Hmmm.... Liverpool's problem in recent (especially under Rafa) years was that it was a one in one out policy to balance the books near enough so we couldn't sign World Class without letting someone else go so we never had a squad of established players it was either a star starter or a youngster / average player trying to make the grade.
Poulsen etc? Let's not even bloody go there

Actually, Liverpool's spending has been anything but balanced. If you look at the various charts, there are only the two billionaire clubs City and Chelsea who have outspent them and there is something like a £130 million difference over the last 8 years between bought and sold. Your net spend after deductions for sales is the third highest in the league. You've overhauled your squad every year and brought in too many average rubbish players instead of planning a long term improvement by buying two or three very good players, that's your problem.
