Yeah, good call.

He needs a new environment. Atleti need new energy, they’re dead with Simeone.

I’d like to see some od their players under Klopp, although it may have be too late for some who may have wasted ther prime years with under a falling Simeone.

That’s just not true.

Bayern have the fortune of playing in a league with 19 feeders clubs where players force them to include affordable buy-out clauses so that they can move to Bayern at the earliest opportunity. The ownership rules also favour Bayern massively meaning that billionaires can’t come in and buy German clubs and spend money making them compete with Bayern.

When was the last time Bayern spent ÂŁ50m+ on a transfer?

We likely have more money than Bayern by virtue of the Kroenkes.

We’re also not a mediocre club. Take a look at Bayern this season, not exactly setting anyone alight and they haven’t done for several seasons now.

You are giving me reasons as to why Bayern are superior to us.

by virtue of Wenger putting this mediocre club on the map. You don’t see Aston Villa & Everton making big money signings.

Mediocre is a bit much. We’re strongly above average.

Can’t really underestimate how big of a deal that is.

They casually poached RB’s coach, starting CB and captain two years ago maybe?

Who says it’s the ultimate aim. Who gave a shit about that shit tune walking onto the Emirates 5 1 down to Bayern in the second leg.
Hopefully aiming for the League and embracing the CL is everything our last SEVEN efforts weren’t under a different manger.

Everton paid 50 million each for Richarlison and sigurdsson.

By virtue of a sugar daddy, not by virtue of organic revenue.
As soon as it looked like Everton won’t make money, big money signings dried up.

There is no doubt that Top 4 was the ultimate aim this season.
I want us back in the Champions League. I want those nights back. I want to hear that song as the players come out.

Manager: JĂźrgen Klopp Germany23x14

In the squad but didn’t play a league game: Johannes Focher; Daniel Ginczek; Marc Hornschuh; Lasse Sobiech.

Transferred out during the season: Tamás Hajnal Hungary23x12 (loan to VfB Stuttgart); Moritz Leitner (loan to FC Augsburg); Yasin Öztekin Turkey23x15 (loan to Gençlerbirliği); Dimitar Rangelov Bulgaria23x14 (loan to Maccabi Tel Aviv).

^ It’s absolutely wild he won the league with that squad. You’ve got guys who were hyped but never really took the next step like Kagawa, Gotze and Sahin, guys who were solid but not spectacular in Subotic, Schmelzer, Piszczek, Hummels and Bender. We know now that Lewandowski is an incredible striker but he didn’t even score double figures that season.

We played 5-5 with them?!

Pens?!

Ohh yeah, now I remember the game, didn’t remember the actual result, damn…

Willock scored a worldie

Yeah, that was THE game I first though Martinelli was a sure future star… Still didn’t fullfill the expectations set at that night (for me personally).
He played CF there I think, didn’t he?

For me the Martinelli game where he burst onto the scene was at Chelsea in a 2-2 draw.

That’s when Chelsea were good.
