This is the Blood Red Podcast from the Liverpool Echo, giving you the inside track on all the big talking points from Anfield.

Hello everybody and welcome to the latest analyzing and field.

Still, Liverpool are the champions of Europe, six-time European Cup winners.

The football season's over, but we're not.

We are carrying on all the way throughout the summer and what we want to talk about today is transfers.

I'm your host Kristi Walsch and with me as always is Josh Williams.

Josh how you doing all that right yeah looking for this one yeah

the recruitment pods are always good so yeah well you know I got a bit of flack on

on on Twitter this week because I couldn't believe me eyes to be honest I was sort of

you know Liverpool just won the Champions League and people have started already

talking about you know recruitment and new players and you know basically this player is a player Liverpool should sign

that player is a player Liverpool should sign but you know let's face if people do

love transfers and recruitment is a massive

path of what Liverpool has done right over the past three years. So I suppose you

know you mentioned this before Josh in terms of recruitment How important has it been for Liverpool the past couple of years

that they've got it right and how much does this play in the way Liverpool are right now as in one of the best

seems if not the best seem in Europe?

It's evident, it is evident.

It's no coincidence that over the years, Liverpool of the cruises very, what's the word, very randomly, just stupid, stupid signing, stupid,

at the end of the day it's a business.

You've got to run your recruitment as though it's a business and just dedicating

silly amounts of funds to players that you know aren't really sustainable aren't
