Well we didn’t buy many players from abroad in those days (60’s & 70”s) imadk, but the players mentioned were pretty much superstars in the UK at the time they came to us.

Imadk is correct....IMO.

Liverpool have never bought the best in the world the peles etc but they have always been in the market for top talent and have competed at the very top of British football

Until now

We are still in the market for top talents and missing out on the title by a point seems like competing at the top level of british football to me.

I am meaning buying players I accept the more you pay does not mean the better you do. We were fortunate last year Rodgers did extremely well and got the very best out of and brought young players on. But let's remember most of the new signings hardly played with the exception of the goalkeeper. Were it not for Rodgers brilliance FSG could have been in big trouble.

I think the players need to take credit as well as the manager. Especially the ones that really stepped up their game to a new level. It's ok the manager saying the right things but ultimately it's down to the players to do the business. Rodgers has a lot of resources that go un-noticed other than financial . Eg his team.. Steve peters etc.

But I do accept Stanley that we can't always over exceed expectation like last season and now is really a good time to be capitalising on the fact we are in the champions league again and sign players that will make sure we stay there and who knows what else more.
