Honestly Liverpool are the only club now that I doubt myself with “scouting” the signings. I was wrong about Robertson, Jota and Konate… I look at every other club and the players are exactly who we all thought they were before they signed.
The criticism of Werner was that all he does is run in straight lines fast, that he has no game intelligence and wouldn’t be able to translate that to a tactically astute league.
Werner just picked the wrong club, Klopp wouldv’e explained to him what offside was & he’d be on about 74 goals by now. Instead he’ll be going back to Leipzig and start where he finished off there…very smart by them.

It’s either that or sell him and get a replacement on lower salary, perhaps? With Gonzalez out, there’s no other backup option for the holding role besides Frenkie. Surely he’s starting the next game, with Busquets suspended.

But I feel by large they’ve done well on paper, some really creative moves. Feels like they’ve prepared their summer well in advance. Some at least to help them immediately to stay up. Some are both that and long term also.
