Liverpool didn't need a rich owner

ah, yes, this is true, but think if we could have had a rich owner.... with our history and tradition coupled with a couple hundred of million of dollars and we'd be fricking set.....

a man can dream, can't he?!

anyway, mid way thru my FIFA 12 Manager Mode and my 'Pool club looks like this:
Starting XI
GK-Reina
RB- Kelly (sold Johnson for $19 million, $4.5 mil. over est. worth
CB- Agger and Skrtel
LB- Jose Enrique
CDM- Sami Khedira (sold Lucas for $18.5 million, $7.5 mil over
RM-Henderson (sold Downing for $28 mil, 6.5 over worth)
LM- Adam
CAM-Gerrard
CF-Suarez (of course, who else?)
ST-Carroll

Bench/reserves
GK-Jones (Hansen and Gulasci loaned for season)
CB- Carra, Coates, Wilson
LB-Robinson
RB-Mario Gaspar (from Villareal) and Flanagan (Mendy and Darby loaned for full season
CAM- Oscar (20 y.o., 77 OVR, from Brazil), (Cole loaned for season)
CDM- Matip (from Schalke), Coady loaned for season
CM- Spearing and Shelvey
LM- X. Shaqiri (19 y.o, 76 OVR from Switzerland) and Bellamy
RM-Maxi and C. Clemons (20 y.o., 71 OVR, from Germany)
CF- Pacheco and Adorjan both loaned for season
ST- Babacar (18 y.o., 72 OVR, from Fiorentina), Eccleston, Amoo (loaned for the season)

recalled Aquaman from his loan stint, only to turn around and sell his arse for $2 million more than he's worth ($19 million) to Newcastle.... also sold, Fab Aurelio, Kuyt, Wisdom, and Doni.... in all, we started with $58 million in available funds, but now have about $101 million, plus we have many great young pieces that we can develop and later sell for a great profit....

side note, in FIFA 12, transfers are insane.... Rooney was sold to Bayern Munich, Modric is at Man U, Kaka is at Chelski, Drogba was sold to PSG, David Silva is at Arsenal, both the Toure brothers ended up somewhere else other than Man City, Clint Dempsey was sold to Bolton, Sagna and Cambiasso ended up at Man City....
Nani, Ji Sung Park, and Higuain are at Tottenham.... they have Adebayor coming off the bench now!

it's like the creators over compensated for the lack of transfer offers and shite on FIFA 11, and went overboard, to a certain extent with it this year.... it's better, but damn.... Rooney requesting a transfer then getting dealt was too unbelievable and you don't want that in a game based on a real sport....

and yeah, i know wrong board, but it started off with the rich owner comment and sorta drifted, so eat a bag of dicks
