When the Reds have invested heavily into the squad, Klopp’s signings have been flawless. The team’s most expensive assets were questioned; Salah was overlooked because of his first stint in the Premier League, Virgil van Dijk’s wasn’t worth £75m, Alisson ‘didn’t look anything special’ at the World Cup.
The drama which either Neymar or Mbappe could bring to Merseyside is not worth the gain. Of course, their talent is undeniable, but neither fit into how the Reds have built the team. Mbappe’s disrespect shown to Thomas Tuchel is enough to see that he has a mentality which wouldn’t work at Liverpool.Signing a player of such stature would also mean changes to Klopp’s system. There is no need for Liverpool to move away from a favoured 4-3-3 setup which has helped the club go on the longest unbeaten PL run in history. Accommodating a marquee signing would be at the needless expense of a starter in midfield or attack.The Reds should stick to FSG’s current strategy of buying players who can be crafted into stars. Sadio Mane and Mo Salah were not world-class players when they first arrived, but have maximised their potential at Anfield. Likewise, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain played at wing-back for Arsenal before shining in Liverpool’s midfield. It’s a strategy which has served the club well, and a catalyst for players who were once overlooked to blossom on Merseyside.Takumi Minamino’s arrival from Salzburg shows the coaching staff are focused on developing the right players. As long as Jurgen Klopp is at the helm, there is no need to target either of Paris Saint-Germain’s biggest talents.By Adam Brown – @AdamMNViNot a good look from Kylian Mbappé this afternoon as he appeared to ignore Thomas Tuchel when being substituted off. pic.twitter.com/H1nYqLEn04
