Where Do We Stand With FSG If There Are No More Signings?

FSG are experts at making managers Scapegoats. sh*t doesn't stick to them with some of our fans, it's Kenny's Brendan's Jurgens fault that we didn't land our targets!

Well players taking up a different position in the team compared to last season is deemed as a new signing, as is a player returning from injury so could well be a few more yet.

So that's the key...just move players around and voila! new signings!!!

Could rant about what is wrong with FSG all Day, but will only say two things... The proof is in the pudding, and FSG has been serving up the same pudding for 7 + years now

Exactly. Klopp seems happy enough with it so hell, why not.

Record breaking summer for us for sure...

Yep big piles of bum truffle every single year.

Interesting to see the way opinion has shifted even over the course of a month.

Glad to see so many people opening their eyes to the truth, we'll never consistently compete while this lot own the club.

The reality is Klopp will need to spin plates and perform miracles in order to raise our level because he'll not be given the resources needed to set our standards higher.

Would be weird if we signed nobody else and this would be considered a poor window... But at the same time we look at the signings we have made that look to me to be nothing short of excellent... I think we need more, however I can't help but think the signings we have made will be overlooked slightly.

Riots, carpetbaggers on the run.

We're a few injuries away from being in trouble. Look at the bench. But there is money there to spend.
You're not telling me that VVD and Naby are the only two players in the world who can improve our squad.
If it was BR with this squad, a budget to spend, and not spending it, there'd be carnage.
Jürgen was brought in to be strong and not accept tripe signings, but not signing anyone is not good either.
Of course you don't want to sign guys just for the sake of it ... but, refer back to line 2 above ^
We've done nothing in past winter windows?!?! So this is f**king it for another semester kids!!
We NEED more signings. If we don't get them, when hit hit injuries, who is going to come in and keep us ticking along in all competitions. Origi, Ings, Grujic, Klavan, Karius etc?!
Loads of time, only August 25th  Who would've thought back in mid May we'd have done so f**king little business by now..

Plan B is the same as Plan A. Identify a range of players who can improve us and move through the list in an attempt to sign one. That's how it works at every other club. For us, Plan A is a list of one player in each position and we can never sign anyone else. Or are you seriously suggesting there isn't another Center Back out there that we could get who would improve on Lovren, let alone Klavan. Or Mignolet? Or a box-to-box midfielder who might not be as good as Kieta but would still give us a creativity and energy in midfield we currently lack? Or an out-and-out Striker who is better than Origi and less injured than Sturridge? This is the 'transfer comittee's' job and Edwards is the guy in charge of that process so the buck clearly stops with him.

I can't disagree with you but but I think that Klopp likes throw the big cash at players he is 100% sure about.  I think we have successfully dealt with Southampton in the past and probably thought we could do it again for the umpteenth time.  Is there a defender which is better than Lovren?  In our eyes maybe there is loads.  Klopp may not be willing to give the nod at the price for them plan B's.  Like most I think we really need another CB we are quite desperate.  Unless Sakho can kiss and make up which is more unlikely than signing VVD. 

As usual, it's all cloak and dagger on the transfer front.

I wonder why that would be...

I remember years ago, Brian Clough in charge of Notts Forest, he was all hush hush about a signing they had made, got everyone wondering who it was, everybody was excited, until the announcement.....

Robert Rosario.

Pretty much expecting similar here with us, whoever we sign now, will simply be a gesture signing.

Too much cloak, not enough dagger Beer......

Totally agree, especially about there being carnage if this was TPM.

I'd like to believe and back Klopp where FSG are concerned because quite frankly their record here in seven years speaks for itself.

To a certain extent Klopp has been complicit with this. You only have to read some of his, at times delirious remarks about this squad and it certainly doesn't look like he's laying down the gauntlet to the bean counters above him.

I'm starting to believe they're all as bad as each other.

At least with Rafa he'd ark up.

Rodgers would play politics with TC signings.

With Klopp - nothing, contentment with the whole situation. Worrying.

Same end result for LFC.

The thing with Klopp is, he has proved he can work with players, so a benefit of the doubt has to be given, but also, like he said last season when we started well then lost to Burnley, people said "yep, typical Liverpool". He didn't get it, however much he admitted it later how he got what people were saying.

When Klopp took over, he wanted to restore the belief in the club. Well the reason so many of us are fecked off are because of this transfer window, the losing to lower clubs, the other clubs nicking our best players.

Who knows, this could be a season where Klopp comes into his own and shows his philosophy really is that good, or it could be another one of those where us supporters are screwed over once again, and we lose everything, our best players and our manager, its a fine line.

Honestly, what do our very well paid, FULL TIME scouts and transfer committee actually do on a daily basis?

Based on this and previous transfer windows, not a lot.

I'm reserving judgement until the window closes....but needless to say I'll be using a certain word most on here will be very familiar with....here's a wee clue....

It starts with K and ends with S....and it's not Kisses ?

Your not too far off the mark mate 😁

Very few people actually stand with FSG and their ridiculous transfer record, with every season the discontent and opposition to our owners increases.
