The Premier League has a shocking reversal!

Although Klopp is no longer the Liverpool coach, his words are still echoing at Anfield, especially as the Reds are deeply involved in the transfer market.

Liverpool are reportedly chasing Newcastle striker Isaac, even after they have spent £69 million to sign Ekitic and a staggering £116 million to sign Wiltz. This summer, the Reds have spent nearly £300 million...and are continuing.

However, what makes fans and commentators hotly discuss is not only the spending of money itself, but also the irony. Because when Klopp was still in the coaching bench, he often mocked those clubs that he thought had unlimited financial resources. Think about Manchester City, Newcastle and Paris Saint-Germain, which are teams with strong funders and huge budgets.

"No one can compete with Manchester City in this regard," Klopp said at the time. "You have the best team in the world and then buy the best forwards in the market. No matter how much you spend, you can do it."

He's more than that. "There are three clubs in the world that can do whatever they want financially. It's legal, no problem, but they can do whatever they want." He portrays Liverpool as the weaker side, a club that must be careful, tap into value, develop youth training, and be smart in the transfer market. "We have to consider 'we need this, we need that'... We have to pay attention to this place, make it younger, find a potential stock here, and poach a genius there."

And for Newcastle, Klopp admitted their financial resources with a little helpless emotion: "I heard that someone in Newcastle said 'This club has no upper limit'. Yes, that's right! He is absolutely right... Congratulations, some other clubs have upper limits."

Time Fast forward to today, Liverpool is spending record-breaking capital and trying to poach Isaac from Newcastle. If the deal is successful, the transfer fee is likely to be much more than £100 million. Therefore, these old remarks of Klopp were naturally revealed.

Of course, time has changed. Klopp is gone, Liverpool is the defending champion of the Premier League, and the Reds in the new era seem to be ready to maintain their peak position by spending money. But... I feel a little different when I listen to those words now, right?

Last summer? Only signed Mamadashvili (£25 million) and Chiesa (£10 million). This summer? It is real money for war funds. The world of football is changing rapidly, obviously, so is the budget.
