In fairness to the Merseyside club, their spending was not all from their new foreign investment, with the Fernando Torres’ deal to Chelsea worth £50million in January and the likes of Raul Meireles, Christian Poulsen and David Ngog fetching slightly more than they are worth this summer, reinvested money was key to the big name signings coming in.
Having not had a proper pre-season, Bellamy is now fit and looking sharp for Liverpool, mainly used as a substitute it is surely a matter of time before he pushes the overrated Henderson, Downing and Carroll down the pecking order and himself into the first team in the Premier League.
It may be tough for Dalglish to drop one of his £16million or £20million signings this summer, but a player such as Bellamy can win games for his side and has already looked impressive in his few substitute league appearances and cup starts for the Reds.
It may take time for my thoughts to come to view but if someone offered me the chance to sign Bellamy for free, or any of the other transfer deals Liverpool have done this summer, there would only be one choice. The other money could have been spent more wisely than it was, but it was there to spend and Dalglish did not choke when it came to gambling on a player which has to be admired and something that Arsenal fans may wish happened sooner at the Emirates.
Signing of the season? Perhaps not, but given time this could be a fantastic deal for the club and the player alike to put themselves back on the map in the English game and for Liverpool to break back into the European places, which is a real possibility this season.

Good luck BELLAMY
signing of the season = Jose Enrique
WORTH EVERY PENNY!
i agree with Jeetan Enrique is our signing of the season he’s worth every penny and alot more. He has established hiself as a fan favourite in the little time hes been at the club and will futher improve and soon be selected in the Spain national team since thats probly the only spot they lack in, and his price will surely rise and i wouldn’t be suprised if Barce come in for him in a season or 2 lets hope not, he could be a legend for us
