Of course not, the transfer window came as a complete surprise to our management so weren't ahead of the game and they didn't realise we would have sold VVD to get £60m in the pot.
All a bit of a surprise so playing catch up, hopefully we might get someone nobody will have heard of by the end of the month
Or am I being a little cynical?
Soooooooooooo.....the club is in the wrong if the board are tight fisted and don't sign anyone and....are in the wrong....if they agree to pay serious money for someone.
I have come to the conclusion that if our so called "supporters" were to put as much effort in to backing the Club as they do in running it down we would have a World class fan base?

I got what you meant, but my point was that there is no point having that option if it is not good enough.
Always thought that too and couldn't agree more.
Even his goal against Norwich bounced off him after he hit the keeper.
No; you are being factual. You forgot to mention that we sell quick and are not so quick to buy.
Compare to Everton; offloaded Barkley and used the fee to fund a striker they feel fits their needs all within the first week. Smacks of forward planning to me...
Leave it alone.......Les Reed is doing all the negotiations so it’s bound to work out ok
Well that is all well and good but all football transfers are done like this. If we buy a player for 30m we don’t pay 30m up front either, so we can spread payments out to coincide with money we receive for VVD
Ours cannot be too bad these days: well... in theory... but Everton seem to have planned ahead of the window. Hopefully we have other than offloading VVD for an enormous profit.You must be forgetting Everton’s bottomless war chest!!!
Most football transfers are done like this, but Liverpool are known to pay most of the fees upfront to get deals done. But Jeremy Wilson, Simon Peach and Adam Blackmore have all said differently when it comes to the structure of the fee. Would be more inclined to believe them.
Exactly. That doesn't include the tens of millions we owed and were owed, either; it's the natural state of affairs.
Hopefully, this is just us trying to ensure that prices aren't obscene, because spending a mere 20m in this window would be comically risky.
Would make sense for them if they're losing Coutinho mind you.
Well if we don't act reasonably quickly we might as well regard those instalments as parachute payments
