It’s not making that much of a difference is it? A loan that size over 5-10 years is a small repayment. The only reason they used their own credit facility was because of the low interest rate which saved them £3m in interest per year.

I don't like this gap between the world cup ending and the PL starting, pre-season can only do so much.
At least once the season starts this year the window will be completely closed for once and we can just get on with it.

Ah thanks, didn’t realise there was an actual answer.
Is the window still open to sell abroad? We will have three weeks of Ramsey to Juventus links.

We have spent 180m in a year. Lets face it our selling ability has been p1ss poor, apart from maybe ox. The sanchez situation should have not dragged on.
Its a shame we never got the money for Alexis.
I like Micky but 40-60m extra & 100k+ free wages for the new regime could go a long way.

You take £60m for Sanchez every time. Even if we had done it we’d have followed up with a **** decision anyway by spending £90m on Lemar. We could’ve bought Mahrez and had change left over.

That's one way of looking at it.
One could also say that reuniting the potent couplet of Mkhitaryan and Aubameyang was a good move. In other words, we were lucky that we got a player who already had a fantastic rapport with our record signing.

Leno, Sokratis and Torreira especially have improved our starting 11?
Why do good signings have to = tonnes of cash?! I could make a pretty comprehensive list of players who were signed for bucket loads and completely failed.
You only throw HUGE money at real top quality, like Aubameyang. Which we did!!
Literally agree with Mark on this. What do you actually expect? Us to go out and get Alisson or Oblak for £70-100M? They wouldn't join us. Would you prefer us to get Jorginho for £55M over Torreira cos he cost more?
THE ONLY position I could sympathise with you on spending big on a top young player would be a CB. But we need to see how Mustafi, Holding, Chambers and Sokratis go first under a new regime.

Bit worried about that, maybe that's why we're supposedly trying to sign another midfielder.
At least we can sign players then still have the deadwood cleared through August.

Exactly hopefully things will change both on and off the field. If we could sell like Pool and Chelsea

It's a massive difference - I believe the loan doesn't have a fixed amortisation term, i.e. pay whenever you can. FSG may very well forgive the debt, that is a possibility.

So Liverpool are still without a creative midfielder.

Our selling ability is a huge reflection of the players we have recruited over the years, so many poor signings with rubbish resell values and contracts they dont deserve.
Ox could have been a £50mil+ RWB if his contract was under control.

I don't think that's entirely accurate. For some reason, Wenger sold his best players for small fees.
Henry, Nasri, Adebayor, Fabregas, RvP all went for less than their value and I don't understand the reason why that happened.
I remember when Henry was sold to Barca and I expected us to get around 40-50 mil for him considering the player he was. I was flabbergasted when we let him go for a measly 21.50 mil, even if he was almost 30 at that time.
Wenger was always good at getting players for relatively small fees, but was dropping the ball when he was selling them.

I was confused by that too. Couldn't believe the fee he went for.

Might be the age factor and that nagging Achilles tendon injury he was having for a while that played a part in the fee, but all that aside, we could have got at least 30-33 mil for him.
I mean, the quality they were getting for the money was invaluable and they went on to win the treble, so it would have been worth it.
