    Maybe they're banking that this summer they'll get it right on the pitch and that will offset the losses because of the pandemic and we're taking a more cautious approach?

    Could also be that we're just biding our time - bound to be other clubs beside Valencia desperate to sell decent players for cheap.

    Could even be that Klopp thinks we're fine.

    ... but it could also be that the owners are more than a bit skint.

    Bitters are signing James Rodriguez, bet he turns out like all their other big name signings, decent at first but soon disappears...
    Top Red, cheerleader and fanboy.

    Indeed. Waste of money that if it goes through. Clubs (semi-speculating) seem to be spending big this Summer in the hope of guaranteeing Top Four to offset losses further down the line. Whereas we have had 97 and 99-point seasons and don't feel a need to invest to stay in the upper part of the League.

    Speaking purely "financial security" there, I am not by any means suggesting that we as fans should be happy with, say, 4th and no trophies in 20/21, we're far too good for that.

    I dunno - he won't be playing for whoever managed them before - he'll be playing for Carlo Anche-fucking-lotti. He might know how to get the best of him.

    Where's all the spending got them ?. Not even close to a European place. They should improve this season now they have finally got a decent manager.

    If you're not sure what to do with the ball, just put it in the net, and we'll talk about the other options later... Bob Paisley.

    Other clubs are spending big because they know they need to as they were so far behind us last season.

    I don't think it's about can, it's about want. We clearly don't value him that highly at present. We've spent big in the past and have overspent even under Edwards, if the target was extremely valuable to us for some reason - Oxo being a prime example.
