January Window

[Nineteenx]

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.

Chelsea have agreed personal terms with Jeremy Jacquet.

Didn’t they buy that other lad we were linked with too, Hato was it?

He's obviously not the same player as he once was already, and shouldn't have to count on him to play every single game

Yeah I wanted hato

Chelsea will be some team in a couple of years, they need to get a new goalie and a top CB though, also they'll be able to raise a lot of funds probably from player sales... arsenal have a really good age-profile too, not just squad with some young lads coming through that look really good... we really need to get it right next windows, otherwise it's back to fighting for top4 every year

trevoh Chalobah and Tosin Adarabioyo both will probably be off in the summer, I don't think they're the quality chelsea need.
