My honest takings on the transfer window.

Sure, there's a couple of players I'd rather we hadn't got. But I'm happy to see we've actually gone in the right direction with offloading some players and getting some sort of fee back, obviously leaving Balotelli and Markovic out.

I'm not particularly trusting in Klopp's eye for a player but I am trusting in his coaching ability, so it's a bit of a who knows situation for this season, but I'm going to enjoy the ride, as I know that's what it will be.

Cheers.

Mane looks class so far, wijnaldum is a strange buy, Karius will be the new number 1, as will matip with lovren, klavan as cover. Didn't see no left back happening at the start, but that aside, I don't think there's much lacking in the team in weeks to come.

not buying a left back is a disaster, we will concede goal after goal, how Klopp didn't make that obvious weakness his first signing is a mystery, no chance on top four, lots of teams will hit us for 2/ 3 goals, as it is now we have let in six goals in 3 games, that tells you that we have a serious problem .

Agree that LB is a position that would have liked to have seen sorted, it was one of the 2 priority positions in my opinion to sort (GK the other obvious one) . However, don't think it is a disaster or that it will result in 2/ 3 goals conceded per game, maybe with a bit of support and training Millie will prove to be an improvement on the position, too early to say, give him time to learn it better.

Own take on the window is that its been mixed, like most not understanding Wijnaldum, Mane looking good and hoping to see Grujic get a chance unlike recent years with some of our transfers. At least there was some strategy to the window after recent years of mismanagement and wasting money, a balancing of the books had to come.

Grujic IMO will prove to be one of the best purchases in the league long term.
