Incomings

[WTF11]

WTF for example read the previous post of yours, saying we want to transfer the whole of the Red Bull team, maybe if you reread your posts before posting, you wouldn't have to spend time explaining what you really meant so often.

We all want different views on here, it's healthy discussion (till name calling comes into play because of opposing views)

An ex manager going back to a club for recruiting players is common, he understands them and will know their talent and temperment. I'd be quite happy if we get 4 players from there, if you know their squad most of them are talented U23's.

And you think that that statement was to be taken literally? Of course I don't expect LUFC to acquire the whole, or even a substantial proportion, of ANY club, from any league. Stretching a point to make point isn't something that relates just to me when I post here, we are ALL capable of it, you included.

I'd agree with you about Marsch going back to a club he is familiar with, if it wasn't for the mismatch in how the league that club belongs to is structured, and the competitive nature it generates, which I've referred to in other posts. You mentioned that the Austrian leagues aren't minor for German clubs, but how many German clubs are successful in their own leagues, and more importantly, if we're to see LUFC back in Europe, how successful are they in European competitions, in comparison to clubs from the PL? Bayern Munich is the pre-eminent in both (31 Bundesliga titles, 5 for Borussia Dortmund and Moenchengladbach then you're dealing with penny-number success). By comparison, the PL has produced 7 clubs who have won the Premier League title and European winners, from Liverpool (19), Chelsea (6), Scum (20), Arsenal (13) and Schitty (8).

You may be content with 4 from Salzburg, I wouldn't (apart from anything else, our record of obtaining and then playing "talented U23s" is not great!). If it transpires that we do something like that, we will see which of us has the keenest insight. or not!
