Does anyone think

1- Kenny has money to spend and is struggling to attract players to a team not in Europe and in transition.

2- Fenway Sports are not willing to spend anymore money after witnessing how bad he has done so far.

3- We are keeping quiet but secretly are getting a couple of top players.

I'd love it to be no 3 but unfortunately I think FSG are not willing to spend anymore atm.

Who's Fenway?

Are they anything to do with LFC?

Sorry for sarcasm my own take is our transfer strategy is a total mess. Our investment in 2011 will have to be written off and replaced or at best underachieve. So Fenway (if they are bothered) will have to knock a few heads together or rethink the manager position if they are thinking that way they will hold off till the end of season bring in a new manager and start again with transfer funds. It’s a strange situation and will be interesting to see which way it goes.

I'm concerned at the lack of input from our owners but I suppose they are letting the manager get on with it. We could have someone like Abramovich who wants the final say on everything.

Somewhere between 1 & 2.

Not many teams want to sell their best players in January and we're struggling at the moment. FSG will have learnt quite fast that players are overpriced in Jan and many are still in the top competitions. They rightly expect players to start performing rather than spending £££ and replacing them after 5 months.

Maybe the answer lies in transferring out a couple of our so called first team players, before we look for replacements, and let it be known that they are going at bargain basement prices, without naming them, maybe that would get some of them at least to move their lazy asses. If after that they still don't shake themselves, move the wasters on.

I'd agree with that. Unfortunately for Kenny, none of his summer signings have been unqualified successes. Enrique has perhaps been the best but may be even he's looking better than he is given how badly the other signings have failed to meet their expectations. As a result, FSG may be getting cold feet and KK isn't going to be given cash to splash - and rightly so.

He's gonna need to be a bit more clever. Like 'arry at Spurs. Start wheeling and dealing... keep refreshing things during each transfer window... out with some of the old, stale players and in with some good value potential or proven players with pace, skill and intelligence. Not overpriced british mediocrity. Van der Vaart for £8million - apparently we didn't want him when he went to spurs cos we had too many similar players. where are they?!

I'd say thanks and farewell to Kuyt for starters before his value plummets to zero if it hasn't done so already.

They managed to get a few slackers off the books last summer so Kuyt will hopefully go, either play Maxi or sell him, possibly Carrol too.

I just hope they've learnt their lesson with overpriced British players and start looking at teams in Germany, Holland, or look for players teams like Barca/Madrid brought in who aren't playing. I don't know the leagues but I'm guessing theirs a few more VDV's out there waiting for first team football.
