#LFC
have spent almost £300m net less than Arsenal over the past five seasons.
Let that sink in. £300m less, and Arsenal had no Champions League football during that time.
Time for Top Reds to wake up.
So let me get this straight,
#LFC
could have signed Ugarte and Gvardiol - the best young DMC and centre-back in the world - for about £130m. And we didn't go in for either of them?
Criminal.
So
#LFC
's midfield squad is:
Thiago
Hendo
Mac Allister
Szoboszlai
Bajcetic
Jones
Elliott
Hendo is probably off, Thiago can barely string two games together and Elliott is a liability in midfield.
Anyone who says we don't need at least three mids if Hendo leaves is crackers.
Why is it every other f*cking club that gets investment and exciting superstar signings?
Why are
#LFC
always shopping in the bargain bin, despite being one of the biggest and richest clubs in the world?
#FSGOUT
City lose Gundogan and replace him with Kovacic.
They lose Laporte and replace him with Gvardiol.
They lose Mahrez and replace him with Doku.
#LFC
replace Fabinho and replace him with Endo.
Make it make sense.
FSG have NEVER signed a single player over £60m without immediately recouping the cash through player sales. Not once, in 11 years. So don't tell me we're going to be signing players like Bellingham and Rice in the summer. Who are we going to flog to pay for it?
#LFC
needed a massive rebuild and have signed Mac Allister, Szoboszlai and Endo, and have lost 11 players.
Man City have just won the treble and have signed Kovacic and Gvardiol and are about to sign Doku, and have lost 7 players.
Make it make sense.
Well that's that then.
3/10 window for
#LFC
for me, but I'm not somebody who is happy with 4th or 5th. I want the club to be winning league titles.
Mac Allister and Szobo are very good signings. Top notch.
Endo is absolute shite. Nowhere near good enough. 1/2
There are two main reasons why the Saudis are targeting
#LFC
players:
1. It weakens Liverpool and gives Newcastle and Chelsea a better chance of Champions League qualification (they own Newcastle and invest in Chelsea).
2. They know FSG love money.
How can Arsenal, the non-state owned, non-Champions League team for 6 years, afford to lash out big contracts to star players, spend £200m+ this summer and £600m+ over the last few windows, and yet
#LFC
need to find crafty clauses and take out loads to spend £95m?
@CassandraRules
Spot on.
I always ask pro-Israeli people this question:
"If a foreign nation like, say, Germany, ordered you and your family out of your home so that a Welsh family could steal it, would you be standing with Wales?"
They simply can't answer it truthfully.
Liverpool Football Club should be going balls out to get the absolute best manager in the world. Not scraping the bottom of the barrel for losers like Slot, De Zerbi and Thomas Frank. End of.
Real Madrid's young talent: Bellingham, Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, Tchouameni, Camavinga, Guler.
#LFC
's young "talent": Bradley, Ramsay, Van den Berg, Morton, Elliott, Jones, Doak and Gordon.
Levels.
Our big rebuild so far:
Mac Allister for £35m, which will be covered by the Fab fee.
Szobo for £60m, which was covered by a loan.
£30-40m a year saved on wages.
Meanwhile, Arsenal drop £200m after finishing 2nd.
Gvardiol - £85m
Ugarte - £55m
Kim Min-Jae - £45m
Caicedo - £75-80m
Rice - £105m
All available, all within the budget of a normal big club. And most would have loved to join LFC.
Absolutely criminal that we haven't been in for any of these players.
Criminal.
A deal for Jude Bellingham will cost £220-250m over five years, Inc wages, bonuses and agents fees. About the same as Haaland. Anyone who thinks FSG are paying that is deluded.
#FSGOUT
Honestly, the state of some of our fans.
Hyping the like sof Doucoure, Lavia and Amrabat like they're world-class, elite DMCs. Embarrassing.
Is it only me who DEMANDS LFC sign the best players to compete for league titles and Champions Leagues?
Feels like it sometimes.
To compete in the Premier League, you need investment. Newcastle have spent over £200m so far, and they're just getting started. FSG need to wake up or f**k off.
#FSGOUT
#LFC
's great rebuild has amounted to 2 good midfielders with release clauses, an old and sub-standard midfielder and a net spend of about £50m.
And by the end of the season, the net spend will be £0 due to the wages saved.
Pathetic.
#FSGOUT
Top Reds are absolutely obsessed with living in the past.
#LFC
won a league title four years ago, so it's all good. We don't need silly signings or anything like that.
We already won a treble under Joe Fagan. No need to do that again.
The state of some of our fans...
Let's make this absolutely f*cking clear:
#LFC
are not signing Waturu Endo because they think he's brilliant; they're signing him because he's cheap, and because they can make money from his Japanese following.
End of.
SoS need calling out as well. Absolute scum.
They're pissing their pants about prices going up a quid, and yet you won't hear a peep out of them about FSG's lack of investment. They're a disgrace.
