He was asking the question to be fair not saying it was overspending. I think it's a good signing though, I'm not a L'Pool fan but I'm a little disappointed for Henderson, I think I'm in the minority but I really rate him and I don't see where he fits in now.

I rate Henderson too. He'll stay here. Think it will be Adam and Spearing who move on.

The Guardian reports we're still Sahin and Dempsey.

Is ANYBODY you ever sign or are linked with anything less than world class?

FWIW i think Scott Sinclair is better but time will tell. The Allen deal has a feel of a Henderson about it, too much for very little. But that's just my opinon of course.

Hate to hark back to it, but if Woy had been chasing Swansea players you'd be burning effigies by now

Liverpool fans greet every signing the same...with their pants round their ankles...

Just because your small club doesn't spend, there's no need for jealousy

Is this the 'small club' you finished below in the league last season???....

Money can't buy you love..

4 lad, 4!

Do they? Maybe you don't see what I see as a fan, but I can't really remember us ever signing a player who every fan liked, it's part and parcel of being a supporter. I remember people saying we should have gone for Darren Bent over Torres. I don't think you've seen me rave over any of our recent signings, largely because nothing has inspired me but today's signing seems to make a lot of sense for Rodgers. Like Rafa when he brought Alonso with him (not comparing them as players but as signings), if Allen is seen as pivotal to the style/a key player to get things going, then investing a little bit extra for a player like that clearly makes sense for a new manager.

I never watched much of Swansea or 'Team GB', so I can't testify to know an awful lot about him. My mates (United fans) say he's a good player who's good at passing, that's about as good as it gets for me.

Footballers aren't overworked though are they really?. Train for what 3 hours a day..play two maybe times a week.

People are now starting to question whether they are really worth their wages at the highest level (like they do with people in high paid industry jobs),also they have no respect to officials and won nothing internationally since 1966.

Joe Allen for £15 million...Superb. That's the type of signing that will keep you out of the champions league. Not a bad little player to be fair but probably worth about £3 million. £15 million....awesome.

A United fan calling a team for overspending, deary me.

Berba £30M
Carrick £18M
Ferdinand £27M
De Gea £20M
