I prefer the "I want to go to a big club" article.

Yes, It's unfortunate that only Man U and Chelsea come into that category. One day we'll be there!

As regards Suarez, there are many top players who could get that accolade and as per usual it's got to be a Liverpool player, complete bias or what? It's normally the case when you support a club you go around with blinkers on and it's difficult to look outside the box. I think you need to have a look outside that red box :-)

Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior or Steven Gerrard or Hernadez or JT or Torres or Gareth Bale or JimmyTheCricket or or

In the galaxy that the best players prefer to go there for the highest wages, mainly because they are English Champions in recent times more often than most and the owners have the money and they guarantee Champions League Footie.

You may have been up there in the past BaaBaa but currently you are a upper mid table outfit, accept it and hope, like I do, that you'll get better! On the other hand it's all about money!

Since they got bought for £1.

Big club my ass. Wouldn't register in the top 20.

Not even the top 10 in England where as Spuds and Everton are bigger.

If Spurs can keep Modric I'm a happy man, pick up something up front and we're in for a fun ride. :cheers:

In all modern sport it's usually the kiss of death if the general manager avows to keep a player, but I think there's a chance we keep Modric ...time will tell. 22 million bids from Chelsea don't scare me, but 35 or 40 mil from Man U will be hard to refuse for Levy.

I don't mind a roller coaster, as long as it's reaches it's apex at the end of the season.
