Liverpool are not a team in transition. They won the title & dropped £446.5 million on Isak, Wirtz, Ekitike, Kerkez, Frimpong & Leoni, the biggest spend of any club in history & broke the English transfer record.. twice.
No club gets protected in the media like Liverpool do.
£130 million on Isak
£115 million on Wirtz
£79 million on Ekitike
£40 million on Kerkez
£29.5 million on Frimpong
£26 million on Leoni
£419.5 million spent
How do they compete?
@Jake_armstrong9 Great read, feel like there is a player there but also room for improvements. Probably won’t see the best of him until next season. I do wonder if he’ll be a better player alongside burn rather than Botman, but I guess time will tell.
This is a joke. Shouldn’t even be allowed. A journo getting a platform at a game that has nothing to do with Newcastle United just to spout more about a Newcastle player. The same journo who’s spent the entire summer parroting spoon-fed propaganda. Absolutely shameless @David_Ornstein
@nordicgeordie It’s just him preparing for a new lowball bid from Liverpool. They will try at 120 and because Isak is acting like he is, Liverpool will push the narrative that he won’t play for Newcastle again anyway. It’s all games, but he should be fined now.
@DougieCritchley@TMuk_news Before PSR, those clubs spent much more money than everyone else and had higher revenue streams as a result. Once PSR was implemented, they already had a huge head start and had the success and attraction due to the vast amount of money they had already spent to achieve it.
Liverpool were a mediocre second division football club with no FA Cups to their name when Peter Moores acquired them and blew all other clubs spending out the window - paying the modern equivalent of £60m & 70m on players whilst in D2 they started to rise and build a global rep
Splurged £86m on Darwin Nunez three years ago, which failed miserably, and they're now spending a similar amount on another new striker.
But remember, Liverpool can't compete financially!
