Gakpo will be lightning on Klopp’s drugs. It’s been a tough time for Klopp only ha I f the 5 world class forwards to choose from rather than 6 for half a season.

Why I said last season if we go down its not the end of the world for me as the PL is finished regardless with us simply making up the numbers now.
Newcastle the only side who can join the cabal by doping themselves silly with Saudi sponsers and telling UEFA/PL to do one.

In talks with Brighton for Caicedo (already agreed terms) it seems.

Thank you Mike hope you are well.
To be fair, we had the finances over the last 6 or 7 years to be one of them, we just spent it very poorly

We’d be competing with Liverpool right now if they’d also spent £500m on Championship players.

We have had two summers of big spend really (£150 millions under Walsh and £115 millions under Brands) in which we recouped £154 millions of that selling Lukaku, Stones and Gana.
Other than those two summers we've spent not much more than what other teams our size spend (Villa, WHU, Leicester, Wolves etc.)
You also have to factor in you can spend big but if you're not a CL club you cannot attract the better players neither can you afford to pay 120k+ a week for a squad or 25+ players.
The whole things a con mate.

It is to an extent, yet I think it's fair to suggest the finances we've utilised would have been enough to put us at least in the top half, if used wisely.
If not further up the table. The issue is that in the mainstay we've spent poorly during Moshiri's tenure, which has now come home to roost in terms of our squad.
Leicester have been in trouble this season, and financially they need to secure many of their players, but they still have a good squad and can sell if needed.
The likes of the RS have gone and spent about £35-45m on Gakpo, which feels like a solid purchase - affordable for them and will improve their squad.
He looked tripe at the World Cup, thought United were bound to drop another clanger signing him. Not worried about him at all.

Really? In that period we’ve sold Lukaku Stones Barkley Gueye Richarlison. We couldn’t continue to afford the wages of James either. We could only give Benitez 1.5 million due to FFP.
Yes we spent some money under Koeman Silva and Ancelotti but when you look at the sales of top players against this and spread it out over a period of more than about one season it’s nowhere near the top clubs who can pump that type of money into their squad every single window season after season without ever feeling the FFP constraints.
There’s many problems at Everton and yes we’ve bought extremely poorly but there’s just no way that there’s a level playing field financially between the top clubs and the rest. Because we wasted money on Dwight McNeill is not the reason that City and Liverpool have multiple forwards on their bench that are more expensive than our record signing.

This was the club that was being held up as the exemplar of how to compete financially against the top clubs. Find prospects, develop them up, get a good manager in, progressive football. Now they’re bottom half, couldn’t sign anyone because of FFP and now have to dismantle the team it’s taken them years to put together.
There's certainly been mismanagement, which many attribute to the death of the owner and the financial impact of COVID on the owner's business.
Still, they're above us in the table, have a better squad and will be able to sell assets to develop a new squad if required. A better position than us, surely.
