Gomez and now Ings both ruled out for the rest of the season with ACL injuries?! FFS! 

Recall Balotelli? haha.

I think we may see this line-up

Sturridge (£12m)

Lallana (£25m)        Coutinho (£8.5m)      Ibe/Milner (£0.5m/Free)

    Can (£10m)            Milner/Lucas (Free/£6m)

Moreno (£12m)     Sakho (£18m)     Skrtel (£6.5m)      Clyne (£12.5m)

Mingolet (£10m)

I was thinking that was an uninspiring team, then I started to wonder how much it cost to assemble, so added the cost of each player. Making this as nice as possible (starting Milner and Ibe), that team cost £115m. That also doesn't include Beneteke (£32m), Frimino (£29m), Markovic (£20m), Lovren (£20m), Ballotelli (£16m), Joe Allen (£15m).

That is a fudge of a lot of money wasted.

Yeah this stuff was getting published a fair bit in all the rags prior to BR getting the boot. I guess some of it was desperation (thinking Andy Carroll after Torres left), getting carried away and then some with the Suarez money (Markovic, Mario etc.) and some of the others was a manager wanting a couple of his former favourites in (Allen, Borini).

Reeeaaaallllyyy hoping Mr Klopp is going to be able to get a bit out of this bunch before recruiting to some kind of plan, rather than just throwing darts at a list of names.
