Why did Southampton let VVD go midseason then?
No elite level club (or clubs with ambition to be in the elite) sell their best players in January.
Making life incredibly difficult for Klopp.
You can see the reports coming out now from Monaco and Red Bull saying Lemar & Keita won't be moving before the summer.
Wouldn't be surprised if that's floated by the club at the end of the window, when no replacement for Coutinho arrives.
We wondered at the time why AOC was signed in the summer when it was argued he was keeping the likes of Woodburn out
of the squad. Seems to me AOC, VVD & Keita are all from the Coutinho money.
Wouldn't surprise me to see nobody arrive in afterwards.
Big Virgil in. Coutinho out.
Again we see Amercian ownership as the Era of Compromise.
Finally address the weakest area of the squad,
lose the teams best player in the process.
So the cycle continues.
