As another transfer window ends I was just looking at Liverpool's transfer record under Brendan Rodgers. We will have spent nearly £300m once the Ings fee is agreed.
Success or failure - I have highlighted in red the one's I think have been successful, see what you think. In order to be fair I have excluded players signed this summer which brings the amount spent to just over £200 million pounds. I think the jury is still out on Sakho, Lallana (not hopeful) and Can. I think Mignolet, Coutinho and Sturridge have improved the team. There combined fees comes to £37.5 million. This means that in my opinion (and it's only my opinion)we have bought bought approximately £165 million pounds worth of players that have not improved the team.

Whether all responsibilities should lie on the manager is open for debate, but sanctioning only the assistant managers after such a debacle is irresponsible. LFC has turned out to be a joke these days and it looks like business as usual to me. I would pity the match going fans who pay their hard earned money for such waste and I am not spending a penny on the club until further notice.

That's rather depressing.
It's not so bad for a few gambles that didn't get much game time, Assaidi for example was sold for a similar amount. Few loans were 'ok'
Aspas and Alberto were unmitigated disasters. I hate spunking £7-8m on nowhere players, such a waste. Llori's another one we'll probably never see in the league.
It's worrying how bad last summer's were. Lallana, Markovic, Lovren, Moreno. Still hoping for improvements but Lovren looks like a wreck at times and I don't feel Moreno/Lallana will ever cut the mustard.

Clyne, Gomez may turn out to be good business.
The ones that stick badly are Lallana, Lovren and Markovic.
Markovic has been a real disappointment. Lallana looks like he just hasn't got the mentality required to play for a top 4 club. I thought he'd be better.
I wonder whether we should be interested in Wanyama. Can we really buy any more S'ptn players?

Every player in the team are his signings. He has no excuse. It's a crying shame that after all those players bought. All that money spent. We seem to still be lacking replacements for the star players that were here already.

Decent shout but it would take serious money to land him. Very good player though.
