Many fans are divided based on the lack of transfer activity, some beleive we could've maintained a title push had we have invested in the squad , I'm one of those rare people who was fully understanding when Klopp kept the purse tightly shut .

It's a simple stance, no point buying players for the short term.
had we have bought the quality in salah if we had spent on a second rate winger?

I think a perfect solution in this time was more the loan market, we had markovic we could have had back from loan. We could have loaned a player in the time and not risk improper investment in a quick fix.

But ultimately even though FSG fail to flatter atleast we can se that the first and final word is "TRULY" klopp's which is why their are no "panic targets" : meaning targets we are interested in only in the short term .i.e. Konoplyanka

So are people happy with Klopp's Quality or Nothing approach, changing the way we approach transfer market , do you think if Southampton and Leipzig hold firm , we should consider loaning players in to beef up the squad and save money to try again in January for top targets???
or settle and buy second-rate targets in this window and effectively end interest in our top targets ???

I think he's right to an extent in that approach. But if your first target isn't available and you've a gaping hole, it needs filling.

I'm not sure how good Kieta is so can't say if there's as good out there for the same money but I guess there is and the same for VVD. So where you may not get your first choice it doesn't mean you have to compromise on quality.

9 times out of ten it does when it comes to us.


That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

Quality or nothing. The team is at a point where it is decent. big signings like Kieta and VvD will lift the whole team to a new level as opposed to bringing in 5 Gin's(not a bad player)

I'd rather spend big on 2 great players than bring in 5 players who will just rotate in a squad.

I'd rather we loan in players if we are not going to get good upgrades. It just pissing away money to bring in Lovern standard and wasting time to bring in potential and expect them to play in an already decent first 11.

Get the money out and bring in the players. We have the money to do it and it will be better for us in the long run

How many top quality players go on loan though? Is better than wasting money though.

I agree with you the team is crying out for some more serious talent it's a higher risk investing in quality but you have to take calculated risks if you are to progress

I think it is a far higher risk now if we do not try and bring in serious talent. This team is on the edge of being a good team. 2 good additions ie Kieta & VvD who will slot straight in the first 11 and make others up their game. We then need some rotation players for the many games ahead. That will be a decent summer.

If we don't do that then we will struggle for top 4 and most likely see the sales of players like Coutinho. All the top 4-6 team will be bringing in top talent if we don't try and at least bring at least 2 then we are pissing into the wind. Get a few top players in this summer and have a good season a few more in jan or next summer and you have a squad that will be serious league contenders.

Again it's really early days and the club will keep trying the first choice before turning to the next. Should we do it quicker, I don't know, United wanted to sign Morata but signed Lukaku who I think is not better or even worse, but maybe Real was looking for too much money.
