We could sign 15 players jj, if the quality of those players isn't up to scratch.. what difference does it make?

And putting yourself on camera speaking so unrehearsed about the club in broad daylight... This who "actions speak louder than words" mantra is just a way to forever criticise... I'm not really knocking him jj. It's good to hear. But it means absolutely nothing if the money needed to compete isn't released. If they have the money to compete with anyone, why did we miss out on HM, Willian, Costa and why have we not spent more than about £8m this window and yet we've let lots of ayers go (some dead wood I know). If the window closes with no other signings which is more than possible despite the links, he'll look as much a tw@t as a lot on here think he is.

So what was it that inspired you so much jj ? Well a lot of things... He avoids the kind of jargon that goes with trying to say we can be the best... A lot of people quote him on the back of the "we CAN compete with any club financially" which was on the back of talking about FFP. Context is key to me. He never actually talked a good game. He never played the camera. He answered clearly while playing down immediate expectations, while appearing optimistic. He actually showed a lot of belief in the way the club are working, and what is progressing. He spoke about his beliefs about what successful clubs do right, and he spoke about the philosophy in the transfer market that a lot of people, I think, misconstrue. I realise I appear more pro than [oops] FSG, but it isn't as if I'm trying to appear an ambassador for them. I just think they're talking sense. Some people don't think he is deserving of more time. The whole "patience is earned" card is played over and over again. I feel like there is never going to be an acceptance of them. I am more worried we'd lose them and get worse. Some people say there aren't worse owners... The PL has a lot. Patience for what exactly, can you please elaborate. Don't think anybody is asking for the title next season, now if we need to be patient to get into the top 4, I would be interested to know what this means, CL in 10 years time or what?

If you watch the video he explains why wilkij1975.
Look, I think they're being damned either way. They look for value in the market and get criticised for not paying more. They pay more and they get criticised for over-paying. They get criticised for not building a strong enough squad. They get criticised for spending too much on salaries. They get criticised for selling players that actually aren't playing but costing the club money. They get criticised for choosing to stay at Anfield rather than fund a stadium. They get criticised for not investing millions from their own pocket to fund everything... And then, why they change how they work and spend they get criticised against the mistakes they've admitted and changed... WHERE DOES IT END?!
I'm baffled by the sheer hatred towards the owners. I'll be severely disheartened if fans drive them out. They're not the best thing since sliced bread, but they are proven successful owners... And despite not spending big on players, and purely signing players with some talent in form... Now they're criticised for missing out on what, 4 players, for signing players people haven't seen but judged already. Some other Liverpool fans have rarely been as fickle as they appear today.
All this talk of "we need to spend big" ... If we sign top players for good prices, they are still top players. Mignolet has been great for Sunderland. He has saved us at least 2 pts already, and still some people want to moan, others now think he is the best keeper ever. Toure was "shocking," now he is "formidable and brilliant," Aspas is criticised for not scoring... which is laughable because up until Notts County, only Sturridge had... Sakho looks like he is soon to sign and now there is criticism they are over-spending... It is hilarious. I'll be glad when the window closes. Not because I don't adore the rumour mill, because I revel in it... purely because I don't have to put up with fans moaning that we're not spending, when in fact, as I stated right at the start, we will, we are, we'll continue to.

Don't think anybody is asking for the title next season, now if we need to be patient to get into the top 4, I would be interested to know what this means, CL in 10 years time or what? Watch the video. Werner clearly states we need to get back in the CL. I'm not saying be patient while they finish 7th for the next 5 years, purely because I can't see it happening. I'm saying that if you ask anybody in the club how long they've been rebuilding, they won't say from the day the owners walked into the club. I think there is only so long you can judge on clear past mistakes...
