No mate, it's all an act by FSG, a PR game, and Klopp is either being duped or is a willing stooge in their nefarious plan to "only" offer 70 million quid.
The hope surely now is that if and when a thirrd and final bid is put in and turned down that the next target is of similar quality.
In a previous transfer window we went after Sanchez and settled for Lambert and Balotelli.
In another went after Texeira and got nobody.
In another wrote a letter of apology to the fans for our lack of action.
We were told last transfer window our lack of net spend was because we didn't have CL and the club were confident of a top 4 finish and here it is.
This is the window to try to cement ourselves as a permanent fixture in the top 4/ title races.
Land these two big targets in VVD and Naby Keita as well as holding on to Coutinho the Fenway will have overseen a very good transfer window. (I'd say we very much need a striker too however)
Land similar level of player then we can live with that too.
What I can't stomach would be pissing about with this deal if we now know that the Germain Red Bulls won't sell at any price. Let's face it I doubt very much they need the money.
Still time to go yet, but at the moment nobody can be blamed for getting a little bit twitchy. We've sat through a few disappointing windows littered with amateur mistakes and this window has been similar too.
