What do you think, how many teams have a better squad than Liverpool? (If its more than 4 how could top 4 be minimum?)
Top 4 is a minimum for all 6 teams because they all have the quality for top 4. That's what makes the league competitive. As the teams are evenly matched, managerial tactics will decide which 4 make it to the CL, and thus Klopp, Jose etc are judged accordingly.
I thought Pogba was £95 million with addons? If Pogba was £89m then VVD is £70m surely? Transfers have to be valued in the same scheme, base figure or inc addons.
Ok, maybe you can see it that way.
For me top 6 would be minimum. Would be kind of odd for 6 Teams to have top4 as a minimum goal. That would mean every year at least 2 teams wouldnd archieve their minimum goal.
And 70m is still a huge amount and still makes Klopp a massive hypocrite.
yeah so they've failed, that's life. 3 teams (City, United and Chelsea) should be aiming to win the league every season and if they don't they've not hit their minimum goal
Well in this case he deserves to be called a hypocrite. Agree?
So winning the league is the minimum, ok.
Not every team achieves their minimum goal, do you honestly think any of the top 6 see 5th or 6th as a goal rather than a feck up?
No add ons with Pogba. He was 89m. Not sure when you got the extra 6 from.
Totally agree, you set targets to reach and achieve, not make them so that they are achievable in the first place. It’s this new age of everyone’s a winner.
Liverpool’s target is obviously top 4 and not 6th, that’s a minimum target for them, same as spurs, arsenal and possibly us.
if they don’t make it they fail, pretty simple.
yes, it's an elite sport played by elite sportsmen who are paid a fortune, first target for any elite club is to win their league, do you honestly think Barca or Real specify 2nd as a minimum?
The man's an absolute idiot.
Thank God we didn't get this embarrassment in charge of United.
Yeah, because Jose is definitely not a hypocrite.
And he's definitely not an embarrassment at all
Liverpool back to their usual drill. But when Coutinho goes it'll be the usual cloaking it with "net spend" talk.
After losing Coutinho they are still a midfield away and a defence away from title contenders. Being these teams below the financial elite is quite the problem, you try to build a side only to see it cut up then you have to rebuild again. Make no mistake about it, winning the league with Spurs, Pool or Arsenal is a different kettle of fish compared to winning ot with us, City or Chelsea.
Yeah, realistically this is the absolute most mental fee ever made in Football. Compare to the Pogba fee which he was so against and basically said he'd quit football if he had to do it. Pogba came from a European giant and one of the best 3-4 teams in world football and has won plenty and has genuine world class ability and is one of the most marketable players in the sport for 89m and VVD came from a mid table selling club, has won nothing, is a solid defender but not near world class and not marketable for 75m. Realistically if VVD is 75m then I think Pogba's closer to the Neymar fee.
Who said that?
Good for you to defend a Liverpool manager while bashing your own.
The 'fans' we have on the forum these days.
Amazing. Every time I think I've seen everything something new comes up.The 'fans' we have on the forum these days.
Calm down precious, I haven’t defended Klopp, his statements make him look like a bellend. But no more so than Jose, who’s also very prone to hypocrisy, so to defend one and attack the other seems pretty hypocritical in itself to me.The 'fans' we have on the forum these days.
Excuse me for not conforming to your sheeplike image of what a proper fan looks like.
Jesus Christ what does Jose got to do with this?
You despise our manager. You wouldn't know a fan if one punched you in the mouth.
Borden can't pass up any chance to have a go at the manager of the club he claims to support.
About on par with the rest of your contributions.Aww, someone doesn't like your boyfriend? How awful
Yeah, for someone who seems to measure "contribution" by how much someone kisses Mourinho's ass I surely must look pretty bad. But I can live with that.
At least you concede that you look bad. You also appear to be around 12 years old. "Boyfriend"
FFS.
Not sure why the Scouse won't admit this
I think you have your answer here.
Cant wait for Lukaku to bully VVD at OT
I’m not sure why Pogba’s fee is relevant here.
18 months ago fees were no where near as inflated as they are now. Everything exploded in the last window.
We’ve overpaid but it’s not as extreme as some are making it out to be.

When´s that supposed to happen? During Liverpool corners or will United leave their own half this time?

Come off it. You're usually quite reasonable but no way on earth is VVD worth 75m pounds.
1) No resale value
2) No premium on potential as he's almost 27
3) No real European pedigree
4) No real international pedigree
5) Only 60 or so PL games to his name
You've probably paid double his actual value.
Yeah you wouldn't be you not to take a chance of a cheap shot at Mourinho. At least you're consistent.
I mean what has he got with the whole thing, Klopp thread about Klopp speaking bollocks but no. Jose needs to get a mention.
