Que ?! Mane, Salah, and arguably both Matip and Wijnaldum are good buys if not star quality.He never seems to buy the right quality, he's clearly a fully paid up member of the 'value' club. Think his love for improving players via training is what will ultimately cost him his job.
They would have been ecstatic if the tea lady had taken over from Moyes. Really not setting the bar high with that comparison.Fact is 99% of United's fans would have been ecstatic with Klopp taking over after Moyes. It would have been interesting to see how he would have done. Defending would have been better than in Liverpool, because he already had a better base in DDG, Smalling, Jones..
But I'm happy with Jose and I rather have him than the obnoxious cnut Klopp
Given how revealing that article claims to be, it doesn't go as far as to say Klopp turned down City for Liverpool.In all seriousness though, I know you guys hate Klopp but you have to admit it is refreshing that a coach would turn down an oil club like city to manage a sleeping giant like Liverpool instead
Exciting based on what? I doubt many would find us exciting when we struggle against the smaller teams and beat the big teams, arguably what we did under lvg.Adult Disneyworld
I do wonder how our football might have been played under Klopp. Think he could have done quite well here. More exciting than LVG at least.
Wasn't there a report saying he wanted to be manager of us a while ago?
Either way I don't believe the story, no way would he have turned us down if he was offered the job.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...Jurgen-Klopp-dreamed-managing-Man-United.htmlLiverpool manager Jurgen Klopp used to 'dream' about managing Manchester United, according to a long-standing associate of the German coach.
Eckhard Krautzun managed Klopp at German club Mainz at the turn of the Millenium and the Liverpool coach succeeded him in 2001.
Krautzun has remained in touch with Klopp ever since and he has revealed that the German confided in him that his ultimate ambition would be to manage Manchester United.
The buck stops with mane and Salah, which actually shows he's good with expensive signings. The others range from decent players to pure trash. Nowhere near what is needed at the level where Poor are trying to get to.Que ?! Mane, Salah, and arguably both Matip and Wijnaldum are good buys if not star quality.
He's bought 15 players, 6 of whom are youngsters for the future and 2 'golden oldies' for backup.
The small buys add up and at the end, end up costing you as much as one quality player would. That's all he should've done.You can't blame him either. Its not like he is been backed like pep and still persisting with his love to develop players.
Buying a 'quality player' as you put it, doesn't guarantee anything as has been proven many times - United having had more than their fair share of those for big money. And not every player you buy can be top notch as most title winning teams prove.The buck stops with mane and Salah, which actually shows he's good with expensive signings.

What’s so embarrassing about it? Perfectly fine statement, even when taken totally out of context.I take this with a pinch of salt but it definitely sounds like the type of soundbite Woodward would roll out. I appreciate Ed's work in completing the signings he has over the past couple of years but as a person, he's a cringe-worthy plank of a bloke, so hard to like. I can totally see him saying this and it's pretty embarrassing really.
Where's the logic in that? Klopp; a manager who has won pretty much nothing with Liverpool, failed to address their most obvious weakness and a master at losing finals. Mourinho; a manager who has won it all and won 2 cups in his first season at United.I bet you any money that Klopp would have been more successful faster for you guys than Mourinho (not saying Mourinho isn't a top coach though). If Klopp was at UTD he would have gotten all his top signings like Keita, VVD, Mane, Pogba(?) etc
Edit for below question (3post limit): Lets be honest, VVD was one of the best defenders in the PL for the last 2 years and anyone that has watched naby Keita knows he is in that top bracket with Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele etc and is a very unique player (I think he would have fit very well at utd)
He won us 2 trophies in his first seasonI bet you any money that Klopp would have been more successful faster for you guys than Mourinho (not saying Mourinho isn't a top coach though). If Klopp was at UTD he would have gotten all his top signings like Keita, VVD, Mane, Pogba(?) etc
So does Moyes. He did take the job though.He does have an unhealthy obsession with United, maybe he regrets not taking the job?
Of course he would.I bet you any money that Klopp would have been more successful faster for you guys than Mourinho (not saying Mourinho isn't a top coach though). If Klopp was at UTD he would have gotten all his top signings like Keita, VVD, Mane, Pogba(?) etc
Well, Klopp was a popular man to take over from SAF too. From what I read in this forum, Klopp's freshness and attacking football was needed here more than past it and pragmatic Jose. Hindsight 20/20They would have been ecstatic if the tea lady had taken over from Moyes. Really not setting the bar high with that comparison.
With the direction this league is heading in, having mediocre players isn't going to get anyone anywhere and Pool are paying for it right now cause they couldn't sign the right quality of defensive players including a holding mid.Buying a 'quality player' as you put it, doesn't guarantee anything as has been proven many times - United having had more than their fair share of those for big money. And not every player you buy can be top notch as most title winning teams prove.
Liverpool also look clueless when teams park the bus. You would think Liverpool games end 5-5 every week the way people go on about their attack and defence.The main thing United fans moan about on this forum is that their team is static and clueless going forward. Klopp would improve that, but at the expense of De Gea being a lot more busy.
He does have an unhealthy obsession with United, maybe he regrets not taking the job?
So does Moyes. He did take the job though.
I think opinions don't change that fast.I hate the Utd fans wanted him at the time argument.
A lot of fans wanted Renato Sanches and for us to stay away from Matic last summer, opinions change.
I think opinions don't change that fast.
Well playedI think opinions change really fast.
I completely disagreeI think opinions change really fast.
Pretty much my feelings on Klopp tbh. Went from wanting him to manage us a few years ago to now not actually being able to stand him at all, can't even listen to him speak now.Would have loved Klopp (or anyone) after Moyes, and still think he would have done really well here. I loved the guy.
Now, I don't know if it's the Liverpool thing or not, but I really can't stand him anymore.
I couldn't stand him even when he was at Dortmund, he has always been a loony tramp, with his teeth and beard and antics on the touchline, but I did want him because of what he had achieved at Dortmund.Pretty much my feelings on Klopp tbh. Went from wanting him to manage us a few years ago to now not actually being able to stand him at all, can't even listen to him speak now.
Absolutely, as evidenced by the great song we had for Moyes before it went tits up:This place had a real hard-on for Klopp around that time, IIRC.
