the embarassment of having such tramps as owners is being overshadowed by Klopps stature and the new season kicking off.
Surely when he took over, with a touch of any kind of normality, he would have had a 50/60m budget for the summer.
For a club supposedly challenging for 4th, this is a complete embarassment...
Marko Grujic – Red Star Belgrade – From Loan
Joel Matip – Schalke – Free
Loris Karius – Mainz – £4.7m
Sadio Mane – Southampton – £30m
Ragnar Klavan – Augbsurg – £4.2m
Alex Manninger – Free Contract
Georginio Wijnaldum – Newcastle – £23m
Spent: £61.9m
Players OUT:
Jordan Rossiter – Rangers – £250k (compensation)
Jerome Sinclair – Watford – £4m
Joao Carlos Teixeira – Porto – £250k (compensation)
Lawrence Vigouroux – Swindon Town – undisclosed
Sergi Canos – Norwich City – £2.5m
Jordon Ibe – Bournemouth – £15m
Martin Skrtel – Fenerbahce – £5.5m
Joe Allen – Stoke City – £13m
Brad Smith – Bournemouth – £6m
Christian Benteke - 30m
Net spend = - £14.6m, yes, that is minus 14.6m. In the season when TV revenue was due to be the largest in history. The Benteke deal just happened and I believe we will be signing again. Why don't you wait for the end of the transfers to make the analysis? I think it will make more sense.

If Klopp could buy, he would buy, he isnt buying because he cant buy.
Are you telling me in the whole footballing world there isn't a LB that suits us that we could sign. That is a complete joke.
The hard truth is, we have no money, after the sale of Ben, we will have a -15m net spend, Klopp will be allowed to use that 15m to bring in a left back.
We have to sell to buy, there is a 0 transfer budget this summer. A blind man could see it.

I'm with Mr. Bo. This is just another shouty bollox post and not looking at the big picture. We've spent wisely and improved the first team and got rid of players we didn't want or need. If we get a LB in that's an improvement on Moreno then I'd say it's been a very good window despite the net spend.

Henry, TC clowns and Rodgers spent and wasted over 100m plus of the clubs revenue on money ball, average, horse poo , over priced players....
Henry OUT!!! How is it his fault ? When Chelsea wasted money on shevchencko Torres and others. We're the plastics calling for Roman to leave? What about when city spent 25mil on lescott or 20mil on Santa Cruz?42mil on mangala. Should the sheiks be blamed for that?

Grujic wasn't free either or whatever 'from loan' means. He was £5m in January if you want to count that?

do you think this OP might be sparked because of the minor injury to mane? the fact that he is our only real marquee signing.

[/b]We have to sell to buy, there is a 0 transfer budget this summer. A blind man could see it.[b] Then good for them. They wasted enough money so they have sourced a world class manager who can improve the team on a budget. No matter what way you try and spin it. We have improved the team. It is better than last season. I think we will sign a left back. But as with mane gini klavan it won't be who we expect.

Yeah, a marque that was dubbed 'midtable Mane' by some but in reality looks a decent buy. I think it's been sparked because he obviously doesn't like FSG and comes down, again, in my opinion to a kind of computer game mentality. Net spend is all that seems to matter and not the bigger picture of an improved squad and the getting rid of a lot of dead wood for decent money.

If we get a LB in that's an improvement on Moreno then I'd say it's been a very good window despite the net spend. People were desperate for Benteke and skrtel to be sold. Smith and Ibe were said to be poor or not good enough. Rossiter would never make it. Tex is the new Pacheco. Allen is useless. Can't score or assist. Brendan's love child. Now because they've been sold we are short in numbers and we need them or their replacements.

I dont understand where Wiki and Bo are going with this, its kind of bizarre, going down a completely different route all together.
There is not a reds fan who didnt expect the signing of a defensive mid - Fact
There is not a reds fan who didnt expect the signing of a LB - Fact
The reason we have not signed them is because we have no money - Fact
We have to wait for the Benteke money before we make our next move - Fact
Our net spend will be less than WBA and Burnley, but its ok, because we have a better team than last year lol, errrrr, where did we finish in the league last year, was it possible to have a worse team?????
So because we had a terrible team last year and we have slightly improved that so far this year, whoop, that will get us challenging for the top 4 and then all that money we have saved, once we are in the champs league, our owners will go hard with a 150mil in the market lol.
And then the alarm clock goes off and we are back to reality.
