He's under pressure this transfer window and must spend the Suarez money cleverly.

People keep saying that he needs to spend the Suarez money wisely, how is everyone so sure that he hasn't already spent it on the signing we have made?!
after all i cant see us bringing in more than 1/2 more signing this window, which would prob take our spending to around the 90/100 million mark for the summer.

All managers are under pressure every season... part and parcel mate! Spot on. There are no free seasons for any manager any more. The biggest pressure will be on his transfer dealings, he's failed miserably with nearly all of his transfers since the sturridge and cout window, and thus quite rightly will be under the microscope, we will see what he does with all this money but I'm terrified of kenny mk II based on who we have signed thus far. +1

Well, most of the Kenny signings turned out ok. Coates and Carroll were the only real flops, really. Henderson's come good, and even Downing did pretty well in Brendan's first season.

Towards the end of that season he was actually starting to look like a proper footballer. I remember him playing a big part in the win over Bale fc. Not a great signing, but not quite a flop. Diouf, Aspas, and Carroll were flops. Downing was just average.

I would even say that Caroll was unlucky with injuries though the fee paid was too big. His game against City on his return when he scored 2 was top, but then got injured again. Adam was ok for his fee but got injured too after half a season. Coates never came good though. Downing was much better than Aspas.

Is this the make or break season for BR? With the money that's being spent I don't think he'll have any excuses. Of course there are teams with bigger budgets for wages & transfers, but we'll need to be comfortably challenging the top 4 all the way else BRs position could become vulnerable I suspect.
Personally, I think we stumbled across the success we achieved last season. Our approach was very different to the style BR oiginally seemed to have in mind. It was also propelled by the simultaneous success of Sturride, Suarez, Sterling & Coutinho. I don't think BR planned or expected this.
The defence is also a huge concern an hasn't been addressed for a long time. With the money he has spent and will further spend and after the 2nd place of last season, CL qualification is a minimum.

No, no he didn't. Add downing to the flop list, and making sure we all understand the suarez deal was sorted long before kenny started pointing out players he wanted, it's pretty clear most of kennys signings were utter rubbish. Not just in hindsight, everyone knew they were bad signings, hence him losing a job despite nearly winning 2 cups.

He was starting to look a real handful. Did well against Chelsea and Everton in the league and in the FA cup. If he'd have started, we might have actually won the second trophy.
