there`s enough things to worry about in the here and now never mind something that happened 2 and a half years ago under people who have left the club.

Firstly we haven't lost our best player.
Secondly, you don't know BR's budget, so saying he's blowing half of it is sensationalist speculation.
And for all you know this Spanish version could be the Dutch version of Kuyt.

i reckon suarez is off, i know his agent has come out and said that he`s staying but suarez mentioned in that radio interview that his family arent happy in liverpool, once they throw that one into the hat (like mascherano) it`s only a matter of time imo.
secondly the liverpool echo said the other day that rodgers will have a transfer warchest of £20m plus anything he can generate by player sales.
and thirdly, i wasnt kuyts biggest fan, imo he was a failed CF, he was brought here to lead the line and score goals but he ended up being shoved out wide because he wasnt up to the job we originally bought him for. he was lucky that the then manager rafa benitez put great stock in hard work or he would have went the same way as our other CF flops like cisse, morientes, baros etc

And like I said, Suarez is still here. If he leaves I'll apologise personally for not believing your mystic powers.
What the echo write and know are two different things.
Kuyt was better than Downing at 20M.

the echo know a lot, if you didnt live on a different planet (oh sorry, i mean time zone) you`d know that the echo is the mouthpiece of the 2 local clubs and i dont know what downing has got to do with this, your obsessed with him.

The echo know a lot, but they're not going to know whether FSG suddenly have a change of mind and say 'here is an extra 10M to buy such and such', and it doesn't mean they are going to know the finer details of Rodgers' budget. So you running round acting the drama queen whinging about half a budget being spent on a bloke because he's not a marquee signing is speculative at best. So excuse me if I don't join in with this latest bout of negative hysteria you're pushing.
i`m not denying i`m well fvcking p1$$ed off at the moment, i`m sick of this 2 steps forward 3 steps back lark, you can be a happy clapper all you want lad but i`ve been watching this game for a long, long time and i havent seen many clubs that continually sell their best players (and dont replace them with other top players) go on to have any sort of sustained success.
since we started selling our better players we`ve dropped from second to seventh. this summer a club stalwart in carragher has retired and there`s a good chance suarez and reina will be gone too.
we finished last season well and we got lucky in the last transfer window, any club with real ambition would have backed that up with signings like erikssen, papadopolous and alderweired, what do we do? spend a lot of money (it`s similar to what we spent on coutinho and not far off what we spent on sturridge) on a throw of the dice.
the odds of this policy of fsg`s paying off are huge. especially when you are competing against clubs like united, city, chelsea, arsenal and spurs.
even if we do find a top player (like coutinho) how long is it before he starts getting itchy feet because we arent in the CL?

Sell both for 10 million each (I'm hoping we can at least get that much for those two) and buy Bojan Krkic to replace Downing's position.... apparently he's looking for 1st team football... he is also available for 15 million euros... which is only 12.8 million pounds...

he`s over rated, he`s done nothing at milan and cant get a game.
if erikssen isnt a realistic target then i`d rather go for someone like that brian ruiz at fulham, he`s very skillfull, can run with the ball, take players on and can find a pass too. i think he`d link up really well with coutinho. then again we probably arent top of fulhams christmas card list after the carry on last season.

Well same could be said for Coutinho... he's done nothing at inter... but look how he turned out at us... Bojan could be as good as Coutinho... he was touted as a huge potential a few years ago, even more well known than Coutinho, and what do we have to lose? It's replacing Downing FFS... his is a case similar to Coutinho, it's not that he wasn't good, it's that he couldn't get a chance... it can happen at big clubs like milan...
