LIVERPOOL OWNERS MAKING SAME MISTAKES

ARE LIVERPOOLS NEW OWNERS MAKING THE SAME MISTAKES AS THE LAST ONES? OVER SPENDING ON AVERAGE PLAYERS?

WHEN HICKS AND GILLETE WERE AT THE CLUB WE OVER SPENT ON AQUILANI, BABEL , DOSSENA, KEANE, JOHNSON, REIRA, SISSOKO, BELLAMY, MORIENTES, ARBELOA, DEGAN, MASCHERANO AS A FEW EXAMPLES.

SO FAR THE NEW OWNERS HAVE SPLASHED ON SUAREZ, NO THAT WAS GOOD BUSINESS, BUT

35 MILLION ON CARROLL ? WELL OVERPRICED
20 MILLION ON HENDERSON? WELL OVERPRICED

ARE WE WAITING FOR THE SAME MISERY AS THE LAST OWNERS, OVER PAYING FOR POOR PLAYERS?

Are you really that stupid? Its very simple to anyone with more than a single brain cell what we're doing. Transfers are all about judgement. So if Dalglish thinks Henderson is going to be a top player then he buys him now and while he is still developing he is integrated into the style of playing and the 'ways' of the club. Does it really matter if we pay 20m now or in 3 years time (when his price could be a lot higher). Dalglish is renowned for his ability to 'spot' a player. Of course he won't get them all right, but Fergie's record isn't exactly blemish free is it? Hope it wasn't too complicated for you.

His price in 3 years will be around 2-3m when he leaves out the back door to Bolton or Sunderland.

terentius1 (U1863) yes but you forgot the small matter of what if he flops like the tens of thousands of liverpool youth of before? liverpool has the worst youth to first team rate in the established top flight.

Of course it could work out for Daglish and there is a reasonable chance of that happening but the fact is he hasn't done anything to warrant a £20m price tag yet and Liverpool have been held to ransom.

Forget it anyway, if were paying 16m for Jones then we've done pretty much the same thing.

While Carrol & Henderson have great potential, which may (or may not) be fulfilled, in both instances LFC have probably paid £10m more than their market value.

Seems like £20m wasted.

keep this us and your team could cost more than City's...Johnson £18m, Henderson £20m, Jones £16m, Suarez £23m, Carroll £35m, Aquilani £20m

MU_FC. I agree with you but isn't it the same for any club? Its impossible to guarantee every buy will be a success. You win some, you lose some. Dalglish has a higher success rate than most. Ex pat - I assume you're about 10? An extremely dull 10 year old at that.

dalglish has always been a chequebook manager

it pains me to say, but Liverpool's owners are spot on, they are running that club like a club should be run, they splash the cash, have faith in the manager, and respect the fans, and there is us Evertonians with clowns in the board room, we are going to be left behind, i wish we were half as good as Liverpool, im not looking forward to next season, we will be trying to get 40 points and Liverpool will be probably sitting pretty at the top of the League.
