So you wanted the club to buy someone to replace Gini as opposed to using Elliot ?
It's not an either or. Elliot is like Jones, a young player with lots of promise. Gini was a different type of CM, a player with masses of experience that Klopp trusted. I'd have liked FSG to bring in a midfielder similar to Gini, yes. Not just for this season, but as an investment in the future with Hendo/Milly aging, AOC not good enough, Keita not played much by JĆ¼rgen even when fit which is not often etc etc. If you are saying that, if we signed a midfielder, that means Elliot wouldn't have played, don't think that's true, he'd have had plenty of opportunity with injuries, with dips in form of players etc, plenty of games where we could have done with someone coming on in the middle, or starting in the middle, when players looked a bit jaded etc. Improving the squad, and depth, increasing competition for places, giving JĆ¼rgen options he trusts, yes, I'd have given him the option to do sign someone in a heartbeat.
