No doubt. But you also do it. As should he.
It’s not like he’s volunteering his time to be the manager.
And he is doing it, so?..

Not sure if you’re reading what I wrote. You are picking the fly shit out of the pepper here. I don’t care if he’s annoyed. It’s his job to answer the questions.
My specific point was why was the “real fans” blast necessary? It was a dumb thing to say. And again, as he’s beating his chest about how mighty the club are for making those deals, I was surprised a reporter didn’t ask what that does to the wage bill. Which we’ve heard has already been prohibitive to the clubs finances in player transfers.
He did answer the question, and he apparently sounded mildly irritated when he did it. It’s fine.
I haven’t responded to his or your comments about “real fans”. Don’t care. Don’t see the value in snide questions about “So does this make Liverpool the highest wage bill in the country” either. That journalist would just be trying to be a smart-arse.
You don’t have to spend the most money, or pay the most in wages, to be successful. This has forever been Klopp’s point. Yet here we are, still asking the same tired questions time and time and time again.

Ok then. Thats all you had to say, but you kept replying.
The rest of your commentary is a matter of perspective. Not right or wrong.

Actually it’s not what they asked at all. It was about possibly replacing Gini.
But if you didn’t listen to the PC how could you possibly respond?
As there seems to be a very real divide these days, and I don’t want to step on anyone’s toes or be misunderstood, so I firmly put my flag in the ground of hoping our club get one piece of silverware this season.
I don’t care which it is, would just like to see one trophy. We have the quality and enough players to make that happen.

Maybe I am misreading your tone, but is there a small element of sarcasm in this. I think the squad is strong enough to compete, do you really think so? Or should we be replacjng Gini?
Not at all. See above. If the manager believes we have enough, then I want to set the proper expectations. We should comfortably compete in 3 competitions this year.
EDIT: and I could say the same for you. Judging by the tone You seem to be itching for a fight.
And again for the fifth time: My point was never about buying new players or expressing any disappointment or desire to purchase new.
Look at my posting history how many times I said I’m happy with the squad.
My point was about Jurgen saying dumb shit.
I get nervous to post anything anymore.
I am not itching for a fight. Just asking a question.
Thanks for the sarky edit. Bold caps makes it really easy to read.
Well clearly your reading comprehension isn’t that great then. You asked me a question in reply to something I didn’t even write.
Good lord. I give up.
This should be a fun season for Liverpool supporters. Can’t wait!
You accuse people of this regularly but it seems that you actually just read into posts as personally disrespectful where no disrespect is meant. Apparently you also took the “real fans” comment to heart.
Pretty sure he was talking about twats on twitter who post “SIGN MBAPPE!” “FSG OUT!” etc… under every Liverpool related thread. Possibly he may have even been making a tacit point that the majority of the journalists in the room are not Liverpool fans and their questions didn’t properly reflect those of “real fans” (who already understand how and why he works the way he does etc.)
I don’t think he was claiming any person wanting new signings, or worried about squad depth, is not a real fan. That indeed would be a stupid thing to say.

I haven’t seen the press conference, only the tweets from Paul Gorst quoting Klopp which I’ve posted below. I am yet to see anything dumb in what he said. Looked fairly straightforward to me.

that will be determined by the success of the club in league and cup play. I would rather be a developer of great players via Kirkby than taking risks on the transfer market and spending £30-50mil on a potential flop.
We’ve seen some excellent youth come though the academy in this preseason. long may it continue!

Have to say I agree with @Neukölln, that’s a little bit of a dickish response from Klopp. Being pleased about securing these long-term contracts isn’t contradictory with also wishing the club would more aggressively pursue an addition in midfield.

Again. Matter of perspective. You don’t have to agree.
Beautifully stated Prolix. This is perfectly summed what I was trying to convey.
People are always too fast to come swarming in with comments about how what Klopp has said is 100% right and everything is perfect.
Guarantee that just like the rest of us if Klopp could add Mbappe tomorrow he 100% would!
Be careful putting too much store on what is said in press conferences.
There are motivations to distraught the truth.
Big up the players before the season, generate some positive feelings and momentum. Make clubs trying to buy our players think ww might be happy to keep them. Make clubs that are banking on selling players to us worried they’ll lose the deals if they stick to high asking prices. Lots of reasons.
No need to be dicks to fellow fans just because they want the squad to keep improving. We all want Liverpool to win as much as possible.
One way to help Klopp do that is by making sure he has the right tools at his disposal. He can make a hammer a fantastic hammer but he can’t make it a screwdriver.
That’s why we paid so much for so many players and why it worries some of us that as soon as we got to the top recruitment has slowed right down.
All the talk at the time, including from Klopp, was about how staying at the top required more than reaching it. We don’t want what happened to Dortmund to happen here. Where his success was unsustainable because there just wasn’t any backing.
