Tottenham's signings in 2005[/caption]
Since the end of last season, Liverpool have signed James Milner, Roberto Ferminio, Danny Ings, Nathaniel Clyne, Joe Gomez and Christian Benteke, overhauling their squad following a disappointing campaign.
Comolli, who worked for Liverpool between 2010 and 2012, leaving just before Brendan Rodgers' appointment as manager, says attempting to make so many changes to a squad, so quickly, carries significant risk.
"I thought it was a huge risk last year after selling Suarez and bringing in, I think, nine players. Now they have decided to change a lot again and totally rebuild. That is always a massive, massive risk." "Liverpool have bought in players who have got talent, but they are going to compete against some very settled teams. "Arsenal, United, City and Chelsea are making some very subtle adjustments to their squad and, on the other hand, Liverpool are changing everything every year. I'm not convinced it is the right approach. "When you gamble as much money as they did last summer, you have got to give players a chance, and changing everything again sends the message to the players brought in last summer that they will not get a chance. "By the time everyone settles into the team, and the players coming from abroad get used to the Premier League, they might be well behind fourth place."Does Comolli have a point? How big of a risk is it to overhaul their squad again so soon after last season? Or was the bigger risk starting the season with Rickie Lambert and Mario Balotelli as your only fit strikers?
