Funny everyone forgets the 40m fee for Oxlaide-Chamberlain..
40m Ox
35m Salah
75m VVD
67m Keita
If that's not mega money then I don't know what is? 217 million on 4 players.
The expectation has got to be trophies surely.
are saying klopp has spent 217 milns when keita is still playing for lapzig and vvd is still in Southampton shirt? By that mean pep, kante, and mourinho would easily cross 400miln if we add their future signings. Can you really comapare?
Yes we are spending , no one is denying it, fortunately we finally have owners who show some balls but that doesn't mean we are spending big. 40 miln OX ? 35-40 is the basic price for a good footballer these days. Thats not Mega spending.
Coming back to your point, about the pressure, ..
Klopp in his first ever press conference ... Himself brought that topic on, he talked about winning it in 3-4yrs. Its obvious he knows it, the owners must have made it clear...if not why would a manager dug his own grave by saying i will try and give a title in 3 yrs? Pressure was there even before he spent a single penny. That being said you can't always link up the two things, yes klopp is spending money and yes he is taking us forward....but you cant hold him responsible and pull the plug on him just because there are teams who are outspending us regularly, and there are teams with one of the very best players and manager like kdb, pep. Yes we would expect him to come with some solution to it but to say f*ck off klopp you cant beat city ...we are firing you , that would be stupid.
