Balde keita has yet to sign for Juve...maybe perisic from Inter..wake the fck up its not only recent injuries its the fact we signed only one significant player thus far..it just drives my head in..Klopp should be banging his fists and yelling for more players

Players will get injured during pre-season especially with a hectic schedule like the one we endured. 2 games in 24 hours and we were rumoured to be training up to 3 times a day some days. The recent crop just reinforces our need to strengthen.
The worst thing is that we don't seem to be really interested in anyone

We are way to passive in the market and its not fair on fans, club should respect fans want to see new players and get excited about season and prospects, thwy owe us hope.

Unacceptable to just go after a couple of players and give up, theres money and fans pay a lot, its all part of the experience of supporting a club but its lost on FSG and Klopp.

This has to be one of the slowest windows for us. I can't  recall one that was dull like this one.

Not sure why we are surprised that with only just a week left to the start of the new season we have signed f**k all players when we REALLY needed to this transfer window.

FSG have continually let us down year in and year out and this has once again been no different from the shambles we have seen in the past.

You can use all the excuses you want but we all know that we needed to strengthen with a new CB and box to box CM. Also a lot of us have raised the question of a new keeper as we still have to rely on Ming!

It's absolutely criminal that if either Lovren or Matip were to get injured we are well and truly f**ked. Criminal!!!

I'm gobsmacked that we have spent the last 2 months Pi.ss.f.arting around on 2 players that clearly belong to clubs that DONT want to sell. This is what we should have done when Farcelona came sniffing around for Suarez, but we bent over backwards quicker that a 5 dollar hooker. If we sell Coutinho in the same manner over the next three weeks we are all going to go from pessimistic to DEFCON 1 angry within the space of a day. 

I was championing the idea that there was ages left of the window but I'm getting concerned now. Take Coutinho, Lallana and Studge out and the squad looks awfully thin again. Salah may be a hit here which is great, but it wasn't a key area that needed addressing. So far we've done f*ck all to sort our Achilles heel of last season and FSG want to pull their fingers out of their ***** and put them in their wallets.

3 major signing identified by Klopp who all told him they want to come: Salah, VVD and Keita. If we end up with the first two but not the third is it a decent window?

If we keep Coutinho and add Van Dijk it'll be a decent window imo.

Realistically, I think Klopp and the club are comfortable competing for a top4 place for another season. If we were serious about competing for the league, we would have taken the Utd, Chelsea or City route of making sure we have as strong a starting 11 as possible, then add quality second options for every position.

As things stand, we could improve on our GK, CB, LB, DM, ST. I think Clyne, Wijnaldum, and Lallana are good enough to start for a side competing for the title. Coutinho, Mane, and 1 of Lovren/Matip are the same. Sturridge cant be relied on, but he too would have made the list.

If we add Van Dijk, we're down to 4 positions we should improve on imo. Mignolet, Milner, Henderson/Can, and Firmino are decent options in their positions, but I dont think any of them would be starters for Chelsea, City, Tottenham, Utd, or even Arsenal.

So we've got stars here who are emerging and don't really need to jump into the market. Hmmmmm had a feeling we are done.

Moreno after 1 good friendly game is apparently back. I didn't even know he was gone because his always been average.

So that means Milner is like a new signing in Mid. I guess our Keita replacement is sorted lol.

I think maybe Van Dijk will be our final inclusion.

Maybe Klopp will open arms and have Sakho back then we will hear the new Sakho is back so we don't need a CB.

I think what Jurgen is saying is 'yes I really wanted Keita and Van Dijk but if I have to go with what I've got - I will'.
That sounds a bit ominous to me. IMO I don't think we have done enough business, last year we literally scraped over the line to get 4th and that was without the burden of European football.
In a way i can see what he is saying, when everyone is fit we have got a good side and who knows maybe we would have won the league if it wasn't for injuries so maybe the only thing missing is luck. Counting on us not getting so many injuries this time around though is a risky strategy imo especially given how demanding our style of play is and how many extra games we have to play this season. We've already lost Lallana for 3 months and we haven't even kicked a ball in anger yet!
We need a top class CB and CM and the club should be moving heaven and earth in the 4 weeks remaining of the window to bring them in. If we don't get Van Dijk + a CM I think we'll fall short this year and let's face it the upshot of finishing outside of the top 4 will probably be Coutinho leaving next summer.
I hate to say it because it does look like the club is preparing itself to go with what we've got but imo what happens over the next 4 weeks could end up defining us for years.
Finishing in the top 4 last year was a big opportunity to kick on, If we only bring in Salah, Robinson and Solanke this summer given we had serious money to spend and the carrot of CL football to offer then we will only have ourselves to blame if things start to unravel next season and next summer.
Big 4 weeks coming up imo.

If that's true then Klopp places himself in a position to fail...This is very negative news. We haven't dealt with our main weakness in the squad.

What the hell is happening here? We had a £200m transfer kitty to improve the team this window after not spending a penny last year and somehow managed to finish 4th.. and we've only spent £50m(ish).

2 teams that finished below us have improved more than us and to top it off we now have Champions league to compete in.

Something must be happening because there is no way Klopp only had these small amounts of targets in the most important window we've had for years... and if he did then it's criminal.

Spurs have the excuse of building costs for the new ground and having to loan Wembley for the season..

We have no excuses to not spend money.. FSG must have made ridiculous amounts of profit in the last 2 years.

We are showing NO ambition.
