It is the Anfield Rap. It's a 2001 special. It's 2001 week on the Anfield

rap. I'll let you know what that entails. I have got Dave Karush, I've got

Rob Gutman, I've got Dan Morgan to talk about 2001. But before we get fully into 2001, there will be a gutter on Wednesday with Rob Goodman and Rob. The trailing news for the week is Mark Ogden saying

Liverpool have got 50 million to spend for sales

50 million suggests the comments the timing of them suggests it's 50 million total, not including

canate. Was that your reading of it as well? I know you love the ruins of these things.

Yeah it was. So if you read, if you sort of reverse of it, it says that the local possibly started

the summer and assuming Mark's rights and he's an unimpeachable source.

It's 80, that would sort of put our budget at 85 mil plus sales.

And we know from the transfer committee that we've done,

but that would be a healthy starting point which sort of suggests you don't you

don't know whether that got upped because the Champions League qualification or not but

it does suggest that they were prepared to go relatively large because do you look at

Liverpool's possible outs this summer without sort of forensically drilling into

what we might get for Divokaregee but it's not hard to see Liverpool picking up 50 or 60 million in sales, especially if as also rumored,

Nabi Kaita is available for transfer.

You had 60 odd million onto to 85, you got 145 million, okay 35 spent a connot, another

110 million to spend.

That suggests that people might look to do one or two really quite significant signings this summer. I certainly hope so Neil.

I'm sure you do Rob, but I'm sure we all hope so. Dan, you still can't quite work out precisely what the managers want some needs are going to be at this stage of the season.

The managers very much, there's not that much time to speak about it as we got the end of the campaign and he's just disappeared on day one
