Five things we learned from Liverpool’s transfer window, including a change in spending tact

Posted by

The club is already admitting its failings of summer 2014…

By loaning out Balotelli (£16m) and Markovic (£20m), the club is essentially accepting that it wasted £36m last year.

The marquee purchase of Roberto Firmino perhaps suggests that we’ve recognised the £25m spent on Adam Lallana, another attacking midfielder, was poorly invested as well.

What’s more, they sold Rickie Lambert following one dismal season at the club, and neither Alberto Moreno (£12m) or Divock Origi (£10m) can get in the side right now. In fact, of the £117m soent on new talent, only Lovren and Emre Can are being used regularly, and only the Croat as a first-choice starter (for now).

While it’s at least promising that the management and club are recognising transfer failings and not sticking with them to make a point, it does remind us of just how appallingly we invested last summer.
