What if the plans, whatever they are, can't be brought forward? Who's to say if they are it'd make any difference anyway?
It just seems to me that people are only interested in signing players regardless of anything else. We've been great this season when no one expected it and still right up there in the fight for top 4 which was probably this season's aim. I still don't see why we can't continue that fight after this loss of form.
As we discussed earlier, it's about taking a gamble sometimes. I can see only a few reasons why plans can't be brough foreward: 1. lack of funds 2.lack of desire - Maybe Klopp doesn't want to sign anyone. 3.lack of available options. None of us know which one it is... but I would have thought that a club of our standing, in terms of prestige and finances, should be able to make a move if the situation demanded it.
Our target may have been to fight for 4th at the start of the season but given where we found ourselves at halfway, given that other teams were struggling and still have european football to contend with, shouldn't we then revise our target midseason and invest in order to consolidate our position?
He ho hesitates generally loses. I don't think the two Manchester clubs will stand still over the summer. they will again outspend us. The opportunity is there now to put them under more pressuer whilst they are struggling.
I don't think we want signings just for the sake of it. We can all see certain areas that need addressing. Whatever happens, I agree - we can still fight for the rest of the season. But if we fade slightly it will feel like a missed opportunity.
