Ha ha ha ha
quite a post from the master of banalities and the chief of received wisdom.
Yep, I agree mate but it's a banality; if anyone here seriously thinks spending big is itself enough to solve our problems I have yet to read their posts.
I won't bother going throufgh the thread and listing them but there are plenty of examples for the literate.
If it's "what's the best system/strategy to improve our success rate in the transfer market?" I think it's a bit more interesting. Who decides and how do they decide? What factors need to be taken into consideration?
Which is precisely the question that I have been asking and haven't had answered as yet.
I tend to think there is no set formula as such and if we overanalyse the problem we could end up adding complexity where it isn't needed.
My feeling has always been that the manager has to be the one who leads it and has the final say, as he's the one who works with the players to implement his vision for how he wants us to play.
Wow? Really? Let me just get my notebook to get all this down - what were you saying again about banalities?
But instead of "computers" and "committees" maybe the smart thing to do is actually hire a manager who can spot a player and let him get on with it. In this case that would be Jürgen. I wouldn't have a problem with that.
Except that Jürgen wasn't solely responsible for picking and hiring the players at Mainz or at Dortmund. He doesn't want to "spot a player and get on with it". In his own words:
"The 48-year-old, however, said it was a “crazy discussion” and that it would be easy to handle after taking him fewer than 10 seconds to think about their role.
“This is a really crazy discussion because it was not a problem for (even) 10 seconds,” said Klopp. “We talked about it before ... for me it's enough.
“We only want to discuss about very good players and discussing on the highest level and I hope that's what we do.
“I'm not a genius, I don't know more than the rest of the world. I need these people."

It took the manager "less than 10 seconds" to think about it. You, on the other hand have been struggling with the problem since October. Try again.
