A fair thought... But if you look at our upturn in form under Klopp paired with the fact he made it to 2 finals in his first 6 months, and all of this was done with the same group of players that the previous manager was desperately underachieving with, then maybe it's not a case that our transfer targets haven't been good enough.... maybe the previous manager just wasn't good enough
Sorry for the late reply Harry (I was away).
Yeah Harry we made it to two finals and we scored more goals but the truth is - that we finished with less points and two positions below where we were the previous season under a manager who, you say, "just wasn't good enough". So to suggest we had an "upturn in form under Klopp" is based only on your opinion (and is subjective at best)... nothing else.
Listen; there will be arsewipes who will purposely miss the point here so I'll make it clear - I am happy we have Jürgen as our manager and I am happy with what I saw this season [all things considered] but I'll be fu**ed sideways if I'm going to let my admiration of the man get in the way of the truth (as I see it) which, in this case, is this 'signing' being in line with Company policy.
Although I hope to see a change of tack before Summer's end - I am yet to see any evidence of any change to what went before. I'll stand over what I said initially.Reus, Auba, Mkhitaryan would classify as the high profile buys!
That Immobile bloke A Zed... the floppiest of all F***ing flops... was very high profile at the time but I can appreciate how easy it is for everyone to forget that particular episode. Then again; he was probably a
Buvac signing; eh?
Serious question [I haven't been keeping up] - has Buvac been seconded onto the Transfer Committee? (It'll be nice to know who we are going to blame if, Lord forbid
Jürgen can not get the best out of a player a player turns out to be poor).
