I would actually consider Spurs to be quite good in the transfer market, maybe that's just because i'm used to seeing rubbish brought in for inflated prices at Liverpool tho :-k

Spurs have done what Liverpool were trying to do 5 years ago - bring in talented players on the cheap. Only they've done it more effectively. And when they've spent big (like on Modric) they've got it right.

Yea our transfers have been all over the place tho, i think we have been found guilty of not really having a transfer policy in the past. At times it looked as tho we had no money to spend as we would pick players up on free's only to than blow 20 million on a single player.

It would if we signed the right players

The club failed to build a consistent transfer policy and work towards a long-term goal. Going from spending 40m on two players in one window to 'bargain hunting' and spending 40m on 8 players the next is never going to work.

Suso and Bellers haven't been chosen for the EL squad, even though the likes of Lussey and Sokolik are there, and even Suarez...

I wouldn't mind Suso going out on loan, especially if it was part of the deal bringing Mirallas in.

But if we sold him I'd be upset.

From what I see, Cole is going to be a main figure for you guys. Not a good one but he will be a regular out on the right.

What makes you say that?

History with Rodgers, a very technical player, brought back from Europe and is a far different type of player to what failed miserably last season.

A few players like Cole were great last season at Swansea, I would guess Rodgers will want more of the same.

Yep especially when the players being bought for the large sums didn't really warrant the price tags ie Aquilani, Johnson and Keane. Reverse those deals and spend 60 million on a couple of wingers and we would have had an amazing team..

Johnson's transfer was a different case. Portsmouth were in financial difficulty at the time and so we agreed to write off the transfer money the still owed us for Crouch in order to get SOMETHING out of them before administrators moved in. It was probably one of the few wise transfer decisions we've made in the last decade.

Cole is all well and good, but we need a genuine winger for the right. I think letting Maxi go was a mistake. And if Carroll leaves I think our squad will be weaker than when the summer started.

Aqua is pretty much gone dude. Almost no chance of him being there next season, may as well accept it now

Can't wait until September 1st comes so we can just get on with it..

Rodgers told Liverpoolfc.com: "There's a lot of great work going on, obviously with the board and Ian Ayre in particular doing a lot of work behind the scenes. I've got regular contact going with our American owners and, in particular, Mike Gordon from Fenway Sports Group.

"Obviously when it's a club like Liverpool prices are always increased and so on, but I always felt it was important by the beginning of the season we could have the squad we want - and certainly by the end of the transfer window I would hope that will be the case.

"There is lots of speculation. I've seen hundreds of names linked with Liverpool and there's very few of them that were even close to coming here or we have even looked at.

"Unfortunately for the supporters they've got to read it and put up with it. But the message is there is a lot of work going on, on a number of deals and hopefully we can get those completed by the end of August."

When sleel 'watches' games, does he do it with his eyes open? Surely must have some kind of visual impairment.

Aquilani's a quality player, but he's been crucified in England because of his large transfer fee, injury problems and the fact that he's struggled to keep up with the pace of the game in England (and far from the first talented player to have that problem).
