I also would like to see our chief scout - the youngster Barry Hunter moved on.
It feels like we are relying on Klopp and his German contacts, for all the great lads we are picking up in Germany and nearby.
Are we missing a trick here:
Leicester in talks with Eduardo Macia about replacing former head of recruitment Steve Walshhttp://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/09/05/leicester-in-talks-with-eduardo-macia-about-replacing-former-hea/I wonder whether Klopp is giving the recruitment processes at the club a chance to prove things one way or the other.
There's an interview with him re the academy setup and staff where he says he'd rather wait and see how things are working and then make decisions, rather than come in and just change things anyway. I wonder whether he's doing that with the recruitment side too.
With a six year contract it gives him the opportunity to take whatever length of time, whether short or long, to formulate things and alter or keep as, as he sees best, but without the need to make over hasty decisions.
Like you say, Dude, there is a certain similarity with Taggart, and giving Taggart the time he needed certainly proved fruitful.
We've tried the 'throwing money at it' route, and whilst it may have been the wrong people spending it rather than the wrong method, let's see if we can do it a more organic way, with Klopp's ideas of there being no shortcut, or ultimately better way than working with your players, and developing a team by developing your players, out of which a team develops.
