KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Transfer spending too 10 last 30 years

I want us to buy the best players we can regardless of cost and so we can try and challenge. You may be happy for us to be mid table but that's not for me.

think we all see things differently, I can see your point about wanting the best players but do you actually care about the long term future of the club, it's ok if you don't because the modern fan is only interested in about 1 or 2 seasons time anyway.

You see the Club got itself into trouble a while ago by spending beyond the means and I personally would rather see us mid table than go through that again.

I don't know if you watch other clubs situation but years ago Leeds did the very same thing your talking about as in trying to keep up with bigger, richer Clubs, they got into trouble and ended up on a downward spiral to the point they got relegated and they still haven't recovered to this day, if it can happen to Leeds and another once big club like Glasgow Rangers then it can certainly happen to us...

Buying the best players doesn't mean the most expensive. I want the right players regardless of name or price tag. If that's a nobody for £1m then great. Same too for a superstar for £60m. If they're right and do the business I couldn't give a toss.

The long term future of the club is absolutely fine for now. We won't do a Leeds as we were and still are a much bigger club. We might end up mid table but it wi t be down to overspending. I can't remember a time when we've lived beyond our means since the mid 80's when I first started watching.

And to assume I'm a 'modern fan' who couldn't give a shitte is a bit much. I could make the assumption that you're a miserable old b'stars going by what you post but I won't.

You don't seem to understand or grasp modern football, the figures you are talking about applied over 10 years ago. Look at the money clubs like Bournemouth and Norwich are spending now, even Middlesbrough in the Championship! The money thats in football now is crazy, £100k a week doesn't get you top quality anymore.

I remember us signing Stan Collymore for a club record £8.5million in 1995, for the same sort of money recently we have signed complete dross like Luis Alberto who barely made an appearance.

yes I am an old miserable b'stars ure completely rite would you expect anything else from a Liverpool supporter given we are in the worst state since Shanks took over

Net spend is most important. Buy a couple of ok players sell your best make a profit. Win [oops] all

yep ure completely rite, according to these net supporters did you know Newcastle United give us Andy Carroll and 15 million quid...

Well going on there way of thinking they did anyway because we sold Fernando Torres for 50 million quid so he never really cost 35 million...

You spend 800 odd million you should have won things whoever you sold. Net spend has been fine since FSG came in. Far more than 12 million somebody quoted. Made up figure.

Whatever comes and goes for a Club the size we used to be we should of won at least one league in 26 years. If you look around other countries all the so called big clubs won leagues every so often like Ajax, Benfica and Anderlecht e.t.c. Ours must of been a record even tho it's a disgraceful one...

Almost all our signings have been cáck though - regardless of price.

Lallana, Lovren, Balotelli, Markovic and Benteke all for more than £ 25 M for example.

Doesn't get any better when our bargain bin signings also turn out cràp though.
