It's interesting.
At the moment I think if you're claiming conspiracy theories and FSG having Klopp on a string like a puppet, you need to stop watching House of Cards.
I think the owners have shown that they are willing to spend money, we would not have broken the clubs transfer record this season and also had a huge bid for Keita rejected, so saying 'our owners won't spend money' isn't completely accurate.
The flaws now come from what happens if we cannot get Plan A... Do we have a Plan B? For all the stick we give the transfer committee I think it's clear we were not being sold a bag of lies about Klopp being the final say in all activity. The significant drop in the volume of player intake correlates with Jürgen arriving and matches his spending patters at BVB.
So I don't know what to think now. I think we have FSG who are owners who are willing to spend on the right player, and a manager who is willing to spend on the right player... But our shortlist has to be bigger than 2 surly.
I've always said I'm waiting until the window shut to give a final assessment. If we don't get anyone else in I won't be happy with the entire transfer machine at LFC, and that includes Klopp wether some of us are willing to admit that or not.
If I was the owner..I think I would be telling Jürgen...Hey appreciate you not wasting money but surely you could use a little help...do me a favor and go grab a little depth.
I mean honestly you get a top flight CB in there next to Matip and keep Coutinho were looking pretty damn good.
FB- Clyne, Trent, Robertson, Moreno...Gomez as a fill in
CB- Matip, Lovren, Klaven, Gomez......Here is the weakest area on the pitch
Mid- Coutinho, Lallana, Henderson, Can, Gini, Milner, Gruijc
Forwards- Bobby, Mane, Salah, Studge, Solanke, Origi
It's so glaringly obvious that if you bring in a VVD or at least better than Lovren it makes all the difference in the world..with that player you have a really decent 20-22 man squad; you can rotate with confidence, move people around tactically in-game and from the bench...just opens up all types of opportunities.
