Tbf he was so good in the English League that he caught the attention of the German League and has only got better. He's got a very high ceiling and I completely understand the hype. I would love him to come to us. €160m says otherwise. If we're talking about statements, this would be a statement signing. One player can't solve all our problems but with the addition of a few minor signings, I'd be willing to try.
I'm expecting a busy window but, like you, I don't think there will be multiple big money (£50m+) deals
A contract extension for Milner will be like a new signing! (It works for James Pearce - maybe FSG will bung me a few bob now as well).
I always look forward to the summer. Warmer weather, getting away for a bit, forget footie for a while.
Pointless fretting over something that you can't influence.
Too hot in summer. Spring and Autumn is where it's at. Not too hot to be outdoors, swimming pool isn't too hot so still a nice way to cool off... Grass is still green and not brown.
Year round spring would be better.
Is £50mill still big money in 2023 for a top flight team?
Missing out on Europe is probably what's removed Jude from our sights. £30-£40mill revenue drop.. but before European football became a pipe dream the club was saying they were prepared to back Klopps financially this summer.
I don't think you can base how much we will be spending on previous seasons. We haven't spent because Liverpool didn't seem to take the aging of our midfield seriously... There a more obvious need now. There's a long history going back decades of chasing teams spending more than leading teams.
If I had to guess we were probably planning on £150mill before. (That's based on all the comments of spending this summer). Jude's at the time was being said as over £100 mill and we would need other players too.
I'm expecting a total of about £120mill expenditure. Maybe 3 or 4 players in (5 or 6 out)... So we're looking at an average of about £30m to £40mil per player... So nobody super famous or in ridiculous demand. That isn't superstar money, that's "potential gem" money.
The names that we are being linked to are much more than £30-40m and I don’t see many freebies to bring the average down. Our debt is low, we have bandwidth to borrow and spend more and still be well within ffp, so I would agree that our net spend will be between £100-200m but I also think that we will lose one or two who we would rather keep to fund the remodel. I expect a big, big summer for us.
why would our net spend be more than previously? fsg don't do debt
Ermmm, we did it once and then took 2 seasons of no spend after.

It wouldn’t be debt. It would be spending the revenue
why bother now turning round and saying jude bellingham isn't that good anyway.
he's proven in cl and for England.
just suck it up folks. we can't afford a really good player. make peace with it.
it's easier when you accept the financial position cos there's always hope someone else turned into a really good player while at our club

If we don't invest this summer, next year will be even more difficult. Every company at some point realises its a choice between investing and cutting your loses and moving on.
We are losing a fair number of players in a few months, they will need to be replaced come what may.
They will either stump up or sell the club.
The alternative is watch a billion pound assest fall in value over and over again. Good businessmen don't do that.
and yet that's exactly what they did after cl success and what they have allowed happen to the squad
they will be convinced a couple of midfielders for 50mil net (sale of kelleher etc) and all will be well.
my view is still mount and nunes with possibility of getting gravenberch cheaper in a pivot
the midfield will be
fabinho Henderson thiago mount gravenberch Elliott Jones morton bajcetic milner.
ignore the fact the first 3 can't run any more.
we might get a taker for matip but I doubt it so back line will remain unchanged.
forwards are already done
I hear we are going to renew Adrian for another season cos we are that cheap we won't replace Kelleher with even a cheap option.

It's not what they did after the champions league.
We'd just won the Big pot, we where in good nick, high value and looking good.
Infact the opposite of how we look now.
Football people know this is the time to invest, to strengthen, keep pushing forward.
Fsg are not footballing people though, they are business men looking to maximise there profit.
If we where worth 5 billion, we arnt anymore, if they don't invest this summer it will be even less this time next season. They'd be incredibly shortsighted to allow their biggest asset to hemorrhage value, for the sake of 2/3 hundred million.
