Klopp today on transfers…
Jurgen Klopp explains summer transfers – and whether Liverpool were offered Coutinho
August 8, 2019 at 3:59 pm #1772666Klopp has made a big call, even a gamble, this summer by not signing any senior players (except the Adrian swap). Let’s wait and see if he’s right, and if Liverpool can win the league with this squad.
But it’s going to be tough, because our backup attack is Origi, Shaqiri and the unproven Brewster, while City have Sane, Jesus and Mahrez – a huge gulf in class here. Also all the other top 6 clubs have strengthened, with City spending over £100m on just 2 players.
That’s why I find it totally unbelievable that some fans (Ginger, threeps etc.) think it would be a problem to sign a top attacker/playmaker of similar quality to our front 3, to compete with, and complement them. Yet such a player would increase our chances of winning the league without damaging team morale – I hopw we sign such an elite player within a year.
For now, we can deploy hungry players like Keita, Shaqiri and Ox to give an extra threat to our front 3, and hopefully deliver success in the league.
Let’s hope this happens
August 8, 2019 at 4:01 pm #1772667Davinci “Anyway, I have to agree with …errrrr….whichever one was saying that we needed to have strengthened”
From your condescending tone, I can see you’re still reeling, from seeing Henderson majestically lift the biggest trophy in club football, an honour reserved for only the best captains in world football – yet you slagged him off mercilesssly for most of last season.
At least we agree that Liverpool should definitely have strengthened this summer, like all the other top 6. Most importantly, we should have bought a top attacker or playmaker of the highest quality. This is someone I hope we buy within a year.
City have now spent over £600m more in net spend than Liverpool since 2014 and it will take a miracle for any team to overcome them. Klopp has to find a way to do it with the current squad, good luck to him
August 8, 2019 at 4:08 pm #1772675It’s not so much that I have a problem with another player of the same quality or better than the front 3 joining.
It’s that it’s unrealistic and undeliverable for the many reasons that’s been set out.August 8, 2019 at 4:20 pm #1772687That’s kinda funny ginger because that’s the kind of player Klopp wants… He wants the kind of player that can break into the first team instead of the bench…
If we buy a player for the bench that player would block the way for the likes of Brewster and any future signing.
August 8, 2019 at 4:22 pm #1772690“That’s kinda funny ginger because that’s the kind of player Klopp wants… He wants the kind of player that can break into the first team instead of the bench…”
You’ve absolutely no way of knowing that.
August 8, 2019 at 4:30 pm #1772694As i said a few weeks ago.. its been a shit window
August 8, 2019 at 4:33 pm #1772696Klopp uses silly excuses and nobody beleives him!
August 8, 2019 at 4:58 pm #1772722redsforever, it was always going to be a crappy window… If Milner would have left for Leeds, I would have imagined us buying a replacement but since he is still here we dont have to… If Lovren would have gone to Italy we would have bought a replacement but he is still here… Brewster comes in for Sturridge and the only spot left to fill then is the leftback position but it seems like Klopp is going to use Larouci there.
August 8, 2019 at 5:26 pm #1772749Well that’s the window closed for the summer. Other European clubs can still do business for a coupla weeks yet. Who knows who could become available.
Have to say I’m disappointed that we havnt signing another forward closer in quality to our usual front 3.
With the amount of games we have to play and at the level of performance we need to play at we really could have done with an addition.
I really hope we havnt failed to capitalise on our CL success and great league performances last season. We have history of this.Nothing can be changed now so it’s on to the Norwich game.
August 8, 2019 at 6:08 pm #1772793finally the silly season is behind us!
August 8, 2019 at 6:18 pm #1772803Songman you are still, despite numerous attempts to explain, missing the point. I would love us to sign a player of Mane or Salah,s class to compete with them, but you know what? They wont come! If it’s not sinking in scroll back and read the bit I pasted in from France Football and Pepe and his reservations about playing time.
Top players wont come to be back up, and every player on the planet bar Messi, Ronaldo and maybe Mbappe would be back up to Mane and Salah.
I find it unbelievable you still dont get it!
And if they will come, why haven’t they? Without wanting to sound like ome who like to tell people I told you so, but I did tell you so didnt I?!
August 8, 2019 at 6:52 pm #1772833Feeling a bit better about our lack of transfer window activity now that it’s clear that our top 6 rivals haven’t pulled off any spectacular deals either. Yes, would have liked to have seen the arrival of a creative midfielder such as Dybala, Coutinho, Fernandes or Eriksen; but second best result is that none of our rivals have picked them up either. (OK, Spurs still have Eriksen, but I suspect that he will be gone by the time that the continental window closes. So, it is what it is, so please step forward (from last season’s regulars) Oxlade-Chamberlain, Lallana, Shaqiri, Origi and Brewster.
August 8, 2019 at 7:08 pm #1772850I suppose City havnt replaced Kompany although I suspect Walker might be used there. Sane is now out with ACL. Rhodri has come in to rotate/replace Fernandinho as he’s getting older and picking up more injuries. And they’ve went 1 in 1 out with their fullbacks. Not sure how much they’ve actually strengthened.
August 8, 2019 at 7:24 pm #1772860Ginger… I do have a clue about it, it’s what Klopp has been stating for the last 6 months or so…. Its always a good idea to read what the manager has to say about our transfer dealings
August 8, 2019 at 7:40 pm #1772866Earlier today you said…
“Especially when Klopp has stated numerous times that we do not have the finances to buy the targets he wants.”
And now your saying that Klopp has said he only wants players for the first team and not bench players.
That’s 2 specific things; we don’t be have the money and he only wants first team players.
Can you provide links to where Klopp has said these things this summer.
August 8, 2019 at 7:42 pm #1772867The only player I’m disappointed in not getting is Sessegnon… and of course Felix, who is going to become a household name…
August 8, 2019 at 7:45 pm #1772869Read his interviews… for fucks sake mate… it’s not that hard to Google it. He has gone on record numerous times about what kinda of special player he wants.
He has also stated numerous times how happy he is with his squad and that he is delighted to have the core from last season intact.
Do you only read the tabloids mate or what?
August 8, 2019 at 7:49 pm #1772871“He has also stated numerous times how happy he is with his squad and that he is delighted to have the core from last season intact.”
He has most definitely said this.
But that is nowhere near the same as him saying we don’t have the finances and that he only wants first team players.If it’s all over google and has been all over the media it shouldn’t be too hard to present a few examples via links then.
August 8, 2019 at 9:08 pm #1772920Tell me what got Pep so riled up after the charity shield..? Klopp talking about having to pay the bills perhaps…
And how often have we heard Klopp state that he only wants special players that fit in with the squad in the last month or so… and that those players cost silly money…
I’m pretty sure that the talent Klopp is looking at is a step above what you guys wanted.
Mate I don’t care if you believe me or not, it says more about you than me if you cant remember the numerous interviews Klopp has given in the last six months about transfers etc. -
