while i don't even entirely disagree with that, it's not what your other post suggested. look at the framing, you were not talking about neymar or mbappé, but about 'half decent players', 'proper football', and 'pulling power' - and if you want to deny that for a back to back champions league finalist, and most definitely one of the top 5 teams in world football right now, you're clearly deluded.
yes, you might be able to raise the bar to ridiculous standards in order to exclude them in terms of certain categories, but that neither disproves liverpool's current relevance, nor the validity of jenjen's reply to your initial post, that's all i'm saying. suggesting a club is 'dead' just because they probably couldn't sign mbappé is just stupid imo...
Liverpool won Champions League in 2005, was dead before, was dead then and was dead right after.
Feeding on the past glory as they might be, United is still miles ahead in pulling power, although (coming back to my initial claim) can't really see top players signing for United.
