This JH lapdog doesn't know when to quit does he. I think we paid about 60m upfront for Darwin. 5m on cavalho and 5m on ramsay. 70m.
Got 35m for mane, 15 million for Williams and 18m for taki . Took a few million for loaning players out again and guess what .... we spent f*ck all again.
Klopp has spent around 620m on players and recouped 480m for a net of 140m or 20m a season. Tell me how you are supposed to compete spending 20m a year. Its like the David Moores years. A disgrace.
We've won what we've won inspite of JH and his group. And when Jürgen leaves they will be exposed as the clueless penny pinching p*icks they've always been. Propped up by a genius that sadly is running out of tricks to keep us competitive.
Spot on
This reminds me of wenger at Arsenal, of course he only got top 4 and as soon as he left, the wheels fell off as he did really well to keep arsenal competitive in respect of getting 4th despite spending less than rivals due to the stadium etc
It’s sad to say but we have fallen in the same pit, get a world class system in place and hope the world class manager and system can allow us to spend far less than rivals but maintain our competitiveness. It’s very attractive for a business owner to keep this going
But there is absolutely no excuse for not being on the ball when realising we needed a big re investment to as to when our cycle ended
I get it, we have probably spent around 100-120m on stadium and other club
Upgrades where other clubs take loans to do it (those without sugar daddies or wealth funds) we used our own internal money we saved from transfer spending
It’s clear the whole board thought we could get away with this model as it did wonders, what they didn’t realise is you need continued investment or you go backwards, instead they took a gamble and it hasn’t paid off
I expect next season we will have a net spend of around 100-120m and people should remember this, why? Because right now I bet they wish they spent that bit more over the last 2 seasons and brought in a couple of more quality cm players to pass the torch as such in our midfield and instead they will now do it at their next chance which will be next season
The problem is the damage has been done, we are now in a dog fight for 4th, this is going to be a real dog fight and one of klopps best achievement if we get 4th with a group of players past their best physically and mentally which klopp relies on so much
I do believe we can get fourth but for F**k sake klopp, you have to first make us solid, you play gung ho and keep getting caught out time and time again start of games on the counter l. we must admit and adapt to our current situation and be more timid
I rather take 0-0 than 3-3 everyday, get our clean sheets back, make us solid with a proper 4-3-3 with 3 cm sitting in front of our defence using our full backs and 3 attackers as our main focus of attack and hopefully we can control games more and get some wins
We are too open, Arsenal cut us open countless times yesterday and it was as obvious to see our huge gaps
If we get fourth, we need a big summer, then a re focus going forward, try to being spend 50-60m net spending which should be possible with change left over to continue investing in our first team squad to never repeat this mistake again
