Have you been in a cave for the last three months?
Klopp (I love him) ended the season by saying that the work was already done. Take that how you will, and you can make excuses for him, but to me that's pretty obvious that he thought that the business was done. We then go on to spend the next 12 weeks or so relentlessly chasing TWO players their clubs have no intention of selling, no matter how obscene or grotesque the price. We have somehow decided that these are the only two players in world football that will improve us and we put all of our efforts into signing them. Then, it turns out we've somehow managed to get caught doing something illegal that all the clubs do anyway, but we've been incompetent enough to actually blow ourselves up and have been forced to apologise and back away from one of the players like a gaggle of slobbering retards. Operation Lower Expectations begins and some of us start to believe against reason that Moreno is suddenly going to become a footballer, and James Milner is like a new signing in midfield. We don't need another centre back, actually, we have Matip, Lovren, Klavan and Gomez. Sturridge will stay fit too! All is actually rosy. Then, as you say, Coutinho could quite easily leave.
We've signed Salah who looks a player.
Solanke has impressed in pre-season, but so did Iago Aspas, and he's a young lad. It would be a lot of pressure and expectation on him.
Robertson didn't pull up any trees at relegated HULL.
Is that it? Is that all our signings? Genuine question because it's so underwhelming. This squad buckled when they only had the league to play for. How will it compete for the Champions League (if we even qualify) and in the league against the rest of our rivals who have all strengthened bar Spurs who were better than us anyway?
We've been complacent, incompetent, arrogant, stupid, amateur, the list goes on. Unless something outrageous is pulled out of Klopp's arse in the next few days, then it's been a disaster of a summer. And even by then, it may be too late.
