We could have the worlds biggest transfer budget but we won't get the 'A' list of players such as Van Dijk - as clubs such as Man City, Chelsea etc. would currently represent more attractive choices to such players - more quality players to play with, greater chance to win trophies, bigger salaries etc. etc.
Champions league or not, I think we'll do business but on th 'B' list of players where we will be relying on Klopp to unearth some hidden treasures - these won't typically be household names and may not hit the ground running.
For LFC to break out this cycle of not being able to bring in th one or two world class players who can then inspire others to join which we have to pay a stupidly high salary so that it impacts the top end player choices.
Look forward to the summer transfer window, just keep your expectations in check.
