- Whilst their Champions League and title rivals Manchester City, Chelsea, and Manchester United spend big, Liverpool are yet to flex their financial muscles this summer.
A failed bid for Timo Werner has been followed by an inconclusive attempt to sign Thiago Alcantara, with Liverpool's finances reportedly causing them problem.
In this video, HITC Sevens takes a look at Liverpool's most recent accounts, their transfer spending, and why Jurgen Klopp and his Premier League title winning team haven't invested heavily just yet. - Sport
One suggestion, if your video requires a lot a number or money related comparison, use graph.
It would be very help to understand.
Facts.
You just put the numbers. My first language is not English and it’s hard to follow up numbers when they are just being said..
And just go into it. Most people watching are fans of the team so we want to know the details lol
Imran Hossain yeah the graph says it all Liverpool’s Owners FSG have only spent £120 Million in ten years it’s a joke.
@Riki Rikin kanayin statistic is still important to make the right decisions when it comes to spending.
Who’s watching this when Liverpool have just signed Thiago and Diogo Jota
me
Haha I was looking for this comment
well said.
Everyone that sees your comment
And me 😂
Who’s here after Liverpool just splashed the cash on thiago and jota
That'll be me 🤣
Eh? Me too......dead vid.....
Jota😂😂 hahaha even Galatasaray spend same money with Liverpool
@@efed.221 aww thats cute. Maybe spend it better, like lfc.
Hahaha!!! Indeed Sir. & Got two shitty defenders for pound shop prices just now. £2 mil for two defenders???? Big spenders! LMAO
LFC better sign Thiago, he’s a bargain for the price 🤦♂️
Imagine if we swoop him lmaoooooo
Yooo maybe he can play with me 👀
Thiago isn’t interested in united he only wants Liverpool that’s what many sources are saying
@@lucamancini6724 new news broke that unnited manager ole spoke to him but wages too high ... plus him and dave are bros and thiago has supported united as a kid
Donny Van De Beek WAGES TO HIGH? Sanchez is too high but you say it’s too HIGH?
Alfie talks about clubs delving deep in their pockets, while showing an out of contract free transfer to Newcastle.
As a Newcastle fan this will be typical for us this summer.
@alexis gough that was last year, and was twice as much as we ever paid for a player. He has not been involved pre-season so we may be trying to sell him
@alexis gough Nobody expects us to get £40m for him. We'd be lucky to get 15.
Bruce will not leave unless we get relegated
Nik Turk well we got 30% from toneys transfer so that another 26+ y/o washed up guy from either scotland, ireland, or england on free transfer
How about a injury hit Phil Jones for £5 Million?
Lmao
"Why Don't Liverpool Have Any Money?"
A new Main stand, a new training ground and shortly a new Anfield road stand. That's why they don't have any money.
But Leicester spent £100mil on a new training centre and stadium upgrades too, plus other transfers
@Amged Fraik
You do understand that borrowed money needs to be paid back?
@Amged Fraik
"FSG don’t want to spend not a single penny of theirs not even from time to time"
Apart from the £110 million loan interest free.
New main stand was 4 years ago mate. Anfield Road will be installments an pays for itself over time. Training ground was 50m. We didn't spend a penny last season, we have won the two big cups, brand new Nike deal an the excuse for no match day revenue is bullshit. Its only 15% of our income. We are mega rich so there's no excuse. Where is the money?????
No, it's not as simple as that
When you have so many numbers, it would be good to add graphs or illustrations, otherwise it would get increasingly hard to follow. Great content thou, thanks!
I agree
Couldn't agree more. It is especially hard for non native English speakers
Thought everybody hated the #s! But, true, I love the GM'ing & building of a champion! Can't believe I'm a fan of such a Champion, now!
Very good points. Having Klopp as our coach is a plus as he is a great developer of players and that’s what I see them doing through the academy and the not through high profile signings
I think Liverpool have been sensible and John Henry has shown that he knows what he is doing and is looking after the club.
Tbf they have been quite lucky with injuries... And if an attacker gets injured who will they go to ? Especially if it's for UCL. I don't think minamino or origi are good enough (yah origi did great in 2 ucl games but doesn't cut it for me) and what abt back up cb ? They have 3 main cb van dijk, Gomez and matip and didn't replace lovern...

