Klopp: It makes no sense to add more players to the squad

[stringvest]

News?  All I got was my new LFC water bottle and an email telling me that all my applications for home match tickets had failed in the ballot.

He is talking about the Sonos deal.

It's not worth the effort, is it?

 

You'll beat me with experience.

Fans mostly get shit wrong but it seems whenever there's a consensus we are short somewhere it nearly always reveals itself to be true. Some are concerned about the midfield because we have so many players there that are prone to injury its like we specifically seek it as an attribute but for me we desperately need a clinical finisher it doesn't have to be some fancy name but a player you think with the service we can provide would bury their chances but who the fuck is that. We generally need more goals from someone other than Salah.

You arent wrong, but there is nothing easier as a supporter than saying: "get rid of x, y and z and sign x y and z". I also did it at the beginning of the summer with Keita and with wanting to replace him. The reality is that the club and Klopp have invested in Keita and Ox and we wont give up on them because they pick up injuries. You cant just eliminate them as options and just add numbers on top of them because you think they will get injured. 

 

The forward position is different, I agree we should get someone in.

He's also banking on Jones, and to a lesser degree Elliott. If he brings in another midfielder, it's saying they're not good enough.

Please. His English is fine. He doesn’t get to classify who a “real fan” is because we’re not all swinging from the chandeliers about resigning players we already have while our rivals all sign proper difference makers.

English is still his 2nd language and it's clear to most people he still doesnt translate exactly what he wants with some words all the time.

 

He isnt getting to 'classify who is a real fan,' if you think he is then I despair.

I think you do give up on Keita when only thing you can count on is that you can’t count on him. How many fucking years is it going to take for the penny to drop? That Madrid game should have been the last straw, yet today you hear the manager talk about how we would find another midfielder more creative than Naby. Fuckssake, he’s not even that good. And what’s the point of his creativity if he’s never on the pitch.

So what did he mean?

The bit in bold has a bit of attitude about it...

 

KLOPP DEFENDS LIVERPOOL TRANSFER POLICY 

 

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has launched a staunch defence of the club’s transfer policy in the wake of their top-four rivals each spending upwards of £75million this summer.

 

“We cannot spend money we don’t have. We cannot, the others can but we can’t. That’s my information,” he said ahead of the season-opener at Norwich. 

 

“Chelsea are not hiding their ambitions, Man United isn’t, City isn’t. We don’t want to hide our ambitions because we want to fight for everything and in this moment it will be a massive fight. 

 

“When the pandemic started and no-one knew how long it would be it was a difficult time for everyone, for football clubs as well. That is probably the reason why you ask me now if I’m surprised (about the spending). 

 

“These clubs don’t depend on these kind of things I think. We all know the situation of Chelsea, the situation of City, and we all know the situation of PSG (Paris St Germain), for example. What United is doing I don’t know exactly how they do it. We have, obviously, our way to do it.

 

“I’m never surprised about the financial power of Chelsea, City or United. I am long enough in the country to know they always find a solution to do these kind of things. 

 

“You cannot compare to the other clubs, they obviously don’t have any limits but we have limits and we were quite successful given the limits in the last two years. 

 

“That is what we should try again and not use it as an excuse that if we do not win a game we say it was because we didn’t sign him or him. That will not be the case.”

Thiago was Lovrens replacement, the idea being we can strengthen midfield and have fab as backup CB in the unlikely event that Virgil, gomez and Matip all get injured. That unlikely event ended up happening and almost fucked us, so we brought in Konate as Lovrens replacement instead.

He gets questions every season to the tune of; "hey look how much x team is spending, what do you think about that"? I'm sure it gets annoying pointing out the obvious that City and Chelsea are cunts and that United are a commercial behemoth.

[TD_LFC]

In the actual press conference the only one he seemed confused by was Utd, he initially dismissed them when they were included in a question and replaced them with PSG.

 

 

[Daisy]

He didn't mention Arsenal, Villa or Leciester

[coachpotato]

Or our dear neighbours.

Bit naughty of Jurgen that with the real fan line.

You're wasting your time.

 

It's clear that FSG didn't offer Gini what he deserved and had the audacity to prevent Klopp from replacing him.

 

Konate is a just a £35mil decoy to fool the "real fans".

I specifically mentioned the bold bit.

 

The bit where he says "that's the information I have".

 

What sort of cunt says that if he's not pissed off about something?

 

Alignment to the board would sound more like: "we don't need to spend money because we have what we need."

You'd hope it's a dig at the toxic breed of support that manifests on twitter where everything is won or lost based on 'banter' and who you or your rivals sign.

 

The kind of pleb that will post under a journalists story about racism or some other serious matter 'Announce X'.
