The £20million spent on Aquilani

[Bender]

Think it could have been spent better on at least 2 players who could have gone straight into the team or 1 marquee signing who wasn't injured

We paid what £5m up front, so i don't think the funds would have stretched to two good players actually. Certainly not when you consider wages, agent fees etc.

i see well then that make this thread null and deviod

that 20 mill could have been spent on van der vaart who is available for around 6 mill and then 14 mill to spend on one more striker.

i'd rather have spent the 20 mill on aqua though as i beleive he will be a great xabi replacement once rafa gives him a game. it's the 18 mill he spunked on johnson i think he should have spent wiser.

Aquaman could potentially be as big a signing as Torres for us. Must think ahead sometimes, in this case we are. This season is a write off so why risk potentially one of the best signings LFC will ever make?

Give the guy a chance, he could yet prove to be a great signing. The problem is he wasn't available for longer than we thought initially

Aquilani actually cost 17 million - pls don't listen/read the garbage mentioned in the english media!

Instant gratification is all people want though.

Interestingly the russian Chelsea signed for £18 mill in the summer Zhirakov???? made his premier league debut today.
Nothing mentioned in the press about that one is there

Yeah but didn't he get injured after they signed him?

There is a difference though, as they are top of the league, plus 18 mill to them is like 18 thousand to us.
