Just seen our new manager interview on Liverpool tv then. he came across really well. looking forward to the coming season. top4 n a good chance in the cups will do me this season . anything else a real. bonus.
19 Jun 2024 17:20:55
Seen a few fans say they would be happy with top 4 next season.
I'd imagine the clubs and players aim next season is a title challenge and the minimum expectation a top 4 finish.
I'd imagine City and Arsenals will be the same.
Utd, Chelsea, Spurs, Newcastle and villas aim will be to finish top 4.
Regardless of the new coach we should be setting our expectations above them.

Just watching it now, he comes across really well looking forward to seeing what he does.
19 Jun 2024 18:22:45
Jk23.City n Arsenal have finished last 2 seasons higher than us. we got a few manager n hopefully some new players . take time to gel. so Top 4 is where I think we will be . don't get me wrong I'd love the quadruple.
19 Jun 2024 18:34:28
I have no control over my expectations. I can't help but see at least two better sides than us.
19 Jun 2024 19:47:59
The aim is to win the league and CL. If we came let’s say 3rd and didn’t win anything I’d be having serious doubts about Slot. We have a squad full of top players and a summer to add to it. Let’s not act like it’s a squad needing an overhaul and not ready to win like when Klopp took over. Please can we as a fanbase not fall into this top 4 is an achievement nonsense.
19 Jun 2024 20:17:10
I also can't seem to control my expectations. We will win the quadruple next season.
19 Jun 2024 20:46:28
There's 2 better teams at the euros than England but I'd imagine they still think they have a chance of winning it.
I can imagine the contract negotiations with Trent now. Don't go to Real. Stay here and compete for a top 4 finish lads.
I'm not saying we'll win it but we should be aiming to.
19 Jun 2024 21:04:15
I expect you're too young to remember the last time we did it, ArAy.
19 Jun 2024 21:34:35
Oh we can win it, JK. But I don't expect us to. We should aim to win it but I don't expect us to win it.
My expectations are based on my experiences but they could change in a few months time.
Let's hope my expectations are not lowered ?.
19 Jun 2024 22:19:01
Should we really ever expect to win the league? or expect to win a cup?
I feel like that is reserved for a club like Real madrid, PSG, Bayern.
19 Jun 2024 22:57:27
Rigsby, I'm 63. And no, I don't remember the last time we did it. Nor have I ever been to Anfield till date. Got something to say about that too?
I expect you'll now have some mercy on us and save us your constant repetitive drivel disguised as meaningful football commentary. Your carpet bombing the page with the same things over and over again reminds me of Harry. But he had better football knowledge.
19 Jun 2024 23:27:57
Arsenal and City make proper investments in the squad, Liverpool attempt to breed promising talent. Top 4 is what I expect but we shouldn’t be happy about it. Greater investment is needed to get closer to the talent.

Yet Arteta has won just the 1 FA cup in his 5 seasons there, by which point Klopp had won Champs League and EPL with us just buying “potential”.
One thing that winds me up is how Arsenal/ Arteta don’t called out for a what a throw away transfer policy they’ve had since he came in. It also took him far too long to realise what a talent his predecessor had signed in Saliba. Below is an update from Ed2 on Arsenal page about players who are available, look at the sheer volume of players signed by Arteta already no longer required. P@ss pooor transfer approach IMO:
Aaron Ramsdale (G) Ramsdale is stuck rather and needs to figure out his future with Arsenal. Wolves are very concerned about losing Sa and are keen to take Ramsdale to replace him but have other options. Milan are the same with Maignan. Newcastle may offer a good solution that will be of interest to the player.
Karl Hein (G) Free Agent in the summer.
Takehiro Tomiyasu (RB) Arsenal have been open to listening to offers for the player but would prefer a new contract else are seeking €35M which saw Inter step back. Could return and look to an exchange plus cash for Denzil Dumfries. Interest of Bayern Munich has been dropped.
Kieran Tierney (LB) Real Sociedad offer another loan option with an obligation to buy this time. Celtic may offer an option.
Nuno Tavares (LB) Will look for a new home in the Summer. Nottingham Forest not interested in taking up the option. Marseille spoke with Arsenal.
Aleksandr Zinchenko (LB) Arsenal will keep him unless they can get a good fee, but he is available and Arsenal have been looking at replacements. Newcastle offer a wildcard option.
William Saliba (CB) Real Madrid have scouted Saliba and spoken with his agent. But he is not first choice for them and likely further down the list of options. The player has always said he would like to move to PSG on day, but for now he stays.
Gabriel Magalhaes (CB) Arsenal rejected an approach from Juventus and another from Al-Ittihad last summer. I am not aware of any recent approaches. He will stay.
Jakub Kiwior (CB/ LB) Could be priced out of a move to Milan who may look to a loan to buy or to Napoli. Arsenal may block any move and look to giving assurances.
Cedric Soares (CB/ RB) No obvious future and could look elsewhere for opportunities when he becomes a Free Agent in the Summer. Besiktas and Villareal offer options. Has already left.
Mohammed Elneny (DM) Free Agent in the summer. Has left.
Thomas Partey (DM) Galatasaray and Fenerbahce have asked after his availability. Juventus interest has moved on. Middle East may be an option but the player is insistent on staying at Arsenal.
Albert Sambi Lokonga (DM) Arsenal will be open to letting him move on as part of the summer clear out. I am not aware of any approaches to Arsenal although his agents will be looking for options.
Jorginho (CM/ DM) Ahas agreed a further year at Arsenal after being given assurances.
Charlie Patino (CM) Perhaps another loan - again difficult to see where first team opportunities will come from. Agent looking to move him on and has been speaking to clubs in Italy but I am not aware of any interest.
Emile Smith-Rowe (CM) Wants to leave for more game time. Could be offered to Brentford as part of a part exchange deal for Toney. Brighton, Newcastle or Aston Villa may provide options but the player would likely not be interested. West Ham would like a loan to buy. Napoli interest has gone. A summer move seems possible unless Arsenal give him assurances.
Martin Odegaard (AM/ CM) PSG has a declared interest but he is not first choice. Arsenal will want to keep him so he stays.
Fabio Vieira (AM) Marseille and Monaco discussed a loan with Arsenal but Porto may well be interested in buying the player who Arsenal are happy to have move on.
Reiss Nelson (W) No future at Arsenal as anything other than a bit part player. Perhaps a loan to buy somewhere. Brighton may offer an option still if previous interest remains.
Marquinhos (W) A loan to Fluminense will end in December and then the club will consider options, but he will likely be sold in January.
Eddie Nketiah (S) If Arsenal can add Toney or another striker, EN will be allowed to leave. Leicester, Crystal Palace and Wolves may offer options. Brentford may be interested in a part exchange, but I doubt it. Fulham may offer a viable solution. All see the requested fee as too high.

Big Shaq my guy, tell us how you really feel about Arteta and Arsenal transfer policy, lol. Seriously tho, I do agree with some of what you say and frankly, a lot of Arsenal fans also agree or at least, the ones that comment online.
IMO if Klopp had that many players who are not this good and were about to be offloaded, we would definitely be asking questions about his and the scouting teams transfer acumen. Just like we did with BR cos essentially, his transfer record is identical, IMO.
20 Jun 2024 22:20:33
ArAy, I'm not claiming to give meaningful football commentary.
I'm just giving my opinions and discussing our team. If you don't like it don't read or reply, it doesn't matter to me or anyone else.
I wouldn't call your expectation of us winning the quadruple as drivel and I replied with a jokey post about us never having done it before. I didn't mean to upset you but I genuinely don't expect us to win the League.
