I don't think that's a fair on Rodgers transfer dealing. Firstly, many of the players he did bring in were brought in for the bench and as squad players. Lets look at the ones he spent the most on.
Sakho- good deal IMO
Sturridge - excellent
Coutinho - excellent
Aspas- poor but without a real chance
Borini- bought for the future and proving to be useful off the bench
Alberto- always meant for the future
Yes
Sakho- like his traditional defensive style but £17 million come on Ninja it's arguably early on but it's not looking like he will measure up to that price tag.
Sturridge- superb
Coutinho- superb for the fee.
Aspas- never will be LFC quality.
Borini- punt for £10 million. Like the lad, but we paid way over.
Allen- Jury still out and not looking like £15 million worth.
You can't be paying this for 'squad players' it's not Chelsea.
This window really has to be right- I am hopeful it will be but he has to do a lot better in this area.
I wouldn't say we overpaid for Borini at all, especially seeing as we can recoup all of it it seems and there are interested clubs.
Also, might I point to the fact that Sakho is 24 years old. He has at least another 7 years left in him, probably 8. He performed well in his first season in England with high expectations when he came in. I think he can only get better and that in today's market, you won't a single defender better than him for that pricetag, especially not one as young as him.
Was Allen worth the 15 mil we spent on him, at the moment no, but Hendo wasn't worth the 20 we spent on him either, but just look at the lad now. I will give Allen another season to prove his worth.
Aspas has turned out to be a flop, but i still think he is a very good footballer, he just hasn't really been given a run of games and he hasn't adapted as well as he might have liked. If he goes back to Spain, watch him, he'll be cracking them in in no time.
