Does anyone know what Liverpools budget is at the minute? I know they are only getting £40m or so from Barca now and the rest in payments but just wondering what budget they have to be able to fit in a new striker,Midfielder and two defenders?

A fan will never know the budget of any club, Arsenal's should be about 1billion by now if we believed everything that was in the meda.

I think people are deluding themselves if they think Liverpool are anywhere near running out of transfer funds, even before Barca pay up.
The stadium additions were already paid for before they got the £100m~ from the Epl last season.
( unfortunately) they have nothing to worry about on that score even without considering kit deal / shirt sponsorship money for the forthcoming season etc etc
Right now Im not 100% convinced they are top four material just yet......but they arent totally out of it either

He's making figures up anyway, I assume on the wind up, no one has reported £40m up front and all reports pointed to us waning the entire payment in one go.
Fairly safe to say we have the budget to buy anyone (in reason), whether they'll move or not is another question.

Somewhere in the region of £40m, I suppose.
I'm wondering how much the board would be willing to sanction. I mean if bidding £50m+ for Di Maria means Vidal is out of the question as a result, then no, I'd stand my ground.
IMO DM is the most crucial position to fill, then central defence and then on the wings.

Arsenal pay the majority of there tranfers in cash mate
I'd like to see someone with experience (as Robbo said, Hummels is ideal, despite being only mid-twenties) to come in and add a bit of composure and leadership at the back. I do think all three (Jones/Evans/Smalling) have potential but clearly need someone who is going to bring it out of them somewhat.
If he proves himself a class above the others then I'm sure he'll become first choice. At the moment though I don't consider him anywhere near what Rio/Vidic were at their peak.
I do extend him some sympathy though, he hardly gets played in central defence or for a decent run of games.

DiMaria won't happen he wants to go to PSG but RM apparently prefer to sell to us

They may do but not all at once
I miss the United of old (Giggs/Kanchelskis running the wings) but if LvG thinks we can make do going through the middle then I'm fine with it.
Ideally though I'd like us to have both options available but as above, I don't consider it as crucial as strengthening midfield and defence.
totally agree with you (even pre-boot beckham lol)
Personally I would prefer us to buy someone like Griezmann than pay (what sounds like) best part of £50m on di Maria but hey ho (and if RM think we are going to pay 70m euros they are having a laugh)
I think the papers/websites have us spending £200m on top of what we have already spent - L - at least one centre half (not Vermalaen) and a strong CM
From Google....
If Utd get away with $60m (what , £40m ish) even with Nani added in, thats an absolute steal - Im not convinced at all its going to be that easy
