Yeah Baros was always so overrated.
Yeah people rated him because of some flash in the pan Euro 2004, never rate players due to a 5 match international tournament.
Just had a thought: I wonder how Coutinho must feel right now
Not as bad as the members on this forum that wanted Klopp in 3 years agoā¦ myself @Stroller @ronniec

Did you want Klopp?
Why have you never mentioned that before?

He isnāt sweating it, he got his dream move and won the double.
Whereas Liverpool have it all to do, even if they win donāt see how he isnāt happier at Barca.
He can win the trebleā¦ heāll get a medal if Liverpool win the CL
Liverpool got a good deal there though. Ā£145m for a player who they havenāt really missed.

Ah yeah I remember reading that although Klopp would have final say or something?
Lol if we could get posts from the old forum you could see I wanted Klopp, but I will confess Iāve wanted most highly touted managers for the last 6 years.
One thing is for certain though, I knew Wenger needed to fuck off.

They averaged less points per game with him playing too. So itās evident they function better as a team when he isnāt playing.

I mean, I think there were a number of people who wanted Klopp? I was still not 100% Wenger out at that point but I wanted him and definitely wanted Pep a few months after. So if I was still in my very difficult transition phase from Wenger lover to Wenger outer stands to reason that there were loads of other people that wanted a clearly top manager like Klopp or Pep.

I think you were just Wenger Iām at that point, but you changed your tune after the 15/16 Leicester title winning season.
Nah, I was rooting for us to lose against Leicester in February of 2016āLeper loved this!āso Wenger would be fired (how naive! xD) so was definitely 100% Wenger out by then, I also remember posting about how we shouldnāt turn down the opportunity to sign Guardiola, before @Powderfinger I think it was shut me down reminding me that City probably offered him wages well above what we would give and the Txiki Begiristain and Ferran Soriano connection making it unlikely we had a chance. I also remember telling my Liverpool supporting friend in January of 2016 when I was in NY that I was jealous as fuck of him and that Liverpool would be surpassing us soon. I guess I probably wasnāt 100% Wenger out until that dip of form in January that season.
edit: really sucks we donāt have the old forum, itās completely lost now is it @mods?

I donāt feel bad though. It was never on the table so no point bemoaning it.

Well, he is a specialist in losing finals :mustafi:
Yeah, I donāt bemoan Klopp or Guardiola for this reason, but it really does suck that probably the best two managers in the world happened to move to rivals right before the summer in which it shouldāve been obvious to everyone that Wenger had to go.
Then again you can make a pretty strong case that it shouldāve been obvious already after the 14/15 season.
