So again yes we spend but its not like we are at the top of everything like you and your brothers where we get what we want just by showing interest so please don't put there and talk.

And the day your club decided to show more ambition and actually win titles, is the day you'll sign Coutinho's and Suarez's more regularly by just showing interest.

I was talking about Karius...

That would be possible if we were ever good enough, which is why we spend big on players with potential who give a shit to play for a smaller club. Rather than signing Vidal's for 50m just because you don't trust your DMs.

I agree with most of the things you have said but it is still painful to keep selling players year after year. This mini success in this season won't blind me from the fact that our rebuilding seems to be going from many years now. We have still done incredibly well in terms of shaping the squad. And I have high hopes in next 2-3 years for this club.

But on the other side, I can guarantee you that we will not spend 100m on a striker in nearby future

And here comes Nish !

And I understand that, but that's my point, now you guys feel competitive and have signed some good players, if you can win the league or go till the final day, make another deep run in the CL, win a cup or something you'll keep on to your players, while bring in more WC players.

We do spend sure, but look at those guys, 80m for a guy from Southampton, 50 from Leipzig and still after spending that much it takes Klopp 6 months to start them continuously. So please, I wish I my team is able to buy Coutinho's and Suarez's week in week out  just because we get our ass kicked in one derby.

That's more on Klopp rather then your inability to spend. I remember him saying they wouldn't have bought a GK if Allison wasn't on the market, so you would've been stuck with Karius, surely he could get the scout to scout more, as I'm sure there are many GK who are better out there.

Again you can blame Klopp, but remember its the first time in 3 years that we've been comfortably above a netspend that's close to 0. We don't throw money just because we are desperate to compete because we are unlike you. So put us down a notch.

That's exactly why you haven't won a league title for 20+ years. If net spends makes you happy being around 0 then sure you can add that to trophy cabinet

Vidal was 18m....

We are doing good. Let us atleast establish ourselves when we spend before being judged.

Man...

All this talk about net spend takes me back to 10 years ago when I first found goal.com forums ... freshly graduated from high school. LOL

Seriously though, who cares who spends what. You have to spend to sustainably compete and anyone arguing against that is a utopian idealist and not a realist.

Can't wait for us to finally dip into the Coutinho money this January

Spending big and on established players is key to becoming successful. You don't need to look any further than Madrid to see this theory in action. We used to spend big and on the best players in the world and the result were outstanding. Sure, it took us 4 to 5 years to see the plan becoming successful, but the wait and investments were so worth it.

Look at us now after we betrayed the very plan that brought us so much success and started to sell our best players without replacing them and lowered our standards by only going after cheap, unproven players. We're getting our asses handed to us almost every week.

It's about damn time that Liverpool has decided to go after WC talent, and I have nothing but respect for them. And to those who brag about net spend, I say more power to you. I'm sure those dormant millions taste as sweet as a major trophy.

I am all about the base/netspend so you can't blame me