If you love LFC, you're not a member of SoS.
I hope ticket prices rise 5000%.
#LFC
fans are as bad as Man Utd fans for forgetting about the owners after a few good results.
We've had a good start to the season, and suddenly
#FSGOUT
is nowhere to be seen. We're the same as Yanited fans with their Norwich scarves.
@PrimeHendo
The Gakpo goal was correctly ruled out. Unintentional play by the defender.
Mings touched the ball and it was clumsy, but not a red. Orange for me.
Hendo went down fat too easily. Never a pen.
All decisions just about right IMO.
There are three reasons why FSG are interested in Slot:
1. The release clause will be cheap.
2. His wages will be low.
3. He's used to working with bargain bin players.
Some
#LFC
fans need to give themselves a slap.
4th/5th is NOT acceptable for Liverpool Football Club. Never has been and never will be.
Wake the f*ck up.
So far for this grand "rebuild" we've heard so much about, our net spend is £55m. Absolutely pathetic.
Sooner FSG get out of OUR club, the better.
#FSGOUT
Gravenberch is a decent player, but he's not what we need. He's an 8; we needed a 6. Possibly a case of the right player at the wrong time. And he'll expect to play a LOT of games.
No CB or RB. Criminal. Absolutely criminal.
3/10 is fair IMO. Maybe 4/10 at a push.
@AnfieldEdition
@JamesPearceLFC
Absolute joke of a club. We'll be looking to offload Konate and Diaz next.
One of the world's richest clubs having to sell a backup goalkeeper and centre-back for about £35m combined, just so they can make a bid for Sander Berge. SMH
@ShaunlfcT
No. He's just a winner who will do anything to get three points or get his hands on a trophy. Don't matter if he's playing football or Tiddlywinks, you just know he'll want to win at all costs.
Love that attitude TBH. We need it.
I'll always be
#FSGOUT
. They're a disgrace. Look at that squad. It's paper thin. We're an injury or two away from Jones and Elliott starting in midfield.
I don't care about 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th. It's all the same: failure. I want league titles and Champions Leagues.
My advice is to block every single Top Red account you come across. Every. Single. One.
Eventually it will be just them, guzzling Henry cum in a dark room, while the real experts and
#LFC
fans bring about change at OUR club.
Dunno where all this "Bare Minimum FC" is coming from, because what FSG are doing isn't even close to minimum.
For me, bare minimum would have been Ugarte, Gvardiol, Mac Allister and Bellingham, and a serious title challenge.
I won't lower my standards for FSG.
@DameDeadAF
"Soccer" is the biggest sport on Earth. Has been for decades. The most famous "soccer" players will always be the biggest stars. Only American "sport" worth watching is wrestling.
FSG super-fans are out in force this morning, blaming every BUT FSG.
They're a truly pathetic species. ONE league title in 14 years. ONE. FACT.
Nowhere near good enough.
@StePlunk
Utter nonsense.
1. The club paid for the redevelopment of Anfield.
2. Selling Coutinho paid for Alisson and VVD.
3. Best position ever? What are you smoking? We're miles behind the top teams now.
4. 1 league title in 12 years is NOT success.
5. The Glazers are better owners.
@ericksmith
@FabrizioRomano
I don't know why people seem to think Madrid have no money; they have plenty. More than enough to buy Mbappe. They're not as rich as they were, but they're not in trouble like Barcelona.
@AnfieldEdition
@JamesPearceLFC
If we truly can't afford to spend more than £40m per season without selling some players, we're finished. Newcastle, Man United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Man City can spend 4x that, and even Villa and Spurs can outspend us.
Sick and tired of hearing
#LFC
fans use Man City's wealth as an excuse for our failures.
Signing crap players like Davies, Kabak and Arthur has nothing to do with Man City's wealth: it's all down to our lack of ambition, arrogance and stupidity.
@Corballyred
De Jong all day. Imagine De Jong and Bellingham in that LFC midfield, with Gakpo, Salah and maybe Maddison behind Nunez. Would be some side.
Unfortunately, there's the FSG factor.
@petelad_lfc2021
IMO, that's where it all started to go pear shaped.
Yes, I know we won the league the season after, but failing to strengthen while on top has led us to this point now. It was also the worst summer window by a Champions-League winning team, ever.
@sportingintel
Oh come on. I know you despise Man City, but literally every club has an embarrassing minority of fans.
Your tweet is clearly driven by an agenda. Not a good look.
@AnfieldRd96
As I've said time and time again, it's a different mentality. We're losers, others are winners. And we've got two more wasted years of losing and bottling matches.
@michaelevansuk
1 league title in 12 years of ownership? For a club the size of Liverpool? That's pathetic, and it's why true fans want them gone. We want MULTIPLE titles and European Cups. We're Liverpool Football Club, not some non-entity that should settle for 4th place.
