Ed with klopp coming out saying we have invested a lot in the past in this team and now he has to work with it, is one of the reasons we are not spending down to FFP and the amount invested last season.

{Ed002's Note - No.}

Reason for no spending LFC6 is because we don’t need mega investment. We finished 1 point off top in Prem and won the CL. We can’t spend every Window like we did last summer mate.

Ed002, would it look positively on us with regards to FFP if we spent nothing this transfer window in respect of large transfer fees etc? (I know we don’t talk money, but it’s interesting to know)

{Ed002's Note - Obviously.}

Ed002, I hope you don't mind me saying but I read all your replies in the voice of the late Alan Rickman's Professor Severus Snape. It makes my day.

OMG, klopp has literally said we can't buy big, so why keep this "we can buy if we want the squad is strong" pretence going. It's starting to go into the realms of "a bit pathetic".

The other big teams haven't been convincing as yet in the market. Spurs have only signed ndombele, far from a guaranteed game changing signing. They could lose alderwield and rose along with trippier 3 of their back 4 over last couple seasons. Chelsea have lost their best player over last decade and have no world class striker. Pulisic not yet proven he's top top class. Utd have signed 2 young players who have only 1 season of experience. Arsenal have yet to strenghten their comical defence and have lost cech Ramsey and probably koscielny, their 3 most experienced PL players. City have signed a good player in rodri but fernandinho has been so important for them that rodri can't be guaranteed an upgrade. They've not replaced kompany and angelino is no better than delph as a LB option.

My point is city have lost their best defender and captain, spurs may lose their best defender and leader, arsenal will likely lose their best defender and captain, Chelsea have lost their best player, United will likely lose their top scorer of last 2 seasons. Sane, pogba, Erickson all important players may need replacing also. So far no team has upgraded their squad with huge conviction.

I expect them to sign more before window shuts but seeing them linked with players like Maguire, sessegnon, zaha, longstaff etc doesn't put big worry in my mind. We have a settled squad with no major outgoings and no clear weak point in strongest 11. I'm very comfortable with this current situation. Recently we've witnessed bakyoko, fred, jorginho, alexi Sanchez, Davison sanchez, aurier, morata. All big money marquee signings expected to improve first team. Many signings turn out as failures and not guaranteed improvement, especially when expected to replace top players.

The likes of kompany koscielny alderwield Ramsey Erickson hazard fernandinho David Silva sane lukaku have been consistent proven important performers over the years in the premier league and if not this year then definitely next year it's highly likely all will have left. Rodri, ndombele, ceballos, pepe, pulisic, Tierney have no experience in England and can't be guaranteed to succeed or improve their team. Each side have yet to improve their weakest areas. Arsenal haven't improved defence, spurs have failed to upgrade full back spots, United still need a top quality CM and CB, city are weakest at LB, Chelsea have not been able to replace hazard or add a top striker. We are in the strongest situation by not having to address any areas, like city last summer.
