Yeah, Nunez, Kieta, Carvalho, Melo, Shaqiri are all blinding business.
Although the jury is still out on Nunez.

Although the jury is still out on Nunez.
Spot on.
Been just saying to my liverpool mate, will be interesting to see how much impact he has when hes not on every set piece like he was at Brighton.
Nunez, Keita, Oxlade, Melo, Karius, Nathan Phillips, Kabak, Minamino, Markovic, Clyne. None of them set the world alight, and a few of them weren't cheap.
United have wasted a ridiculous amount of money, especially when that chode Woodward was pulling the strings, but let's not pretend that Liverpool haven't signed their own share of duds under Klopp too. Although, admittedly, they spend less money doing it.
Jinx surely?
Not Klopp signings. And Clyne was a good payer ruined by injury.
Karius, Phillips, Minamino were dead cheap. Arthur and Kabak were loans.
In context i still hold Karius to be Klopp's worst signing even though he cost very little. he was playing and really lowering the level of the team.
But in terms of monetary waste, that's not a compelling list for your argument.
We often give Fred a lot of crap around here, but Keita cost just as much and was a complete write off. He alone is enough for any 'argument'. Then you had the wonderful summer last year.
Downgrade on what? Sometimes managers make players a lot better… we’ve seen over the years that signing ready made superstars isn’t always good. Look at people like di Maria, cavani. Sometimes the cheaper players are the best ones to sign. Less pressure.
Add-ons that are easily achievable, otherwise brighton wouldnt have sanctioned the deal.
My argument was that not every signing Liverpool make works out. It's compelling enough for that.
I conceded that they hadn't wasted money to the extent Utd's hierarchy have. Keita was signed for a lot of money at the time and didn't live up to his reputation. Nunez was very expensive, but there's still time he'll work out.
Did he say he rejected us as we play in the CL and he’s not mentally ready? He thinks playing in the Europa league with a big team will help his development. If that isn’t small time mentality then I don’t know what is 
what player chooses europa over CL. They should be challenging themselves.

They should be challenging themselves.Have a guess If you think world cup winner Mac Allister really said that.Did he say he rejected us as we play in the CL and he’s not mentally ready? He thinks playing in the Europa league with a big team will help his development. If that isn’t small time mentality then I don’t know what is
And we all hope that he performs like VDB does for us.
They have a better transfer team.
That's borderline impossible imo. Anyway hope he fails massively there.
I'm afraid the club has a reputation for overpaying and other teams jack up the price when Man Utd come calling !
Yup - a bit like when your lot pulled out pants down over the Maguire fee.
Petty. Just admit that we suck at transfers.

Red or brown?

Just joking bro. I seen it on Twitter earlier maybe it was just someone mocking.
Everytime Liverpool sign a player it will report that they rejected United to go to them
100%. Makes the scouse fans feel better and feel like there loved
It's very weird how obsessive the media are about this £35m tag. It's on everything that every outlet posts with zero mention of any add-ons. We have this exact same deal and you can be certain it'll be £55m everywhere and probably media inflation on top of that too, United's new £60m star needs to prove he's worth such a huge sum!
Yes. True story.. You wanted Maguire so bad that you were prepared to pay over the top for him.
Everytime I see this guy I just think of Mata.
Shame that I have to hope that he flops and his club career fizzles away into nothingness now
Do people actually believe that twitter quite is real? How gullible are some people????
Oh ok. Thanks for the insight. I've gained a better understanding on this. I didn't know that talks are done in parallel.
Ah, he's such a nice guy. Trying to tell everyone he wants to play for a serious CL team.
Absolutely. Even the BBC are doing the same. Makes me think it's how Liverpool as a club release the transfer fee info.... alongside that all the player have turned down Utd also.
The comments on bbc are hilarious
Annoyingly good signing for the scousers.
Every Liverpool signing is cheap, was always a boy hood fan, and rejected United. Its been the narrative going on for years, I remember Kewell, Keane, etc, all saying it.
Very good signing for Liverpool, ideal player for their system.
True, I'm under the impression that they all get that interview in the Liverpool Echo(?) where they reveal their love and obsession for the club. Barcelona has the same trick.