@Bd_irB_ll
Milan are a proper football club. Liverpool, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and AC Milan are THE four clubs IMO. None of this 115 or selling your car park in Madrid for £800m to the Spanish government and renting it back for peanuts.
@Dave_Comerford
FSG have NOT invested in the infrastructure; the club have. FSG loaned Liverpool the money, and have prioritised the repayment of that loan above player recruitment.
Also, I wouldn't call 1 league title in 13 years a success. It's abject failure.
This new setup at Liverpool is a disaster waiting to happen.
Every successful team in the history of football has had a manager who plays an integral role in the recruitment process.
Do you think Pep, Wenger, Mourinho and Fergie had no say in signing players?
@danroan
Imagine being so passionate about a cause that you don't wear an armband because a little man dressed in black might wave a yellow card at your captain. Pathetic.
@Corballyred
Madrid. All day every day.
I don't see why an ambitious young player with the world at his feet would want to join a club that every knows is regressing, lacks ambition, won't win titles and won't pay big money to sign world-class players.
Madrid are the exact opposite of us.
@cxllumlfc100
Lost count of the number of errors in this tweet.
1. Not our worst season ever.
2. FSG's lack of investment is the main problem.
3. Klopp won't have a war chest. It will be a net spend of about £40m.
4. If Klopp were sacked, FSG would be exposed very, very quickly.
@AhmedShaaban3m
@duffy24fit
@charles_watts
The ignorance in this thread is incredible. It's an honour for Messi to be presented with a Besht and I'm glad he wore it. The disrespect shown to this country is a disgrace.
"Ambitious Arsenal".
Even more than super-wealth, that's what
#LFC
lack. Arsenal almost win the title and spend £200m+ on strengthening their squad.
We win the CL and sign Van den Berg, Adrian, Lonergan and Minamino.
Unforgivable that window. Unforgivable.
Some of the nonsense these brown nosing ITKs are spewing is absolutely hilarious.
FSG are running
#LFC
into the ground, and their penny-pinching ways have killed Klopp's legacy. End of.
@LFCTransferRoom
@marca
Liverpool most definitely CAN afford them both. If Arsenal can spend £200m+, so can we. The problem with FSG is that "can" and "will" are miles apart.
The state of this take.
Imagine telling Shankly, Paisley or Fagan to lower their expectations because another team is good.
The f*cking state of that.
Get out of my club. This is Liverpool Football Club FFS.
People need to lower their expectations.
We’re miles behind City and as good as our signings have been, we’re not going to close a 22 point gap from last season.
We’ll be far better than last season but reckon 3rd is about right. Back in Top 4 and a trophy will be decent.
There is simply no succession planning at
#LFC
.
VVD is 32 and is clearly on the downward slope. Salah will be 32 at the end of the season, and he won't be able to maintain his amazing goals and assists levels for too much longer.
How are we going to replace them?
More home truths, whether you like it or not:
Klopp has done a very good on a relatively limited budget. Can't think of too many managers who could have done the same while being outspent by West Ham.
But he's not one of the greats like Fergie, Pep, Mourinho or even Wenger.
@_JakeeLFC_
That's why I want City to win everything.
Crazy that some LFC fans want Arsenal to win the league. They literally wanted our league title to be null and void.
Arsenal's net spend over the past five seasons:
2022-23
Net spend: 170m
2021-22
Net spend: 130m
2020-21
Net spend: 70m
2019-20
Net spend: 110m
2018-19
Net spend: 70m
Total: 550m net
Liverpool's is 262m net for the same period.
And that's with all those trophies LOL.
I'm not entertaining a single fan who says that Nunez is a quality striker, because he isn't. He's a Bournemouth level striker. Actually, I would rather have Solanke back.
Nunez is crap and needs booting out in the summer. We should be all over Ivan Toney for under £60m.
@Dave_Comerford
I wish people would get it out of their heads that FSG have invested in the infrastructure of the club. They really haven't. They haven't put a dime into the club since they bought it. EVERYTHING is done via low-interest loans.
@AnfieldLeak
That's because they have ambitious owners who want to build a dynasty of success and dominance.
We have owners who are out to line their pockets while investing the bare minimum.
@SeanDOlfc
You clearly don't know ball. Maradona constantly had people trying to break his ankles. He was marked by 3 or 4 players every game. He was an attacking midfielder. And he still produced this:
All these FSG toe suckers make me chuckle.
We've won ONE league title in 14 years of ownership. ONE. It's pathetic. Would Barcelona fans put up with that? Or Bayern Munich? Or Real Madrid? No. So why should we?
These spoofer owners need to be driven out of our club.
Once again,
#LFC
always settling for second best.
Could have got Bellingham, instead got Mac. Could have got Ugarte, instead will sign a bang average bargain bin player like Lavia.
And yet fans still lap up FSG's BS.
Thank God I now have a platform where I can air my views.
