Ian Ayre - Reds have money to spend

If the following is true I wouldn't mind a kwalitee striker and someone who can find Andys massive heed.

Please. 

Ayre - Reds have money to spend

Reds chief won't rush into transfer market.

Ian Ayre says funds are in place for Liverpool to make moves in the transfer window
   

Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre insists the club have money to spend in the transfer window, but that they are happy with their current squad.

    The Reds have been linked with a number of names during this month's transfer window with Kenny Dalglish thought to be in the market for striking reinforcements to help solve the club's goalscoring problems.
Ayre is adamant the club's American owners are prepared to back Dalglish in the transfer market, but insists they will not rush into any signings.
"Money is not an issue," Ayre told Sky Sports News. "If we need somebody and there's a player I think our owners have shown the level of commitment you would expect from a good ownership group that the manager will get supported whatever he needs.
"But that's not the same as saying we will just go spend money because we have got it or just because we can.
 Long-term plan"It is about the long-term plan of where they want the squad and where they want the team to be, that's not about any particular transfer window it's about continuing to improve.
"If an opportunity presents itself I am sure we will look at it, but right now it's about keeping going and improving and getting the best out of what we have got.
"We have got some great players in a great squad of players and they are focused on pushing that forward."

Got money.
Not spending.

So we are on for 4th then?

Surly Kenny and Co can see we are struggling in front of goal,Cant keep relying on Bellers,think if the moneys there we need to get the players that will get us the goals,Weather it be wingers or strikers!!!

The money might be there but the right players and deals might not.

I'm sure they will know where we need to improve, at least we know the money is there and if the deal can't be done this month it should be another exciting summer.

Summer should be fun alright,but I still think we could get a striker in hopefully a proven 1.

I've got a feeling that we may see one or two moves on the last day or two.  There are some great bargains that can be found at the tail end of the transfer market, and I believe the owners, Comolli, and Kenny will all be looking to see what kind of deals we can get.  If a quality player becomes available for cheap (like Van Der Vart for 7M when he left Madrid) then I have no doubt that we will make a move if it will make us better. 

Tevez is available for £25million.

The papers always speak the truth.

Tevez is available for £25million.

£25m for six months effort? And I believe Liverpool is probably only marginally closer to Buenos Aires than Manchester is.

i'd love to see us sign a striker and a right winger but i don't want the club to buy someone for the sake of it.worst case - the club  haven't done the right amount of scouting on the player we all get excited by our 'final piece of the jigsaw' and they turn out to be sh*t.

I struggle to see how we will get 4th if we do not sign a striker in this window. However, i dont' fancy there being a second Carroll in the squad so bit of a catch 22.

I was going to be a nerd and work it out but I can't be arsed.....

If they say there's money there, there's money there.. We've had a bit of a re-vamp already and common sense suggests the new-ish players could still come good.. Not to say I wouldn't be slightly disappointed if we didn't get a few more additions.. ..

For me its simple if the players we want are not available in this window, i'd rather wait and get the ones we want other than just buying for the sake of it, yes i'd love a striker to help with our goal return and if our targets aren't available a loan option would be a good idea as you're only commited for the length of the loan and not the duration of a contract.

I think we had to settle for 2nd, 3rd, 4th best under Rafa due to the constraints placed upon him, lets not go down that route again.

I trust this guy.  Whatever he decides to do, I'm the first one behind him!

Are we becoming Arsene Wenger?

i hope so, Arsene doesnt want to spend money but when he does, he signs a gem 8 out of 10 times. Chamberlain is gonna be the next big English striker of this time.

8 out of 10 is a bit generous...

I give you..

Flapihandski
Almunia
Djourou
Sweatynacker
Squillaci
Diaby (Is he still alive?)
Arshavin (May as well not be)
Denilson
Park
Chamakh
Bendtner


Thats in the current squad.

He has signed some crackers but 8 out of 10 is far too generous.

If this is the case, I think bringing in a striker is essential, unless we're going to keep giving Bellamy a run up front?

clappyhandy and sweetyknickers are decent enough

Then stop fart arsing around and get in Hazard & Cavani or Soldado, we need fire power!!

How much we got Mr. Ayre? Because we want Cavani!

goto agree with this if we can not get the players we want in jan we should wait till the summer .Rafa allways had to go for second choice meybe even 3rd an 4th look at the players we missed out on vidic ronaldo and alves to name just three which would have made a fortune aswell as winning us trophies
Better to wait for 1st choice  targets,having money in bank That would put us in a strong postion with selling club ie, no installmants upfront cash .Then we can do deals quickly for our 1st choice

Well spend for fucks sake.

