With Comolli coming out and saying "no massive transfers" as well as the seemingly wasted 100 million invested in transfers last season, you have to wonder whether it will effect the owners transfer strategy. Will they be so willing to shell the cash out next window, as they were previously, or will they operate on the "sell to buy" strategy.
BUT it is obvious that there are gaps in our starting line up that need to be addressed.
So my basic question is how much activity will we be seeing over the summer? Will it be more of the same, large rebuilding process? Large money shelled on a single player? Or will it be a quiet window, with the transfer strategy aimed at youth or lesser known players on the cheap.
Or perhaps the unspeakable happens and we are forced to sit and watch as more of these claims that our squad is "good enough already".

welcome to the forum
maybe this is so that we don't get ripped off again by other clubs come the next transfer window
I will listen, only if your answer contains wisdom

Maybe I'm being naive, but I think we will be smarter with our money this window. FSG aren't stupid and they seem to learn quick so I don't think(or I hope we won't be dishing out 20 million on another downing/henderson.
We're in the Europa league and I know that doesn't mean much, but hopefully it will help us attract better players. I'm not talking about Hazard or players of his caliber, but hopefully some good foreign players. There are plenty of good players out there that are realistic and could improve us a great deal.
As I've said many times, we need at about 5 quality players to be CL challengers again. The back 4 is sorted so I would add a defensive midfielder(who knows how Lucas will be after his injury), a creative attacking midfielder, a right winger, a left winger, and another striker. As for what will actually happen, who knows but as I see it this is what we need.

This is what we needed before kenny was given any money to spend and we're still in the same boat, only lower in the league. FSG will want kenny to prove that his signings can work before being given any more serious money i reckon. IF they retain his services i think he'll be given a small "warchest" topped up by any player sales until he has shown a bit more sense in the transfer market.

you have to think that if Commoli came out and said "we are going to target the best players available and we have 100 million to invest' every other club would push up their prices ....

Agreed and I pray that's the case. Can't see us buying more than 2 quality players and I think most would be very happy with that, along with keeping Suarez. The net spend hasn't been much over the last 2 years so hopefully Cavani and a right winger. Problem is we have Downing and Bellamy for the left and bought Henderson and Adam for the middle, who shouldn't even start when Lucas/SG are fit so I can't imagine FSG sanctioning big moves for these positions unless we get half decent money for Carrol/Adam. I hope we put everything we've got into a right winger and striker. Maybe another if we sell the likes of Adam/Carrol. It's hopeful but who knows, with lucas/sg back and some new blood, maybe we'll see the best of Downing/Henderson and suddenly we have a team. On the flipside, we could sell Suarez, buy a couple of flops and all start following Rugby.

I'm starting to wonder whether Suarez is with us anymore - mentally speaking that is. Doesn't happen that much around him. Makes the wrong decision most of the time. Totally out of form at best. On the other hand: Who's not out of form atm in our so called team?

Jose won't come to Liverpool, would be an amazing coup if we got him and would give him a real challenge but it won't happen
