Thing is TOOR, Klopp actually came out and admitted that his opinion had changed.
All the more reason why it's so odd that so many Liverpool fans on here get all tetchy when it's suggested that Klopp contradicted his words with his subsequent actions.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This so what Klopp said;
“ “Other clubs can go out and spend more money and collect top players, yes,” he said in 2016. “But if you bring one player in for £100 million or whatever, and he gets injured, then it all goes through the chimney.”
Where has Klopp gone out and collected top players? A lot of his signings have been from sides the tier below us. It’s not as if he’s gone out and bought Ronaldo on the left, Messi on the right and £150m worth of defenders on the bench, whilst bemoaning not having any options once one gets injured.
Where has he spent £100m or whatever?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yet he came out, when asked about those comments, and said he'd changed his opinion... jokingly referring to his comments as 'bullsheite'.
I wonder why.
Seems he can accept that what he said proved to be incorrect but you guys can't. Odd.

Oh and here's an additional part of the quote:
"Other clubs can go out and spend money and collect top players. I want to do it differently. I would even do it differently if I could spend that money."
Don't want to be misleading now, do we?
“ Seems he can accept that what he said proved to be incorrect but you guys can't. Odd.”
I’ll ask again;
Where has he collected top players?
When has he spend £100m or whatever on a player?

SAF's call to Howard Wilkinson about Cantona must be our ultimate sliding doors moment. He admits himself that it was almost a joke call and never thought he'd be able to get the player.

He spent big sums on individuals having implied he wouldn't do so, even if he had the money.
He then acknowledged that and said he had changed his opinion.
What are you struggling with?

Are we going down the route here of pretending Liverpool inflated the market.
Did United not buy a deeply flawed midfielder from Juventus for 80-90m to break the world record?

I don't think anyone needs any blame for anything. If someone says something as deliberately childish as "your face is pathetic" I kind of think it is tongue in cheek and certainly not worth a serious response that you gave. You seem really keen to distribute blame rather than move the conversation on or ignore.

Perhaps you're being rather over generous to TOOR there.

What are you struggling with?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He bought two players for £62m and £75m respectively. The other players he’s signed have been relatively cheap and not what you’d class as ‘top players’.
Is £62m even that much nowadays? £80m gets you a Harry Maquire, £50m gets you a Sigurdsson. I’d say the two, considering the difference they’ve made are bargains by comparison.
FieldsofAnfieldRd (U18971)
At the time, he paid more than anyone had ever paid for a goalkeeper.
Also for a defender.
Having implied that he wouldn't spend large sums on individuals, this was clearly contradictory to that.
He's admitted it himself!
What's the problem?

Nah that's just the Manchester United premium you have to pay when you buy a player.
Selling clubs know they can bend Woodward over and give him a good rodgering when it comes to transfer fees, they just refer to previous deals he's made

FFS - he admitted it himself!
Why are you trying to change the definition of what he said when Klopp himself admits that is what he said/meant?
The quote is below and it clearly implies that he wouldn't spend big money on individuals. I don't know why you're trying to argue it given Klopp accepted it!
If you bring one player in for £100m and he gets injured, then it all goes through the chimney," he said.
"The day that this is football, I'm not in a job anymore, because the game is about playing together.
"That is how everybody in football understands it. You always want to have the best, but building the group is necessary to be successful.
"Other clubs can go out and spend more money and collect top players. I want to do it differently. I would even do it differently if I could spend that money.

VVD is an amazing signing but you have Moreno and Karius next to and behind him then we'd have the same problems.
The collective really is key here. Saying thatVVD ability in the air and positioning helped solve a glaring system issue.
