Not something Liverpool have been good with in the last 20-odd years...
LOL ! good one.
But to be fair, I think we have had some success if you look at some of Houllier's and Rafa's signings:
hyppia, henchoz, babel, mcallister, heskey in summer of 2000. Won 3 trophies
Alonso, garcia, (summer of 2004). Won the CL.
torres, kuyt, masch, benayoun. (2005-09) we were consistent CL and PL top-4.
Yes both managers made blunders (Diao, Diouf, Cheyrou, Babel, Keane, Aquilani, etc)
Dalglish was probably the worst though, making so many blunders in one summer....hard to top that one.
But if you look at the records of Rafa and Houllier it is almost 50-50...and Rodgers has also had a bad start to his transfer dealings.
So not filled with much confidence if Rodgers is given a large amount of money !!
