I'm a big Klopp fan and i think he should be here next season regardless of what happens this season but i'm getting a little tired of hearing how we will fill glaring holes in our squad next transfer window.

Last January we desperately needed a left back and a quick attacker, we got neither.

Last summer we got a left back and a quick attacker but we also needed a quality central midfielder and centre back, we got neither.

This January we have signed the central defender and have Keita coming next summer but we now need a creative midfielder to replace Coutinho and its glaringly obvious we need a new goalkeeper, again we will probably get neither.

I have no doubt that we will sign these players in the summer but what other positions will we need to fill? Right back? another CB? another left back? Will we sign these players or will we be told again that the players we want are not available?

I'm not advocating buying for the sake of it or massively overpaying for a player but surely there has to be a happy medium, why are we continually waiting for the next transfer window to fill the glaring holes in our squad?

Perhaps we should go back to the good old days of buying for the sake of it when our primary targets aren't available?

So we persisted and eventually got pur targets in the next window? I suppose we could just go and sign a Caulker-type for each position need.

Seems like our main targets are never available. However, the second, third and sometimes even our fourth choices, over the past season or so, have worked out quite well. Most of them have been in their mid-20s as opposed to buying unproven potential as we did in previous seasons.

Smeg, we could always sign a Markovic or Balotelli to satisfy you, can't we?

I agree with Smeg. If you don’t address your weaknesses then they will be targeted by opponents.

If you can’t sign the requisite players then oh have to adapt your tactics to suit your squad. We should have been playing with a player sitting in front of the back 4 and not joining in with the press.
