The top players will want Champions League football, or at the very least the real prospect of it, if they are going to join a club not in it, and that is not something that Liverpool can say with any sense of realism.

I don't think the Europe thing is as big an issue as people make out. If they pay the wages they will attract the players.

Liverpool aren't competing for the very top players though. They will still get the players that their budget allows and if they increase their budget dramatically players will come for the money and the expectation of what's to come.
Can Liverpool offer the very real prospect of competing for a Champions League place? They, along with everyone else are in a battle with possibly seven clubs, for those four places. Players that they could be after, could easily just decide to go to a club where there is more of a realistic chance of Champions League football. |

Not really. West Ham have a budget of 50m all in this summer, Liverpool have more spending power than that.

Exactly, it is not as though Leicester have struggled this season because they have not attracted top players. Having scouts who know what they are doing helps.

Liverpool do not exactly have a good modern history of doing well in the transfer department, and spending their money wisely, that will definitely need to change this summer.

What are these expectations to come though?

Players that they could be after, could easily just decide to go to a club where there is more of a realistic chance of Champions League football. Currently they dont compete for the very top players so that won't change. They can still compete for players at a certain level, therefore it isn't the disaster some are suggesting. There is also a new TV deal now, you might not know but that gives added spending power to PL clubs. If Liverpool suddenly decided to really go for it, they will attract players based on the salary they offer. Wont work for everyone but some will come. It happened at City a few years back, the players saw the wages and ambition and took a chance. Clop being there is a draw too. Like I say, it won't work for everyone but will for some. |

I made a very simple point.

Because Sullivan said so.
We will see, but with said new TV deal, I suspect their budget will be a tad higher than that, as it will be for most clubs. Quote:

This is true, but it applies to every football club in the PL, the footballing world knows about it as well....so all it will mean is those players that would have cost xxxx amount will now cost a higher xxxx amount.
