I have to agree. there were many many posters saying they wouldn't attract top players. The person who posted that was likely one of them.

United are still one of the biggest clubs in europe, however they find themselves without CL football for the first time in nearly 2 decades.

So far in this window they have signed Shaw, Herrera and Rojo and whoever that other young fella is. These signings while good for united are not standout players.

Di Maria is an elite player, but I think united fans will agree that they are over paying for him. Nothing wrong with over paying if you can afford it and united have plenty of cash to spend.

But you also need to look at the players like Kroos, Hummels that united were linked to who didn't sign for them despite, what seems like genuine interest. This would lean towards no CL football as a factor, however having said that signing Di Maria shows they still have pulling power coupled with the extra cash they may have to spend to land such a quality player.

But the one elite player they will sign is being over paid for, this must be taken into consideration as no other elite players have yet to sign for the club despite interest, it suggests that while united can and will be able to sign elite players it will be more difficult and cost more to do so.

If united miss out on top 4 again this issue could become even bigger, 1 season out for a club like united won't do much damage bar maybe having to offer a bit more in terms of transfer fee and especially wages, 2 or more years and it gets allot harder to do, we've seen this first hand at LFC.

So really it's a combination of both still being a big draw for some players and having the money to pay the extra required to secure them. City did the same without CL football throwing huge sums of money especially in wages to sign them, united of course are not in the same boat as city as they have massive European pedigree but the longer they stay out of the CL the worse this becomes.

As for us, we still struggle to sign the very best, however we have managed to strengthen our squad considerably with players the manager targeted, these palyers may not be elite at the moment but they are players the manager wanted in most cases. Also despite the baggage Balotelli is a big name player, IMO he still has to prove he is an elite striker but in terms of box office and upping the interest in LFC he fits the bill, right now it's for mostly the wrong reasons but we have to hope he can turn it aroundHope being the pivotal word.

Maybe it's just me but I love Liverpool, I don't define my support through hated or dislike of another club which many on here seem to do, ask any Red and they will tell you that this has been an excellent window for us on paper, we have to see how the new lads bed in etc. but every red I know is happier with this window then they have been for years. There is a very good vibe about the club at the moment, we've managed, in signing Balotelli to get that big name striker we badly needed since Luis left, it's given the club a lift.

We're happy, united fans are getting happier despite the poor start.

Is Tltty ever not abusive ?

posted on 25/8/14

He's right though Charlotte, my analysis of the situation is clearly excellent, if one chooses to call it boring it indicates they can't deal with the high brow level of analysis

Chelsea combat 18 fans don't seem to be the brightest, this is just my observation though but whitewall is compounding it.

Not surprised this is such a foreign concept to Chelsea. fans. To Chelsea fans the measure of how much of a fan you are is how many one minute silences you can interrupt.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Is that supposed to be an example of not disliking another club then

Yes I did and it's true, it's fun winding up fans on here but things I say on here I don't say in real life, I talk sensibly with rival fans in the real world.

The anonymity the internet provides makes all users alter their personality and say outrageous things that they won't repeat in real life.

I love LFC they are what matter to me, other clubs results, whilst being entertaining (take united under Moyes as an example) are really meaningless unless they directly impact LFC.

Say Chelsea v Sunderland last season, Sunderland winning was a big result for us finishing ahead of Chelsea ergo it was a result that mattered to me.

Hating a club as much (or in may cases more) then you love your own is a waste of time and energy, it won't affect their results will it?

So yes I posted that comment with complete sincerity as I know that's how I fell, if you choose to hate on a club go for it, many fans do, just not me.
