January Window

We need(ed) Guehi irrespective of who is or who will be in charge. I think CB's are affected less by whatever style a manager employs when compared to other positions on the pitch.

If we don't sign Guehi heads need to roll irrespective of any other potential lack of transfer activity this month.

Looking forward to heads rolling in the near future.

Man Uniturds reportedly interested in Glasner.

Seems like it's probably already a done deal behind the scenes, hence Glasner leaving end of season- Carrick to take charge rest of the season only.

What's the obsession with 3 at the back for them ?

A bald head rolls further and faster than most. Hughes and Edwards will likely dodge the bullet.

They should be rolling, but they won't be, at least not in the near future. It must be nice to work in a profession where you can screw up and either keep your job, or get moved on whilst being given a massive wedge of cash to console yourself with.

And the youth setup....

And........

And.........

do you think it's a well run club at the moment and forward thinking (Not talking about money, everything else)

[Steveo]

Honestly I don’t know. I firmly believe the club relied so much on everything Jurgen brought - the philosophy - mentality and the work ethic… I would hope much of that remained… But the evidence is scant

I just feel like we're one step behind all the time, especially with transfers and squad planning.

Hahahaha

Chelsea after a CB Rennes' 20-year-old defender Jeremy Jacquet is one of their main targets.

I get buying youth, but it's a bit over the top, no? a few quality proven players in a few positions they could be a real force.

Maybe i'll be wrong but if bournemouth sign Rayan I give it a few seasons until he moves to a bigger club.

Yep and having to count on 34 year old VVD and Konate.... whos future is up in the air...

It'll be same as this summer, too little to late... and look what happens, we've had years to plan for the future.. why do we always leave it until last minute ? why do we put ourselves in these situations?

It's not good enough, and you can't say that's a well run club, it's a farce.

Virgil’s a bit of a Maldini though he has a few years left yet

Still can’t believe the mess Edwards Slot and Hughes have made of our transfers this season

Kerkez Guehi Frimpong No6 Semenyo Ekitike

Keep Diaz and Nunez

Let Gakpo, Elliott and Quansah go

Our front line and back line and midfield all sorted for a good 5 years, far greater strength in depth 433 winning the league again

We’d have spent 150m less too accounting for the No6

A front line of Diaz Ekitike Semenyo with Frimpong Salah and Nunez would have been awesome too

What the FUCK were they thinking they should all be sacked for this 65 million for Semenyo is less than the 30m we paid for Mane in today’s market

Fun fact from 19/20 to today, 7 seasons including this one, the top4 big net spenders in the PL are:

1) Manu 1,003 million net
2) Arsenal 947 million net
3) Chelsea 847 million net
4) Spurs 834 million net

Which ever way you see it, it strikes me as being very odd that they've gone from being penny pinchers to blowing their load in a single window.

Klopp net spending 16/17 to 19/20
LFC €93.35

Net spending Klopp 20/21 to 23/24
LFC €297.05

Net spending Slot 24/25 to 25/26
LFC €258.4

So let's round off the figures.

Klopps first four years of net spend.
€25 mill a season

Klopps second 4 years
€75 mill a season

Slots first 2 years
€125 million

When you consider inflation, greater CL revenue, the increase in spending isnt that much.

When you consider the Klopp outlook the succesful period of transfer spending was the
16/17 to 19/20.
This is also the most succesful era of LFC in modern times, or post 1990.
Of course the Klopp outlook arose from German football with fan ownership & cheap matchday tickets.

Ah right. I thought that might have been what you were alluding to.
