Liverpool chief’s transfer pledge
Fresh from the club making their latest summer purchase, Liverpool chairman Tom Werner has promised to keep investing in the club, in order to bring ‘the lustre’ back.
Liverpool today completed the £6 million capture of leftback Jose Enrique from Newcastle United, taking their summer spending to £54 million – adding to the £57.8 million spent in January on capturing Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez, marking the biggest spending spree in the club’s history – and there are no plans to cut back.
Speaking on an interview with LFC TV, Werner also stopped short of defining any targets for the coming season: ‘I don’t want to promise so much. I know John [Henry] has said we’re going to be top four and Kenny [Dalglish] says well why can’t we win. But we just want to move forward – we want to be better this year than last year and just keep going on the right track.

He added: ‘I think the most important thing, and it may seem obvious, is put on a quality product for your fans. These are people who spend their hard earned pounds to come to see the club, and we’ve got supporters all around the world, who expect a quality product, and so it’s been our goal to try to improve our position on the pitch and to try and create an environment for players to say they want to play in Liverpool, and to bring some of the lustre that all the fans know back to the club.’
