Jamie Carragher sympathizes with Liverpool fans’ frustrations over the club’s indolence in January, he is also keen to point out that club owners are happy to wait for a specific target to become available in a model that is the envy of Europe.
“From a medical point of view, they had a very bad season in terms of injuries,” Carragher said.
“Sometimes it can be bad luck, sometimes it’s the way injuries are handled, who’s involved. They didn’t replace a doctor (Jim Moxon) who left over the summer, whether that was a problem or not. , i’m not sure but they were really unlucky and they have to sort this medical service out somehow. “In terms of transfers, I can understand the frustration of Liverpool fans when they see other clubs spending money left, right and centre, and with Liverpool not signing anyone, it almost looks like they have this fight on the top four dropped.
“But what I never wanted my club to be the way it was when I was a player is a bit of a scattergun that repeatedly freaks out as Liverpool have been a role model for other clubs in the world. over the past four or five years, it was across Europe wanted to follow.
“And what they don’t do is freak out in the transfer market and I think Jurgen Klopp has shown that before, when he’s had some really successful purchases, he’s picked up like Virgil van Dijk. he was waiting for before going to look for it.
“If Liverpool don’t bring players in now because they don’t have the money or the player Klopp wants isn’t there, that’s a completely different argument that we don’t know, we’re not. unaware of this information.”
However, Carragher says it is unfair to criticize FSG for not strengthening in midfield when they tried to bring in Aurelien Tchouameni from Monaco and that they would have changed to Jude Bellingham if Borussia Dortmund had expressed interest last summer in selling the England international.

As a result, the former Liverpool defender believes the Americans will make up for their recent lack of spending by pumping in some cash this summer, with the Reds still pushing to sign Bellingham.
“I’m confident Liverpool are going to have a great summer, I’m sure a lot of fans want them to have a great January, but I don’t want Liverpool going back to what they were doing when I was playing there. , where you would buy players and hope it works,” he added.
“It doesn’t mean I’m right or the club is right about Klopp, but I think it happened last summer and they knew exactly what they needed to do in midfield and they tried to sign Tchouameni and he left for Real Madrid.
“I think Liverpool were on the scene last summer, they almost won four trophies and they were in the Champions League final, so they probably thought they had to be special for us to have a player and they felt that Tchouameni was the player and he is going to Real Madrid.
“It is obvious that they have been working on the transfer of Jude Bellingham for a long time. They [Dortmund] didn’t want to sell him last summer, so maybe they thought we should wait until the summer and the midfielder could help us.
