It's up to Klopp to accomodate for those players in the right fashion, so that we get the most out of them and the rest of the squad.

Ideally I would like the lb to rotate on both flanks, so we keep all 3 fullbacks fresh and up & running. The same up top. I don't think there's any use signing a player like Firmino Mk II and put him on the bench. He needs to play regularly. At least 20-25 games a season in all competitions.

What we can/will play the next season is: 38 games in the PL. Max 10 games in CL. Max 6 games in the FA Cup. Max 6 games in the League Cup. Community Shield. UEFA Super Cup and lastly max 2 games in The Club World Championships. So that's a total of max 64 games (min 49 games if we go out as early as possible in all comps).

Rotating 4 players evenly along the front line will mean each of them will play somewhere between 36 and 48 games (3 of 4 games each).

Rotating evenly amongst 3 fullbacks will mean each of them will play somewhere between 32 and 42 games (2 of 3 games each).

Not bad at all that. Even if Klopp doesn't play them exactly evenly, there is a good chance they can pick up at least 30 games, which should be enough to encourage even a top class player to join us.


Sounds good. We have enough to rotate at CB (if we have the bottle to rest VVD) We can certainly rotate midfield as we did last season and look how well that worked. Keita was just finding form and Henderson played brilliantly at the tail end of the season.

One of the keys to rotating will be to get past 16 CL qualification done and dusted from first 4 games.

My jury is still out. They're still making sheeps eyes at the failed moneyball approach, which betrays their real agenda isn't winning things, but moneymaking is their holy grail.

Moneyball philosophy is NOT buying the worlds most expensive players for key positions. Neither is turning down £11m for a player just to see them go on a free the following season like we did with Moreno.

I was hoping FSG's outlay for the last two seasons meant they'd changed but so far, the current transfer window has me worried.

It’s Klopp who has a reluctance to buy not FSG. Not sure why people don’t get that yet?

Yeah, I know. He didn't want to buy VVD, Salah or Alison either.. while wanting to keep hold of Moreno and Karius..... but hey ho


Not sure why some people don't get the fact that Klopp's presented with a team rather than choosing it.... weird init ?

What you said makes no sense. Of course he wanted those players hence why we got them. What a stupid thing to say.

Or are you saying he didn’t and was presented with them? Again, makes zero sense as if that was the case we’d have bought, sorry FSG would have bought, someone else when the shitte hit the fan with VVD and no doubt for a lot less money.

So in summary pretty much all of what you’ve said just then appears to be wrong.

Think the fans dictated the last few windows.... got fed up of signing dross players, so we then signed class... funnily we won a trophy, now is the time to buy...... dont stand still its why we've not won a title in years.. dont see the point of building a bank balance it didnt do arsenal any good
