You’re making a totally different point to what I am. All of the net spend stuff is a different conversation altogether.
It’s an absolute fact that after signing Nunez it’ll take his spending to well over £600m which is a big sum of money to have spent assembling a squad.
Klopp, inherits Coutinho makes him look world class, rips off Barca for 150m and he goes there and flops, flips that money for two world class players in the spine of his team. Top business and u can see why they churn out 90 point seasons consistently.
Assteta inherits a 20 plus league goal scorer, makes him look shit, has to pay him to cancel his contract, goes to Barca and starts scoring goals again like nothing ever happened. Levels to this Arsenal is what it is at this point.
My point is perfectly apt then thanks, cuz Auba was important to our team long before Assteta ever came along. Was a golden boot winner a year before under a different manager.
Yep he has spent money to sign players I won’t debate that.
No coach in world football would be capable of regularly getting 90 + points in the EPL and regularly making CL finals without spending pretty reasonable coin on signings.
I’ve said he spends money on players, you need money or a certain degree of to sign quality players.
It’s just he and Liverpool generate and do it in a way that every wealthy enough non oil club should.
Liverpool generally sell high and generally nail signings, with the exception of Keita every big money signing that Klopp has made has been worth it and some.
BTW @SRCJJ the way Arteta is going after 6.5 years at Arsenal he’ll have a similar outlay on players to what Klopp to this point. Hopefully Mikel has us get 90 + points consistently and making CL finals every other year and you won’t hear a complaint out of me .
Will certainly be interesting as this looks like it changes their dynamic. For the last four to five years, they have had interchangeable, versatile set of forwards, using their width/interior widemen as the focal points.
Darwin has a history of playing wide but I just don’t see him played out there for Liverpool. Surely he goes straight in the centre up front?
