Happy now, you colossal jizz pong champion?
Granted I'm not as clued up on Liverpool's finances as others but wasn't most of the outlay you spent last summer all offset from the Suarez mega deal? In terms of net spend I don't think FSG have really ever opened up the cheque book ever since the disasters of lol Carroll and lol Downing.Quote:

It reminds me a lot of our situation prior the last two years where we had to make a transfer profit every year on player incomings and departures, though unlike us where there was a reason for plight (stadium) and a clear end game strategy to it, I'm not sure there is one for you guys other than to make the club financially stable. Basically a less cancerous version of the Ashley model at Newcastle.
Thing is that I kind of think you were lured by Ings and Milner more because they were free signings rather than because of the quality of them (would you have bought them if there was a fee?) which isn't a wise way to operate if you want to be a top four club imo.
I dunno, if I was a Liverpool fan I would be growing increasingly annoyed with FSG though coming of the back of the disasters that was Hicks and Gillet, I suppose they'll always be regarded as saints by some and probably afforded a lot more leeway than other owners.
Khedira has signed for Juventus.

Just listening to the Tuesday Club podcast. Alan Davis ripping Liverpool for the way they've hung Sterling out to dry. Ex Liverpool players ripping him in public....nasty club. He's still a kid that needs to protecting is his argument. He'd have him here if it weren't for the price tag.
It's true, usually I side with the clubs on these situations but Sterling's not doing anything wrong. If he signed a contract and wanted to leave then tough luck. But he doesn't want to sign a new contract and that's his choice. Liverpool are shitting themselves because they're going to lose out on about £30m and he might leave to a rival. After the way they cheated Suarez out of the Arsenal move, why would any player trust them? Look forward to your Danny Ings and Hendersons, no world class talent is joining you any time soon.
I agree. You can't force a player to sign a new deal and I hate when clubs do the whole smear campaign thing. It's nasty. If a player signed a new deal and tried to engineer a move away, that's different but in this case a player just doesn't want to sign. I agree with you.
