Questions have been asked about Jurgen Klopp’s loyalty, with some suggesting it may be too much. The Late Challenge podcast recently discussed the Reds’ current situation and the transfer strategy, with Gareth Roberts noting that the club had allowed the expectation to grow that Jude Bellingham was coming and now fans are kicking off. Paul Cope added that while FSG have been stingy and conservative with their money, there should be some criticism of Klopp for being too loyal to players. It’s a full-circle situation for Liverpool, who knew they needed a midfielder last summer but didn’t buy one with the idea Bellingham was No. 1. Now, with no sporting director lined up nor investment confirmed, the club is in new territory and must get their ducks in a row quickly.

The Late Challenge podcast discussed Liverpool’s current situation and transfer strategy, noting that the club had allowed the expectation to grow that Jude Bellingham was coming, only to drop out of the race due to prohibitive figures and lack of guarantees. Gareth Roberts argued that FSG have been stingy and conservative with their money, while Paul Cope added that there should be some criticism of Klopp for being too loyal to players. This is a full-circle situation for Liverpool, who knew they needed a midfielder last summer but didn’t buy one with the idea Bellingham was No. 1.