@@shitepicaricacy1412 The Beatles album Magical Mystery Tour
Exactly.... he's not acting like a sugar daddy which is fine by me a lifelong LFC fan. And I'm sure Klopp understands this very well. Anyway, I don't need new signings to get excited for the current team. I'll criticize if we start to play like shit in the league and not getting results but for now I won't pretend I know better than the people running the team and club. At this moment I'm happy with the team & club. This could change but I hope it won't. not in the near future at least
Its nothing to do with not having money IMO. I watch MLB as well as football and Liverpools owners in MLB and so far in Premier League use "moneyball" strategy. You can see it with unfancied signings like Matip and Milner as well as the big signings they have made like VVD.
It would take a very long comment to explain what moneyball is but long story short Boston Red Sox have gone from failing to win a World Series in 100 years to winning 3 in 15 years.
So if you are Fenway sports you are thinking "Why change a proven succesful strategy"
WTF!!?
@wildebest Your a Barrack Room Lawyer. Talking absolute drivel.
Well said @kopxpert I feel the same way
we are playing bad right now
Definitely found it both entertaining and informative. Thanks for the hard work.
Fantastic video this mate. As a Liverpool fan myself I get extremely tired with fans both of Liverpool and other teams who think that real life is like FIFA career mode or football manager. The investment has already been put into the squad and were seeing that come true now through aloud youth players too. Granted a few new faces are always nice but people need to see the bigger picture. Great video 👍
thank you and i think you are one of the stockholders in FSG? Thanks, stockholder.

Day 9: the decline of Scottish football- why teams like Celtic and Aberdeen went from European trophies to struggling to qualify and why the national team has become so poor
The rest of the world learned how to play football.
@@cameraman1234567890a well i mean... I am a Rangers fan but Celtic won it against Inter Milan... One of the best and dominant teams ever.
Money and lack of youth academies good enough to produce world class talents. Lastly power and strength, which you lack genetically. You need to play a kind of tiki taka smart play to really succeed
It's quite simply, not many people outside of Scotland and Ireland were interested in the league from the 80's onwards.
So there was just no reason for multi million sponsorship deals to invest since it wasn't financially viable to get their money back from sales and merchandising. Therefore they had significantly less money for proper training facilities and experience to further advance the clubs and the league.
Money
Great video. It's almost as if Liverpool owner is running the business the way it is meant to be run.
RIGHT...!!!
@wildebest There is no evidence at all that Abramovich wants to sell up. We've had all this during the past 15 years that he would lose interest when certain goals were achieved. The 'sugardaddy' jibe often gets trotted out but the guy is not stupid. John Henry has injected £100m into Liverpool for the stadium expansion. Abramovich has put huge amounts for team strengthening although Chelsea have had to comply with FFP since 2011. Their business model is not that dissimilar in that that they are investing in a growing concern. If Abramovich sold up, he would recoup all that he put in plus a hefty profit on top. The same is true for FSG. Other owners have taken a different approach, borrowing heavily against the clubs assets and using profits for their own immediate benefit.
@wildebest There was a lot of press talk about Jim Ratcliffe making a formal bid but Roman allegedly wanted offers of above £2.1bn. The bottom line is, even if he did decide to sell, the club would simply change hands from one very wealthy owner to another. As said, the club has complied with FFP regulations since they were brought in and that is without stadium naming rights or the other 'clever accounting' going on at the Etihad. From the very outset of his takeover, it was always the intention that the club would be self-sustaining in time. Even these recent purchases have had to be balanced out in the accounts. The excellent Swiss Ramble site explains how it's been achieved.
twitter.com/SwissRamble/status/1300321535178289152 Personally, I think Abramovich got the hump with H.M. Government with the visa delay and Yes, he may have wanted at one point to cut all ties to the UK. Bruce Buck, the club chairman has said his commitment was as great as ever. The team has gone through more turbulent times in the past and he hasn't chucked the towel in. The new stadium plans are also a sign he may be around a while yet.
@wildebest Not sure how you come to the conclusion it is finished, if they are 3rd or 4th. There is a competent team and manager, and while they can't outspend some of them, smart recruitment has been a forté that got them into this position and while it is a self-sustainable club it is a financially healthy club with a revenue that is only £2 mil behind City. LFC have doubled their revenue in the past 6 years and is above £500 mil. Spurs owe more than a bil to the banks, Utd owe £500 mil, Chelsea owe £1.3 bil to Abramovich, and City's project has derailed and when Pep leaves, they will need to reset, because their setup is the blueprint of Barcelona, even prior to Pep joining, and they have failed a lot of investments in recent years. And when Klopp leaves, Pep Lijnders will likely take over.
@@chelseacharger If Abramovich sells the club, the club will be weighed down by the £1.3 bil the club owe him. And with the uncertainty of the future income for all, Chelsea will continue to be reliant on selling players to balance the books. Due to the pandemic clubs has been allowed two years to comply with FFP, and at large why Chelsea has gone out and spent big, while it is a risk, even if they sold big with Hazard and Morata. SwissRamble forgot Pulisic in his accounts, but yeah it is a great read.

