Hi guys! I'm sure I'm not the only one who's slightly disappointed with who we are apparently linked with signing. Obviously we cannot compete with the likes of city and united financially, but I sense we seem to be lacking some form of ambition in our targets. Although I'm totally behind Klopp, as a fan, I can't help but question some of linked players. I mean Mane. another Southampton player?! I just hope this won't be another disappointing transfer market for the mighty reds! Although we clearly need to offload some players, ED's can you give insight as to why we let Kolo go? I thought he had a great spell towards the end of the season, and with such a young team, he would have provided valuable experience!
Thanks!

Probably best to reserve judgement for the players we actually buy rather than the ones we are 'linked' with. Gaston Ramirez, Conor Wickham, Ole Toivenan, etc. Every transfer seasons the same.

I don't get everyone being pessimistic about the players we are linked with, some of our best players in recent times made their big step up at Liverpool (Alonso for example) . Pretty much all of Klopps players at Dortmund who everyone considers world class were anything but before he brought them and gave them their chance. In 3 years we might well be being bitter about Karius or Zielinski (if he comes) if they decide they want to move to the Barcas or Bayerns of this world after stepping up like Suarez and possibly Coutinho did. If we want immediate results we should have tried to get a different manager in like mourinho who builds quality squads quickly but don't last long at any club. Otherwise I think we should let Klopp get on with trying to get his targets and in a few years time we might be looking at signing 1 or 2 'marquee' players when the rest of the squad is at a sufficient standard for how Klopp wants the squad to work.

First of, I'd like to say I'd be happy with the signings Klopp makes.
But, I am also dissapointed when we lose players we brought in and "improved" or "nurtured" into better players. Then seeing them move to bigger clubs.
So, this leads me to ask this: maybe we shouldn't bring in the players that are looking to improve and get noticed at Liverpool, maybe we should bring in players that are on a good level, but are not going to end up at/ back at bigger clubs. A player like Sanchez made the move to Barcalona, so there's little chance he would move back there now from Arsenal.
I really feel that the possition we in now, has a lot to do with us losing our best players at crucial times.
We tend to look to build around our star player, then we lose them. And we have to start all over again.
I think its now more crucial to look to keep the star player.

Just get the right player. Ya don't wanna overthink it too much and be presumptious. Important to have a vision and then a plan to deliver on it. Ours is about being self-sustainable.

If the likes of Barcelona and bayern are sniffing round our players 3 years after we sign them then I'm happy with that as it means they have been playing brilliantly for us and we are going to get a good price for them if they go.
It's when lower league clubs are sniffing round you have to worry about your transfer policy.

We have the financial muscle less than that of city united etc, but if last three seasons are anything to tell, we can buy that big player if klopp were to say i want this and this big dollar player. people need to realise klopp is not that sort of manager and unless it is a player he feels will justify the tag he won't buy it. So forget established big money signings. Klopp doesn't do them. we need to stop with this and accept we are at best a top 4 club. klopp would require another season to get his stamp on the team, so chill and let this season get out. if you are expecting wonders i am sorry it is not happening. i say save money and invest next season because this season every big club in europe wants to sign players. there is going to be massive money and a hell lot of transfers this season and unfortunately for us, being the position we are in, all good players will have a better option on the table than us.
Add to it the woes Ed002 has explained on numerous occassions with out dealings and general behavior in the market. it is best to lower our expectations and sit this window just watching around. we have added a defender a midfielder and a much required keeper already. All we need is a winger now, buy that and close shop. Train and practice hard, get the team gelled and ready come august to reach top 3/ 4.
Also next season based on what i have read here owners will probably look to sell and new owners will mean new business model which may get us out of the bad market reputation we have right now. If football is a business which well we all know it is, having a bad reputation is the death of a business. Owners are looking to sell and i think that will help us out.
dont get me wrong FSG have been good owners and they have done their bit, but i think a change is required and probably FSG is also looking to move forward. So I think this season its imperative to reach top4 atleast which this team can do.
I know well most would disagree because without good players and other 4 teams massively strengthening and likes of tottenaham and westham arguably better than us its going to be tough. but if we invest and still fail it might be a difficult proposition for us three seasons in a row. it might harm us a lot more. i think our clubs future lies with another owners. FSG for all their good and bad, mostly good would look to cash in next season.
