I copied this off a post on Facebook, the top 10 gross transfers clubs in the last 30 years! A lot of money spent, but most of it has only been in the last 10-15 years. It just goes to show if you look at the teams around us they have all had success. I'm not saying we haven't been successful but compared to the teams around us we would be at the bottom. Think we need to improve our scouting system/ transfer policy hopefully klopp does that. In a way I respect him for choosing not to blow money or throw many at our issues but try to fix them within although it is very frustrating to watch at least he's giving everyone a fair chance!

Net please if you have it, otherwise it's meaningless for me.

Oooh that'll get some of the net spend doesn't matter brigade going top4!

Don't know the net just the gross

dint worry about the net spent that only applies to John Henry, FSG and the club also anyone who had put money into the club looking to see how much of a return there cash has given them. For us as fans and supporters we deal in gross as in how good the managers judgement on a player is against how good he is on the pitch, if we paid 60 million for Robbie Savage and he was rubbish then fans would hammer the manager for buying him for that much and rightly so it doesn't matter if they then sold him for 80 million and made a 20 million profit because we never benefit or see the money. Hope that clears up the net and gross argument up, fans always deal in gross when judging a manager...

Yep fans don't get involved in the politics of transfers. All I'm concerned about is we have spent a huge sum with not much to show for it!

exactly leave the net stuff for the accountants it's what value we have got on the pitch that matters...

Net is entirely valid though, for everyone. All we've done lately and all we've spent has been down to selling high value players. Look at utd last season and their net spend was over £100m. It means they're spending on good players (debatable in their case) and keeping what they have. I thought you of all people would use this to bash FSG?

I think fsg net spend is just over 12m

Since they have been in charge

Let that sink in to some fans on here

And fsg only concern is looking after the accounts and ready to sell the club in the summer

yes good points made there, for me that's the part i don't mind about FSG, they are keeping the Club ticking over. I don't want 20 or 25 million pound players coming in on 100k a week wages, I would rather have a good enough manager spending 10 - 15 million pound on players with top earners on about 60 grand. We can still be a top 6 Club and pick up cups along the way with that way of operating which is a lot better way than what we had in the past with 25 million pound players like Llalana, Henderson, Lovren and Benteke e.t.c and still finishing top 6 or so...
