Either BR or FSG need to come clean because these transfer decisions are baffling to me.
We pay 8million for Illori, loan him out every season then loan him to Villa with a option to buy.
Markovic we paid 20million, use him in the wrong position as a wingback and then loan him to Turkey.
Mario - signed for 16million, played a few times, loaned back to Italy.
That is 44million worth of talent loaned out this summer.
Another view is that these are transfer committee signings which BR was not happy to have forced upon him to start with, it is obvious that Lallana, Allen, Lovren, signed from British teams and thought to be BR signings get more opportunities.
Either way this situation is a joke, if I was a chairman of a football club my first port of call for cheap players on loan or to sign would be Liverpool FC, we are such mugs.
