Neil Atkinson is joined by Dan Morgan and Mo Stewart to discuss the pressure of Barcelona and the irony of Liverpool becoming Leipzig while hounding Leipzig. What could happen next? Is there a curve where clubs are moving around inflation and improvement in footballers? Are Liverpool looking to benefit?

Just to play devil’s advocate… ‘do they? do they actually have the money to spend?’ They are apparently willing to spend loads of money on a guy who is not coming because he is not for sale… that could just be fan appeasement.. so they can say, ‘yeah we didn’t spend the money, but we tried.’ As for VVD.. we seem willing to spend the money and yet managed to spend none at all there either. I hope this is not true, but until the club actually spend the money they have not shown anything.
Hey Collin,
Sadly I agree with you. I hate the cliches but talk is cheap. I’m watching what Man City, Man United and Arsenal have all been doing and it’s making me nervous. We need quality and depth in defense and unless we get it it’s going to be a short champions league campaign and we’ll be back on the outside looking in. I love Klopp but we had no depth in Defense last season and we need quality players to assure adequate rotation! I’m nervous that if we don’t get our top targets Klopp won’t want anyone and that would be extremely frustrating!!
Glad you are just playing devil’s advocate Colin.
Anyone who really thinks the club would go to the elaborate lengths of making massive bids on players they had somehow worked out were not going to be sold to us, belongs with the tin foil hat types. It is a completely ridiculous suggestion.