When we can get CL spot then the right players will come, so until then there doesn"t seem to be any reason to be spending for the sake of spending.

There are obvious shortcomings in the outfield dept as well as more immediate concerns in the striker situation, champions league or not.

And how much have he spend on them? i cant be arsed to google but i bet you that we wasted alot more on the "wrong" players. btw i would love for some players from your list to join us.

Cavani's price tag already well known to teams within the industry, fact that LFC even made casual contact shows potential intent,,,

Carroll was the first stupid thing I seen FSG do, I just hope they continue that and put in a stupid bit for Cavani

Agree totally with this, said as much myself earlier in the month about our transfers:

Look at it this way:

If we were to spend money assuming that the players would get us into the top four, and didn't, that would leave us short-changed for the longer, better value, summer transfer window.

If we can't get the right deal, at the right price, in January, then I don't think the club should spend.

Last January we were right to spend the money we had (regardless of whether you think we bought the right players!), because it was the last window that didn't count towards the financial fair play rules.

I've read people saying we have the Meireles money, but if we end up pissing it away on the wrong player, or gifting it to another club by overspending, it's largely wasted.

I don't believe FSG will try to keep the money, I have faith in them, and believe it is available to Kenny if and when he wants.

But I agree totally with the King wanted to get full value for that money, even if it means waiting until the summer.

But, that said, if a quality player becomes available at an affordable price, we should certainly pounce.

And how much have he spend on them? i cant be arsed to google but i bet you that we wasted alot more on the "wrong" players. btw i would love for some players from your list to join us.

I can't either, my points not being he isn't a good manager or hasn't signed some fantastic players, just that he doesn't get 8 out of 10 right.

And you would have some from that list at our place? Not for me... Not one of those would get in our side in my opinion. There is a reason they have dropped out of the CL places and challenging for the title. And those players not being top level are a big reason.
Some in their squad I'd have but not those lot.

Hmm, gotta admit 8 out of 10 was too much but still imo he is one of the best managers when it comes to signings. and i would have taken denilson for a cover up for lucas. Arshavin and even chamakh as a third striker.

No offence mate but i'm sort of glad you are not Dalglish if you would want to sign Arshavin or Chamakh who are piss poor.

None taken. I am not saying we should go for them now but id take arshavin over maxi and chamakh as a bosman signing like arsenal did.
You cant deny that they wont improve our squad, so why not?

Don't think Arshaven would improve us he's terrible at the moment

I was gutted when Arsenal signed Arshavin as i was desperate for us to sign him. He would have suited how we played under Rafa perfectly in the hole behind Torres or at inside left but he seems to have lost his way at Arsenal and has never really found his role in that side. Still a good player in my book though.

I think he is a top manager, and I think the Arsenal fans questioning him and slagging him off are a discrace. It was more the amount rather than his overall ability to pick up good signings. All managers make signings that don't work that's just the nature of the job.

If we were talking when they were signed then fair enough but now? They havent kicked on, would I have Chamakh? No, his confidence is shot and has shown virtually nothing since being there. Arshavin was good when he first arrived but his attitude stinks now, head always down, never works back and is touching 30. Denison was shipped back to Brazil for apparent discipline and attitude issues according to a mate of mine who is a season ticket holder there.

Some in their squad I'd like but not any from that list personally.

Great manager though.

Still in with a shout of top 4, Wembley final booked last 16 home tie in the FA cup.If we could sign 2 great players we could still have a fantastic season.Getting a nice refreshed Luis back will be like a new signing.

F**k Tevez,i wouldn't want that spoiled kunt anywhere near our club, even if we were scratching our arses in the 'R' zone i wouldn't have him, he thinks he's bigger than any club he has been to, including City, who are richer than most, we want players who will run thru brick walls for Kenny, not egotistcal f***in morons who think they have god given right to play when they say so,  thanks but no thanks,

i agree we need to strengthen, especially up top, but what's the point in just signing for signing's sake, we should only bring players in who are the right player, players who will fit the criteria required,so if that type of player is not available during January, there is no point in signing them is there,

it's a bit of a catch 22;, but i trust Kenny and believe he will get the best out of what we have, if he springs a wee surprise on Tuesday pm,then fine, but if not we just battle on,  we just need to BELIEVE
