Just a thought.

Cornet would still have come at a big fee if we did decide to sign him and would have been fighting it out with Origi and Brewster.

Brewster is not proven in the EPL. Neither is Cornet.

People still going on about what 'if' we get injuries.

Clearly the likes of Pepe were not interested as we had discussions with his reps.

Pepe would not have joined Arsenal to sit on the bench. He would not have wanted to join Liverpool to do that either.

So Origi and Brewster as backups or the likes of Cornet at a high fee?

In re: to Pepe, 72M would have been far too much for a rotational player as well.

Cornet would not have been worth the high fee either as a rotational player so there's that. I think the main thing for us now is that we do not have to bed in new players like we did last season with Fab, AB and Naby. Now, they know how we play and know what is expected to of them. Can't say the same for Spurs, Utd and Arsenal who are going to need time for these players to bed in. and the fact that we got near 100 points while bedding in these players, is astounding in it of itself, in my book which shows how much work Klopp has done with these lads.

Now, would I have wanted us to make a signing or two? Absolutely BUT I'm not the manager and since he has earned my trust (and a 6th CL title), I'm going to ride with him cos he has made us what we are today signings or no signings so why should I doubt him now? Just my take.

How did Salah, Mane, Vvd, Allison bed in at Liverpool Redwolf. You're clutching at straws a bit. Off course I will take any advantage but I won't be hanging my hat on players bedding in.

Irish, where am I clutching straws, mate? Nowhere in my post did I mention Salah, Mane or VVD as bedding in last season cos it may have escaped you that they signed way before last summer. AB, Naby and Fab arrived last summer. Here's an idea. How about you actually read what I actually posted instead of spouting nonsense about stuff I actually did NOT say? Peace!

Another masculine debate. Or tantrum because someone disagrees. Keeping it classy as per usual RW.

The point being Redwolf that these players when they came took no time to bed in. It's not that difficult to understand.