@L M100 whatever the club was worth, is all the debt for the club. Basically they came they bought and then put all that money payable at the cost of club only. They only see a brand, not a football club. No fucking future. Can you seriously say, Sanchez was brought because they had a plan?
Our debt is literally bigger than our net worth. We're a paper tiger, one bad financial year away from completely collapsing, and you want us to be grateful for it? What the fuck is wrong with you?
As a non-Liverpool fan I think they’re being quite smart about Thiago, yes he’s a fantastic player. But he’s not obviously a Klopp player, he’d have to spend time learning a system where his creative role is usually played by the fullbacks and Firmino rather than a CM who has to be more commanding and aggressive like Henderson, no doubt he can do that Flick’s philosophy similarly stresses pace, pressing and possession he still isn’t somebody who’s gonna immediately fill a hole and improve a team. He’s also nearly 30 and would be on large wages and difficult to sell on later when he’s older. Signing him would be a statement to both the first team and the wider footballing world that they intend to stay at the top but I think the club being smart to say that he’s only valuable up to a certain amount
Klopp don't understand dat level off game yet either thiago will stay at bayern
Well said (I'm a liverpool fan)
Klopp is trying to spice it up, two season playing the same way has made them predictable
Akmal Rodzi what bullshit..lmao very few clubs could manage Liverpool for the last 3 seasons and your “experts” comment say Liverpool is predictable? Lmao..please stop making jokes..it’s to funny.lmao

loving man .. keep it up ,👍
I think liverpool need some good quality backup to their first team they need depth and qualtity in their bench if they want to compete in every compition
If we get the likes of Daka, Sarr and Thiago, I’d say that we will be ok for next season
Yes but the first teams exorbitant wages are the reason why we cant recruit . They are a closed group and want to keep it that way ofvourse they deserve every penny but it comes with huge expectations.
@@adzertwd193 We'll be very competitive for the league in any case. Still haven't seen City sign defenders to match what we've got. We can go 2-3 more seasons with no signings and still be competing at the very top. What we should be more worried about and looking ahead to is being able to have money available when we need to transition in 3 years time.
Daniel L. you maybe able to compete for the league but without making any signings winning the league will be harder for you every year especially with city and chelsea deciding that they going to spend a shitload of cash to close to the gap and and although i wouldn’t be surprised if liverpool win the league this year but next season without signings i don’t see liverpool beating an upgraded city to the title
@@Tridentus 0 signings for 3 years and think you will still compete with city you are DELUSIONAL lol, city sores way more goals than liverpool and has a FAR better squad depth all they need is to stop letting them in, they've signed 2 defenders so we'll see how there new defence line up does

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK MY GUY!👌🏾
We need to make signings more for depth and not to our starting 11. We’re linked with Daka, Sarr and Thiago and if we somehow get all three of them this window, we’ll be ok for backup. I would love to get Daka because he got 30 g/a in 31 games in the Austrian league and he’s only 21. Sarr would be amazing and him and Mane get on really well in the Senegal squad so he’d have someone to talk to if he did sign. And Thiago imo is one of the best midfielders in the world right now and to get him to replace Gini would be perfect. We already sorted out our LB spot by getting Tsimikas so all we need is a creative midfielder to replace Gini (Thiago) and 1 or 2 backup attackers (Daka and Sarr)
We can buy those excellent backup players while staying within our means.
Just need to offload Harry Wilson, Marko Grujic, Karius etc.
Josiah Clarke that’s a 75 million pound transfer. Not happening
If we get the signings you just mentioned I think it would be a successful transfer window
We can also get Kabak as a replacement for Lovren
sarr is already a chelsea player unless you mean the watford player and not the niece player
I love the increased sarcasm and humor. Keep the witty comments going, Alfie !!
It'd be funny if LFC were stalling to buy Messi.
Not funny!
Messi's great & all, but.......
He'd have to meet the Reds half way....... "Do you want another title,Sir?"
He's staying at Barcelona.
A Liverpool insider said even if he was available, there would be zero interest from Liverpool. We just don’t sign players like that
Very interesting video, make more of these with other clubs! Keep it up, great stuff
Thanks so much. Your analysis have been very helpful. It has calmed my nerves a bit

