I questioned why we hadn't done what Klopp wanted which was to do our business early on and I was attacked as usual from all sides. Moreno starting summed it up for me ,we wanted this fella gone at least a year ago and now he's brought back in because we're incapable of conducting transfers successfully. Salah looks good and Solanke has potential, Roberstson looks like he'll be back in the SPL in 2 years. We had the chance of closing the gap this season but with the help of our owners / new chief exec we look like we've managed to move further away from the top. We could easy lose Klopp due the total imcopentence at our club and we'll feel the ramifications for years to come.

The thing is that so far in this windowed the only area you've really strengthened in is a position where you were already strongest in.

The fact you're not actually in the CL proper yet will have halted your transfer progress surely?
If you blew £100-150m and lost to Hoffenheim then you'd probably be in a bit of bother. Also some players want to know if they will be playing in the CL and you can't guarantee that yet.
If you get through I suspect you will buy a few good players, maybe even more when Coutinho goes.

We strengthened on the wing. We had one winger in the first team. We need two.

It hasn't. The big players we bid for both wanted to come. The clubs didn't want to sell. Being in the CL has no effect on that.

Fair enough but you strengthened the front 3 which was by far your strongest area. You still have glaring weaknesses at the back, goalkeeper and midfield which weren't addressed.

Yes, so we could strengthen the midfield by moving Coutinho back. We signed a left back. We tried to sign a centre back who would have made a huge difference but even £70m couldn't get him. Likewise a midfielder who would offer more defensively to help out the defence. As I said before, two parties need to agree. You can know what you want, what will fix the issues and move you to the next level but if the other party don't agree then it doesn't work. Whether we should have had others lined up or still plan to go for others is another debate.
