General Transfer Thread Summer 2023

[Joetan991]

I think Negative/Positive thinking doesn't related fans complaining about FSG.

I also believe the main different between us and City is we always step behind in recruitment and City always one step forward.

City always find replacement before things get worst, we always wait until when team couldn't handle it

CD few years back, CM last season and more, those were really cost us badly.

DM is the one of the most important position now under current formation for most of the big teams, Rodri, Caicedo, Rice... they won't cost big for nothing. And we do not have one, I mean proper one.

We all can see Mac Allister is strugging at DM, Endo is just a Milner replacement, Bajcetic? besides injury, come more, this kid need more rest, good care instead of playing week in week out as DM.

We are lucky at this point, a point behind champion but if we do not act fast this time, would be another year watching City lifting up the trophy again.

I figure out LFC formation problem as a Fan, it is nothing related to positive or negative minded. Of course nothing we changed by moaning here, but here is a fan page, we speak our opinion, fcck the Owner, this is not a meditation enlightenment page.

Man City can afford to be incredibly proactive in the market partly down to their financial doping to be fair. We have seen Pep constantly buy full-backs and for all his work in that department, two of the titles they won over us came down to a solitary point, with questionable refereeing decisions arguably influencing things as much as the transfer market did. I will happily accept that we have held onto players too long at times though.

As to a DM and the Mac Allister situation, we'll see. So many of us are determined to see a DM come in and yet we have conceded fewer goals in the League than Man City, Man United, Chelsea, Tottenham or Newcastle - and are level with Arsenal in this department.

Bear in mind that we have spent more time reduced to 10 men than any other side. So perhaps the need isn't as pressing as we feel it is as a fanbase. Our midfield recruitment has ended up getting us players that can receive the ball and get it forward accurately and this will hopefully lead to more chance creation, with goals scored potentially acting as a counter against chances being conceded. Hard to say.

So Man City's success is purely down to Pep?

That and the fact they have half a billion worth of talent on the bench each game...