Nice video very I informative. How about a video on how covid 19 affects the money on clubs. And did the TV money get changed? Very interesting times, can we expect top clubs to fail without gate receipts in the future?
Your videos are really top tier stuff. Fantastic work!
i think signings are coming. I think we have to offload Grujic and Wilson before making any big signings. While Thiago would be a great signing I think a back up to Trent is more desperately needed. There isn't anyone who can cover in his position adequately (at least in terms of his attacking output; Gomez is obviously good defensively). Although maybe a more creative midfielder would help with the problem (although hopefully Keita can stay fit; when he gets a run of games he usually starts to tear it up and can provide a more incisive edge). We do also need a centre back to cover Matip and Gomez who have both suffered injuries. I know Fabinho can deputise there but I'd rather have him in midfield.
Perhaps Minamino has finally properly arrived after bagging his first goal in the community shield. As I understand it, he can play multiple positions and can slot in up front.
Imo minamino is not good enough for liverpool
Minamino played great when he came on against arsenal. Was constantly looking for gaps in the defence and looked sharp. Just needed time to assimilate with the squad, guy above me doesn’t know what he’s on about
Minamino is not good enough for premier league. But hopefuly he can step up his level ASAP.
Andika DR I am pretty sure he will be, improvements were seen against Newcastle last season and him and Keita made all the difference against arsenal (although minamino was better there was a brain fart moment for Keita when he lost the ball at the back and regained it only to lose it again)
Well if we can’t sign player look at the academy
Every other club took loans for COVID-19, LFC don’t want debt

Really appreciate the effort you put in. The financial statistics are great but I struggle to keep track of them, maybe a slightly animated table to summarise might help to visualise your points.
I love the video and I can understand their transfers a lot better now. Awesome bro.
The owners have invested huge amounts of money, and it has paid off with both trophies and revenue, so I understand them being reluctant to splash the cash.
@Jay Anthony @liv 125 I mean about the investment in stadium, facilities and players, it has to be all counted together. Did you watch the video? I think he mentioned that.
rollercoaster478 that’s just for their own gain how has that resulted in trophies?
@liv 125 and did it turn out well for arsenal

£60m target Sancho? Go about twice that number Alfie. More like €120m with his agent wanting a fee closer to 50m taking the overall cost comfortably over 150m
Hi Deependra, no doubt, but £60 million is reportedly what Man Utd were willing to pay up front, so it would make sense that they'd still have that £60 million to invest, which is what I was alluding to in terms of future business. Sancho may be worth £100 million+, but that doesn't mean Man Utd are going to be spending that much on anyone else, otherwise they probably would have just signed Sancho. Hopefully that makes sense.
@@HITCSevens you should pin this reply as everyone is going to ask you this
@@HITCSevens I don't think the reason for us not signing Sancho is lack of fund to finance the deal but more to do with having other positions to fill as well as the club not seeing the value in Sancho at North of €150m. Also Man Utd isn't Sancho's preferred destination. We will probably still end spending around 100m this window but hopefully we have seen the sense in not buying Sancho or Grealish at huge huge fees that could be better spent elsewhere.

Apparently not spending 500 million $ during the transfer window makes liverpool broke
That is just a stupid argument, no one is making, full straw man right there. people would like to buy 1 or 2 players at 50 or 60 million net spend in total, (not per player but 50 or 60 million for 2 players together.) to improve the team.
Who the fuck has ever spent 500 million$ in a transfer window tell me please? Squad depth is required for every team and we all know that Liverpool lacks depth and we all saw it in the last two seasons as well. Real Madrid are also quiet this season with no transfers but is anybody saying anything? no because they are fully ready for the next season. If you cant analyze, I suggest you not to make such dumb comments.
@@kushal9592 Liverpool had no depth? Remember when Salah and Firmino were out and we supposedly had absolutely no chance against Barca? Then Origi and Shaqiri smashed Barca.
Kavin Foo Do you really think that again if those injuries happen, with Origi and Shaqiri Liverpool can compete for champions league or Premier league? Who do you want to see Van Dijk partner in defense this season keeping in mind that treble might be the main objective for this season? Did you see recent performance of Henderson? What if one of the starting eleven is out of form? Who you want to replace them with?
@@kushal9592 origi is consistent. Minamino is in form... Henderson always performs he is our captain and the core of our squad VVD will perform and in saying that Gomez has been performing better.

