Isak wasn't a ready made guaranteed to get you goals. He was a very good striker but a calculated risk who came from another league, but I would say he's worked out ok.

Other teams seem to be able to identify talent from overseas and make them work as well. It's a fucking nonsense!

The PL is far more like other continental leagues now than it ever was and players are protected from the physicality that originally defined the PL - that was often the make or break. 

 

 

 

Almost no PL clubs buy strikers proven to score goals here. Proven to score goals somewhere else, maybe.

Their net spent over the past 5 years is lower than ours, when we're talking about transfer fees. The thing is they have sold players for a good fee aswell (Mane and Fabinho for instance). Going back further, to 2017 when they bought Salah, they also sold Coutinho for 135 mill euros. That's less than the price they paid for van Dijk and Salah combined in that very same window.

 

I look at that Liverpool team of players and what they're achieving, and it doesn't look completely impossible for us to achieve.

 

The massive call they made to hand over the keys to Michael Edwards, which apparently came at the cost of losing Klopp, looks like it's going to pay off big time for them.

 

We need to get our recruitment in order. Both selling and buying at the right time, and adequately filling out the squad so it is much better balanced.

 

I think Howe has the potential as a manager too, but that will all depend on how open minded he is to the changes we need to make in recruitment, and also if he can continue to develop tactically.

Can’t even remember the last time it happened to be fair.

If we're talking any club, then Solanke. Could mention a couple of older players like Wood and Ings aswell. Ings obviously didn't work out, though.
