KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Only 1 reason for no CB

And that hunting only resulted in one player for CB? We could easily have bought one better than what we have and still get VVD in January or next summer.

I'm happy for him to wait for Van Dijk but to leave us short st the back like that is beyond stupid.

The guy spurs signed is pretty highly rated yet we showed no interest ?

That Sanchez from Ajax?
I saw him play last season. He is highly rated simply because of his physical tools. However, he is way too raw to be a decent CB in EPL. If you have watched him more games, you would know how often he was caught in out of position and forced making unnecessary tackles.

To me, Klopp is not just a manager and he is also a coach and motivator.
He mentioned a few times during this transfer windows, he would only go for the best players. If he cant get what he wants, he prefers to train up the ones that he already have.
He put high emphasis on training and he (me as well) definitely sees some potential in gomes. That's why we dont go around and buying some second tier centre back. Don't forget this summer the transfer window went crazy and even a second tier centre back may cost you over 30M which is a lot in our budget.

I think that is why we didnt go for another centre back. Also, this Klopp approach helps him to motivate the youngsters to train harder to get into the first team.

P.S. See our CL squad and you would know that our squad is actually quite full and we lack of self-trained players to fill up the squad. Therefore, we only go for those really good players now and we also need to train up the players of our own. To train up a defenders is always easier than an attackers. That's why we are more willing to pay for an attackers than a defender.

The only conclusion to the transfer charade is that the scouts and recruitment staff are useless and Jurgen has learned the hard way.

What I can't understand is that he should have figured this out from the get-go. Surely when you plan to bring a famous club back to the top (sic) a major part of the plan is to instigate a wizz-bang recruitment programme! Surely.
