"with an improvement in the fitness of his centre-backs leaving January loanee Steven Caulker an unnecessary addition.

"Now we have too many centre-halves, " admitted Klopp. "
And the eds were right all along!

Not really. At one point I think we had one fit centre back. Easy with hindsight.

{Ed001's Note - not when we signed him we didn't, as they were all on their way back, so it was easy to see at the time. It was a stupid idea to loan a drunken lazy donkey in on the strength of his work in the youth teams many years ago.}

he makes torben piechnik look like franz beckenbuer, a truly bizzare signing no matter which way you spin it.

One of the biggest mistakes made by Klopp in his short tenure so far, right up there with Migs' new 5 year contract. Hopefully he learns from this, the club has wasted enough money.

Only a loan, the mistake is mitigated.

I feel Migs' new contract is only a caveat to get a decent fee for him? Only a thought.

No, it is not, Ron. We are wasting money on his stupid wages that was not needed. The guy is on 90k a week. A guy that poor at on those wages? Nothing will mitigate that. It was a mistake but understand why he did it. Nevertheless, a huge mistake that will be corrected.

It's not that huge a mistake in relative terms.
90k for 5 months is £1.8 million. We have wasted a lot more on a lot worse.

He's started one game at centre back as far as I can remember, even in the 'crisis', his greatest contribution came up front against Arsenal.

I would not mind 90k a week to stay away from the 1st team, in fact I would do it for 60k, its a waste of £1.8million simply because he was not needed.

Nothing compared to Aquilani, Keane, Carroll etc.

Klopp didn't organise Migs' new deal, the club were already working on it and just gave it the all clear.

I very much doubt a QPR player would be on 90k a week. If he was on that in the prem he would have had his wages halved upon relegation to the Championship.

Ed001 if i hadnt read the rest of the thread your reply could quite easily have been about milan and loaning balloteli i'm sure on some random ac milan rumours page there's a few said something very similar regarding mario maybe not the drunken or swap youth team work for youth potential its apt for both in fact the majority of our loans move a few words about it could be the stock answer for the majority of loan signings i just took a look back at some of the loan signings made over the last 25 years there has been some stinkers mark gayle cissoko moses daniele padelli must be some of the worst.

{Ed001's Note - personally I would scrap the loan system altogether.}

when qpr was in the championship the last time there wage bill was higher than ac milans and athletico madrids i'm sure i read it only dropped 3 million when they was relegated to the championship in 2013.

there was some crazy signings and wages being paid at qpr mainz, also nick, klopp had the power to veto the migs deal, I like klopp but in this case he made a mistake, nothing wrong in saying so, it was not like his contract was about to run out.
