Why do some people come on here.

.. and keep stating that getting certain players is beyond us.

The likes of Hazzard (we won't get him 'cos he'll cost £40m).

Huntelaar would cost £30m

etc, etc.

blah blah blah.

We've forked out £117m since last January (give or take a milion or 3).

So spending £40m on one player if he's what we need then we'll spend it.

So stop saying "He'll cost too much".

true to an extent blood red, but same could be said for the players that City managed to sign before getting top 4.

I think with City and Chelsea it was different. With the amount of cash they had, the players who went there knew it was only a matter of time before they were up there challenging. Plus there was of course the money factor. I dont know how willing Liverpool are to pay £200,000 a week to every new signing.

Liverpool may have a bit of cash, but at the moment its still hard to see you catching either of the Manchester clubs anytime soon.

I'm not on the wind up here - i'm just calling it how I honestly see it.

don't think they would pay 200k a week even if it was for Messi, we had a problem with the wage bill before and got rid of a lot.

Sounds like we are going down the "ones for the future" rout,e ie Hazard etc, whether we get them will be a dif story, hope so.

----------------------

You did spend £35m on Carroll, £23m on Suarez, and £20m on Downing. So the club is clearly prepared to spend. But then Liverpool fans are quick to point out that their net spend is quite low, so maybe there isn't as much money available after all?

And there does remain a question mark over wages. A few articles on here in recent months have pointed to City spending £38m on Aguero in comparison to the £35m Liverpool spent on Carroll, and the counter-argument to that by a few Liverpool fans was to (correctly) point out the total value of the transfer in wages and fees that Aguero would have cost.

How much would, say, Hazard command in a transfer fee and wages?

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

We also more likely than not doubles their wages.

Carroll, Suarez & Downing are on a hell of a lot more now than before.

Therefore if need be, we'll spend £40m on Hazzard and double his wages.

You see no problem.

"Since when have City,Arsenal or Chelsea been classed as Europe's elite?"

Of course they are. Maybe they are not as steeped in history as Liverpool, but right now they are amongst the best clubs in Europe (Arsenal to a lesser extent). You are not.
-------------------

Oh that's right a top player would clearly want to go to a team like Arsenal or Chelsea who may have been in the Champions but don't know how to actually win it, rather than a team a team like Liverpool who when they are in it actually show some European steel, and have won it.

It's laughable to suggest Chelsea or Arsenal are a better pedigree in European football than Liverpool lol. They may have qualified for the last 16, but they don't have a hope in actually winning it.

They are just also-rans, and I'm sure loads of top players would jump at the chance of joining these 'also-ran' clubs in European football who are both on the down, rather than a club like Liverpool who have ambitious owners to get them back to the place they know so well.

Oh get over yourself. You have won the trophy, what, once in the last quarter of a century? How many players (or even staff) from your last triumph are still at the club? 2?

The fact that you have won 5 European cups has absolutely no bearing on whether or not you will win it again. At present, Chelsea, Arsenal and City have a greater chance of winning it. Only deluded Liverpool fans would say otherwise.
