KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum $150 + m transfer kitty? pfft! sell before we buy more like!

Something is not right about our financials?
The last set released in March this year did not show the prem & tv money from 15/16 season of 92 or so million...anybody can correct me on that?

They've been handed a further 148.4 million for last season 16/17, so where the feck is this money going to?

We were told of this huge transfer kitty by Paul Joyce of The Times (a go to media source for the suits at Anfield)...

Klopp says he will be given significant funds to improve his squad this summer.

Time has come for us to spend big, warns Klopp

The familiar gnashing of teeth could be heard as Liverpool beat a despondent retreat from the King Power Stadium at the start of the week, though, by the end, the loudest sound was perhaps that of the penny finally dropping.

Jürgen Klopp yesterday outlined plans for another summer of change at Anfield and, in doing so, intimated the greatest transformation will actually be in the overall approach to transfer dealings. After a period in which outgoings [Luis Suárez, Raheem Sterling and Christian Benteke] have balanced incomings, Liverpool’s intention will be to spend, spend, spend.

"I will have the money for sure" the Liverpool Manager said!

They released the commemorative kit and by all accounts sales have been record breaking...so why the feck are they not spending money on the squad? I'm sick of this BS about the window ONLY just opening because teams have been negotiating before the last season ended!

We are still using the same set of amateurs to negotiate deals minus a token scouser because our new one's role has been broadcast that he won't have anything to do with player transfers!

Klopp must be p*ssed at FSG no matter what he says in the media,
FSG like to squeeze every last drop and then try for more! I hate them with a passion...they are poison, they need to go!

Klopp calling for big spend and hinting at higher level of quality is a touch déjà since Rodgers did that in successive seasons and all he got was repeated ass loads of useless prospects. I doubt that's what Klopp has in mind as he ploughs Rodgers well worn furrow. What I wonder will the FSG response be? Will they finally ditch what's left of the failed moneyball policy and opt to finance and sign Klopp's first choice targets or will they tell him to dig out the 2nd, 3rd 4th choices?
It'll be Interesting to see just how much they value they place on Klopp and his top targets.

Relax our top targets Long and Shawcross are still on their hols, all will be sorted very soon

He doesn't look [oops] at all, so he must be a great actor

@redneckscouser

Yeah that's why so many are frustrated with FSG, we thought Klopp signified change but they are completely sapping every last drop of excitement from the fanbase. Are we inspired by a form of ruthlessness in transfers? No.
Yet they probably promised Klopp a completely false sense of reassurances.

@hercules

This is such a pivotal transfer window, this is what many fans are reserving judgment on FSG for. We'll se if they pull through, or more so if Klopp can bulldoze his way through that stupid transfer commitee

Yeah it's just a big money making cash cow and for me the club I once loved has died !

You're a right little bundle of joy aren't you?

I really don't understand where this cash cow tag comes from, they probably don't now what a cash cow is in business strategy

No idea. Just something else to throw at the owners I suppose.
