Maybe you’d like to highlight the times in his managerial career that Klopp hasn’t operated under a “sell to buy” structure.
Admittedly it’s probably nice for him to be in the new situation of not having his best players constantly leaving despite being successful.
Not trying to get anyone to "Bite"
It is not a matter of Eastern,Middle Eastern,Sovereign, or Capital fuunding. It is simpley a matter of Funding...
LFC Were runners up in the Premimer League in 2018/19, Won the Champions League, The Super Cup, and the Club World Cup.
We won the Premier League 2019/20 and are you really telling me that we cannot find £29m + to sign a player..?
Werner wanted to sign for us, and has signed for Chelsea, another Deli Ali royal cock up
Chelsea have also signed Kai Havertz
Utd, Arsenal,City all have signed new players, Even Everton Thier squads have all been re-enforced, while we have just added a LB
With the boost of winning all those trophies and cups you really think they would invest in Klopp and the team, even if it meant loaning the manager monies from future transfer kittys. Other Clubs in the Premiere League seem to have found money to do so
Yes It may seem admirable to want LFC to live with in thier means, but sometimes you have to send money in order to save/make money
Player we can sell like Coutinho only come a long rarely
The type of Billionaire who understand this...
You expect that with lower divisions teams like fsv mainz 05, Borussia Dortmund not so much
Liverpool hardly....
Under FSG this will be the Norm'
That’s part of the point though - Chelsea are only spending big because they haven’t able to buy for a couple of windows and they banked big on on player sales.
It would be no different to us selling Salah or Mane next summer after a small outlay in transfers this year and last year and splurging on 3 x £50m+ Players.
Kind of like we did with Coutinho.
I don’t really care what players other teams buy - I’ve seen us & other teams splurging on new players fail more often than I’ve seen it bring success - particularly instant success.
For me it’s probably more important we get more out of our fringe players - Keita, Minamino, Ox, Gruijic, Shaquiri, .... even Origi and youngsters like Jones, Brewster, Williams, Hoever, Elliot and even Harry Wilson.
There isn’t much room to bring in players without shifting some of those on anyway - there aren’t many players that are available and would walk straight into first team and
There’s even less “big money” signings that are going to be keen on a move to be slowly integrated - even prodigious young players.
And before you bleat on about Timo Werner & Havertz - if the stories on their contracts are true - Chelsea are paying them significantly more than we would have - significantly more than we’re paying any of our players - and fair fucks to them for rinsing Chelsea - but they’ll be under pressure to succeed immediately.
I'm starting to think that Chelsea would be spending silly money regardless of last season's ban. Everyone else is spunking money like normal, why wouldn't they?
We're the odd ones out here. Like the way we're the only cunts who seem to take FFP seriously.

Exactly.
Chelsea paying them absolutely shitloads. Funded by a billionaire who is spending other people’s money so doesn’t give a fuck about cash flow or a pandemic. Signing players partially to replace ones that have left on frees (Willian and Pedro) and partially because they have stored up requirements following transfer embargo.
So why would anyone compare ourselves to them?!?
It’s just a collection of conjectures about clubs that wish to acquire him. Nothing about Liverpool thinking of selling him. The small print, in fact, implies a choice between sending him on loan, again, and his staying at Liverpool for this season.
Another Allan? 🙁
Ah, I must have forgotten that influx of nations that took over Everton, Newcastle, Sheffield United, Villa, Leeds, Tottenham, Wolves, West Brom.
He deserves better but seems on the face of it not bothered by it
I'm just clinging onto the fact that we have Klopp who is obviously a genius and seems genuinely happy to be here, and the fact that FSG over the last few years have (sometimes) been very tight-lipped and covert about transfers. We announced Fabinho out of the blue, for example. I'm hoping it's more of that. As long as Klopp seems happy, then that allays my concerns somrwhat.
After winning the Premier league, CL and World Club Championship, I doubt thats possible.
We've got about 200m in hand in terms of FFP. The only way we seem to take it seriously is as an excuse not to spend anything.
Look at the flak he took at Dortmund in his last season there, after all that he did for them (and that was before The Great TCP Crisis of 2020 or whatever else FSG claim is making them underspend mid-table clubs). The days of measured and historically informed appreciation of managers are long gone. FSG are acting as though they think Klopp is so good they can shut up shop for a year and he'll just keep on pumping his fists and smiling and we'll win stuff and it will all be great. I wouldn't mind so much if they held up their hands and admitted they'd messed up, but they're enough like other owners in that someone else will get the blame.
Equally - who have they signed that would we would have wanted?
It’s really only Timo Werner that we’ve missed out on.
Over five January transfer window We have spent £87.6m, which sound great until you factor in that £75m of that money was for VVD which means that over five years we have only spent £12.6m in the january window...
No one can tell me that was all down to Klopp not wanting players.

Ah, if only we had their success.
But as we all know, spend nothing, win nothing.
Just like last year.
Yup. Looking at the adulation Benitez has had from most of the supporters, Klopp’s achievements so far, along with his personality will ensure there’s no chance of supporters ever judging him a failure.
And all supporters see the net spend he’s had to work with. They’re not stupid.
So the Van Dijk money doesn't count then?
In my very humble opinion you make yourself look a complete tit when you look at our history of signings over the last 5 years, and neglect that the paltry outlay you are moaning about made us League, European and World champions. I can sort of understand (though not necessarily agree with) people looking at our current (or very recent) transfer record and worry about the future, but to complain over what has happened over a 5 year period, during which Liverpool went from failing to get into the top 4 to the dizzy heights we now occupy is madness.
Oh, but its Donavan ...
I love how the narrative of the "Lampard pull" is being pushed by the media when they were the only clubs in for all the players they signed. Werner and Havertz had no choice.
