Quality over quantity , that's final !!!!
If it means we can't buy a LB or CMF or ST then so be it!!
Because if we don't get quality we'll end up going around the same merry-go round where we'd want to sell them a year later , so sorting all the problems in one window is only possible if we get quality in each positions, because of the nature of the transfer market and FSG's stuff up with VvD we may have to miss out on strengthening a position or two to pay Southampton 65-75 million instead of 50million, so be it then, we can get loans until January, like others said, we haven't had positions sorted for 10years!! We've bought LB's ( Moreno, konchensky, ..) Midfielders ( Allen, C.adam , aspas, l.alberto ) strikers ( Benteke, Carroll, balotelli, borini) we've strengthened every season , got players that weren't good enough, quality is essential and has been compromised for too long, about time we show some steel and only buy two-three players but quality ,
Sometimes it makes me wonder how people don't realise the bigger picture for LFC, one player like Suarez can lift the whole team to the brink of a title, QUALITY always supersedes quantity!!!!!! United who are much wealthier than us went for a central defender for 30-40m, VVD is not worth 60-75m, no way. I don't hear anybody saying any defender is worth 60 - 75m it's what Klopp's first choice defender has been hiked up to bt his club because of the FSG fu*k up. If we want to give Klopp his first choice signing for that position then we'll have to meet his clubs demands considering the player has only recently signed a long term contract. The point is if we want first choice quality FSG have to stump up the extra cost they've brought on themselves by their silly antics. Otherwise it's drop down in quality and settle for 2nd 3rd or 4th choice FSG style.

I think Ive converted u lumbs being saying that since fsg arrived with there shotgun transfer tactics problem is we have gapping gaps in quality all over the squad now due to neglect in buying quality TCP's for years  [/quote] Converted my arse Sixties,been in limbo for years.

Klopp has to take his fair share of the blame for illegally meeting a player. As much as you want it to be, it's not all on FSG.
Signs my quality is what we need but not at the cost of the whole team. VVD isn't worth anywhere close to what they now want. As vish said, Utd got a CB that is very highly regarded for less than half of that. Paying them now won't show any intent (we'll it might to some) but more like desperation.

Desperation usually sets in after losing out on our primary targets.

Fact is FSG have created this mess with a threadbare squad by design, to keep the bare minimum and at times severly wanting because of their ridiculous penny pinching. However this season transfer fees have gone up dramatically and the squad needs more bodies to cope with the demands of a much bigger schedule of games.
FSG have burned themselves because it's going to cost them considerably more money now to just keep to their status quo!
Let's be honest here, there is no way they are going to sign off on any one player for 70 or 50 million when the squad needs at least 6 new bodies to it! The only way FSG get a 50+ million player will be by part exchanging other players + cash.
I still believe they intend to sell Coutinho because in their eyes he is collateral for more players without them touching the record prem and tv money they've pilfered for the last 2 seasons!

Well this shouldn't need to be said but it looks as though it does; Klopp is a member of the recruitment/ transfer committee, other members include Mike Gordon ( a shareholder and member of the FSG board) and Edwards along with others. The committee is charged and authorised by FSG to conduct it's recruitment/transfer business. The committee meets to agree and prioritise the list of recruitment targets and as is the case with any such committee will allocate various parts of the worth to the various members, with agreed feedback and information communications. If a decision was taken, as it obviously was, to make contact with the player to try and convince him to choose LFC over others, the logical choice by the committee would be for Klopp to do it. Since any member's work is for and on behalf of FSG. It's nonsensical to try and scapegoat any single member if the operation goes wrong, and to be fair to FSG they haven't tried to do that. But you wilkij, have consistently tried to scapegoat Klopp on the assumption that he was on a solo run and not acting as a member of the recruitment committee of which he is an integral part. If FSG aren't trying to hide behind such a patently ridiculous idea, why are you trying to push it?

Desperation usually sets in after losing out on our primary targets. We only lost out as Southampton spat their dummy as theee wasn't going to be a bidding war. We did nothing worse than any other club b does when trying to sign players. You always here the "I spoke to the manager" quotes and "his preferred destination is X" quotes. Just move on to the next target and there will be plenty out there as good for about what we would've got him for anyway. Let's not get mugged by them again and let's try and remember there are more teams in world football than Southampton. Having said that, I still think we'll get him.

If FSG aren't trying to hide behind such a patently ridiculous idea, why are you trying to push it? I'm not trying to scapegoat Klopp at all. I'm merely pointing out that he was an integral part of the "fukk up" which people seem to be glossing over. The whole lot of em cocked it up not just Klopp or FSG. The whole lot (not that anyone really did anything wrong as everything they did goes on everywhere).

Can't you see where it gets you when you keep having to move on from the managers first choice Wilki ffs.
