Ed's, in light of our continued transfer shenanigans and our inevitable transfer ban. Do you think we will get a director of football someday? Who would make that decision and would you support it? I for one would be very happy especially if they oversaw all transfers because klopp seems to be clueless. How one goes into a season with the defense we had last year is mind boggling. And, this season, not making it a top priority (I say this since we have signed a forward winger and are looking at a midfielder) is.

{Ed002's Note - No ban will come without complaints but with one sat on file with the PL and RBL getting pissed off more could follow. Liverpool recently appointed someone in to that position (Sporting Director) but decided on someone with what I consider inappropriate experience. However, Liverpool has revamped in the past three years from top to bottom but yet Klopp is still getting an easy ride and the transfer windows are far from successful and they should get a proper Director of Football in (not taking the advice of anyone who suggests Damien Comolli would be a good idea).}

I don't understand how fans can be so negative on signings before the season starts or the window shuts! We have not even returned to pre season training and you are calling the window a failure? How do you know if Klopp has prioritised signings in order or is it that some deals take longer to work through than others?

I'm going based on the last three windows where we have had issues that continually do not get addressed. We also know our areas of weakness (lb, cb, rb) and none of our links have anything to do with these or we've completely botched (vvd) . You can make the argument that everything is being kept quiet and Messiah klopp is working behind he scenes, but that would be counter to everything we've seen this far. Nothing is kept secret. So pending a major reversal, yes this window will be a failure if we do not address our most critical issues. Midfield (keita) shouldn't even be a priority right now (unless we know coutinho is leaving or Henderson is done) vvd for 70 million is laughable. And we seem to have very speculative. links to a lb or rb, let alone one that is fitting of a team trying to compete in the champions league or win the league, or even stay in top 4. Don get me wrong, klopp is a likable character, but he definitely has his failings and transfers are one of his. And transfers are pretty critical.
