For others though, especially players on the continent who have always idolised Real Madrid, rather than any clubs in England (i.e Fabio Coentrao, Eden Hazard etc), the prospect of the Reds right now is less attractive, especially after finishing 6th and 7th in the last two seasons and without the chance of playing in Europe’s top tier competition. Players such as Coentrao, Hazard, Mata, Aguero etc may see Liverpool as a great club but not the right move for them at a time in their careers where they want to be winning trophies rather than being part of a rebuilding process.
Liverpool, at the moment, is in the middle of reconstruction; it takes time and mistakes will be made; patience from fans is crucial. Of course, fans are right to criticise if they believe the club are purchasing players deemed not good enough for the club, but they shouldn’t be demanding some of the players they are currently. In the modern world, people demand instant gratification and it is the same in football. The trend is for managers to get less and less time in the hot seat, and for fans to get less and less patient with their club’s progress. We have had a dark couple of years, let’s just appreciate what we have.

well said
Some sense at last. Superb. YNWA
There’s no trend. I wouldn’t say Liverpool fans have gotten more impatient. It’s just that we tend to know s**t when we see it – eg. Roy Hodgson. When you’re going down the wrong road in the first place, the solution is not to be patient and keep going.
That said, we don’t necessarily need star names either. The successful Liverpool teams of past decades weren’t built on stars. Sure, we bought a few big names, but most them started off as average players from average clubs. They became stars at Liverpool.
Has this been written after my comments in the other thread on Downing? It is exactly what is said.
Completely agree, the difference between us and Spurs will be that once we get Champions League we can upgrade some of our lesser players to World class as we’ll have the finances and the attraction of being Liverpool. Spurs have stood still, Arsenal have stood still, we’re coming to get you boys !!
Exactly
Great Article best I’ve read for yonks!
Some very good comments & makes a change from the usual s**te I have been reading.
Well! Everyone has been coming up with different opinions&views after series of dissection of the scenario at Lfc. As for me I have no problem with anybody’s opinion but what I’ll say is ‘Dalglish had better know what he’s doing. This approach of his had better work 4 him” cos it’s not gonna be funny lookin at another Lack lusterd Lfc next season. Peace.
