There is something wrong with our beloved club

[AnfieldCop]

We have won more than both Man U and Chelsea in the last 5 years, but we are still a bit short of Chelsea in our domestic league. Fortunately we have the best manger in Europe and can achieve our biggest aim - to bring home number 19 , the PL crown. To do that the board has to back Rafa 100%.

 

For the last 12-24 months Rafa has had two main transfer targets (according to Bacombe, Elisha and other) - Alves and Kuyt.

 

We finally had to forget about Alves this summer because we couldn't afford to buy both him and a decent forward (Kuyt?). We had to go for Pennant instead (6-8 mill) and save money for the forward. Hopefully we could finally land Kuyt for 10 mill or so.

 

Now it seems like we can't afford a 10 mill striker neither. What the fu(k is happening. The board has promised Rafa that he will get his wishes, but does he - NO.

 

I know we have to forget about buying players like Torres, Villa, Schevchenko and others, but what he asks for is 22 mill for two main players.

 

To be honest I fear that we will struggle to get into the top 4 this season. If Rafa do not get what he wants we can loose him sooner rather than later.

[Spike]

where do you get the idea we can't afford Kuyt from?

Please tell me you are joking, our squad is really strong, the players are hungry, the manager is the best, just enjoy this season!

Elisha said so two days ago. We have to sell at least players for 4-5 mill (Dudek, Traore, Kromkamp, FSP ?). I can't see that happening before the deadline. Bascombe has also stated this.

 

I fear that we will "lose" both players, before we get the money maybe next summer ??

what a load of tripe

[Sion]

That is just a summary of all the stupid uninformed posts made in the various transfer thread, well done on such a crap post.

[Guest Jack Bauer]

Struggle to get in top 4? f***ing hell.

[AnfieldCop]

Please tell me you are joking, our squad is really strong, the players are hungry, the manager is the best, just enjoy this season!

 

I hope we can, but we were extremely lucky with injuries last season. What is happening if we lose Stevie, Xabi and Crouchy for some matches.

 

By the way, are your friend happy with the clubs transfer activity

we finished top 4 last season , have strengthened , so now we will struggle for top 4 ? Come on , in an ideal world we could sign anyone we wanted , that would not neccesarily make the best team , nowhere near as much as togertherness, team spirit , tactics , support , worlds best manager (Rafa) , worlds best player (stevie) , Millions cant buy everything . Can't wait for this season to be honest , think were gonna be closer than people think

I reckon, Rafa being a master tactician and all, that he will use some of the other squad members and not just field a team of eight players in those matches.

Now I worry, the players don't get enough to eat.

have you been drinking or are you off your anti depression meds?

 

ever considered that Rafa will not pay over the odds for players over valued by their clubs?

 

maybe he does not want a repeat of Diouf, Diao, Cisse. All players that we overpaid for and have got rid of.

We're going to WIN the Premiership, so shut your nonsense up mate.

Well, we have Gonzalez, Kewell, Zenden, Sissoko, Garcia, Pennant, Fowler and Bellamy as options for the front 6 without them 3, not too bad is it?

Stunningly daft post flying in the face of the evidence on the field - and we're already stronger than last season!

You a funny man crackhead.

Erm, until 6 months ago our top two targets were a CB and RM. We bought (apparently our first choice) CB in January and maybe we missed out on our first choice RM in Alves, but you can't really argue we've been after him for 2 years considering we were after Figo, Simao before him.

[mooks]

You a funny man crackhead.

Your criticism is way OTT.

 

It's not a bad post - but I think Mr. Cop is unaware of two things that are probablly going on:

 

1. Bascombe puts out club spin in order to get fairly liberal access to information. The club obviously want to give the impression they don't have much to spend.

 

2. Rafa won't pay over his valuation of a player irespective of how much money has been made available to him.

 

But we're going to get Kuyt anyway so the concerns will become redundant in a few days.

What if the squad suffers from a virus for the whole season?!? It's possible you know (see, the Spurs food poisoning incident)!!! WE WILL BE RELEGATED!!!!!!

 

Oh and by the way, I'd love to hear how your mates are feeling about the coming season?

[Senrab_nhoj]

But they are people

 

Given their views on the summer transfers to date I am struggling to reconcile that statement

FAO of AnfieldCop. Stay away from these today, if we don't muller Kaiserslautern 5-0.
