KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum No money excuse is a BIG COP OUT

Yes ok liverpool might not have the money for the big big money signings , but i think the issue of more importance is the dregs we have as back up players to the first 12 or 13 , these players can be bought for not a lot of money some on free transfers , surely there are some players from this gfootballing world who liverpool could buy to give the squad some decent back up we can all trust and believe in , i really worry about the dregs in the squad the degan's the voronin's nogo's and the young players who are not ready yet and might not be ready , plus the prospect of that dossena staying this is the issue which needs to be addressed quickly

...and an issue I'm sure that Rafa and his staff are fully aware of Faz.

If there were so called bargains to be had out there they would know about them, which suggests there isn't such a thing in today's game.
You have to buy promising young players fairly cheaply (and quietly) and hope they live up to your expectations - no guarantees there.

in fact there are no guarantees either in buying proven class players for £££ millions (eg shevchenko) but it's less risky.

Money rules the roost in football today which makes the title of your thread a little confusing Faz, that is unless you can name me a club that with lesser funding is beating its richer rivals... other than Liverpool FC that is

you're making mountains out of mole hills again Emp!!! Venger 10 players for £8m? humm... as usual Emp you pick out individual cases to try and prove your point which is not an exact science is it! You need to look at the bigger picture.

Your hero Venger has bought some real donkies in his time but no one cares to remember those... here's some of his attacking flops for starters: Wreh, Diawara, Mendez, Boa Morte, Reyes and the utterly crap Franny Jeffers - add that little lot up and send me the bill!

if you look at the real figures during Rafa's time so far you'll find the balance to be £110m +/- based on players bought and sold - is that a lot in your book for rebuilding an entire squad?

when you think that on average when we play Chelsea, there 18-man squad costs £70m more than ours, and that their starting XI cost £45m Rafa hasn't done or spent badly.

But Emp, this is going over old ground again and as it hasn't sunk in yet it never will...

LOL! Granted, Venger is pretty good with his signings and my heart bleeds for him having to sell his players and his ar$e to pay his mortgage!
You build him up to be a super man and criticise Rafa for every little error - I just wish Rafa had had the same time, backing and funds Venger had. Still the gooners must be happy with playing luuuurvley football but getting beat by Hull and battling for 4th with the villa's and everton's...

ps Arsenal still beat Liverpool in the wealthiest club table so Venger/Le Arses are obviously losing the plot somewhere - and long may it continue

how can you say that Rafa has had the same time, support and funding as Venger!!!

I'll tell you something Emp, Venger nor Ferguscum would have put up with half the sh1te Rafa has had to deal with - they'd have walked ages ago!

But Rafa is Liverpool's manager, the man who has now got the full support from people inside like Kenny and Sammy, the players and 99% of the fans worldwide. I'm afraid you're stuck with him for a while yet Emp, sorry mate.

ooh you'll be a'dancin in the streets with a twinkle in ya eye and a shalaylee under ya arm the day he goes Emp me boy.

Come on Emp! Is Rafa THAT bad?

hahaha yeah I'd try going for someone without a goatie if I were you!

he's a blond too Emp! you're quids in there I reckon!

Before Arshavin, Wenger's record signing was Sylvan Well-turd...!!! Yeah - sack rafa for buying the italian first choice left back who had a tough time adjusting to the pace of the premiership.

granted, he had a bad season and didn't look like he could hack it... but EVERY manager (including your new fella Arsene Wenger) has bad buys. it's not grounds for sacking.

Ferguson + Veron = 32million. Sack him.

I can't help rising to your poor excuse for an educated opinion Emp. I wish I could.
