I was just wondering. If both Alisson and Fekir (or alternative) are brought in, and with Keita and Fabinho already purchased thus far this summer, won't our spending go above the 200Mil, and closer to the 250Mil mark? Not to mention the 75Mil just spent on VVD barely 6 months ago?

Nobody wondering if one of our front 3 will be sold to bring some balance to our books?

I think the new TV deal and our run to the Champions League final will offset a lot of the costs in the long run, but I have no idea what financial year all the different payments will fall in and how it works out regarding FFP. Transfers are rarely paid in a lump sum and I don't know if winnings and TV revenue is paid as a lump either.

Best not to worry too much about money. Salah and Firmino have already signed new contracts so they don't be going anywhere.

Klopp has spent about £70M net in 6 windows so far, we'll be alright.

I'm actually not worried about money per se MK. More worried about losing players because of money. All I know is that the VVD purchase was made in one lump sum, and winnings and TV revenue from both EPL and UEFA for this past season will come much later in the year (if I correctly recall from one of ED002's replies a long time ago) . In fact Ed002 has said several times that debt and/ or borrowing was creeping up again, so it's something that the bean counters at the club will definitely be looking at.

Money is like Ravenholme. We don’t go there! Hey.

We will get get to a stage where we don't need to do as much though surely? Most of the big signing have years left in them and if they settle will only need to buy big to replace an outgoer. We were crying out for a new CB and a GK, we bought matip, lovren, klavan, and none except lovren have held a place - yes we spent more on vvd but he should hold that position for at least his contract, same if we signed alisson.

FSG know the value of Liverpool will increase with success i. e. trophies. So they are investing in a manager that has proven to them that he knows what he's doing.

Success brings increased fan numbers and therefore revenue through various means. Brand value is huge at big companies including top football clubs.

They won't worry about debt creeping up at this stage as they are speculating to accumulate. They are rich for a reason and have the best finance advisors around them. They will adapt based on how successful we are.

When it comes to money, people had better check what Ed02 has said about LFC spending money they do not have yet as in, spending future earnings as well as the amount of debt that that is creeping up on the club. No one really knows what is going on with the money situation is so all we have is speculation.

I think people are forgetting that even if Fekir and Allison were to be signed, there will be outgoings from the squad which will bring the net spend for this window down. People need to relax, they moan when the club shows what they percieve as no ambition and then when the club "potentially"has the best transfer window in a generation people still find a way to be pessimistic. These people are billionaires who have proven in the past they don't want to put the club at risk financially. they know what they are doing.

To expand on FMS’s view, money is like the tight brown.

Always, but always, stick with the easy pink unless you want lots and lots of grief, a telling off and frustration

😀.

Not 1 mention of the fact we sold Coutinho?
Plus we won’t have paid (or be paying) any in full (bar VVD) anyway and since FFP is over a 3 year period we'll be perfectly fine. Unless we go mad again next summer xD.
