We can’t spend the ridiculous amounts that L’pool have done over the last few seasons though.We don’t know how much Werner would cost so it’s all speculation on that. He could be available for 55 million as Breezer intimated. The key thing is, it seems buying this calibre of player is beyond us and that is very concerning on two fronts. It means, it’s unlikely we will be able to improve the side any further than we have now unless we get lucky with someone like a Son, but they rarely come off. Or we buy potential like Sanchez, which is all well and good, but it would be difficult to argue Sanchez has taken us up a level. He hasn’t. He’s added depth but that’s it. He won’t win you a league. We need to make VVD type signings and those cost 70 million.
Secondly, Poch gets fed up and walks.
The galling thing is Liverpool have literally shown us how to do it. Just add top tier quality to an already talented existing squad. As Poch has said with us needing to find a different way to operate, our transfer strategy Levy has succeeded with so far, only gets you so far. It won’t take you to champions. We need to change it, but it seems we can’t. Quite depressing.
I hope this isn’t going off on a tangent too much, it’s still instrincly linked to the ITK we have received tonight. Our transfer strategy has taken us so far and it’s reaches its limit. We need to change. Levy needs to change.
