KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Klopp Has Spoken - Its Official

“You see the situation (needing replacements at this stage), it's tight, it's close, we know that, but if the right decision is not possible in signing the right player, then you cannot make the wrong transfer.

“It is not as if there are 20 players out there who could make this team stronger, who are running around and are available. That is the situation.

“That is why I say we know the situation, we are prepared to move, but for the right player. We are not the only side who can decide the outcome of that. The other club (the selling club) makes the decision too.”

Thank you mighty. This might stop the hysteria on here now.

Yeah great Klopps a philosopher... I expect Donnarumma,Bonucci, and Messi by the end of the month otherwise it'll prove Klopp is clueless.

Nah. This place thrives on it, and don't some of us just LUV responding accordingly ey?

Good luck with that one!

Do you really think that Klopp isn't investigating every possible avenue for players?

Disecting what Klopp says about the right player being available leads to to the following understanding:

- Klopp has identified some players but they are not available
- Given that every player has a price, why are they not available?
- Either Klopp is not prepared to pay the asking price or FSG are not prepared to pay it
- What will change in the summer? Are they expecting prices to go down? i.e. that the clubs will release the players at an agreeable price. But all the other clubs will be shopping in the summer too so won't that cause a problem?
- If the players you want are not avaialble does it not mean you're shopping in the wrong market? Shouldn't you be looking for the best options from the ones that are available?

I hear every year that January is difficult and that the Summer window provides more options and more value. Then when summer comes, we can never secure our intended targets because they get better offers from elsewhere. One year we waited and waited.... and then at the very end they told us that Sakho was our marquee signing lol

I've always thought that when we can't compete directly with those with bigger pockets, we have to compete by being smarter. And one option is to use the Jan window really well. Suarez and Coutinho were both Jan signings.

Anyway, I've had my say on this subject... and Klopp has spoken. I will now just try to enjoy each game in isolataion one at a time and see where it leads us.

Saying "but for the right player" is a calculated F**K O**!

And you mention Tom Carol. I'm sure you'd have been over the moon if we'd signed someone of his calibre?

Just sign someone, anyone, even re-sign Balotelli as long as this madness ends.