Liverpool are not selling any players.. that is the reason fir their success.
u kidding? Coutinho sale got liverpool the power to buy virgil, alisson and Fabinho, its smart recruitment which converts 10-20m players to 100m+ players, michael edwards is the pillarstone of liverpool and its success.
Wijnaldum is leaving apparently
Yea also they don’t have many trophies until recently
Mauri Wijnaldum is leaving because they want Thiago... who is one of the best players in the world.
Sold Suarez, Coutinho, Sterling, Aspas, Torres, Lovren, Ings, Moreno, Lallana, Sakho, Benteke, Mignolet all under these owners. Not to mention the several others. 560m in sales since 2014 more than any other premier league club. Literally wtf are you talking about
Very interesting! Thanks for the breakdown. It confirms for me that for a club to achieve success, it starts with the owner. If it’s not the right match, it won’t be sustainable.
Great video! One advice is to show us the financial numbers instead of just saying them, since it can be a little hard to remember everything.
This seems a bit stupid after today 🤣
This video aged rather quickly lol
This honestly makes a lot of sense I really think we just need to bring in a few new players so we can rest our starters more. We need to bring in a back up striker or CF for Firmino because he played nearly match in the last 3 season. I would love to bring in Thiago yes £30 million but he’s 29 he’s a great player but if we could spend that money on a under the radar talent who’s a few years under around 23 or 24 we could make profit if they ever want to leave because they could be possible 27-28 or so on. I also think if we could off-load players like Shaqiri and Harry Wilson and possible Woodurn it would be really good for the team and fill those spots with current talent that we could really develop. But this doesn’t need immediate impact. I personally would only bring in a new CF Because there possibility Origi is leaving. Also Minamino is still adapting to his role he also can cover out wide but we need to bring in a CF or ST who are 25-26 to give Firmino a breather.
I feel that it's great that Liverpool look to youth more, I would like to see 2 or 3 more Liverpool academy graduates come through the ranks for you guys
The last two friendlies have shown that Minamino is possibly the Firmino backup you're looking for.

Another brilliant opinion based video, keep them up 👍
This team peaked in 2019, across the 2nd half of 2018/19 and the first half of 2019/20. Salah, Mane, Henderson, Wijaldum, Milner are all getting on a bit too. They could win the league again but if they finished 4th i honestly wouldn't be surprised.
I agree. We are defo favourites but if we get top 4 i wouldn't be shocked if we get top 4 man. We defo peaked in 2019 tbh.
You're talking out you're arse peaked for half of a season, they were consistent until we'd won it, people crying about Athletico are pathetic, few teams go to 3 finals in a row it's a crazy ask and Athletico have the perfect style to beat us, if rather play Bayern, Barca, City so on than Athleti because they are more open. Stop making out the entire team is dead after a few months it's stupidity, it's pre season and we had a far worse pre season last Yr.
@@matttully1904 Yeah mate smashing Leicester 4-0 part of a 10 game unbeaten run in the league after flamengo was really poor, we dropped off so much. I honestly don't know how we'd cope if that happened again.
Hopefully we never win 10 in a row again such terrible form, you know part of our 18 game win steak to match City's record doing even more work after the CWC than we'd done before to match the record it's a mystery how we won the league.
Its not that Liverpool doesn't have money its just the owners have sense to not spend stupidly where it may hurt them later in the future. Part of why it took Liverpool 30 years to win another top flight domestic was due to bad financial handling before. Most of the players Liverpool have bought within the last 5 years have appreciated past their cost. City has bought several in the same span that have depreciated. They spent barely 90mil on defense this how much city did and yet city is still spending on defense. Fans are too reactive of whats going on outside their club without putting it into context.

