One or two players don't win trophies

A squad of players with a manager who can get the best out of them ie
top quality players with a mixture of
young talented players..

And a bit of luck needed....

If I was br... I wud spend the summer kitty widely and use the money from player sales.

Money from Suarez sale i would only us this summer if a top top class wanted to join the club ie
Pogba
Higuain
Varane
Moura etc etc

Or

I wud just bank the money and use it in jan 2015

Which other top teams have spent wisely apart from Chelsea???

Arsenal may be signing Sanchez but that's one player.

Man Utd have spent £33mil on an 18 year old left back, this is a massive gamble!
They have spent £30mil on an unproven Spanish midfielder, who knows how he will perform.

City have signed Fernando and nobody else of note so far.

Spurs haven't signed anyone as far as I'm aware.

I note that you have decided to ignore the signings of Sturridge and Coutinho, also Sakho who I think is going to be an absolute star for us next season.

It's a shame that 'fans' still question the manager who has finally put us back in the Champions League.

I mentioned Ben Davies when we were linked with Moreno.

I still think he would be a good signing. I don't understand why people would want us to spend £20mil on an unproven lightweight Spanish left back and not half that on one who has been brilliant in the premiership for 18months.

Both are young. Both are talented yet one is used to the prem and is unlikely to want to leave should a good Spanish team show interest.

I agree for the most part, but are you really calling Fabregas unproven? He led the prem assist charts for years.

I have a suspicion we are being linked with the likes of Davies and Bertrand because we have made a U'turn on Enrique i was certain he would leave this summer,
But there has been a few articles with him on the LFC website saying things like

"I've been here since last week and I'm really happy - I've been waiting for this moment for so long. I'm feeling great.

"I'm really happy to try to be playing games again. I've been working in the summer and I've been here for the last week. I've been working quite a lot in fitness terms.

"I've been working with the physios; I only stopped for a week but for the rest of the holidays, I have been working because I have to be completely fit for this season."

So i don't think it sounds like he will be leaving which makes me think we will be just buying cover for Enrique and Bertrand and Davies are both proven in the prem.

I want to see Enrique do well. I really like him.

I would've thought it was pretty obvious whats going on in Brendan's head. Assemble a squad that can compete in the league, CL, FA and Carling Cup. In order to do this you need depth in a squad, depth in a squad means not every player signed will be a ''marquee'' signing.
There's 7 or 8 weeks left in the window ffs, bit early for writing off next season maybe?

same here if he stays fit i have no problem with him being our first choice left back

I said which other top teams have spent wisely apart from Chelsea?

Meaning that Chelsea have invested very well in Fabregas and Diego Costa, plus they have Courtois coming back so they already look much stronger.

Buying a player for 25m is not bargain basement shopping and this was done before any potential sale of Suarez
