Klopp has spent just over £400m and that started when prices were lower, so £700m is not that unrealisticOr, you know, a modern day progressive manager. Not sure Liverpool needed £700m and the squad Klopp inherited wasn’t in any great shapes.
I’m sure he’s also pulled in plenty of money too. The point is, he had Liverpool transformed shortly after joining / spending much. Although results were inconsistent, there was a clear identity to their play and obvious signs of progression.Klopp has spent just over £400m and that started when prices were lower, so £700m is not that unrealistic
Yes I agree you could see he was transforming them but he still spent the moneyI’m sure he’s also pulled in plenty of money too.

Is it really that much in that period of time? I mean really? He has a clear vision / plan and laid out the players he needed to fit his system. He sold the ones he didn’t want / didn’t fit his system and I’m not arsed checking but I’m sure his net spend is pretty decent. How much have we spent in the same period and look at the state of us.Yes I agree you could see he was transforming them but he still spent the money
They still had to spend alot in order to compete and get anywhere near a real trophyI’m sure he’s also pulled in plenty of money too.

Do you not see any signs of progression with Ole? When people talk about progression, they always refer to style and attacking play however, do you not think we look better as a defensive unit? We leaked goals left, right and centre last season. This season (obviously we spent big on two players for our back four) we've looked a lot more secure at the back and have restricted teams to few chances. For example, Leicester hardly had any chances against us, Arsenal scored from our mistake, Wolves' only chance came from a worldie from Neves, Newcastle had two long range efforts from outside the box, etc.I’m sure he’s also pulled in plenty of money too.

Paul Merson doesn't know his arse from his elbow.
This is the nob who said "you can't bite your nose off to spite your face"

Exactly.I just think he's that bad at maths.
They are thereabouts but if we are going to make any sort of recovery it's not going to be by buying Kane/Sancho/Koulibaly/Maddison kind of players. That's just too much money and we don't have City/Qatar money. We will have to find a Robertson for 10m or develop our own TAA, so on and so forth. There will have to be punts on youngsters like Depay or James etc.The way the market is inflating month by month it's starting to look like 60-80 mil is the new baseline. Wan-Bissaka after one full season was fifty and Maguire after two seasons was eighty. If United need 6-8 players to be competitive in Champions league then 500 to 700 mil is not out of the question especially if players like Kane or Sancho are being put in the 200 mil category. I think Merson may be on the high side but he's in the ball park.