@@phiabee7064 lol
Liverpool do have money the owners are just being smart with it
Informative video 👍🏾
I like your vid. Now I would like to know your view on how Chelsea can spend so much and dealing well with the FFP.
By standing still were losing ground. I don't care what people say we should have freshened things up. We're not signing Thiago unless Gini leaves, this is a shocking state for a team that's been so successful.
I really hope I'm wrong but the team looked flat towards the end of Jan before the lockdown and we need quality additions, Klopp is gambling on the kids to get him through this can either go well or go wrong and I have a feeling we will be fighting for a top 4 finish rathar than the league itself.
I really really hope I'm wrong about this...
We can't sign Thiago unless Gini leaves mainly because the squad has reached its maximum overseas allowed players.
That's what everyone said last year when we didn't sign anyone... One year later we were champs of.. Well everything
Team was knackered after the amount of games they had in December and January.

@@bigmanscotty Were they?? How do you know, or is it just the bullshit you read, and prescribe to spout? BUY BUY BUY that's the answer!!! Of course it is!!! If that was the answer everyone would be competing.
Who's here after Liverpool sign thiago!!
Really love your videos!
I agree the stance on Thiago. But things might change if Barca comes knocking for Gini.
While the idea of adding just one big name after being crowned is valid, we must not forget that we also released some squad players (Clyne, Lovren, Lalana). Minamino and Jones might be able to fill in for Lalana, Neco for Clyne, but I don't see any young player ready to take Lovren's fourth choice CB cover. Man City slipped to an unimaginable level last season because they didn't replace Kompany, and their squad depth in CB wasn't good enough.
You pronounced Kirkby right mate, you don't pronounce the second k
What a stupid title, of course they have money, they just do not throw it around like monopoly money, the way the dodgy dealers do at other clubs
love the two beatles references mmt and getting better
I assume well be getting a lremier league predictions video sometime soon because id love to see that
Counter argument: Liverpool won the league last season by 18 points. The closest competition other than City in 2nd were United, Chelsea, and Leicester, all within 3 points of each other, with United and Chelsea both on 66. That is a 33 point gap from 1st to 3rd. Liverpool's thinking (I would argue) is that they don't need to go spend crazy because we already have that gap. They can get better internally and more players are building up to being solid parts of the squad (Curtis Jones has been pretty impressive). Chelsea, for example's sake, were hit with a transfer ban that prevented them from doing any business for the one full window. They locked in Ziyech, and so spent no money really in January either. So they've been going ham since to make up for lost ground.
Liverpool don't *need* to be spending big money. City will be competitive as usual, and Chelsea and United are trying to close that gap. Arguably Chelsea has (how well the signings work together remains to be seen, clubs have spent huge before and never settled into a rhythm), so the onus was on other clubs to try and go in and become competitive. At the very least Liverpool, and I would say City probably too, were sitting pretty after the season ended.
33 point gap from 1st to the 3rd best club last season. Why do Liverpool need to spend big? Just because other clubs are? Really just because Chelsea are? Sancho to United hasn't happened, 48 mil for Van De Beek isn't all that 'major.' Chelsea go in for Werner, Havertz, Chillwell, and Ziyech, get Silva and Sarr on frees. Because they needed to do that to be competitive.
If clubs feel the need to spend big for compulsion, whether out of competition with rivals or out of expectation, that's how you get a Barcelona-Coutinho disaster. I am perfectly content with Liverpool only signing Tsimikas so far. We don't need to be spending big just because other clubs are, if anything it's smarter to not do that. Wijnaldum to Barca sounds likely, if that happens then Liverpool bring in Alcantara (or a comparable midfielder if Alcantara doesn't work out), but where do Liverpool need to spend elsewhere? 55 million for a backup for Firmino? What is the point of that? At this point, Liverpool only needs to go in big if a big player leaves. So if Salah, or Van Dijk leave, and I don't know why they would under present circumstances.
I hate how people bandy this argument around like its a legitimate indicator of anything. Liverpool won the league by such a huge margin that fans saying just because Chelsea go in that Liverpool should (or that Liverpool is cheap, or whatever it is) is absurd. Chelsea needed to make up that 33 point gap and this window is how they are trying to make that happen. 33 points is massive as a margin, and that was just 1st to 3rd. That is how dominant Liverpool and City have been. It is on other clubs to spend to catch up.
warrior fight. I recall when Chelsea once finished 37 pts above Liverpool, the next season it was 19, the season after that 4 (or was it 7), anyway, point is things can change pretty fast.
@@perryspassage9474 I don't see that that has to do with what I was saying. Also, Liverpool aren't a "rich" club because they aren't state-subsidized by an oil power or funded by a Russian oligarch. The point is that, in this moment, it is wiser for Liverpool to not spend just out of media competition. Just because Chelsea is pouring money in doesn't mean Liverpool needs to. That would be a stupid response for them to have.
someone summarise this pls
@@pe1893 tl;dr Liverpool don't need to spend big just because other clubs are when their dominance was so significant
@@warriorfight111 I think you misunderstand me. I'm not saying Liverpool should be spending. Who am I to tell Klopp what is best, who is anybody to tell him what he should be doing for that matter. If I was a Liverpool fan I would have 100% trust in Klopp, what he has done in the last 4 yrs has been beyond impressive, incredible I would say.
What a manager, what a team builder. Dortmund & now Liverpool. No.1 manager in the world imo.
All I was doing was pointing out how things can change in football very quickly, but I'm sure you know that anyway.
Timo werner refused both Manchester clubs as well..
naaah he just wants to live in London
Great video,keep it up,,!
Great content.
Would have been immense if you could have used graphs or numbers because you can not put the information in context.
It ws hard to follow.
Sometimes an image tells more thn words
It's bs Liverpool do have money it's just they don't want to spend it. The owners are Americans so they have a different mindset. The way they look at it is if u can win the champions League and premier League with that team you don't need new signings. That's their mindset. Plus they are business men
Oh I see you've analysed the accounts of the club and determined there is sufficient funds.
Oh wait, you haven't?
@@SASMADBRUV7 I never said I disagreed with their tactics I'm just calling this excuse of no money bs 😂 and it's public to see so go look for urself smart ass. They obviously have money they just don't do business like the other clubs so learn a bit about the club owners and the way they do things before coming back with another stupid response business man 🤣 🤡
@@Pitbulljor you know that we have to pay wages to our wide variety of staffs. Plus, since covid hit our match day revenue have been dropped dramatically. Yes they are business men but they're trying to reduce our debt immensely. How is that not a positive outcome?
2:56 I sincerely hope someone gets it
beatles reference
Beatles song (Magical Mystery Tour), plus Beatles are from Liverpool, making this a fitting reference

