      Jota was flavour of the month a while back but has not r found his form since his return from injury.  He was widely acknowledged as the best finisher in the club now time to get shut all this whilst we are sitting top of the league.

      Jota's best work here has been on the left of the 3. Id retain Jota and buy a new no9, time for diaz and nunez to be shown the door though. Thats long overdue.

      I love Diogo, but he has been poor since he came back to fitness.

      TAW lads are correct as per usual. Midfield is the prime reason we lost both games.

      PSG and Newcastle had far too much energy and intensity for us, and when you lose midfield you

      Sort of agree whit most of that, but would like to add. If we were getting over run in midfield, why, during the game, didn't we revert back to 4-4-2. That would have stemmed the flow in the middle of the park, and one midfielder at a time could push up and support the front two as and when. Then drop back ion if we lost the ball. It's in game management, when your first option isn't working. Why don't we ever do that. We're getting over run, but let's keep doing the same !  Total madness to me, when an alternative strategy could make all the difference.
      Players seem to be used like programmed robots. Not able to adapt to the situation going on around them. Just repeat, repeat, repeat.

      No way I would keep Jota. What he's done is history. As said in  TAW, That counts for nothing going forwards. 2 weeks playing and six in the sick bay just isn't enough. And with the 2 weeks playing being totally off form, it's a no brainer. Has to go with Jota and Nunez. Robbo as well. I think his best days are behind him. When did you last see him race down the wing leaving all in his wake. 2 seasons ago is when.
      Under Shanks or Bob, them four would have been moved on before last season started.
      We not only need 4 or 5, possibly 6 payers, we need cover for them as well.

      Fair enough mate. Id keep Jota and Robbo. Both can keep a new no3 or no9 honest and provide good competition. We just cant get rid of everyone and for me Robbo  and Jota have contributed enough over the years and I believe they can both contribute next season.

      However, tsmikas gomez endo elliott chiesa nunez diaz all need moving on. Trent seems like he wants to be at Madrid and Salah and van dijk, that situation is troubling to say the least . So we will ne needing plenty.

      If that’s what is going to happen we’re in the sh*t because FSG are not spending a shed load of money

      Liverpool (according to the numbers I could find) currently spend over 135 million pounds per year on player wages. I would certainly classify that as a shed load of money?

      Not talking about wages, talking about new players, we will need quite a few new players come next season

      They’ll probably spend what comes in from sales, the whatever they are limited to, to comply with FFP.
      It’s not always that they won’t spend, it’s sometimes that they can’t spend 🤷‍♂️

      It’s still money … you think the players get paid in gratitude? Wages are a bigger expenditure than transfer fees for most clubs - how much teams spend on wages is a much better measure of how much they invest etc in the squad

      Quite a few? Left back yes, right back back up to Bradley yes, and a prolific striker even if salah stays yes. That about sums up what we need, not a massive rebuild. Ps isak for Nunez would be just fine.

      No chance this summer. We splashed huge 55mil bucks on a keeper and attacker last summer so we have to be quiet this summer. Next summer 2026? Yes, I can see FSG throwing 20-30mil net on new players.

      Maybe you should make an appointment with the optician!
      FSG do not ‘throw 20 or 30mill’ at anything - LFC sell to buy but that option is not available so the mingebags have two choices -
      1/ loan the club adequate monies which is what they have done since acquiring the club for a bargain £260m.
      2/ let the players leave and watch as LFC become a mid-table entity  -  but the owners finances are relatively unaffected.

      With our revenue, with being the healtiest PL club in terms of PSR/FFP, we should spent way more and you know it but for some reason you keep backing FSG while Henry is laughing at Linda on their 200mil yacht journey.

      It’s amazing how we as a club have managed to buy over £1.2bn worth of players

      We didn’t sell £1.2bn worth of players 🤷‍♂️


      How on earth did we recently managed to acquire the services of all those players into the club if we dont spend

      Sat top of the table - 12 points clear and moaning about money spent

      We have spent over 1.2bn on players ?

      You’ve been making this mid table prediction for years now - when is it actually going to materialise?

      Welcome to the FSG are tight bas**rds and won’t spend any money thread;….A annual event we all debate at this time of the season, but turns out never as bad as ppl want it to so as they can say we told you so !!


      We’ve been in transition now from the start of Jürgen’s farewell tour and up to and including this inaugural season under Arne, Jürgen had started the new revolution by adding Gravenberch, Szloboslai & Macca, we done fairly well up until the point where we ran out of legs last season with a hint of over achieving and of course with Jürgen dropping his bombshell perhaps adding a sense of trying to hard, to do it for him elements to consider ?

      In the close season of Jürgen’s farewell tour we were linked with Caicedo & Lavia with reports of up to £100m at our disposal to spend, I’d doubt very much we had that level of spending, however, we should have a fairly sizeable pot to utilise from the fact we haven’t needed to add players since then ?

      For me this summer was looking to be the one where we needed to spend regardless, whether Trent was bound for Spain or not, to continue the revolution so to speak, even if Jürgen had remained himself, this was the summer to bring in new talents, so the only things that have changed is knowing now that Trent is likely to be going and we have the new manager wanting his own players in, also the Richard Hughes influence working with Arne, to bring in said players,

      I have no doubt whatever that whatever targets Arne has mentioned will get looked at and that RH will find or bring in those good enough, we’ve seen the work he done at B’Mouth so no reason to doubt he won’t do the same here, I also see us keeping hold of both Virgil & Mo, there isn’t a chance both will be let free this summer, and I’m sure negotiations are ongoing to end all that speculation,

      We’re on the periphery of our 20th league title, we’re at the beginning of a new era under Arne, and so far it hasn’t been too shabby has it, so instead of all this doom mongering and all the negativity brought about by our resident glory hunting fraternity we should all be looking forward to who our new players will be and the continuation of this particular successful era,

      We are rebuilding and we are already bringing in success, what’s not to like ffs ??

      Some of you guys come off with such nonsense where transfers are concerned  ;D

      All clubs sell to buy unless you want us to be sunk deep into debt or run the risk of fines by breaching PSR.
