That's the price of this prospect policy, you splash a lot of money on a scattergun approach, for an ass load of prospects, in the vain hope of a lucky strike or two. In the meantime you're going backwards against your rivals. I wonder how and when and even where it's all going to end up. Have to say I don't have a good feeling about it.
Some seem to think we can more or less stand still with this policy in or around 5th - 8th, but in my experience if you're not progressing you're going backwards, and things can slide out of control very quickly at a certain point. Time will tell.

Not a fan of our recent policy, but here's a thought.... Maybe we will continue to by "young talents" or "prospects for the future" - but at the same time our current squad will mature and add experience.... meaning that in say two or three seasons time we will have a core group of players in their prime, plus talented prospects making up the squad and pushing for places... I'm clutching at straws here people !!!

The players in their prime .. Performing well
Will be sold by fsg ... For profit..
This is money ball ...
Fsg not interested making Lfc a success on the pitch by winning trophies ...and keeping they're best players and signing more quality players to be more successful
If a trophy is won ...It will be by luck ... And players will still be sold

And how often has this happened? Suarez is about the only one sold at a profit. The rest of the sales were the crap we didn't want anyway.

That's basically straight out of the Arsenal strategy guide to success. In theory it could work the problem is if we continue to lose top players season after season, we'll always be right on the cusp of success.

But we have to remember it's G and he's in his own little world.

Gotta remember it was Suarez who was desperate for his dream move, hardly FSG cashing in. Besides Suarez, just about every player we've sold since FSG wasn't playing particularly well. Carroll and Downing have done ok at smaller clubs, but the rest of them were Joe Coles, Jovanovics, Christian Poulsens, and the like. Kuyt and Maxi were pretty good players on their day, but old and slow. Gerrard will be 35 when he leaves. Torres had been in shiite form, and was never better for Chelsea.

And Suarez is not pulling up any flowers at the moment for Barc. Hardly any players play better once they leave Liverpool (The grass is not always greener)
