Liverpool chairman Werner: FSG proved mettle with transfer spending

Liverpool chairman Tom Werner says owners Fenway Sports Group have proved their mettle by spending big in the transfer market since their arrival.

The signing of Newcastle United left-back Jose Enrique for a fee in the region of £6million takes manager Kenny Dalglish's summer spending up to around £50million.

"I don't think anybody is working harder than we are right now to continue to see if we can recruit talent," Werner told the LFC-TV.

"We are willing to spend pounds to upgrade the team and I think that both clubs, both the Boston Red Sox and Liverpool, are blessed with management that is tireless and smart and I think that is the essential ingredient.

"It's been our goal to try to improve our position on the pitch, and to try to create a environment for players to say they want to play in Liverpool and bring some of the lustre that all the fans know back to the club."
