KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Bookmaker Slashes Odds Franck Ribery to Liverpool

IF we are in for Ribery, it simply means we have agreed to sell either Alonso or Mascherano.

We could throw in Babel for free

Why would Ribery go to a club that has'nt won the league for 20 years and not likely to when he could sign for Madrid, United or Barcelona even Chelsea are a more attractive possibility than us at present. Am not being negative or putting a downer on things but you have to look at it with your head and not your heart, what would you do if you were a player.

how are chelsea a more attractive prospect? they have no history and they finished behind us in the league, they play boring negative footie. At the end of the season we were tearing teams apart for fun and playing exciting, attractive footie

if he wants to win things then liverpool, united and barca are the best options. If he wants to earn more money then he will join chelsea, madrid or city

Chelsea have more money than us, had a better season last season than us and have won the league twice in the last five seasons thats why they would be amore attractive than us they also have more better players than us. How if he wants to win things is he best playing for us, have you checked our history, we have won one major honour in twenty years, thats nearly a quarter of a century ago do you realise anyone under the age of 30 has probably never seen Liverpool win a league title, please talk sense Liverpool unfortunately are only big in name now and because of what they done 20 odd years ago there is no way top top class players would put us ahead of clubs like United, Madrid or Barca if they want to win things.

But things work in cycles. have some faith man

do you support chelsea????

Thats just bullocks .. why on earth is Chelsea a better option..
even if they have a sugar daddy they are neither a better team or have a better history ..

Just told you why Chelsea are a more attractive option for a player, they have better players more money, have won the Premier league in recent seasons and can offer a player a chance to live and work in London.

chelsea are a small team owned by a rich benefactor - that is only attractive to money grabbers of the kind we don't want or need at our club

as for winning things perhaps you should remember that the biggest competition in club footie is the champions league - we have won that in the last few years (and 4 times previous to that) - chelsea have NEVER won it! that is what foreign players look at when they judge a team - that is why liverpool came to the notice of players like Kun Aguero and Fernando Torres and why we are so attractive to those players

We need to have a reality check here we are no longer the club we used to be, all our success happend nearly a quarter of a century ago it counts for nothing nowadays, players go for money and thats why Chelsea always start as favourites when it comes to getting players before us, they also have the added advantage of being able to offer players London which is a big thing for overseas players. We have won one major trophy in twenty years and that am afraid is the cold hard truth we are no longer what we were, we are still a big club but no longer one of the giants of the game like Barca, United or Madrid.
