They are CL players on CL fees wanting CL wages wanting to play in the CL.
The sooner people realise that we won't get those players the better for everyone.
The top teams are our not competition at the moment
We came 8th last season - not 4th or even 5th.
We are currently a mid table team that needs to rebuild
surely you don't think benny that either Athletico or Dortmund are paying those guys a fortune.
falcao we dont stand a chance of because that deal will be all about silly money, but reus i think is definitely a player we could and should go for.not all players are concerned only about money.reus is young, and for him a move to a much better league would be pefect. we are a young side improving all the time,the style we play and he'd be a guaranteed starter.he'd fit the fsg model perfectly and we can well afford to spend 20mil on him and pay him 70 a week.
your right we did finish off the top 4 three seasons straight but the stats are enough to show that we create enough to be in the top 4 comfortably if we only had someone who could convert all those chances we create.
we have been rebuilding and have a completely different side than 3 years ago so how long more do you think that process needs to be.
imo we could be three players off being title contenders in two years if we sign players like reus over hooper. we have enough youth in the squad thats not experienced and he would bring that.in 3 years he could be worth 3 times what we paid.
we have finished outside top 6 for too long so rodgers must start bringing us up and fenway need to back him.if they back him with a few signings like reus then we will only go up but if we sign players like hooper then i fear we could very well end up in 2-3 years with a team that resembles wigan.
im not knocking hooper either as he has a decent record at his current and last club but they are no where near the level of the prem.
