How Dry should our Powder be?

Where's all those who spent the past seasons wanking off FSG? New manager, zero players.
How can you honestly post that. (Unless you’re being facetious)

Liverpool have won every trophy there is to win under FSG. I would take them every day of the week ahead of the muppets of owners we have.

They may not have bought anyone yet, but they’re coming at the window from a totally different position to us, and I guarantee they will have a better squad/team than us at the end of the window.
 
Love it top target! Don’t recall anyone going on about solanke last season or earlier in the summer. £65M for someone who has had one good season and all of a sudden he fits Ange’s system. Then why not just get him soon as window opened. That is the biggest counter to this top target BS I keep hearing. If he was then he would have been on that plane to the far east and we wouldn’t have been playing kulu as a false 9. Even richi went and he was injured. Let’s see what he can do but I don’t believe this BS about top target.

The delay in the deal could have been for any number of reasons. It’s annoying how long it took us to get going for senior players but we aren’t alone.

If Liverpool sign a player now after doing nothing all summer that player must have been right down the list for them too?
 
Who else do you think we should go for.

I’ve got no idea. I thought we should have gone balls out for Olise personally. Neto, while I think is a good player, his injuries put me off. I like Mbuemo and have mentioned him a few times in the last year. Not sure if he’s the type of winger Ange likes though but he constantly puts up better numbers than Neto.

I don’t want him but we’ve been linked to sancho in the past and that has gone a bit quiet about him moving from Man U somewhere. I wonder if we will look at him.

I'd test City and Bobb's resolve for sure after Palmer last year. Bobb is going to be a superstar. How much game time will he get at City?

Bobb looks incredible to be fair, I think he is ready now to be one of City’s best attacking players. Unfortunately I think Pep is going to be using him all the time and they won’t sell but if they are considering I would be all over it.

Oscar Bobb along with our Bergvall are probably the top young players to break out this season I would imagine.
 
Looks like we signed the leagues 4th top scorer last season that managed to do it playing for a club that struggle more often than not.

Of the top scorer list last season, who are realistic signings for us?

Solanke (19), Mateta (16), Wood (14), Cunha (12), Hee-chan (12), Wissa (12)...

I'm inspired. He improves our starting 11. By far the best realistic option with Premier League goal scoring experience from last season.
That may be true in terms of numbers and hopefully he can do the same again this season for us. However just think of how much we have spent on forwards richi £60M, Johnson £50M and now solanke £65M add in Werner , Solomon and kulu do you really any combination of those striking fear into our main rivals. Our only proper and most consistent finisher is Son who is 32. To be honest I liked the look of mateta who we could probably have got for a lot less. To be boot we still haven’t improved our creativity. Eze and /or Neto would have done that but looks that is not gonna happen with Neto joining chavs.

But then what does that mean for Grealish? I'd also take Grealish in a heartbeat.
 
He’s a class player when fit though, would have suited Ange’s style. We could have rotated him with Johnson/Moore to reduce injury risk.
Anyone who thinks Neto is not a class player is deluding themselves especially thinking he is not good enough or what we need in a wide player. He is had and shoulders far better than any of the wide men we have and his skills would got the fans out of their seats. A good old spurs type player with lots of skills. Ah well it Werner and Johnson it is then…
