      Terrible decision in my opinion.

      I agree..what the point in being an LFC supporter and being glass half-full personality.

      The two for the most part are totally opposite of each other.

      Haha yes! Tompkins could write 5 pages of positivity even if we got relegated I reckon!

      Yup...so he has got full control and he is calling the shots or he is a company man through and through no second guessing a statement like that.

      Kind of backs up what I've "said all along" mate. Rather than tell FSG to disband the transfer committee and bin off Edwards with his computer programmes, Jürgen just renders them redundant.

      I'd love to see the list of players they've given the boss as "alternatives" to VVD and Keita, and how much cheaper they would have been. That Jurgens response has been "nah, if I can't have those two I won't bother thanks" is genius. He did it last season with the left back situation (although I was too thick to spot it then) and he's doing it now. Like a game of chicken it is, Jürgen could be a politician never mind a football manager. Top man!

      Jürgen Klopp: "If we bring in a player, it's because I like them. There's no Plan B, or C - it will be Plan A."

      Well...I guess that's one way to do it. In my line of work, you always have a contingency plan in case "Plan A" isn't possible.

      So despite Klopp repeatedly saying money has never been an issue, that the decisions are his, that he has the final words, that it's down to him which players are brought in, it is now being interpreted that every single positive statement he has ever made regarding the owners is just a political ruse to "control" something he's always had 100% control over.

      "Between October 2015 and now, there have never been any doubts over our relationship.

      "It is not about asking for things you cannot get. Whatever we do, we do to strengthen the club.

      "They are really reasonable. They really care about the club and want to give us the best opportunities they can give.

      "Maybe not the same opportunities as some other clubs but they are good enough to be successful."

      We are totally screwed this season

      What a season we had to stamp our authority, yet we prove we have a small club
      Mentality

      We needed a proper fit number 9 and to upgrade or cm and cb, yet we flopped

      At least the owners will enjoy healthy dividends

      As much as I blame FSG for our lack of impetus in the transfer market, Klopp is also to blame IMHO.

      Now he's got Coutinho wanting out on him, has done very little in two transfer windows and the squad all of a sudden is looking weaker the closer the season starts.

      He and his men have fu**ed another transfer window.

      Agree.

      The one and only target strategy has proven to be a poor one.

      sh*t load of games this season and our squad is weaker than last season.

      Jürgen Klopp on why Liverpool can't afford to sell wantaway Philippe Coutinho this summer


      Reds boss believes he cannot put a price on Brazilian because it's too late to replace him

      Jürgen Klopp says it’s impossible to put a price on Philippe Coutinho because it’s too late in the window to try to replace him.

      The Brazil international submitted a transfer request on Friday in a bid to force through a move to Barcelona but it was instantly rejected,

      Liverpool turned down a second bid of £90million from the La Liga outfit earlier this week and owners Fenway Sports Group remain adamant that Coutinho will be staying put.

      Klopp lost a number of key players to rival clubs during his reign at Borussia Dortmund but he says that sanctioning deals like that for wantaway stars is all about timing.

      “I had to sell a lot of players in my managerial career,” Klopp said.

      “Some had clauses, some had no clauses. We had the (Robert) Lewandowski thing and that was difficult when he went to Bayern on a free transfer. A lot of different things.

      “The only thing I can say about this is that in life everything is about timing – whichever club asks early enough.

      “It’s like how we try to do it. If we ask early enough, we try to do it. If you ask early enough, you can either switch the plan of whatever. But you cannot come up, close to the start of the season and things like this.

      “It’s like I said: the club is bigger than anybody. That is the most important thing. It’s about doing it in the right moment. It’s how we do it when we want to bring players in.

      “Most of the other clubs won’t come to us and say ‘by the way, we have a good player, do you want to buy him?’

      “It is about timing. That is how I understand it. And that is all I have to say. Maybe everybody has a price – in the right moment. In the wrong moment? No price.”

      The owners issued a statement on Friday morning insisting that “no offers for Philippe will be considered and he will remain a member of Liverpool Football Club when the summer window closes”.

      Their position is unchanged in the wake of the transfer request which was sent by Coutinho via email to sporting director Michael Edwards

      Coutinho and his agent Kia Joorabchian have been made aware of the owners’ resolve to retain his services throughout the summer. Liverpool are disappointed that Coutinho is agitating for a move despite the player having been told face to face by the owners that any such request wouldn’t be entertained.

      The club’s expectation is that Coutinho will act professionally and won’t let either his team-mates or the supporters down.

      Coutinho reported to Melwood as usual on Friday morning but didn’t travel with the squad to Watford ahead of Saturday’s game at Vicarage Road due to a back problem.

      Speaking before the transfer request went in, Klopp had played down the prospect of Coutinho really pushing for a move.

      “I have known him for 20 months and that’s the only thing I can say about this,” he said.

      “If he would be fit and not in the squad, then maybe we could talk about it. But he is not fit.

      “Everything is not like it should be but it is a normal situation apart from a few things flying around.

      “The player is not in team training. I don’t go to the medical department every day and ask things like that.

      “Nobody comes to me every day and says ‘Oh my God! Phil!’ We speak about the injury. That is all.”

      Klopp is not one to blink to low life agents.
      Would be in Couts best interest to realise this asap.

      Talking of agents are they not the scourge of football sucking the funds out of the game at the same time holding sway over clubs esp the smaller clubs.
