So he’s admitted it. He said one thing then but he changed his mind and now wants to spend big to complete his team.
So can we stop this weird subculture on here this week about criticising Liverpool for addressing their problems with cash they’ve generated?
I hate that club as much as anyone else on here, look at my past OPs, but this week and the “oh look Klopp is spending money" is tiresome
“Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp "doesn't care" about allegations of hypocrisy over his transfer spending.
After Paul Pogba's £89m move to Manchester United in 2016, Klopp said he would quit football if such fees became commonplace.
The £66.8m signing of goalkeeper Alisson from Roma took Liverpool's spending over the last 12 months to almost £250m.
"We don't care what the world around us is thinking," Klopp said.
"Like Manchester United didn't care what I said."
The German added: "It is only an opinion in that moment. Did I change my opinion? Yes. That is true. But it is better to change your opinion than never have one.
"We have the players we want."

Everybody knew how the market was going to inflate, Jose said it at the time.

When Klopp broke the record at Anfield 3 times so quickly then what do people expect.

He was very naive to think he was going to be able to build the team he wants without spending big. Very shortsighted for a top manager.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He made that comment after United spent 89 million on Pogba, no one knew that the market would inflate by more than 100%.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah it was a petty swipe at United, suppose at the time it deflected from his own shortcomings
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What shortcomings? He was building a squad.

Still banging that drum now isn't he?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No, he's clearly not, he said so as much in the same interview

JK didn’t have a choice given market inflation.
He was right about Pogba because that was the fee that changed it all.

If Liverpool win something this season, the spending will be totally justified.

Klopp went from developing players to buying players.
What went wrong Klopp.

We havent spent big, we have merely stepped up to where we are supposed to be in order to compete with the big spenders.
