KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Top 7 teams Net Spend

They might not be 100% accurate, but here's a run down of the top 7 teams net spend during the Summer 2013.

Arsenal - £32.5m
Chelsea - £60.7m
Everton - (£12.5m)
LIVERPOOL - £15.3m
Man City - £86.8m
Man Utd - £28.9m
Spurs - (£3m)

A week ago most people here suggested FSG need to pull something out the bag or there'd be no going back.
Our marquee signing was Sakho (pleased with) and our defense looks solid now. We missed out on an attacking midfielder/winger I feel we really needed, but it seems they at least made a few bids of £20m+.

City and Chelsea would always spend big, Spurs lost their best player but gained a stronger squad, United and Arsenal gained 1 player each (I'm certainly pleased with united's only purchase).

- Considering the huge reduction in the wage bill over the past 12 months, total ins and outs compared to our competition, has it been a good summer for Liverpool FC over their main rivals? Or just a great one for FSG?

- Would we be as happy if Rodgers hadn't won the first 3 games...?

I think it has been a win for both Liverpool and FSG. We have a stronger squad then this time last year at a far lower wage cost and with a relatively low net spend. I think there probably was maybe another 5-10 mil in the kitty for players from a net point of view but keeping Suarez was far more important than any other 25mil+ player

lets hope he comes back the same player as last season, don't want to see him doing an El Sulko.

He's making all the right noises at least and didn't reeally push through anything in the last 2/3 weeks of the window so maybe he genuinely changed his mind

Tsss.

He didn't change his mind! Nonsense!

What happened is that LFC told him he couldn't leave! That's it!

Good marketing display from him though, to tell us all he changed his mind!

I actually have nothing against him staying, but it will never be the same again with him. Now I see him as LFC property only, and as soon as we don't need him anymore I assume we will sell him to Real for a record fee. Him telling us he has changed his mind is nothing more than PR.

The best thing about it all was Liverpool as a club was strong enough to keep Suarez where weaker teams would of folded.

He's like a child, maybe he's never grown up. Certainly throws him toys out the pram when he doesn't get his way.

Glad he stayed and I doubt he'll give less than 100%. They've probably told him he can leave next summer so he's playing for a move to Madrid and will need to show he can play great, and not bite people at the same time.
He might be buoyed by our 3 straight wins..

At least Arsenal didn't get him.

If we happen to continue our form ad get a champions league spot he may stay beyond next season! After all he was leaving to play CL football and we may be able to offer it next season.

I have no doubt he will stay if we get top 4! At least Liverpool showed they will not be bullied into selling our best players (especially not to a prem rival)

I think players will think twice about trying that crap with us again, and also the rotten agents will know not to bother.

Our net spend was less than Cardiff, Southampton and Swansea and similar to West Ham and Norwich's
