Now it's definitely 4 from 5 for the CL if Man Utd use this to strengthen.

Liverpool need to replace Gerrard, but are minted in attack for several years to come.

Man City & Chelsea buy their way into contention.

Man Utd will spend heavily and presumably recruit proven top manager.

We need to stay in this pack, as now Liverpool have woken up someone's going to be missing out every season and I'd rather prefer it wasn't us.

Assuming Liverpool play an average of 20 games more next season, what with a decent european run and better progress in the cups, what on earth makes you think they only need to replace Gerrard?

[modd]

their no way that same squard will compete for league

need clear out lots of dross.. glen johnson, moses, apras, alberto, ageing gerrad , lucas and agger.

[R.C. Celebrating the return of Trophies]

95+ goals makes you a cock.

Also only per and sagna have played as many games as Gerrard and Suarez so player fatigue because of extra games as an excuse for our poor finish is also *coughbull****cough*.

The rest of each squads turnout is very similar hovering around mid 20s.

Also, I'm not sure you've taken europe into account at all.

Plus, they've essentially been playing weekend to weekend without the lengthy away trips around Yerp, or even the minor distractions of any decent cup run.

Dont worry, though. I realise this wont be used a stick to beat arsene with.

I mean outrageous as in £100m plus.... not £40,000,001...

[In Arsene we rust]

Aren't they banned from making any transfers until next summer?

[Ashberto]

Arsene with. :-|

that you can win the league without being funded by an oiligarch and therefore we should have done so, while ignoring the fact that they've still enjoyed a lot of free money.

To be fair, some of their better players were not the most expensive, but they fluttered widely, and some paid off.

We can be sure though, that Arsene and the club will be crucified for Liverpool winning the league.
