It wasn't the right player though! We walked away from Bellingham when it got to £80m, but were prepared to pay £111m for a plodder worth £40m at most. Bizarre.


As pointed out before... We walked away from Bellingham deal before most of our midfield walked away from Liverpool.

Had we known we were losing so many players, I suspect we may have tried harder for Jude.
 
You done nothing mate <cheers>
Just discussed stuff with you before lol
First name that popped into my head
Z was second
So not always about Zanjihno <laugh>

TBF, it probably would have been me had I seen it first <laugh>

Well Klopp thought it was and was backed by the owners on his say so. The point being, the money was made available which is what fans have been asking for.

Bellingham wanted ridiculous wages and he walked away from us, not the other way round. The transfer fee is only half of the equation.

Klopp and Ljinders are a huge problem at the moment. I'm not FSG's biggest fans but Klopp needs to take responsibility as he is now the de factor Director of the club.

Our recruitment policy / strategy is scattergun to say the least, and we don't have anyone who can actually negotiate deals.

Pathetic from everyone at the club.

I wouldn't describe it as scattergun - that's a term more fitting to Chelsea than us.
We don't seem to be operating as efficiently as we once were, but as has been mentioned often enough, we as fans know very little about what is happening behind the scenes.

Wouldn't that mean signing lots of random players (like Chelsea but cheaper)...?

We're the exact opposite of that. More like a pea shooter approach

It's game week 3 and this squad is still under strength in areas that should have been addressed by now.

I'm sure a lot is happening behind the scenes but on the pitch, we're nowhere near where we need to be.

BUT - I was listening to 5 Live before and one of the pundits insisted Liverpool have had a completely disastrous window. Er, we did get our two main targets within budget, and were supposedly looking for a LCB (not sure if we persuing Lavia at that point). Hendo and Fab wanted to go, and for that money we had no choice. Since THEN it's been a disaster: if we had £111m to be chucked at Caiecedo (seriously, no sour grapes, but I saw a £50m player at best tonight against Luton - Enzo has stardust, yes, but even he's £30m over-priced), we had £120m plus wages to throw at Bellingham, who does belong in that bracket. Okay, we may well have been snubbed as it's Madrid - but who would rather be snubbed by?

Most windows would seem reasonable if we brought in two good quality additions - perhaps three if Endo turns out ok - but it's because of so many leaving it seems bad. However, as we've discussed before, two of them were imaginary and two of the others came out of the blue.
We still need additions in key areas - Konaté's fragility is of concern, and there's a gaping hole at RB.
It's far from satisfactory, but calling it completely disastrous is a bit over-emotional.

Don’t just think it’s Konate who is fragile
Matip
Gomez
Are both in that category for me
If we could just sync a rota we might just get through the season
Endo will end up in the back line before season end <laugh><laugh>
