Easy task, we just need to sign 2 players who're probably among the top 10 players in world football right now to be good enough to win the league. Strange how the solution for Ole's problems always seem to boil down to getting better players despite us looking lost on the pitch on most weeks.
Meanwhile teams with supposed lousier talents are matching us for points but nope, lack of quality players in our squad is clearly the answer.
Just curious. If we sacked Ole today and appointed Nagelsmann or the manager of your choice, do you think he should just make do with what he got, no further recruitment nesscary?
This whole argument of "he got to spend x amount of money, and another manager spent y amount of money, therefore the thrid manager should get to spend z amount of money". Its just weird, its not like hes spending our money so i dont get why people get so wound up about it.
Also, the notion that each manager has a fixed amount of money to spend, and when he spent his pot he should achieve whatever is also weird. To put in context:
Inn: Bruno, Maguire, AWB, Telles, Cavani, James, DvB, Diallo, Pellestri
Out: Fellaini, Smalling, Lukaku, Darmian, Young, Herrera, Sanchez, Lindgard, Fosu-Mensa, Rojo
Net 210 million
The first three signings have played about every minute since they arrived and have been incredibly important for us. Telles is a decent back up and Cavani have been a good signing as well. James and DvB are pretty "meh" so far while Diallo and Pellestri are both exciting youngsters
Outgoings have all been either deadwood or unwanted here, and with little to no resale value. Still does not mean they dont need to be replaced
Klopp has signed 27 players in his time at Liverpool. Granted his net spend is really impressive, but thats mostly down to Barca being complete idiots and paying 140 million for Coutinho and Liverpool somehow managing to get decent fees for cloggers like Benteke, Allen and Sakho. Pep has spent over 500 million on just defenders and has a net spend of around
565 million total.
So hypothetical scenario: Nagelsmann takes over next season and Martial and De Gea keeps up their rotten form. Does he not deserve to get some new players or do we just keep throwing vague claims at him about "coaching" and "tactics"?
Edit: And i dont buy this whole notion that each manager needs to get "his players". Good players are good players. If suddenly Klopp took over us, its not like he was going to be completely clueless on how to use Bruno and Rashford and its not like De Gea suddenly was going to start being brave in the box
