Ed002's Note - What have I been pulled up on? De Light joining after I said he wouldn't? Coutinho returning after I said he wouldn't? }

Come on Ed be fair, you say you are not having a go at me but I never mentioned any names to come in, just the fact you said we couldn't afford them.

I was actually intrigued why we can't spend on players of that calibre, or we can if we sell Salah etc

Come on mate I am sorry you are getting abuse, truly am but please don't infer I have mentioned any transfers.

Cheers

Macca.

{Ed002's Note - I won’t be doing it anymore and assume you will step in.}

Why would you assume that Ed when I merely asked a question of finances?

Am I wrong for asking?

If its easier for me not to post then please say?

Cheers

Macca.

I'm a little concerned about the money talk but not at ed002. Just generally speaking where are we at?

If we have to sell to buy then we are well and trully knackered. We can't lose any of the starting 11, that's just a recipe for disaster.

Do we have anything to worry about ed?

{Ed0333's Note - I think people are under the impression that we have oil and gas money type owners because Becker and VVD were bought for gargantuan money. You have to appreciate the owners are profoundly adept at running a sports franchise. Yes they pump money into the Red Sox but that’s theirs baby Liverpool FC is not. They are successful savvy, affluent businessman for a reason. Becker and VVD were funded due to Couts money, a low net spend in previous seasons and the blindingly obvious need for a world class defender and keeper. In my opinion and I’m not an LFC accountant but I would think £75 million purchases are the exception rather than the norm.

Exactly my thoughts ed033. I don’t expect the big money 70mill plus signings every year unless a big player moves.

The owners made a push for the league we just need to support the team and hope they get over the line.

Considering the amount of money invested in players over the past 12 months is it really that hard to understand that Liverpool cannot continue this way?
Currently Liverpool do not need the likes of De Ligt, Coutinho and Pulisic. They have a very good team and a couple of youngsters who if given time will strengthen the squad.
Personally I think ye should just support the current squad and look forward to the Crystal Palace game next weekend instead of dreaming for a big money signings.

{Ed0333's Note - I’d say it’s human nature to want big money signings as this is what a lot of supporters pray for. I’m not gonna lie I would love a big money signing this month a Fekir or a Coutinho. Why should the fans worry about the money side of the football club? We have so many other woes in life our football club is our outlet and release. Let the people paid to run the club worry about the finances. If we spend 100 million on a player it doesn’t phase me at all. Why should I care?

I understand that Ed0333 but the club does not have a bottomless pit of money to make those signings every year. After signing Van Dijk, Allison, Fabinho and Keita added with a bargain in Shaqiri in the past 12 months I think ye have had a fair share of big money signings recently!
I think supporters need to be realistic about transfers and it was only 8-9 years ago the club was in serious financial trouble!
