It was always noticeable how badly we fared when negotiating outgoing transfers - from running players' contracts down - McMannaman, Owen, to selling decent players for next to nothing - Warnock, Carson, Riise, Guthrie Hammill, Arbeloa, Kuyt, Meireles, Ayala, Kelly - just a few examples on from an endless list.
Since Klopp's arrival - we've sold a lot of surplus stock - for decent money:-
Lambert 3m
Sinclair 4m
Ibe 15m
Canos 2.5m
Allen 13m
Skittles 5m
Smith 3m
Alberto 6m
Illori 3.75m
Benteke 27m
The only one we lost out on was Suso
It's now rumoured that we'll sell Sakho for £30m and the kids all have price tags on them when they leave
All of which should make wage and transfer budgets stretch further and make it easier for the owners to trust the manager's judgement.
