Kieta, karius, oxlade chamberlain... They have their misses
Pretty sure they are trying to shuffle Minamino out the door quietly too.
Darwin Nunez joins Liverpool in club-record £85m transfer deal from Benfica
Darwin Nunez has joined Liverpool from Benfica for a club-record £85m; the Uruguay forward has signed a six-year contract at Anfield; the 22-year-old scored 34 times for the Portuguese side in all competitions last season
£85m? Fuck me. One good season in a pub league. I'm sure he's good but £85m? Jesus.
Think your right. It is a big gamble.Darwin Nunez joins Liverpool in club-record £85m transfer deal from Benfica

Hope so. About time they have a major cockup. I miss the days when their marquee signings resulted in Andy Carroll.
Anfield.
The year is 2046.

Mates and I were joking about this before the fixture list came out and suggested the EPL wouldn't have the plums to give them a promoted team yet again.
Fair play to them that they don't even hide it. I wonder who they'll get from Portugal in the CL this season.
It's like Clark Griswold's, Jelly of the Month Club - it's the gift that keeps on giving.
100% gamble. Only thing is liverpool tend to get their big money signings right unfortunately.Darwin Nunez joins Liverpool in club-record £85m transfer deal from Benfica

Seemingly they do something called due dillegence.
We're only catching up in that regard
I agree these days but this one is still funny. Since Carol they have done pretty good business.

Not sure about that, they wasted the Suarez money as well on a lot of dross. Something that Brendan said wouldn't happen, after learning from how we spent the Bale money!
Keita and Oxlade weren't cheap either.
They really got lucky with Coutinho, Barca paid more than double what he was worth but they were A) loaded by the Neymar sale and B) desperate!
It's beyond due diligence, Liverpool's scouting has been incredible the past 5 years. They've practically not missed at all. It's a statistically improbable run - that they've managed it and it's only just about pulled them to the top of the league, rather than miles beyond it, is just an indictment of modern football.
No way we can replicate that success in recruitment. Indeed, I don't expect they can either. As they lose players like Mane and Salah I think you'll see their success rate regress to the mean.

Yeah, it's becoming increasingly clear that City are impossible to compete against. Every single one of their back line cost more than or equal to our record signing (except Zinchenko, but that's about to change).
If a player doesn't work out, just buy another one.
Yeah. The costs of missing for clubs that have to operate on real financial principles can be punative for big misses (Sissoko, Ndombele, Sanchez to an extent). For them, they just buy another. Or, as they did with LB not that long ago, buy 2 in a window and see which one works.
