I was thinking the same when we were linked to Suarez, That he and torres would not play together.
Anyway here it is... Suarez or someone BIG will leave this summer.
FSG did save us from administration but the net spend eg their investment has been tiny. If anything.
Last year we lost our player of the year Meireles for peanuts. They won't invest heavily which is what we need.
I just feel that our best players will become bargaining chips for any transfers moving forward.
Something about this whole American Ownership stinks and I dont like it one bit.
For starters, FSG never said they would invest heavily in the squad - so they're doing what they said they would, which hardly means "it stinks". They said that the club would need a sustainable foundation and would have an eye on the Financial Fair Play rules as guidance. The result of this has been a culling of the players not likely to feature for LFC, as well as removing the heavyweights from the wage bill. The exceptions to this rule are Joe Cole and Alberto Aquilani, mainly because we're stuck with them and there seems to be some lingering doubts over either Aquilani's desire to play in England or LFCs desire to pay Roma based on appearances.
This means several things.
a)There will be no high profile/marquee signings - that happened last summer where we spent heavily to fill the obvious holes in the squad. It's not relevant whether these players were worth the money - we have them now and will use them unless they are not EPL standard and lack the youth to improve markedly.
b) We will focus on signing young players with an eye to developing them in the powerhouse LFC squad of the future. These players will be cheap(er) and have low wages. So if Sigurdssen thinks he can walk into LFC on more than 30 or 40k a week at 22, he can go somewhere else.
c) If LFC signs anyone worth more than 12-15m pounds I will be surprised.
And for the record, Meireles isn't all that. He scored a few goals in successive games. The rest of the time he was no better than any other player we have. He was also the "fans" player of the year - not player of the year. People tend to remember the spectacular and forget the flatness that came before and after. After all, he beat out Fernando Torres and David Liuz for the award, and neither was any good that season. In the end he submitted a transfer request - that's why we got nothing for him.
