Guest Cannabis Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Only good vibes and memes in here. Liverpool Football Club is a professional association football club based in Liverpool, Merseyside, England. They compete in the Premier League, the top tier of English football. The club has won 5 European Cups, 3 UEFA Cups, 3 UEFA Super Cups, 18 League titles, 7 FA Cups, a record 8 League Cups, and 15 FA Community Shields. The club was founded in 1892 and joined the Football League the following year. The club has played at Anfield since its formation. Liverpool established itself as a major force in both English and European football during the 1970s and 1980s when Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley led the club to 11 League titles and seven European trophies. Under the management of Rafa Benítez and captained by Steven Gerrard Liverpool became European champion for the fifth time, winning the 2005 UEFA Champions League Final against Milan in spite of being 3–0 down at half time. Liverpool was the ninth highest-earning football club in the world for 2014–15, with an annual revenue of €391 million, and the world's eighth most valuable football club in 2016, valued at $1.55 billion. The club holds many long-standing rivalries, most notably the North West Derby against Manchester United and the Merseyside derby with Everton. * All discussion relating to Liverpool that does not warrant it's own thread (i.e. - players signing new contracts, newspaper clippings etc...) should take place here.

Dr. Gonzo Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 So what do we do with Sturridge, who's just injured himself while recovering from injury? Shades of Harry Kewell and Darren Anderton, who were both talented like our Sturridge... but very injury prone. Sturridge is one of our higher earners, but we simply can't rely on him anymore. I don't trust him to have a form building run of games, because chances are he will get injured. Having said that, if we sell him to another English club... I guarantee he'll constantly fucking score against us. With Firmino out of form playing as a false 9, I'd much rather have Sturridge or Origi... so I think by default, I would like to see Origi start more as we finish this season. Klopp's said we are going to be spending some serious money this summer (although, I think we've spent serious money last season as well). I would like to know if we can develop Origi before we look to bring in new attackers. I think a new left back, defensive midfielder, goalkeeper, and possibly centreback are all needed as well. I think Lovren's alright, but I'd rather have someone more Matip's quality next to Matip. Milner's not a left back and Lucas is totally passed it as a DM, while Can is fucking shit at playing football. Mignolet and Karius are... Mignolet and Karius.

LFCMadLad Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Nothing is as good as the United fans bouncing in the stands, celebrating winning the league... just as Sergio Aguero hits the onion bag in injury time to win it for City. The pictures of the United fans faces as it unfolded that were being broadcast live across the world was quite literally 'priceless'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honey Honey Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Quote The Mirror are claiming that members of the Saudi Arabian royal family are set to visit the UK to announce the deal. This is backed up by a tweet from the Saudi club Al Nassr. The 43-year-old Faisal, who is president of Al Nassr, is the grandson of the late Prince Sultan, who was the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia from 2005 to 2011. Talk of investment from the Middle East has been going around for over a year now and, while FSG have invested in development of the stadium, they don't seem to be as keen to release funds for new players that the club need if they are to improve. Maybe this gives a glimmer of hope that next season we will be able to challenge for the title and Champions League success with a strong squad of capable players.

Tbf those 2 had good managers, while we came in second on the backs of pure talent from Suarez, Sturridge, and Gerrard rather than an astute manager...

I'm not even sure 100% that it'll go ahead anyway, depends on quite a few things I think, the main 2 being weighing up whether the cost of the expansion is worth it for an extra 4,800 seats and also the length of time it would take to expand (around 2 years apparently), which would also cost millions in lost revenue due to the stand needing to be closed. It may well go ahead but it's a lot more complicated than phase one on the main stand, which obviously brings in a lot more money due to the corporate boxes etc and also the small time scale it took to build.

There shouldn't be a ceiling of 60000 or whatever. Liverpool should have a stadium closer to the size of Old Trafford than the Emirates or the Etihad.
