Liverpool's spend, or perceived lack of, has been the cause of considerable ire among some supporters this past summer.
While the club opted to make a move on Darwin Nunez in a deal worth as much as £85m in the future, a club record, the lack of other big money additions, most notably in midfield, meant that blame for the slow start the Reds have made didn't take too long to reach the door of owners Fenway Sports Group.
The net spend at the end of the summer window, when taking into account the guaranteed sums paid for players, saw Liverpool have the fifth lowest in the Premier League. The purchases of Nunez, Calvin Ramsay and Fabio Carvalho were offset in no small part by the sales of the likes of Neco Williams, Sadio Mane, Marko Grujic and Takumi Minamino as Liverpool posted an £8.64m net spend for the window.
