When you look at their transfer activity you can see why. 19 million for Solanke and his one assist over 1200 league minutes. 15 million for Jordan Ibe. Then you have David Brooks out for the season. They are in real trouble. Agreed, I think they and Norwich are going down then a few of us are scrapping to avoid the last spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PieFacE Posted January 12, 2020 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2020 Our losses to Southampton and Watford are suddenly not looking as bad as first thought. Our timing for playing them was incredibly unlucky. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No two ways about it - Klopp has been bankrolled - it gets less press coverage but Liverpool s expenditure is pretty close to that of Man City over the past 3 or 4 seasons. - Sure they have been well coached (how hard can it be) Without that massive expenditure on players - Liverpool would be also rans. Liverpool spent heavy but you can still find bargain purchases any club could have made. Robertson was 8 million from Hull. Matip on a free and Gomez cost only a 3rd of what we paid for Konsa. City on the other hand is just huge purchase after huge purchase. The only smart buy is maybe maybe Zinchenko who they got for roughly 2 million from shakhtar Donestek. It's almost comical looking at their expenditures. Also, if KDB went for 80 million 2 years ago then Jack is easily 100 mil plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted January 12, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 12, 2020 Can see Howe getting sacked after today's game. They're really shit. Players look like they've given up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s achieved so much for them. I know the business is ruthless, but I think he’s earned the right or try to turn it around. They also have lots of injuries. Obviously in our current position I hope he doesn’t turn it round! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or start preparing for your championship promotion campaign. Watford's second goal was 8 Bournemouth players watching Deeney stroll up and crush a loose ball just bouncing in their own box. If that isn't the effort of a team who's given up then I don't know what is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Liverpool have spent big, but they have a) bought well, and b) Klopp has got every last bit of ability out of them, personally i dislike Liverpool historically, but i have a lot of respect for what Klopp has achieved at Liverpool, they are an amazing side. Add this to the comparison of what the other teams have spent, shows just how much money Man Utd & Chelsea have wasted or failed to get a tune from. yes Liverpool "spent money", but the above alone proves they certainly didnt "buy success", they bought AND klopp used the money well, and got the team playing like champions, i reckon Klopp is the best manager in the world at the moment for me.

Bournemouth must be the richest club in the league. Got promoted just as the TV money went nuts and have spent sod all really.
