They’ve signed 12 players in the last 12 months for 500 mill, so much for efficient business.
Oil money, endless spending and 115 charges wins titles.
Fits the system. Will be a great fit for a new manager and will be a success.
He might be a great fit for the new manager. He's behind Ekitike however
How much did we spend and how many did we buy?
Yep the gayhating prick can do one.
No no no no. Wirtz is the next Messi, a generational talent that was definitely worth spunking the money we did on.
No but things can go wrong last minute.
They couldn't get their target in if i remember correctly, so Glasner threatened to walk.
If it's done at the start of the window, as we used to do more regularly, then they have time to plan.
We fucked this up, no other way of thinking about it. This was always a possibility, heads need to start rolling.
Edwards needs his head on a stick. Next to Hughes’ head on a stick. On the third stick is Slot’s head.
I'm all for the less negative spins and and fully on board with @Judge Jules position, but to say he had doubts in the summer is just plain silly - he agreed terms, allegedly did promotional photos etc only for his manager to fuck him over.
Aye but that doesn't fit the narrative of it being on the data nerds and Slot.
I think it is obvious there is a long term plan that is being played out that getting Guehi now would not be in line with (whether financially or for footballing reasons). Cast your mind back to the davies/Kabak window - the reluctance to sign a defender for a higher fee then was, in retrospect, obviously as it was known Konate was coming in the summer.
Whether that long term plan starts in this window or in the summer is another matter ...

Its done. Just needs finer points sorting.
Some people are saying hes not worth 300k a week.
They may be right but he's also a 60m+ defender in transfer fees.
I don't understand those those in the "this is fine" camp.
We dropped at least one ball.
Speaking to the media Slot talked about needing more attacking players.
Well Arne.. there was a cheap one of those too.. Semenyo.
One of those two was a minimum.. and we fucked it.
Paul Joyce:
Yet Liverpool also missed out on Martín Zubimendi in the summer of 2024, and could see the midfielder help Arsenal succeed them as champions, while Guéhi’s switch to City comes less than five months after he was in a scanner having a medical on a £35million move to Anfield.
Guéhi was never Liverpool’s priority centre-back signing last summer. That was Giovanni Leoni, the teenager from Parma, who suffered an ACL injury on his debut to wreck his season.
But it is clear Liverpool hoped Guéhi would recognise the efforts they had made to sign him before Palace co-owner and chairman Steve Parish pulled the plug on a deal on deadline day and, in turn, waited for them until the summer.
The flipside of that is that Liverpool are not as attractive a proposition now as they were then for any player.
City’s reputed wage offer of £300,000 a week, in addition to paying an initial £20million fee, was a deal Liverpool were unwilling to match financially. They had no intention of bidding this month.
