With the transfer window closing in a weeks time and klopp saying teams not willing to do deals. Hopefully we don't just buy a player for the sake out it e. g. Balotelli just because we cannot get other targets. i for one would be happy to wait for the right players in the summer. (Jonathan tah and Steven n zonzi) my personal choices big strong players whom both can play klopp type football. I think we it's shown over the last few games we are a little short possibly in the wide areas with that pace that mane brings and miss that when we don't have it. i feel we are 2 or 3 players away at this point. What's your thoughts eds?

{Ed002's Note - I agree conceptually that clubs need to step back from knee jerk reactions in terms of buying for the sake of it. LAst year we saw Klipperty go for a completely pointless loan - I hope he won't do that again. I do understand that fans crave a player comining in, but it is easy to come to regret that in the summer when the club is stuck with players who are not going to get a look in whilst they are constrained from adding what they need. Klopp is not the smartest cord in the woodpile but it would take one DF to throw money out there to get a short term solution. Maybe Caulker could be available on loan again?}

Thanks for the reply ed. anyone in particular you would go and get in the summer?

{Ed002's Note - I think the summer is a long way off risht now.}

Why do you think Klopp is not too smart ed? Do you mean in general (have you met him maybe? ) or just in footballing terms (things like the Caulker deal etc. )

{Ed002's Note - It has not worked - tell me when it has.}

Could Klopp see a long term plan instead of a short plan and develop Ojo and Wilson. They may not be ready now and we also need players for now but it would be nice if one of them are seen long term .

Sometimes think long term is used as in excuse. Don't get me wrong think a long term plan is important but have to get there by making steps. So in the short term if splashing £30m-£40m in this window gets us top 4 is it worth it?

Only thing is doing our best to make sure any player brought in improves our first team. Obviously finances restraints hinder this and summer is more important but funnily seem to need the same 3/ 4 positions we always do; CB, RB, wide forward and potentially gk (far too early to judge karius and migns has improved drastically, but still don't have one I'm confident in) .

In fairness Ed002, there have been 7 managers to win a PL title out of a possible 206 - that's a little over 3%. Of those, only 2 won it in their first full season and none won it with less than a full season. Whilst I don't disagree with you because I don't know the man, I think it not having yet worked out in the PL is a little bit of a harsh reason for saying Klopp isn't very smart!

{Ed002's Note - The Liverpool owners considered they should have bought the Premier League title a couple of times now. I am sure that there are plenty of other excuses you can think of for Klopp not being up to the job as well.}

What exactly has not worked ed2? has he not improved Liverpool?

{Ed002's Note - He hasn't won anything for years - like Liverpool haven't won anything for years.}

Wasn't having a go ed, was just generally curious.
What hasn't worked, sorry?

{Ed002's Note - Having a way of playing football that will never win the league.}

Klopp has already mentioned time and again that just buying one player will not fix our current issues. Will buying a winger fro 30m suddenly make Lovren or Klavan stop making silly mistakes? Will that make us more committed and show more fight vs lesser teams? Many seem to think so for some wierd reason.

Panic-buying fixes nothing and LFC are in the best position to know that with examples galore. Any player you get in now, will need time to adjust and when he starts struggling as is normal in the beginning, what happens then? Should Klopp get the blame for getting a player we craved for or will he get slated for getting in the wrong player? See how complicated this is? Klopp has shown that if a player is out there that he needs, he will try to get him in as he tried to do with Alex Texeira last Jan but Chaktar wanted more money.

The man is in a no win situation so he`s doing what he thinks is right and I don`t envy him hence, he gets my support.

I see lol so again. Has he not improved Liverpool?

{Ed002's Note - His win percentage is still below that of Rodgers.}