Liked and subscribed. Great video. I feel a lot more informed on my favorite club now 👏
After mentioning Tifo, i feel like a 1 hour video of just Alfie and Joe talking about Robbie Brady is needed
We spend nothing last summer and won the league. I just want Thiago and maybe someone else . Then I’ll be happy. We already have a great squad but lack a top quality centre mid/attacking mid.
The Reds dont need Thiago. Let's get Keita firing this year
Mike Kennedy Keita isn’t good enough the last 2 years he hasn’t shown enough to be the main midfielder he would great along side Fabinho and Thiago then Ox and Henderson can rotate
tbh we have gotten very lucky with injuries to that front 3, did any of them actually get injured? if they did it wasn't for very long. LFc fan and its cliche but I think this is the season where it will unravel abit because the squad does need more quality to keep improving etc but they literally are resting on their laurels this time regardless of the covid thing. i agree about thiago I really do, its very rare at a club now where you get a player who can instantly challenge and play right of the bat in the first team and make a difference/ this window really demines the season in my eyes because you forget lfc have just won 4 trophies in 13 months but that can only keep on happening if that squad improves and its freshened up. i say 3rd or 4th this year.
If wijnaldum is going then we need to sign thiago. Also we need a few backups and a big signing if we want to defend the title
Sick of this comment
It's not luck. It's smart investment, remember we were about to sign Fekir, what happened?
That's right we pulled out as we found out he had a history of injuries keeping him out for ages, our current players do not.
To put that down to pure luck is just stupid it's a vital part of our recruitment process
Yeah the guys who do sports science will be pretty pissed, this stuff is meticulously planned.
@@adamorr2724 dude look up their ventures with the boston red sox etc they finally won the WS after 80 years in 2013 and basically FSG has packed up shop in terms of recruitment and let the team rot. it seems a case of well we've accomplished what we set out and now as owners we don't have to anything else whats done is done now and let me tell you that team is so so far away now from winning another title now because of FSGs scrimping. they've basically been left to stagnate and it seems a curse now that they won that WS. The same is and will continue to happen here at LFC and when it does I want a full apology from you when it goes pear shaped im that overconfident in what ive said here. It will unravel at a rpaid rate, they tried the youth thing to save money and its gone terribly wrong.
Maybe our medical team is good?
Great video
Thanks
That editing flex was fantastic haha
