In the past 18 months transfer fees have gone crazy. Liverpool paid 50 million quid for Keita and he’s a complete donkey.
If you arguing about the business side of things there is no comparison. Man united generate far more revenue that any other premier league team.
The notion that Klopp has done this on a small budget is bizarre. He breaks the world transfer record regularly and has bought pretty much every player in his squad.
Klopp is a genius - he has worked miracles.
I hate buying players for big money and would Much rather develop our players. Chelsea have consistently outspent man united since 2003.
Liverpool won the league with 11 players born within 100 yards of Anfield I believe
Even better spewn mackenna and Miguel Delaney will be driven nuts by this.
The only connection between Liverpool City and their squad / manager Is where their stadium is located.
FFP is a complete joke if you can just buy your way out of it.
A precedent has been set here. Buy who you want. Pay the 10 million fine (about 1/5 of a sub left back these days) and carry on
Here’s your post on the Manchester City thread from one minute prior to addressing this post to yours truly. Its hilarious @BruidheanChaorthainn can’t comment on Manchester City without bringing Coach Klopp and Liverpool into it.
He hasn’t even bought a player of note in the last 18 months bar Minamino. Liverpool would have been the 6th destination of choice for players moving to the Premier League in 2015. Through patient rebuilding he had made them the envy of Europe over the past 18 months. Basically swapped Kevin Stewart for Andy Robertson😅
No one is saying he hasn’t done a fantastic job. He’s turned Liverpool into an awesome team.
But the notion he’s done it on a shoestring is nonsense.
Not a hope Liverpool would have won the Champions League and Premier League without him. He’s been iconic.
You’ve been proven to be a dinosaur yet again. You claimed man united fans hate not being able to out spend their rivals even though Chelsea have out spent regularly since 04. In that period I think it’s 6 league titles and a champions league.
You claimed Klopp won the league on a shoe string budget yet Klopp increased Liverpool’s wage budget by 90 and broke the world transfer record twice.
You are a complete and utter donkey that knows nothing about about anything.
Correct. Liverpool have bought the title and fair play to them.
They can afford to fork out 40 million on agent fees despite not even signing a player.
I wouldn’t go as far as to say they’ve bought the title. Other clubs have spent more. But Liverpool went and broke transfer records when needed. They are certainly one of the big boys, financially.
I haven’t seen any reputable sources to prove that Liverpool have increased their wage bill by “90”. Inflation in the past 5 years would have added to it no doubt. Liverpool would have been regularly beaten to players in the financial stakes by Arsenal and Spurs when Klopp arrived. They don’t spend on a par with the Manchester clubs or Chelsea but have blown them out of the water on the pitch this season.
Klopp is a magician … selling Coutinho for 130m 
bought Ali and Van -the rest as they say is history.
Man U have by a distance of £70 million the highest wage bill in the EPL. They pay £332 million in wages. Sheffield United pay £13.1 million in wages. They’ve spend close to a billion on players since Sir Alex departed and have fielded a starting XI in their last four matches that cost something like £480 million to assemble.
Odd that you carp about just about every other club and the money they spend but never comment on the financial largesse of the team that you support.

Fabinho and Firmino were reared in an estate near Stanley Park.
