Beat me to it. I hope they sell. It's obvious at this point they're not going to give the bulk sum needed for this club to compete for a full season.I feel like it's shit or get off the pot time for FSG. You bring in Klopp, you better be willing to spend to contend.
70% possession, some dangerous build-up, but nothing so far.COYS! Must win to keep any pressure on Chelsea. The rest of the league is capitulating.
Liverpool has the 5th highest wage bill (and closer to 4th than 6th), but the issue is they're not spending enough?Beat me to it. I hope they sell. It's obvious at this point they're not going to give the bulk sum needed for this club to compete for a full season.
I am feeling mikefordian thoughts about this team right now
Here's the wage bill. The issue is that Klopp hasn't fully rebuilt the squad yet to fit his system. He's been very deliberate in his transfer dealings, seemingly not overspending on targets (Zielinski, Dahoud), moving out high priced misfits (Balotelli, Sakho), bargain hunting (Klavan, Matip), and opening the purse selectively (Mane, Wijnaldum). In other words, it's been a slow remake that has left the team without a lot of useful depth as well as a few short-term bandaids. The hope is that a Champions League spot will speed the process along by increasing the wage & transfer budgets and making Liverpool a more attractive destination for world class talents. As for finding a taker for Sturridge....Beat me to it. I hope they sell. It's obvious at this point they're not going to give the bulk sum needed for this club to compete for a full season.
