we won 4 european cups with an english core,non of these exotic players manyoo and the londons clubs go for.

it can be done

Are you happy with the amount of money being spent on them though? I find it ludicrous.

90% of what you say is correct, but football has moved on since kenny's time at blackburn where basically bought the title, there are more richer clubs around who are attracting the better players and the british players alone won't win you anything.

16mil on Henderson is reasonable
8.5mil on Adam is very good

35mil on Carroll is crazy, however we only had 5 hours to find a replacement striker for Mr.Torres, have we had more time ... and the price wouldn't have been so far fetched.

to be honest i think other fans must be jealous or worried because Chelsea city and the mancs are far worse than us.

At what exactly

I'm just wondering if you like your club spending that much on players just because they're English. I'd ask the Mancs the same thing but I just came across this article

I think that British Players will always have certain amount of loyalty to British clubs. Especially to Liverpool, remember a lot of the players watched Liverpool dominating English football back in the day.. so to play for them is quite something.

I'm happy with the amount being spent and who its being spent on.

Man City spent big and got a team of Mercenaries.

I didn't say you did...

I meant that they cost that much just because they're English.

wow are talking about the collosal :

5mill spent on shearer?
and 3.5mill on sutton?

33mill on ferdinand, a defender! totally decimates any signing dalglish has made

Batty
flowers
ripley
sherwood
le saux
newell
gallacher
hendry
all freebies then i take it

lol why do people assume silly little things?

take a step back and look at the situations

jones and henderson, yes they are english so what?

also consider they both recently signed a 5 year contract with their clubs yes FIVE YEARS ! like their clubs going to let them go on the cheap with this amount of time they have them tied down for?

i mean what if they did and they got better? tripled in value?

you dont pay it just because they are british, what a stupid thing to say.

competition also pushes the price up, i,e jones and henderson lots of clubs in for them.

carroll 35m LAST DAY of TRANSFER WINDOW need a replacement he didnt want to leave newcastle and spurs aalready had a 25 MILLION bid for him turned down.

35 million WAS REQUIRED not just because they are british, get some sense lad.

What current Liverpool players can remember when they dominated English football? You haven't dominated for 25 years. None of your current crop can remember that.

Why does everyone always say Rovers bought the title? Man U spent a similar amount to us in the years leading up to it and Andy Cole cost them almost as much as Shearer and Sutton combined. We no more bought the title than any club who's won it in the last 20 years.

Well said Rover ^^^^

henderson 20 mill

all titles are bought. money is the biggest factor for success.

totally agree..Fergie has bought all his titles

What's clear is that if we want Suarez and Alan to stay the King Kenny must mould a winning side. Only then will the top foreign stars want to stay.

I disagree to an extent. I think all players would move if the bigger better deal came along if Liverpool were to remain in the doldrums or fall further down the pecking order. If we were all conquering like Barca are Suarez etc would sign up for life. The only difference is British based players will probably stay a bit longer and give the team more chance to turn it around
