Kenny Dalgish has told Liverpool fans to expect plenty more big-name signings in the summer. After selling Fernando Torres to Chelsea on deadline day, Liverpool turned around and broke their transfer record twice by landing Andy Carroll and Luiz Suarez for a combined £58m.
Now Dalglish is telling Liverpool fans that Carroll and Suarez are not the only big names that will be moving to Anfield. Liverpool’s U.S. owners are committed to making the necessary investments in the Liverpool squad so that it can once again challenge for trophies in England.
“The owners have been fantastically supportive during this window, which was busy but I think very beneficial to the football club. In fact they may be slightly disappointed they didn’t get someone else. Anyone who had any doubts about hunger or anybody taking this club forward, they’re gone now. In the summer we’ll be looking forward to trying to enhance what we’ve got.”
The purchases of Carroll for £35m and Suarez from Ajax for £22.8m were offset by the sales of Torres for £50m and Babel for £6m. So the net cost to Liverpool in January was only about £1.8m. Liverpool fans will want to see a bigger commitment from their U.S. owners in the summer than £1.8.
