Summer 2017 Transfer Thread

Jurgen Klopp admits Liverpool need to improve their game management – but believes becoming more streetwise isn’t simply a matter of splashing the cash this summer.

 

Klopp singled out the greater experience of Chelsea’s players during key moments of their 1-1 draw at Anfield on Tuesday night.

 

 

The Reds boss saluted the “really clever” David Luiz free-kick that ensured the Londoners remained 10 points clear of Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table, and also hailed “warrior” Diego Costa for his performance.

 

Klopp accepts his squad currently lacks the ability to close out games similar to Chelsea under boss Antonio Conte.

 

But he is confident Liverpool can learn together the mentality that is an accepted quality of almost every successful team.

We're gonna replace the players we sell with younger ones.

 

Lucas, Sakho, Sturridge, Moreno out and 4 in.

 

That's the left back, centre back, midfielder and striker most people want.

 

Possibly a new keeper too.

Well, we're it looks like we're monitoring a goalkeeper...

We have been figured out

Defend deep and we struggle to break teams down,after that wait for a set piece or mistake and youll get a minimum of a point. We have needed a Goalkeeper,CB,LB,DM,CM(playmaker),anda striker for a while and yet still need them.

Firmino doesnt score anywhere enough to lead the line. Its all good having the workrate but fuck me it was Lewandowski who won Dortmund trophies by scoring 30+ a season

I'll tell you one thing for sure about the summer window, we won't do enough and come away underwhelmed. It's the story of these owners.

 

"Just do the bare minimum" is what we should get on the new crest.

 

Be it down to Klopp or the owners in the summer, we won't get the required players in to make enough of a difference to this team.

 

God help us if we get in Europe because we can't even handle a fucking domestic calender without going to bits never mind doing Europe on top.

 

The more I hear Klopp talk the more I have doubts so I don't even watch his interviews anymore.

 

We've been well sussed out and given its been 11 games now since we've been utter shite it doesn't look like anything will be changing anytime soon. Top 8 finish on the cards again.

At least the 'top players wont come to clubs not in the champions league' excuse will be available again.

 

Owners are cunts. Half our squad are cowards. The squad is way to small.

 

The worst part is we knew this before the season started. Chickens coming home to roost now. Klopp must know all of this.

We need six players. Again. 

 

We'll need to spend 100m to even get close to the quality we need. Won't happen under FSG. 

 

Their massively shit plan could end up costing them a shit load of money in the long run.

Then they should sell to China who at least have some ambition to compete. 

 

I agree, but Yanks are stubborn, especially when they believe a profit can still be had. We are just part of their port folio, they don't give a fuck about the club, the fans or the history, only money. Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluding themselves. They will just keep plugging away at their bargain basement hopeful approach in the hope they strike gold, meanwhile the money keeps rolling in via other avenues.

This. Entirely this. 

 

FSG have no desire to gamble on winning the league or competing for top players. They're happy to finish 6th because the domestic and overseas TV money is still so mega that they can live with only occasionally being in the Champions League. 

 

The Champions League is not the holy grail that it was under Moores. Back then, qualifying for it made a big difference to the transfer spend. Not any more. Sadly for FSG, being in the CL is important for the really good players. It's why Gotze turned us down last summer and it's why Ter Stegen wouldn't even talk to us last summer despite Barcelona giving us permission. It's why Coutinho will leave us sooner rather than later. 

 

FSG's model club is Arsenal, a club that does enough to finish 4th every season, without ever seriously threatening to win the league. It's also ironic because Arsenal's supporters are even more disgruntled than ours at their own clubs lack of ambition.

The clues have been supplied by themselves. We have improved in just about every area of the club as far as money making goes, sponsorship, new stand which adds capacity/revenue, wage bill has been lowered, squad thinned out by replacing back up players with hopeful cheap options or kids. Profits in transfer windows despite huge TV/streaming revenue. 

 

We haven't improved much on the pitch despite not having European distraction though, we had hope due to a great start to the season but a thin squad which we have was never going to keep up with the fitness levels Klopp's training and game plan requires, some of us mentioned this earlier in the season, unfortunately it's biting us on the arse now.

 

If things go on like they have then some fans will get on Klopp's back, wrong IMO, that is just letting these charlatan's FSG off the hook, they will just rinse and repeat their shite and probably laugh at the Brit mentality whilst doing so. They've done absolutely fuck all to suggest otherwise, I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if Klopp has to sell at least one of our better players to get any sort of decent kitty come the summer. FSG can fuck off, the sooner the better. CUNTS.
