'I could've won the league if Liverpool were bankrolled by a country!' - Carragher takes a swipe at Man City spending

Jamie Carragher has taken aim at Manchester City's spending, stating that he would have won a Premier League medal if Liverpool had been "bankrolled by a country" in an apparent reference to the champions' affiliation with Abu Dhabi's royal family.

Famously a one-club man, Carragher spent his entire 17-year senior career with his hometown side, lifting two FA Cups, three League Cups and the Champions League, while also being named Liverpool's player of the year on two occasions.

A Premier League title evaded him, however, a fate shared by fellow Reds legend Steven Gerrard, and the very likely prospect of his old club finishing as top dogs this season has the former defender understandably full of praise for Jurgen Klopp and his charges.
