I'm telling you, Messi loves the League Cup...Despite winning a competition primarily reserved for kids and fringe players, Damien Comolli believes that the Reds lifting the Carling Cup can be the catalyst for signing “big name” players. Our current Director of Football Strategy accomplished a similar feat while at Tottenham and used the allure of shiny pieces of tin to recruit players into the Spurs fold. His assumption that he can do the same at Liverpool might me nothing more than a reminder that he still works here, but time will indeed tell. With a place in the Europa League now secured, the attraction of continental football is squarely back on the table, although on a much smaller stage than most top players would want or expect. Winning a trophy is nice and everything, but Champions League qualification remains the top priority; that and the FA Cup. You need two Cups. No one likes to drink alone…
