NESV/Fenway Sports Group: Owners of LFC

The net spend is relevant because we desperately need a CB and there seems to be no money?We are still challenging because of one man,the genius that is Jürgen. We should have had a CB target and made our move on the 4th of January.Were you supporting FSG before Jürgen came in?

Who says there is no money ?

The owners had my support since they arrived and stopped the club going into deep financial difficulties due to the mis management of the previous owners


They set out their game plan and told us what they wanted to achieve - it was always going to take some time with some ups and downs with some mistakes but I’ll take what they are doing over the UTD , Chelsea or City owners

They have helped put the club back to where we belong

You are just ranting and not listening or even reading what’s being posted to you

What does this “world brand” have to do with signing players ?

Why do you keep saying “£20mil” a season


This summer we spent £80 mil on players

One year we spent £169mil the year before we spent £160mil

You are just using some random figure to try and make it look like the club isn’t spending money on players

We have bought very well and got rid of deadwood very well - are you really complaining about the transfer policy ?

World brand hence brings in more revenue,why do yo keep quoting spending figures and not net figures?the net spend is relevant as we need a CB,everyone and their dog know we needed a CB when VVD was injured in October,yes VVD the best CB in the world,so why wasn't one targeted then and a fee offered once the window opened?or a loan deal?

If there is money why are we not addressing the CB issue?

Because it’s not as easy as that 

The player has to be the right one for the manager and the team

Have you even read the accounts ? Please do and then you can at least post from a base of fact instead of just regurgitating something you have seen someone else post elsewhere

You still need to bring in funds which has improved hugely in the past 5 years - and people only focus on net spend when they are trying to find points to look at the owners


The club have bought and spent well - I don’t care how much is spent - the only thing that matters is that the right players arrive and if they can get rid of deadwood on great prices that’s even better


Have the club missed out on players they should have got ?

Have the club missed out on players they should have got ?

Yes.

Texeira, Fekir, and Virgil in the summer of 2017. Spin it however you want it but Virgil was t going to happen until we got shut of Coutinho.

Salah first time round for £11 million, Willian for £30 million stand out as players that we could've got.

Yes.

Texiera? The same player that Klopp stopped the transfer


Fekir - again the club stopped it because of his injury

And VVD was arriving in the summer if they hadn’t fecked up the approach


Do you really think we should have got Teixeira ( club bought Mane instead ) or Fekir ?!

Salah first time round for £11 million, Willian for £30 million stand out as players that we could've got.

Both players turned us down because of where we were at the time - not in the CL


The only player who we actually bid for and kept interested was Pulisic

Nope, we pulled out when Chelsea came in as we wouldn't enter a bidding war.

Chelsea bid at that time way above what he was reported to be worth - I suspect we ended up getting Salah at the right time

And Willian turned us down - some say money some say CL

Finding it hard to get too riled up when I'm hearing players and clubs are asking for pre-covid money in a Covid world.

For what it's worth, Willian would've been a great signing for us. Hard to know how Salah would've done, he certainly would've gotten more game time with us.

Willian I was disappointed with as he was a quality player - the rest , not so much

The "net spend" argument is idiotic, and always has been.

The manager also decided to not bring in a CB because we had options within the squad

The line he used for the media. His comments after the Man Utd game last week may suggests he thinks differently privately.

On the issue of cb's, I think we definitely are looking to bring one in the summer. Gini's wages, if he leaves for Barca, will cover the incoming player. It's whether or not we look at an emergency option with Matip's current injury.

Yes.

There may be other players, but Teixeira and Fekir are poor examples.

Alex Teixeria ended up in the CSL and amounted to nothing. Forget why the transfer never happened but he's just not very good.

Fekir we backed out due to medical records. I believe he had already even taken his Liverpool picture when things were called off. Since then he's gone to Real Betis and has less than 10 goals since arriving in 2019. If he was as good as people think/thought he would be at a top club.

Virgil was on the verge of happening in the summer until we somehow fu**ed it up. That people think we would have gone through all that effort of courting the player, agreeing fees, be on the verge of an announcement then everything come to a stop and issue a public apology as a show to pretend we were interested is shocking. That type of cynicism i wouldn't expect from our own fans.

Players i can think of who turned us down were Gundogan, Sane and Gotze.

The "net spend" argument is idiotic, and always has been.

It's truly baffling. That people think the more you spend the more you succeed is puzzling, but net spend is the only think a couple people can bring to the table in a discussion.

I guess we will see in May. But I'll probably be right. Indomt think its too controversial though to state if a quality centre half stepped into our side we would challenge for the title.

I did hear there was a choice in the summer - someone to bring in for the front line or a CB - he went with Jota which would allow him to rest the front three more and was comfortable going into the season with Fabinho there as back up and the youngsters -

And then look to bring in the top CB during the summer - one of the Leipzig guys imo

Both available at decent prices in the summer - not sure about right now though.

Quality depth for the front 3 was definitely a much bigger then in the summer with the high amount of games in a shorter period and needing to be able to rest them, something you don't need to do as much with CBs.

Thiago did seem a bit superfluous as we already had a lot of players for midfield and were already a few months into covid shut down, but i understand we wanted to bring a different dimension and another way of beating bus parkers.

WTF,are you serious?i'm mentioning the net spend as everyone knew we needed a CB after VVD was injured but now with 2 days of the window left and nothing,if a massive club like ours doesn't react when they have spent f**k all in PL terms(net spend) when we desperately need a CB then it's a big worry.I haven't seen 1 person on here saying the more you spend the more you succeed,it's only because of the geniuses of Jürgen,Edwards and Gordon that we have been successful.Hopefully we bring an experienced quality player in on loan or permanent then everyone will be happy.

They spent £70mil on players in the summer during a pandemic where many clubs are suffering from financial constraints because of the lack of match day revenue - the fact you can’t see that shows a lack of understanding of the clubs finances
