The only light on the news Sturridge is injured until then, is that surely Liverpool have to go out and buy a well known striker, surely!

FSG have done well, but its just unfortunate that England is so superior to most leagues in terms of financial depth

They havent done that well, your transfer policy is horrible, and more importantly they don't see that.

I agree with you completely. I meant done well in terms of financial stability...

On paper FSG have done exactly what they wanted to. Cut the wage bill, improve the revenue and increase the overall club value. But they have done terribly when it comes to making the club a success on the pitch

Agreed, as i've siad before they need to stop trying to cheat the system in the transfer market.

There's an old saying: "A camel is a horse designed by committee" that's exactly what your transfers look like.

This is why I continue to support Rodgers and his transfer dealings. Yes, the majority have been terrible, but any manager would struggle to attract the top players in the current set-up
 
Idk why it's all doom and gloom anyway, I mean in reality this season everyone knew that you were most likely going to finish 4th-5th. Obviously missing out on CL is a big deal but it's not entirely over yet, 3 games left and 4 points behind there is pressure still on United to finish the job.

But also about the Depay transfer, it was only ever going to go one way if LVG wanted him regardless of what other clubs were interested, so really Liverpool can't be blamed at all for this.

I'd say judge your transfer window at the end, your previous transfer dealings isn't the best but there is still hope you can pull off some good signings this summer to build from.

Over-expectation and living off past memories is the reason for many doubting just about everything possible

Depay was only an option as long as LVG and United didn't come in, we all knew that

Just looking at the signings you've made under Rodgers and honestly it isn't all that bad. The Balotelli one was a stupid gamble though, I mean other far more successful managers have tried and failed with him, even ones who have a personal connection with him like Mancini.

It's not that on paper they are bad, they just dont fit, they all are geared to very different playing systems. Rodgers needs to decide how he wants to play now, and fast, before you sign any more mish mashes of players.

Rodgers definitely needs a clearer vision to effectively use the players at his disposal I'd agree.
 
More I think about it the more I think Klopp would be a great fit with Liverpool, Rodgers hasn't done a lot wrong but Klopp would benefit you in various areas.

Rodgers says Liverpool's "other priorities" in other areas meant their interest in Memphis Depay went no further.

Quite a few media outlets reported it last week... Sturridge surgery and our lack of funds apparently made us focus on a striker rather than a wide player

Also it shows ManUtd don't reply on selling players. They signed players for long term rather than to sell for profit.

Not really sure I understand. United don't have any FFP concerns whatsoever due to massive commercial revenue and thus can buy as many players as they want without being forced to sell like Chelsea
