Henry transfer policy focuses on long-term gain

LIVERPOOL owner John Henry has publicly laid down a marker for the club’s transfer policy by confirming the plan is to build for long-term success and not spend purely for instant gains.

The Reds have been linked with a long list of names ever since Fenway Sports Group bought the club in October.

However, FSG have always intimated they wanted to implement a strategy similar to the one they used successfully with their baseball team, the Boston Red Sox, acquiring younger players with potential who will have a greater re-sale value.
