I’d have Mount, Kante, Havertz, Pulisic over Origi , Shaqiri, Keita & Oxlade

What the fuck is this comparison?

Fromola · « **Reply #722 on:** July 30, 2021, 04:44:26 pm »

City and Chelsea have the strongest squads, which is why they tend to dominate the domestic cups every year. Along with United they've had the most money spent on them.

Is there much being discussed about a prolonged variant outbreak leading to empty stadiums and even more decreased transfer budgets?

Happy Birthday

Origi , Shaqiri, Keita & Oxlade > Brown, Bunton, Halliwell & Beckham

Chisholm would make our bench.

We’ve joked about Pedri etc… but Barca have yet to offload anyone.

Vey soon, they will have no choice but to sell someone, and as such we may be able to take grotesque advantage of them.

It would be delicious to take advantage of them like that

If we're comparing squads:

I honestly wouldnt swap our squad for any of them. Chelseas is particularly embarrassing considering the ridiculous amount of deadwood they have, and United not far behind.

Have to say our squad does hold up very well to the rest. Man Utd are looking stronger though.

Chelsea & Man Utd seem to just stack up players . Lots of deadwood in there squads.

We done good work to get rid of some our players.

Quite strange City are not targetting a CM considering they lost the CL final in part because they had no balance in their side with only one true CM.

But would you have Mount, Kante, Havertz, Pulisic over Thaigo, Fabinho, Salah and Jota.

Surely that's more comparable. You've basically compared definite 1st team starters for Chelsea (maybe Pulisic is borderline) with players who are 5th and 6th choice forwards and 4th and 5th choice midfielders in our squad.

You surely see that it's not a fair comparison. Also comparisons on an holistic basis are better for comparing overall squad depth. What you have done could be argued as slightly biased to try and create an impression that Chelsea's squad is better than ours.

New contract for Trent. Shows how closely the club plays its cards to their chest, was tipped to get one but was said to behind the likes of Ali, Fabinho, Salah and Virgil...

England's 4th choice right back becoming one of our best paid players is a joke. No wonder we can't afford to buy anyone.

Probably a good job for him his agent led the negotiations. Opening with "this is my dream job, can't believe I get to do it everyday" May have weakened his position a little! 😁

Give him a 1 year contract and then renegotiate cos he'll be 30 by then.

Bear in mind that bearings need oil.
And guess who has the most oil in the world?
Whose oil can be used to fund both wages and transfer fees as well as shady agent fees?

Yes, Bran, Bran Stark, that's who.

Alisson Becker, Virgil van Dijk, Sadio Mane, Jordan Henderson, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah all have two years left on their current Liverpool deals and there is an expectation that at least two of those players will not sign new contracts.

Kevin Palmer (not the most reliable, but backs up what others have said).

If I was guessing, it'll be Henderson and Firmino that don't get one. Rumours already about Henderson not getting a long contract and Firmino isn't as invaluable now as he was.

Suspect it is Bobby and Mane, there has been noise about the others at least in actual negotiations for contracts. The stuff from Hendo's camp doesn't seem too promising though
