Do you not feel short changed by your club captain and manager when they say the goal of your club is to finish in the top 4.You only win a trophy for the top spot and you liverpool fans have ridiculed arsenal fans about the '4th place trophy'

You have spent £105m more than us over the last five seasons, in that time the difference in achievement is a Carling Cup, the 3rd ranked trophy in this country. You suggest that makes you more value for money, I think you must know that not many people will agree with that. This current Liverpool team is unquestionably very good, but was expensively assembled. This current Everton team is unquestionably very good but assembled at a fraction of the cost. Given tha t this thread is about which team is better value for money then I really am not sure how you are so steadfast in your view? Might I suggest that whilst I would undoubtedly see things most often with a blue slant that you see absolutely everything with a complete red tint to the exception of everything, including common sense?

A superior squad for a pittance compared to your squad and net spend.

Hence.....Which team got the best value for money?


----------------------------------------------------------------------
Superior squad?



OK let's do this in a way you may understand.

Between the two goalkeepers I'd say it's pretty even. But if we're going for value then I'd go with Mignolet as he is much younger. Also with potential to improve.

I think Johnson is a better player than Coleman, who I rate highly. Coleman is having a better season thus far.

I'd say Jagielka is a better player than Skrtel.

Sahko is a better player than Distin.

Baines is a better player than Enrique.

Lucas better than Barry.

Henderson better than McCarthy.

Gerrard better than Barkley.

Coutinho better than Pienaar,

Suarez better than Mirallas

Sturridge better than Lukaku

Now onto the rest of the squad with ours being far superior.

Kelly
Agger
Toure
Allen
Sterling
Aspas
Borini etc.

Compared to

Hibbert
Heitinga
Oviedo
Gibson
Osman
Naismith
Jelavic
etc

So Liverpool have a better squad and have won more trophies for spending more.

Everton have a worse squad and have won no trophies with spending less.

Liverpool have the better value for money.

You are allowed to be happy about getting 4th if its something you have missed out on. But to consistantly do it is nothing to be happy about....CL football that is

As TOOR will say, why be in it if you dont win it. So why are Liverpool wanting to be in it next season?

Good evening to all posters.

Look forward to picking this up tomorrow.
Reasoned debate guys.
Immature posts inviting fellow posters to go copulate you is not allowed.
Get your point across strongly,stand your ground but under no circumstances make yourself look like an internet warrior by posting anonymous insults.

If you do...you become a figure of fun,to be treated with utter contempt and in danger of being ridiculed

No. I feel getting fourth would be a stepping stone to getting in better players and thus more trophies.

I didn't release there was a five year time frame. I thought we were comparing the squads.

Why has your 'superior' squad finished below us the last 2 seasons ?

That listing is just your personal opinion.

-------------------------

Because we did not have Coutinho, Sturridge, Mignolet and Sakho for all of last season. Obviously.

We are not the only club on Merseyside who have taken players on loan.Just because we can get superior quality loan players is no reason to mock us

Fourth is now very important in the Premier League in terms of competing for trophies. Getting fourth makes you a more attractive opposition for players. Not only that but it provides the funds needed to not compete with City and Chelsea but at least to try. If Everton got fourth, you'd be in a much stronger position to win trophies.

If you look at the teams who have won trophies since the four positions were awarded to the Premier League, you'll find the teams which have finished in the top four the most have won the most. That's not a coincidence.

He asked for his opinion.

posted on 7/1/14

So Everton would get two players in a Merseyside eleven?

Not many reds would agree with that

As was his assertion that Everton have a better squad. Which players would you debate in my personal opinion?

We didn't have Barry,McCarthy,Lukaku,Deulefeu and Barkley was a bit player so whats your point obviously

I'm not knocking you but they'e not your players. Give back all loans and you're left with two squads. You have Jelavic and Naismith and we have sturridge and suarez. Done.

-------------------

That with those players we're above you and have had better form than you in all this year, So our squad is now better.

posted on 7/1/14

Sorry TOOR but you said Everton players.

posted on 7/1/14

Has the season ended already?

posted on 7/1/14

Robbing,

And we didn't have Barry,McCarthy,Deulofeu and Lukaku.

posted on 7/1/14

No. They're not your players though and if they were your squad would also be expensively assembled. But they're not.

posted on 7/1/14

Pity it's ended as just over a week ago we would have been above you and would have been the winners

I'm sure they wouldn't but you asked for my opinion. I gave it.

You also fail to consider the fact that if Liverpool chose to sell all of their players and Everton chose to sells theirs, Liverpool would receive considerably more than Everton and thus the squad value is much higher, which of course would go towards determining, along with the most important factor of winning trophies, which squad is the most value for money.
