Why didn't we up our bid for Lemar if price was the sticking point? Why didnt we let Coutinho leave if Klopp doesn't want him around if he's not 100% dedicated? City spend 200M+ every window. This is what we have to compete with. We should have had 200M+ net spend this window, 350M+ with Coutinho leaving. If Klopp wants a player and we haven't got a backup, price is no issue - we should keep bidding until our targets sign. Neymar to PSG proved every player has his price.
According to the latest internet "ITK" cobblers we weren't even in for Lemar.
If you believe that sh*te, it all came from their side and was a bit of mischief making.
The only player we know for sure that Klopp wanted was VvD.
So, the question is to Klopp; why were there no other targets?
Not that I think he needs to explain himself btw, but I AM curious.
This is the reason I don't get into all the rumours and twitter sh*t; you just can't believe it.
We know Klopp wanted VvD because he said he did, everything else is just speculation and internet nonsense.
So, the question becomes, do I think we should have signed a CB.
Yes, unequivocally, yes.
Why we didn't is something Klopp knows, because I sure as F**k don't, and to be honest I find it a bit baffling.
As I posted earlier, the only thing I can think of is that he thinks Gomez can do a job when called on.
