Prior to the Brighton game the rumours for players we were linked with especially the Fekir rumour were constant...now it seems with CL secured for next season the rumours are becoming mute.
I've seen a few in the know journo's stating that we are concentrating on Saturdays CL Final and then business will be done?
This years new transfer window dates and The World Cup complicate matters not just for Liverpool but every PL team. Our window of opportunity for bringing in our targets is NOW, not after the CL Final! There'll be ONLY a week after the CL Final when players are with their International teams preparing for The World Cup with friendlies before the Tournament starts on the 14th June.
There is no way International Teams will allow their players to be flitting back and forth on securing their destinations for their potential new domestic teams next season, once they've met up for The World Cup. The Final is on 15th July, then players who've participated will no doubt want a break, which complicates matters for us in leaving it too late because the transfer window closes Aug 9th. If we are in a tug of war with any teams not in the PL whose windows are open until the end of August, we will be left high and dry, a scenario all too familiar under our current regime.
It frustrates me to see this all too familiar scenario where we look like we are on the cusp of a great era. A few quality players to bolster our depth to be set for the new season ahead for once having the ability to really be a contender for that 1st elusive PL Title. Klopp must know what he needs by now and should have given his list to Michael Edwards and Co. FSG have to back Klopp and invest in the squad NOW, leaving it and trying to penny pinch like previous windows will see us just trying to scrape a Top 4 place, going into the season, banking on the same familiar faces of frailty.
