What a depressing window so far..
Tried all summer to sign 2 players and not only have we failed to sign both we are on the verge of losing our best player. So other teams are improving and we are once again going backwards.
I'm losing Faith in Klopp in the transfer windows .. He failed massively in January when we needed cover for injuries and he's once again failed this window. The players he's missed out on with no plan b is embarrassing. . Texiera, Keita, VVD, Dahoud should all have been reasonable targets and we failed with them all. He wants to sign players that can fit straight into the first 11.. well I could name over 100 players, yet Klopp can only find 2.
I agree with the sentiment of this argument, but there is no need to buy flops across the board which we cant get off the books for years to come - it has hampered us in the past.
From a Center Back perspective, yes we should be looking to buy another 2 and should have had ~6 targets to go after depending on transfer availability. We cant defend set pieces - even some championship players could bridge the gap and a 20MM investment would address some of our most pressing problems.
For all other positions in the squad, we need to improve the first team. Yes there are targets out there but for some of the places we are looking for a "solution" for, we need top class talent (CF, box-to-box CM, DM) to push on, and there aren't that many options out there...
