Already bought the league, be staggered if they don’t become first team to win quadruple with that squad

The game isn’t played on paper.

Our '08 squad was better, we won two trophies.

Redcafe’s take on our summer transfer window, apparently we aren’t as good as their 08 squad :rofl:

I’ll be fair to the mancs here - up until City started outright buying the league, that 07-09 squad of United’s was the best I’d seen in the league. They ran up against Pep’s Barca juggernaught in the CL final twice, thankfully, but they were a fantastic side. Burns me though because it coincided with Liverpool having one of their best squads under Rafa - Alonso, Mascherano, Torres, Reina, Carra, etc.

Yeah to me that is the best Liverpool side up til the Klopp years, its certainly better than the side that lost the CL final in 2018.

Though as we know the 2005 side wasn’t even close to many of those sides and yet will be remembered forever by us.

I was most.passionate in my support of that 09 Liverpool squad. I so believed we were in the “ascendency”. I remember waking up, still drunk, in a bed next to a beautiful (and very cool) young lady that I had fancied for a long time and sacking her right off to go and watch Liverpool Arsenal in a north London pub. I thought we were going to win the league. We didn’t. I never dated her again.

Fortunately Klopp (and my then future and now current lady love) saved me from despair and destitution. All’s well that ends well eh? Here’s to the (now current) future and all its promised glory :heart_eyes::star_struck:

Ironically that Arsenal 4-4 was the last time I watched a full Liverpool match in a pub.

Saw 20 minutes of us beating Palace in a Croatian bar but that’s it.

Yeah the way you do this is not spend months calling them the worst players you’ve ever worked with.

Why would they give fellow relegation battlers an upper hand?! Smart move by United :joy:

Reports that Utd are interested in Kolo Muani. I dont think he’s a grade A level, but he’s better than what they have and I’m surprised that with so much focus on multiple teams wanting a striker and so few targets being raised that he has largely stayed out of the conversations.
