First season
Bought for £37.5m and sold for £33.5m.
-Switched keeper from Reina to ter Stegen. Very good choice and good deal.
-Got Alaba for £16.5m and has been my first choice on left back ever since.
-Also got rid of some players I felt I didn't need.

Second season
Bought for £200m and sold for £117m.
-Finally given a real transfer budget. Spent it all and rebuilt the squad.
-Got Neymar for £39m, he's still my first choice striker and has actually gone up in value to £40.5m.
-Sold Glen Johnson and bought Corchia for right back.
-Got Nkoulou and Zouma, both overpriced but still worth the outlay.
-Thiago and Isco for midfield.
-Also a few wonderkid regens, of which 3 of them are currently in or around the first team and keep rising in value.
-Got a ridiculous price for Assaidi after he had a good season. He has since declined both in value and skills.
-Nkoulou and Zouma are still my first choice central defenders, Thiago and Isco are still 2 of my 3 first choice midfielders, and as mentioned Neymar is still my first choice striker. Definitely the window that set my philosophy of playing into action, and definitely worth the huge costs.

Third season
Bought for £9m and sold for £11m.
-Mostly just got rid of unnecessary players and added some depth. Most boring window of them all.

Fourth season
Bought for £27m and sold for £134m.
-Jonjo Shelvey to Chelsea for £30m.
-Daniel Agger to Real Madrid for £31.5m.
-Luis Suarez to Barcelona for £45m.
-Daniel Sturridge to Wolves for £13m (bought him for £1.8m the previous season).
-Also sent a lot of players out on loan, most of them either regens or players I signed on free transfer the same window.
-Got Papadopoulos for £10.5m and Roberto (regen) for £12m. He is currently worth £18.75m, will probably rise to £30m within a year from now as he's just as good as Isco at AMC.
-Best window by far when it comes to the financial aspect.

Fifth season
Bought for £81m and sold for £120m.
-Last window so far, currently in April 2017 and still a couple months until the next one.
-Had to splash the cash on Oxlade-Chamberlain as I really needed a top class Inside Forward on AMR, and he is also very versatile. Financed the purchase by selling Wellington Nem for £32.5m, so I basically just paid £7.5m for an 'upgrade' on the AMR.
-Sold Benzia for £25m to Arsenal (got him on a free transfer the previous season).
-Also got a few players on free transfer who I sent on loan.
-Signed Djordevic (regen) as I needed cover on DC and he has world class potential.
-Herrera (also regen) signed from Barca for a stiff price of £20m, but he is great cover for Neymar and will definitely exceed that value in a couple of years.

Next window will in all likelihood be a very quiet one. I'm planning on selling Lucas Leiva as he's rounded 30 years, but he's very central to the way I play, and the only one I've found capable of replacing him is Phil Jones. But Manchester United doesn't want to sell. If I get a good price for Lucas and am able to negotiate a decent price for Jones -- meaning I don't have to spend more than £20m after subtracting the money from the Lucas sale -- I'll make the deal. If not, I might consider keeping Lucas for another year although that will surely see him decline in value and make him harder to sell.
The only players remaining from the original Liverpool setup: Joe Allen, Lucas Leiva and Raheem Sterling.
