While other teams are off trying to sign players like aubameyang and ibrahimovic we are linked with some player playing for midtable championship team.
Thats the FSG way.
Every season teams above and around us sign expensive players and we always seem to say this is going to be the most competitive season ever.
But if we focus on our ourselves and believe in Klopp, the recruitment team and our existing players we can achieve top 4 no matter what the competition around us is like. We've got a brilliant opportunity this season coming up and the transfer window isn't even open give our owners and everyone a chance.
Normally id agree with that statement but with the calibre of managers at other clubs i can only see them buying top quality players. Chelsea, utd, city and spurs all will buy quality, even west ham tried to buy lacazatte.
Even Everton will spend more money than us. Im sick of scrapping the bottom of the barrel everytime. The step up from championship to premiership is colossal. So all this he was in team of the year doesnt really mean much tbh. I hope we dont sign him if im honest.
It's only a link, the chances of him signing for us are slim.
Mourinho crumbled last season and he is a top manager. The more players the top teams bring in, especially foreign ones, the longer the settling in process will be and it will have a bigger detriment on their team.
It's unlikely we would sign any player participating in Euro 2016 or Copa America right now and that's where a lot of the top players are. Klopp said he has got his shortlist of players he wants so the fact that everything has been quiet on the transfer front is surely a good thing?
