KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum How did we manage to be in the shadows of Tottenham Hotspur?

I cannot fathom how three desired players have gone to Tottenham over Liverpool. What is our missing quality? Is it finance? The clubs stature? Policy? As far as I'm concerned Liverpool make a lot more revenue than Tottenham, so I don't see how they've left us for mud AGAIN.

I see the obvious counter argument 'we won't be wasteful with money' but it's evident that Tottenham are not being wasteful as they've been finishing ahead of us by some margin for a quite a while now.

Sure, we're being tough and not overspending for players, but being stubborn is exactly what Arsenal have done and look at their demise. What's the point of saving money if you don't spend it.

Also, I never even cared that much about getting Willian but the fact that Tottenham can walk right in and scoop him up is terrifying.

FSG are terrified to spend big money after what KD done with large sums of money.

That's exactly what it is, you gotta spend big! In the words of Jerry Maguire "Show me the money!!!"

To me, that is false. The club are not going to spend money beyond the value they place on players... That is all.

Well I think we dodged a bullet on the other two players we missed out on as they have hardly set the premiership alight in a Spurs jersey.

Dempsey (has he left?) and Sigurdssen have been bit part players at best.

Willian may be a different story but we wont know that straight away.

I have a terrible feeling that at some stage we are going to be told that our most important signing in this window was keeping Luis Suarez.

Against his will!

They are in the wrong game if they expect value for money.

Has Willian even signed for Tottenham yet?

Willian is too much for 30m, but regardless of that they been beating us to signings lately.

where the hell have they managed to pull £90m from? thats the same sort of spending city have managed this season. they will have broken their record transfer fee 3 times in this window if this deal goes through. hard to believe. bale must certainly be on his way out.

big shame that we're falling so far behind tottenham. i can't get my head around it
