On top of everything they’ve bought recently. Fuck are we doing? Not asking for 100 million Rice or something daft. Just SOMETHING. Lost about 10 players this summer. We won’t make top 8. I’m putting money on it.
Not sure what's happened to kick off your weekend with such negativity, but come on now, it feels like you're losing your head a bit here. We've definitively already done
something by buying Mac Allister, which is more than half the teams in the league. We've lost five players, of whom two can be said to have contributed anything to us last season. We will almost certainly sign at least two more, and while none of us can say for certain that they'll be instant quality that improves us dramatically, I think Klopp has earned the benefit of the doubt that he can take them to the level we need.
Chelsea spent over half a billion to regress in the last year, so your confidence in them overhauling us based on them signing yet more players seems based on little more than Pochettino being a better manager than Potter (agree, but not 20 point swing better) and the equation of "more signings = better team".
Genuinely curious who else you think is nailed on to overtake us for 5-8th - fair enough that last year's top 4 may be unlikely to significantly decline, but are you seeing Spurs racing up the table with all the quality signings they've made to date? Brighton as they lose key players?
At my most negative I could see us coming 6th, if we were unlucky with injuries and Salah dropped off a cliff, and don't necessarily disagree with your pessimism about going up against the cheat clubs (certainly long term), but claiming we won't make top 8 borders on almost wishful thinking.
