Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit.

[I am invisible]

Not sure he is, Ramsey especially is not good at winning the ball back in his own half.

The point is, Vidal would have be £30m better at winning the ball back than Ramsey to really justify it - as it is, I don't think there's much in it, and I think Ramsey edges it on goals and assists (and is less of a red card waiting to happen).

And it still doesn't mean we should be signing him as a DM.

[Power n Glory]

The ones I think were wasted money were players like Santos - £6-7m may not be a great deal, but we should still have been able to get a decent LB for that money, without having to sacrifice other purchases to do it? Didn't we get Sagna for something like £6m?

Yep, Sagna was £6m. I think we had a left back injury problem at the time and needed a player but didn’t do our research. You can add that £6m on to the £16m for the rest of the players. You can’t blow £22m like that on players who made no difference to our season.

32 million for Benteke is a lot but he's got 49 goals in 101 games for Villa apparently, that's almost 1 goal every 2 games which is a great record.

Brendan is collecting strikers.

Collects them then gets rid of them.

This will most likely spell doom for Borini, Lambert and in all likelihood Balotelli.

Leaves us with Sturridge (), Benteke, Origi and Ings. All depends on whether Sturridge can get fit again and if Benteke fits into the team. If not then it spells doom for Rodgers as well.

What would be acceptable for your lot? Just top 4 enough?

[The Emirates Gallactico]

It's quite a lot of money but then again they've just wrangled 49 million for Sterling so they're in no position to complain about over priced players.

Decent transfer as it's probably the best striker they can attract given their current status (no CL football, perennial 5 - 7th place team) however the constant turnover of players every summer is something that should concern any Liverpool fan. This would be the 7th first team incoming this summer; more than three and there are usually problems gelling it all together. Just gives all the indications of a transfer committee/manager who really has no long term plan or vision to build a squad.

Yeah I'd say so. We're probably where we should be right now, so we can't expect anything more. Just got to hope United have another shocker. Though I wouldn't mind a decent cup run.

Frankly, I'd just take us playing some decent footie again after the garbage last season.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good to see Liverpool are learning to be circumspect in spending the big wad of money they receive.

[Letters]

This is basic stuff, Letters. If you sold your car, house or whatever asset, how much money will you be left with to spend?

You can't say we had no money to spend.

Ok, fine. By selling assets we had money to spend. But we had to sell to buy. We weren't in a position to go out and buy an Ozil or a Sanchez. Now we are, and we have. There is no doubt that since the new financial deals came in it has changed our ability to buy big and our transfer policy has changed accordingly.

[Maestro]

Let's just chuck £50 million on Gabriel Barbosa and Erik Lima and let's call it a day. Slap £100 million release clause on each, and let the fun times begin.

Go direct to the source and get the next best things. We've wasted a lot of time and money on much much less talented players for zero to little return.

JUST DO IT WENGET.

.....I'll just dream on in this corner
