Imagine if your friend just got a new job, had a big presentation coming up, and bought a new suit. It looks pretty smart, nothing special, and it's tailored, but you think, hey, that was smart. Everyone should have at least one tailored suit, it's an expense, but he's investing in himself.

Then he tells you it cost 20,000.

GO FOR IT! You exclaim. I respect your intent and desire!

Meanwhile, elsewhere in this thread, Nunez, with 42 appearances (more than I think Klopp wanted to use him his first year) is listed summarily in the context of failure as "dropped."

But we went for it with him? Did we not go for it enough? Should we have spent 20 million more so that he would be better?

I am not a fan of paying 100 million plus for Rice or 65 million for Havertz. But they seem to have a plan and are backing their manager and showing the intent to compete.
I am betting if they have a central defensive crisis through this season, they wont wait till Jan 31 to bring in two players on loan.

Ever since we won the league, nothing about FSG suggests an intent to compete. I have not advocated for spending large sums of money. I questioned whether it was worth spending all this time and money chasing after Bellingham. I have questioned the Thiago transfer as it was a departure from the profile of players we used to sign.

I want us to get back to the street smart Liverpool at the beginning of Klopp's tenure where we had a fairly decent success rate of signing players whose value literally doubled or tripled within a season of arriving at LFC. There seemed to be a plan, a strategy behind every signing.
 
I just see them finally having some money because they stripped down their squad and the wage bill due to a decade of utter failure.

Now that they have money they are overspending, badly.

The fact that our owners don't invest enough doesn't make it enviable to waste money.

Our owners want 4th place. That's it.
 
Spurs already spent 120-125m
Arsenal 200-210m

Meanwhile FSG waiting on that bid that’s not coming from Saudi for Mo before we can sign someone else.
 
WTF hahahahahahaha.

10-11 years ago and twitter still hasn’t changed other than a little blue tick, crazy!!!

22/23 - spent 192 million and got 24 million in sales. 21/22 - spent 167 million and got 32 million in sales.

I do agree that they are overspending in terms of the value of signings. But atleast they are trying. Rather than spend ages waiting for the "right midfielder". More than the money, my concern is the amount of time from Klopp years and the peak of our great team they were willing to sacrifice. We wasted a season waiting for the right central defender. Another season waiting for the right midfielder.

Wtf. So easy for people to hate on others because of something they did once upon a time half a century ago when they were a teenager.

Imagine if I judged you now based on how you lived life as a kid. Heck imagine if we all did that, society would be more fucked than it is today.

Haven't you noticed? Society is doing exactly that. Cancel culture.
 
In the same way Utd fans complain about the Glazers, imagine if they had FSG as owners....holy fuck, 12 years we've had to put up with this.

Most of the dickhead teenagers I grew up with remain dickheads in adulthood. It's a pretty good marker, generally speaking.

Arsenal again doing serious biz... Rice £105m, Kai Harvetz, £65m and Jurrien Timbers £45m

Like I said on another LFC forums, must be nice for them to win nothing season after season yet still have that backing from the Kroenke's....it's almost like the failure of last season has spurred them on to act in this ambitious manner we're seeing.

What’s better :

Backing from you owners to sign big, but win fuck all, spending a fortune in the process?

Owned by nation state embarking on sportswashing enterprise or some sort of investment fund - our soul has been sold, but we’ll win everything and be the biggest brand ever!!

Owned by tightarses that won’t put in money - win the odd trophy ever 3-4 years, not really sign superstars or spend loads, rely on managerial talent, blah blah blah

Neither are particularly great are they?

Before Klopp came we'd won 1 league cup in 5 years under FSG.......

At least under Kroenke, Arsenal were spending (not a fortune) but what a club like Arsenal should be & winning FA cups every other year.

Chelsea under RDM/Carlo/Conte is what we should be aspiring to.

2 Prems, 2 FA cups, 1 League Cup, 1 Europa, 1 CL in a 7-8 year span.

Pau Torres to Villa is an exceptional purchase.

Villa could genuinely be an underdog for top 5

Diego Carlos to come back as well.

An injury to Watkins could well destroy those ambitions, who even is their replacement striker?

Maddison to Spurs for 40 mill £. Thats a good move for Spurs and a good deal. Guess he feels gutted that he wont be assisting Harry Kane but crossing the ball to Richarlison instead.
