We became champions material after spending big on VVD and Alisson, 2 areas we all saw we were weak as well as Klopp, however, that became possible only because Barca wanted to buy Coutinho. We all see that we need better than Origi as well as Klopp, this is why he wanted Werner but this time there was no money available though a club like ours after 2 years or record revenues and profits with little player purchases should have 50m, especially when you see how a club like Arsenal can afford.
Yeah definitely a fair observation. We will never really know I guess if say nobody came in for Coutinho for big money whether we would have gone on to invest in VVD and Becker, but they did and we re-invested the money where it was needed... that's good.
I see why people think Origi isn't good enough as a direct replacement for the front 3... agreed, but with Werner I don't know for certain Klopp wanted him? Maybe he doesn't want 5/6 superstar players in one position to try and keep happy. I don't know just hypothesising.
What we have now is a winning side and the important part we do now is rewarding key players and not loosing them to other clubs. If this was Liverpool of a few years ago we would be selling off Mane, Salah, VVD etc.
We haven't even kicked a ball in the new season yet and people are baying for blood.
