Those were all wanted out players, and most left in his first-to-second year in charge because he needed space to build his team, and some of the players he bought were sold for less than the amount they were bought for, such as Xherdan Shaqiri, who was bought for £13.5m and sold for £9m, Georginio Wijnaldum, who was bought for £25m and sold for £0m, and Marko Gruji, who was bought for £5.1m, sold for £10.5m, Stop acting as if Klopp and Pep are not buying the league with money. Tuchel spent £0m and won three trophies, three fewer than Klopp won in five years. How can someone buy 43 players in less than 7 years? Any coach would perform well with such budget and support.
There is no doubt that he has done an excellent job in leading Liverpool to their first EPL title in 30 years and bringing the club back to prominence after falling behind Chelsea and Manchester United for many years, but the truth must be said that that is what football is all about.
*19 league cups.
Coutinho was sold for £142,000,000 in 2018. We bought Van Dijk & Alisson with that money, that was the best transfer business we’ve done in a long time. Those two players are the ones who made a hood team, a great team
Without a doubt, I remember. I was part of the anti-Van dijk movement when he signed for £75 million from Southampton. I thought it was a lot of money for someone who only had one good season at Southampton. I never imagined he'd be the best defender in the league, contributing to Liverpool's success in 2019 more than any other player. I must admit he was a steal at that price and he's worth more than that now. I'm just worried about his age now. Do you think he can do another good 4 years?
Also, I do not deny Tuchel is a top manager. He hasn’t done too well this season though, what was that Lukaku signing all about? I do worry for Chelsea what will happen with the ownership situation.
The UK government is attempting to sabotage our transfer business once more, but according to a report I received this morning, they have been given the go-ahead, and the official announcement is scheduled for Sunday. Todd appears to be a cool dude with winning ambitions.
