Hi Ed2/ Ed1. Longgggg time reader. Just decided to post on what you perceive of what is actually happening with us during this transfer window. We are well off the pace in terms of players in. Why are we so slow in doing everything, still discussing internally. Have the owners not given enough funds? Are we trying to pinch on lavia deal to have more for better defender? Why is it one player at a time where as example Chelsea have can negociate 1 and purchase 2. I just want to know what benefit is it to Klopp and the team to be so slow with their dealings and what is exactly taking so long with any of it as they have targets pre set going into window. I know a new DOF will have his own ideas but he seems like he is earning 3 months pay for nothing currently and less than 10 days to go we have shipped 7 expericed players and got 2 in leaving us in very bad shape so far. Wish to beg on your knowledge for an answer if you have the time.

{Ed001's Note - are we well off the pace? No one has done much due to the Saudis altering the market.}

I think we are i've suported us for 30 years now and yes we have quality but qty is so far off and the glaringly obvious is the whole through the middle that leaves past his prime Van Dijk exposed. We are a ferrari up top we are a volkswagon midfield and a lada in defending cos of tactics and its not 1st 2/ 3 wks after season ended its just a week b4 start of new season and the rebuild we had is slow and got worse with unexpexted departures so we need to adress the gaps in the squad ASAP and not every 5 to 6 days p. off owners of another team adding an extra 2mil to an offer when they know the price. I would say Klopp is furious cos time and again the club make him look foolish by not keeping up with the needs of the team last summer with zero mids purchased and now this where we seem to have improved first 11 but have left squad worse. Its meant to be a rebuild of the team, but its not even got going cos of planning permission was filled out wrong.

I was concerned weeks ago from day 1 Our owners have tried to be cute in with transfers exception being when we had the coutinho money.
Lots of reports of Lavia and Andre offers hope we can get these two over the line and I fear that’s our business done.
I really didn’t see the hendo and fab transfers we are very short on numbers with the Thursday night football looming.
