I just keep loving Klopp, more and more.
This guy has it spot on.
He has more brains in his big toe, than Rodgers has in his entire brain.
If Johnny Come Lately doesn't fancy coming to Liverpool, and isntead wants the big lights of Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester or London, then excellent - we dodged a bulle.t.
I don't want airheads, egos, arrogance, and sh,teheads around the club.
The players he had at Dortmund all appeared to love being at the club. There were very few that once they'd become 'names', then agitated to leave. He bought quite a few players into the club, and apart from probably Mkhitaryan, none of them were 'names' to any degree at all.
It's interesting when you look at their squad, pretty much all those who have become household names, are still their. That says a lot about the club itself.
I think it's more befitting of who we are as a club, that we get back to making our own 'stars', rather than signing other people's. By altering the mindset of the club and the transfer policy, I think we'll also massively lessen the risk of what we've done too much of recently, and that's by 'flavours of the month', players who are having a good season (with no previous record of such) or who have had one good season.
Since our last title our best and most influential players have been those that weren't huge names - they were either unknowns like Hyypia, or those who were just starting to possibly suggest great things like Alonso or Suarez.
When you look at the likes of City, despite their collection of names throughout the squad, not just the first eleven, they have under performed for what you would think would be the 'collective level' when you looked at all those individuals.
