I don't understand the criticism that we are placing on the club regarding transfers. The window is not even open yet and we have signed a goalkeeper, a centre back and a central midfielder as well as having a bid pending on Poitr Zielinski and are actively pursuing Ben Chilwell and Saido Mane. Jurgen Klopp will need to see what we have at our disposal regarding players returning from loans and which players need to be replaced. Adam Bogdan, Martin Skrtel, Joe Allen and Mario Balotelli seemed to be nailed on departures if we can find a buyer at an acceptable offer as well as making other members of our squad available for transfer. We have a bloated squad and need to reduce this to amend our financial availability and proving to potential signings that they will be getting playing time. The likelihood of signing a top quality player this summer is slim to not having European football and many top agents unhappy with the referendum result. Until September 1st we need to take all of this into account before criticising the club.

I think the criticism may stem from the fact that, other than Mane, the players we've been linked with are basically unknowns, and don't really excite.

{Ed002's Note - You mean they are not "marquee" signings?}

I agree totally. I hate the term marquee signings as its instantly puts unwanted pressure on the player to perform as fans think they should be winning games singlehandedly. Mane has been hung out to dry by our so called fans (the same that ostracised Origi before he had even kicked a ball) . I like Mane and if he signs along with whoever else I will support them. Just because they aren't a big name (or Reus) doesn't mean they aren't worthy of playing for Liverpool. I hope he proves people wrong.

Acrock I think Mane is a good signing, but if we're talking 'marquee signings', those types of player should thrive on the pressure, and would have confidence in their ability to go out and do the business. Look at Bale. He's carried Wales through the qualification rounds, and now he's doing it again in the tournament itself. Does it look like he's feeling the pressure? There's nothing wrong with marquee signings. I'd rather pay top dollar for proven quality, than take a chance on an unknown.
