will sign another striker, Arsenal will sign a couple of quality players and so will Utd (especially if Rooney moves).Who are we signing- Joey Barton?

dont really think Spurs need much to there first eleven, the have a quality goalie in the French number one, good, solid defence with Pace in Kyle Walker and the best defender in the league in Vortingen, midfield is quality with Bale and Lennon and the powerful Paulino if they get Soldado up front or whatever his name is they will seriously challenge Arsenal next season depending on who the Gooners sign.

It's probably rubbish, but from what I have been reading Arsenal are struggling seriously to sign players as they are being turned down, which doesn't bode too well for us either. I think spurs will keep Bale, which I agree would be a huge coup for them and Lloris as their goalie is a big coup. I wanted us to get him when the Reina rumours started.

I really don't know anything about Paulinho so I can't judge. As far as city are concerned though, I think Yaya Toure is still the key for them, when he plays and is in form, they are a completely different beast. Without him they look very tame in midfield despite the big names.

City with 2 expensive players for I think 45m and both Spurs and Chelsea with 1 player each for 18m or so. Looking at the game today, i didn't see a huge improvement to our squad, Aspas played ok, Alberto looked weak, the best players being Coutinho, Sterling, Agger, Hendo, Ibe. Still early days but I think only Aspas will go in the starting 11 (but I hope not as a replacement of Suarez as don't think he is better) and Mignolet might give reina some competition.

Yeah Vish, but we weren't playing with a full strength squad today either, so perhaps with better quality around them, Alberto and some of the others might look better as well.

They were playing Preston to put things in perspective

Vish, did you watch the game today? What did you make of Aspas and Alberto?
did Toure get a run out?
