I have been around during the dark era. It's not an excuse to not be able to criticize some current football decisions. I have seen it all too.
I know exactly the feeling and that is why I feel lucky to have currently one of the most exciting team in the history of the game.
That being said, even with all these great qualities the team have underperformed in term of silverware because they are competing against the best team ever in the premier league era. They have fallen short by mere points to win the league and people are mad or find it funny that I would like a top midfielder now to compete now instead of waiting and pray for Bellingham next summer (which if I wanted to be even more cynical, I would even add that I doubt that we get him when other richer clubs start sniffing around next summer as LFC never pay above the odd in term of wage package). I never in my life criticized the current player commitment and their desire or ambition. I do have some criticism on the younger players in the team and their quality and academy players who more often than not get overly praised for making simple plays but in general I am very open to give academy players their chance. I will always back Klopp and his decision and support the team.
So, in general, I am sorry to everybody around here that I have offended because of my dissapointement of the recruitement team of LFC and that I questionned their ambition on winning now and for not getting proper depth at an area that the team have struggled sometime the past year and that we have many injury prone players at that specific position. (Ox, Keita, Hendo, Thiago)
I am not even asking for record breaking fees either. Getting Carvalho/Ramsey was smart and very good. I would have loved for instance Carney Chukwuemeka
As for the financial bullshit that LFC have no money, I work in finance for a living and I constantly analyzed their financial statement in my free time for the past few years. They are about to finish this year paying off the installment for the key players of the squad (VVD, Ox, Salah, Alisson, Fabinho, Keita, etc.) all of them are about to be off the book (cash flow/payments and amortization). They have the money available for sure, even after Darwin record purchase. They voluntary refuse to invest at this moment. We will see if they will before the deadline but my expectations of them getting another player are very low.
