Rafael Benitez believes that Liverpool must buy relatively unknown players, train them, and sell them to make a profit and eventually reduce the club's mountain of debt.
The Merseysiders are said to be £245 million in the red, and the Kop boss has already threatened to resign if any stars go on sale during January. Instead, he has put forward a proposal that he believes will benefit the club in the long run.
"We can only buy one or two big, £20m players a year," Benitez said in The Times.
"If we want to have money available, then we have to sell some players.
"We have to sell expensive and buy as cheaply as possible."
Touching on the subject of his blockbuster summer signing, the Spaniard believes that Alberto Aquilani will provide value for money.
"Aquilani fit would be £20-30m," he said.
"We checked with doctors and they said he would be out one, maybe two months.
"We have lost some time, but I signed the player for five years, not five weeks. We needed to take the risk."
