The club is it’s supporters - not its board, management team or players who would readily trade up for profits or for higher remuneration. If a supporter doesn’t even have the slightest concern at the club not making any signings at this stage of the window then something really is amiss.

Quick one to give a little perspective here. Has there been any balanced review of the massive risks Liverpool are taking with their spending in 2018?
A signing isn't just the transfer fee. It's also the wages x years on contract, agents 'commissions', the lost spot for a youth system player, etc.
That team has possibly mortgaged the future to crack 2nd.
And Christ knows what happens after Brexit. The arse falls out of the pound, we know that. Now's not the time for financial extravagance.
Liverpool may have the wealth to ride out the gamble, but I can't see Fulham, Palace or those teams being able to.
Let's get back to reality. I'd rather have a viable team in 5 years. If it all goes tits up today there is one club in the league with sustainable wages and a sensible transfer policy. With also the most valuable player in the world, who just committed to us for another 5 years or so.
Hands up who remembers Austin on one side and Edinburgh on the other? Or that gurning fuck Walker laughing every time he conceded? Iversen. Rebrov. Mido. Samways. Fuck lads, this club has improved more than any other in England (organically), through strategy.

Ok so say we sell Toby and buy no one, will you be first on here to say how shambolic its been ?
Until that happens, I'm not getting frustrated about anything.
You're getting absolutely worked up over nothing but twitter talk and media chat. A media that sells off our manager and squad almost every single week.
What reality has hit? I’m happy with last season and the window....
You seem to be mixing up dropped and sold.
I wanted them dropped.
Poch sacked? Haha nice one.....Poch dropped and sold Walker. I backed it and I think Trippier is better. Poch dropped Toby.
It’s another type of fan that probably wants him sacked......the type that clearly thinks he’s fucked our defence up. Like you maybe.
I’ll just get behind Foyth and CCV.
Toby did fuck all between November and May, played about 3 games and was cack in all of them.
Get top whack, so what.
I’d imagine Liverpool are hoping the pound plummets (even more), as all their wealth will be in dollars.
As an aside, having just got back from Majorca, the current euro rate can shampoo my balls.
You can just as easily flip that around about the giant risk we are taking if we finish 5th and get some unrest from kane, eriksen, alli, etc.
I'll be going to London around october we can meet up there
I support the club and it’s policy, you can cry about whatever the fuck you like
No thanks
I disagree. No one is bigger than the club.
If those boys go the club gets fees closing in on a billion.
You’re a shit fan, never around when it’s good
I know you jest, but he was the difference between 20th and 11th for Palace.
Personally couldn't care less if he doesn't sign for us.
First of all, we would get nowhere close to a billion. Second of all, finding replacements for world class players is difficult.
Yay. A billion £££ for levy not to spend.
Well, no. We need to approach it with a strategy. Start the bidding at £20m. That ought to get their ear.
Good for you - most however will take the view that the current custodians of the club are accountable to the supporter base and not the other way around. This extreme defence irrespective of the circumstance is bordering on the absurd - we will have bad windows from time to time - which will warrant criticism but that does not automatically translate into wanting the board gone.
Steady the fuck on.
£20million in a series of instalments, with each pegged to the Chinese lunar cycle.
