Nothing that has been done this transfer window suggests anything but the fact that Klopp is in charge of transfers. Last year we probably would've bought Chilwell but for more like £15m!


We'll have to agree to disagree...we dropped our interest in Chilwell because Leicester wanted too much for him...I'd say that was being priced out of it. But it's not that I have a problem with, it's a kid with zero experience as competition to the hapless Moreno! The team is DYING for a quality EXPERIENCED Left Back not a makeshift DM,CM or AM...a specialized LB!


If by Leicester asking too much you mean priced out then yes, we were. But that's not the same as not being able to afford or not having the money to spend on players. I'm not bothered by the link to him and I'm over the moon we didn't get but fukked for him like we have before.

Did you ever just think we refused to be ripped off again?

I wish were priced out of a move for caroll and benteke and Markovic amd Moreno


It's a debate forum so people will disagree on anything and everything. For Mane some said we were ripped off, some are saying we were priced out for Chilwell, while others were probably getting ready to say that we were ripped off if we had bought Chilwell

Some people like to bury their heads in the sand when it comes to FSG. When theres a discussion about what they are doing wrong some people on here say "we know they are only there for money purposes , stop moaning, accept it" the same recycled BS excuses instead of us trying to think of a way of changing things at the club which we can. At the end of the day the fans control the club, we can drive them out.

Lets drive them out then. What do you suggest? I'll be as happy as the next man when they leave but there's no way to force them out as far as I can see.

As far as owners go I just think we could do worse. Look at Man city as the best case scenario. We are a million miles away In terms of stadium squad playing staff everything.

But villa were bought same time as we were. They're the worst case. But you have owners like the ones at QPR or Cardiff.

I don't care if john Henry doesn't care. As long as he keeps reinvesting the advertising and TV revenues I'm happy. As long as he keeps trying to make us successful I'm happy. People forget that if we are successful on the pitch. We would make him more money. Surely it's in his best interests to want to succeed too.

SUCCESSFUL? We havent been successful in years. We havent won the league in 26 years. We have competed for the league probably 3 times since then. We had a huge revival in the league in the 2000s but the last 6/7 years have been bad...really bad.

Dont mention investments please. We made a profit from the transfer market this summer. And the massive tv deal figure sitting in the bank. We havent competed for top 4 simple as that. The one year we did get it was when 4/5 teams were going through a massive transition. FSG dont give a f*k about liverpool. Show up when we make it to finals and thats it.

Yea lets extend the stadium (which i agree with) but lets be a failure on the most important thing, the pitch. By Liverpool standards we have been a failure in recent years. We can get back to where we once were but no under a group of owners only there to keep the club ticking over before they make a profit.

I did say try.

I'm sure he'd prefer to be winning. But only 1 in 20 wins the league. Not everyone can win. Apart from city Chelsea and Utd who else has been successful?

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.


Rubbish he has said he has money to spend, the newspapers have said he's got money to spend, but won't spend for the sake of it. We need a good attacking left back that is better at defending than Moreno, and if there isn't one on the market there's nothing he the club can do apart from pay ridiculous money.

This is our best squad I think since 2013/14 season and apart from that season probably our best squad since 08/09. Klopp has got his players, we've kept our best players, it's up to the manager to deliver.
