Andy Jones: 我认为利物浦今夏最重要的任务是确保球员们保持健康,为即将到来的赛季做好充分的准备。球队上赛季的表现令人沮丧,但我们必须从中吸取教训,并为新赛季制定明确的目标。赢得联赛冠军固然重要,但这仅仅是一个开始,我们还需要为未来几年的持续成功做好准备。 我个人认为,球队需要在转会市场上进行一些必要的调整,以增强球队的实力,并为未来几年的竞争做好准备。但与此同时,我们也必须保持财务的稳定性,避免过度支出。 总而言之,利物浦需要在保持财务健康的同时,对球队进行必要的调整,以确保球队的长期竞争力。 Simon Hughes: 我对比赛结果的失望情绪通常会在终场哨响后10分钟内消退。我更关注的是球队整体的表现,而不是单纯的输赢。上赛季利物浦的表现令人失望,球队需要在各个方面进行改进,以提高竞争力。 关于球员合同问题,我认为利物浦需要在球员续约和出售方面做出明智的决定。如果一些球员选择离开,那么俱乐部必须找到合适的替代者,以确保球队的实力不会受到影响。 总的来说,利物浦需要在保持球队实力的同时,谨慎地管理球队的财务状况,避免过度支出。 Tony Evans: 利物浦今夏的转会预算和球队重建将是至关重要的。我们需要评估球队的财务状况,并制定一个合理的转会计划。同时,我们也需要考虑迈克尔·爱德华兹回归对球队的影响,并充分利用他的经验来指导球队的重建工作。 此外,我们需要关注阿恩·斯洛特和理查德·休斯在赢得联赛冠军后所获得的信任和支持。他们的未来发展将对球队的长期发展产生深远的影响。 总而言之,利物浦需要在财务稳定和球队重建之间取得平衡,并为未来的成功奠定坚实的基础。 Chris Weatherspoon: 利物浦虽然上赛季亏损5700万英镑,但这并不意味着他们的财务状况不佳。实际上,利物浦的收入创下历史新高,并且预计本赛季的收入将进一步增长。 利物浦的摊销费用相对较低,这表明他们在球员引进方面保持了谨慎的态度。然而,他们需要在出售球员方面做得更好,以增加收入。 至于利物浦今夏的转会预算,虽然我无法给出确切的数字,但我认为他们有足够的财务空间进行一些重要的引援。但是,他们也需要在财务稳定和球队实力之间取得平衡,避免过度支出。 总的来说,利物浦的财务状况良好,他们有能力在今夏进行一些重要的引援,但必须谨慎行事,避免过度冒险。
