This is different, NESV didn't spend big, they just worked their magic wand and voila, unemployed Babel and whiny Torres with his injuries are no longer our concern, and we got two of the best prospects on the planet so we're no longer so short in strikers, THEY'RE SMART

All i'm saying is its still early days. What they did in January was a good sign. Getting rid of players without the clubs interest at heart. The summer is when we'll find out just how far they want this club to go.

The key is not spending big but spending with purpose. Man City have spent big for some time, but they're still nowhere near good enough to win the title and the fair play rules will cramp their style. We need to sign several quality players and that will not be cheap, and in the process we need to stop our hit-and-miss approach by just taking the best player in a poor league (eg Jovanovic). I believe that if we're going to buy someone unproven in the EPL, then he needs to be something of a star for his national side, otherwise we shouldn't be looking at him (unless he's under 20, of course).

I know that ideally we want to unearth hidden gems because they're cheaper in every aspect, but I don't think we can afford to waste the opportunity to make a name for ourselves next season. If we miss the CL for a 3rd consecutive season there may be no way back for then next 5.

Fair play rules will have an influence on all club spending. I believe that NESV have their hearts in the right places and want to make our club great once again. To me this is the most important thing......to be the great, all conquering side again that puts the fear in all that face them.
People are saying that they haven't spent big yet but Suarez was lined up to play alongside Torres so the money was already made available for his purchase. The fact that Nando decided to pull the pin means the funds that had set aside were then covered. They also went and bought Carrol to cover the Torres loss. The fact that they didn't get Adam and a couple of others is disappointing but the Nando threw a spanner in the works and maybe those deals would have been completed had this not been the case. Also Blackpool were the ones playing hardball and that stalled the Adam deal.

nesv won't be able to buy my loyalty by spending big. my love for lfc is not for sale. it's earned over a sustained period in the way that kenny did. if they go out a fire sale players, i'll be [oops] off. what we need to do is look more at the model being implemented at arsenal and barca rather than the likes of city.

remember gerrard wasn't bought by the club, he was nurtured and he's been our best player for 10 years. the likes of kelly and wilson, shelvey mixed with a few clever purchases (vidic only cost utd 7m, hernandez 10m) would see us right rather than going out and spending ludicrous money which will not stabilise the club long term.

we need players who will shift the culture and style of our club and build for a 20 year period of dominance. you just don't get that with carlos tevez. but you will with charlie adam.

i'm not 100% sold on FSG, we just got too stung by H+G, but i do believe in kenny. he knows better than all of us. and we all know that the club is in his veins.

I would rather see big spending on young players until these fair play rules come in. When they do unless anfield been Expanded or weve got a new stadium then it could the end of big spending but at least our debt has virtually been written off.

I trust them hopefully there in it for the long run.
