Nobody will buy them and we can’t use them because they’re hardly available
Point being, he wasted shitloads.
His hit record is ridiculously good.
Oh it is, but there are lots of signings not working out now.
Stingy owners can then point to those.
He isn’t the first top manager to buy duds and won’t be the last. Pointing to those two player and screaming “Look we do give you money” is a silly thing to do. He could easily point to Mané, Salah, Robbo, van Dijk and so on and tell people that is why he should be backed.
It has but its currently the area that needs the most amount of work. Gini is going, Milner is all but done, Keita and Ox are simply not available often enough. If you assume that we need 7 or 8 midfielders in the squad, the only ones Id have any faith in for next season are
Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago and Jones. Theres alot of gaps there, particularly given the amount of games Wijnaldum has played. We probably need at least 2 top quality players coming in this summer.
I agree, but it's also not daft to point out that in the midfield he's bought some high profile stinkers.
Honestly I have faith in the scouting, and wish we could utilise it now. But we can't
Remember stating that Klopp does not have control of transfer targets some time ago, and got slated for it... Now everyone sees that it is just that...
Wish FSG would just fuck off and sell to someone willing to invest in the club

Why is Klopp getting flack alone for poor signings?
I've mentioned this a couple times now but Edwards and co had everyone gushing over their efforts and now that there is some criticism to be dished out it's all on the manager somehow.
We've not invested in the team properly since we bought VVD and Allison. Klopp is good but he's not that good. If you think you're going to sustain a title winning side by buying a Minamino once a year then you're deluded.

True that.
Quite a few on here have been pointing out in the last windows that we need to add new quality players continuously, even if we are winning.
Time waits for no man, and players get older. However, the owners have kept the purse strings tight since the summer of 2018.

They'll sell if the right offer comes in. At the moment from what I know they're trying to merge with Redball
I don’t agree with the last sentence. We added Thiago and Jota. Both with ridiculous injuries. Who knows how things would look without those 2 having unnecessary time out.
You can't sign Mbappe when you aren't in the CLI.
Isn't part of the transfer committee's job to find bargains and provide suggestions to solutions? Why have we left it this late?
They have 6 days to sort their shit
FSG is taking a far far bigger risk then they imagine imo ...
If a bot can see the problem surely so can the board, waiting for injuries to comeback is just as ludicrous as Trump supporters thinking Hillary Clinton ran Pedo ring from the basement of Pizzaria
But everything is considered for the mid to long term, so they'll look at investing in tried and tested talents that will be expected to be first team regulars for several years, or in the best young prospects. That's fine so long as there's room for the occasional reaction to urgent needs. Every policy needs some flexibility.
I might be wrong, but my understanding is that there's a separate 'pot' of money for young players like this Derby kid, and that pot is largely the responsibility of Inglethorpe and the transfer committee (it's Inglethorpe's call because the argument is: 'these kids might not even mature in time to play for any particular first team manager, so the academy director needs to concentrate on these decisions'). So this money isn't being 'diverted' from any potential CB funds, for example.
