A few months ago we told you that Liverpool does not have the money to spend on significant transfers this summer. But guess what… it’s the Fall/Autumn now and the coffers have been unleashed! Thursday was Thiago, Jota on Friday and who’s to say the spending is done? Was this money well spent? Why could we not spend it on Timo Werner earlier? And is there any concern about paying the piper next season?
This is LFC Core! Where each week we analyse Liverpool FC across three dimensions:
- Looking Forward, Looking Back
- Facts and Figures
- Critique and Commentary
Running Order:
- 00:01 – 00:26 It’s one thing to buy the likes of Thiago and Jota, but what does that mean for the rest of the current LFC squad members on the fringes? Do we really need 9 midfielders and 10 forwards? In a pandemic stricken season of unknowns some may argue: yes…
- 00:26 – 00:56 “Follow the money” goes the famous catchphrase. But in this case should we as fans just turn a blind eye and enjoy the moment? We may not like the truth that we find.
- 00:56 – 01:06 There’s no such thing as a free lunch, or a free transfer for that matter. Why do clubs choose to allow certain players to rundown their contracts, and is there a method to this seeming madness?
