Just a thought here, it was only a couple of weeks ago that BR in an interview stated that we would only be making 2/3 additions this summer.
Since this, we have signed Milner on a free and Ings, for probably around the 4m mark. Add Bogdan as another free to this, and the 2/3 additions are complete?
Player sales should bring in a minimum of 20m odd, so are we looking to be in minus spend?
An for what its worth, the signing of Danny Ings has pretty much completed 1 of the worst seasons we have ever been through as a club.
Allot of people on here talk about signing world class players, well try talking to those players and stating your ambition with the arrival of a Burnley CF and the pending arrival of a Bolton GK, lets see how far that gets us. I am absolutely discusted that there are people out there, even some of our own fans that believe, players of Ings capabaility are good enough to grace our football club. Horrifying.

Ings is a good player. He isn't a top player tho so there will be a backlash.

No he meant 2 or 3 top players to come in the starting XI. You may be able to count milner in this category at a stretch but not Ings (at the moment) or Bogdan.

We only need look back over the last two summer windows where we signed around 20 players and not a half decent player among them, what a criminal waste of money in pursuit of moneyball mediocrity. These guys don’t care if we win anything or not, it’s all about money and ROI for them, hence all these statistically selected potentials. They could change course, but the current financial returns would suggest they stick rather than twist, so we are where we are and likely to stay there for some time, until we start droping like a stone down the ratings.

Why all the fuss FFS? We've got a couple of free transfers coming in which are pretty good bits of business. The transfer window isn't even open yet either so a bit of patience is needed.

Red haired lad, plays keeper for Bolton.
Not a bad shot stopper but worse distribution than Mignolet.

He's a great keeper for the championship, but nowhere near goo enough to challenge for top 4 in the EPL

If Ings was Argentinian or Spanish or Brazilian, people would be excited, regardless of his talent. But because he's english people are already writing him off. 11 goals last season in his debut premier campaign. That's more than anyone at Liverpool managed. 11 goals in a relegated team that create sod all could easily equate to 20 for us. Because he has already played in the EPL and done well, he's more likely to succeed than any foreigner.

I don't think he will massive success at Liverpool but fully agree with what your saying especially the first bit.
