Speaking earlier this season, he said: "Do I feel I've been backed? Yes. This summer? What does it mean 'backed'? Look what I don't like about it now is if I say 'I am not sure' then we make a massive thing about it. But it's not [a big deal], I realise as well that it is always like this. Is it always easy? No. Do we discuss this kind of thing in public? Of course not. Why would we? We don't start now with it.

"So let me say it like this, from time to time I would be ready to risk a bit more but like I say I don't decide that. And that is then fine because I am like this, we try everything until someone tells us 'here's now the deadline, we can't do anything anymore' and that we can't. And in that moment, I don't think one second back and that's what we all have to do now."

dari penyataannya klopp mungkin sedikit menggambarkan, doi backup sama duid transfer, yang jadi masalah, nego dan cari pemainnya yg lama, edward cabut makin lama aja nyari pemainnya. mngkn ini tamparan buat manajemen dimana harusnya nego dan transfer target pemain jelas dari jauh2 hari. dan dia blng not decide that. ini agak bingung sih pernyataannya, itu soal transfer ato masalah deadline yg mepet? ntah lah
