They are taking the piss and making themselves very wealthy on the back of LUFC.
They are selling KP and Raph for 2 reasons.
Mainly they want the fees received to spend on incomings. So they either make more profit or it costs them nothing to sign players.

Secondly the players want to leave because although we are a great club realistically we are garbage on the pitch compared to the club's KP and Raph are going to. So they win trophies and don't have work as hard without the ball.

Prudence with finances is fine but if you want to run a big premier League club these days then investing lots of cash is expected.....unless it's us...

Also looking for bargains is ok when it works but all of these players from Austria and the like have a lot of adapting to do. Other clubs buy proven quality most of the time.
