From what I can recall from last summer it was the usual BS - we would not pay extra required to get our target.
We paid around £36mill for Mane...
Zielinski we were putting bids in for which were the same as Napoli, they had theirs accepted whilst we had our rejected to try and get more from us.
The players like Dahoud that we didn't pay more for is because Klopp wouldn't have thought they were worth paying the money for and to be honest, them two players haven't done much at all this season to suggest that we were wrong in not bringing them in.
It's all well and good blaming the owners but why can't people accept Klopp has the final say? We moan when Rodgers didn't say this and then don't believe it when Klopp does say it, can't have it both ways.
Nothing about last summer suggests it was down to the owners, the transfer patterns were the same as it's always been for Klopp, he never looks to spend big and the fact we paid so much for Mane, who was apparently very inconsistent, shows that the club were prepared to pay big money.
Let's see what the excuses will be re VVD, Keita and Brandt!
Or lets see what the summer window brings first?
Honestly don't get it with some people, all the talk is pointing to us spending more than ever this summer yet people are still complaining. Our owners aren't perfect but I have don't think for a second they didn't let Klopp bring in exactly who he wanted to bring in and was able to. Not the owners fault if we get rejected by a player, it's just the position the club is at for the moment.
But that's just my opinion like, guess no one really knows what is going on behind the scenes.
