Morning lads I've been told by a good friend of mine with connections to the club that's the budget for this season is £25 million plus player sales so I don't see us going big this summer.

Brandt will cost between 50-60million so very unlikely

We could be taking gotze on a two year contract as Klopp wants to loan jones and Woodburn out as he sees them as future first trainers in 2/ 3 seasons so gotze is the perfect stop gap as a lallana replacement although it's believed he will have to take a pay cut as we only want to offer him around 70k pw.

Just passing this on, peace ✌️.

I mean I appreciate the info but time and again the Ed's have there aren't really set budgets in the traditional sense.

It sounds to me like your friend got his info from a certain journalist. I mean all three of those predictions just seem way off.

I can't see that happening Lerchy mate. The owners will back JK as much as they can.

Budget of £25 mil?
Linked to gotze?
What is this?
2015?
I heard we’re scouting Arda Turan.

Ed02 answered this a couple of weeks ago and said that was not true.

Think your mates have read some stories published by the papers who don't know anything either.

Guys the OP is just passing on what he’s been told, there’s no need to get so aggressive. If the player sales includes Ingsy and Solanke, plus whatever we get from other player sales such as Kent Migs etc. its not so bad. I don’t think there will be any 50M+ signings this summer, and with Ox coming back, we just need three squad additions - GK, full back cover, and maybe a right footed attacking player. £60-80M May be sufficient.

I agree Klopping in the sense that this is a rumours website and most of us are more than happy for a little gossip, but "so aggressive" seems a little dramatic don't you think?

It was triggered by a journalist called David Orstein who appears to have a crystal ball.

No one’s being aggressive, peeps jus layin down a slab of truth. There’ll be no quarter billion spending, but if one the big dogs leaves the yard then a new puppy will have to be sought. Howevs, the sentiment of a smaller net spend is more likely than the last two seasons, especially if we have spent beyond our means as Bro002 implied. Ya feel me?

Brandt went to Dortmund for £24mil. a lot less than the £50-60mil muted above.

I'm I missing something or didn't ed02 say the "release clause" or whatever it's called in his contract was unrelated to Liverpool? We wouldn't have gotten him that cheap clearly.
I trust Klopp and his team, if they didn't press for him or whoever, I like to think there's a plan for a better alternative. In this moment, we all should be worrying about how to get past TOT and lift that trophy and not transfers. The campaign have been a blinder and would be nice to add a trophy for the first time since 2012.

I am happy for Klopp to improve what he has got so as long as no e of the big hitters leave it's as you were next season. Although I would like to add goals from midfield.

me too Lang. Think Kieta and the OX will both get some goals and Firmino should get a few more next year. Just need that one player AM who can cover the front 3. I thought that was Brandt, but many seem to be available. Hope we choose the right one.

It’s not just getting goals, we lack a midfielder that can pick a pass in midfield. We’re too lumpen and workmanlike, plus we have no one who is capable of taking a free kick.

How do we lack a midfielder that can pick a pass. Hendo, Fab, the Ox, Shaq and Keita are all decent passes and look to move possession into attack.
