Sounds like we’re getting these two in now and will wait until later in the window to do other deals. Wouldn’t be the end of the world as long as we have new CMs for the season starting.

Although going by his story and tweet the bit about us playing a long game on transfers seems to be his own conjecture.

There was an interesting debate here on GOT recently about the role of LFC's transfer policy in getting to the top
and how selling Suarez among others turned out well. LFC trusted Klopp to buy well and he did building
up the team's strength in all positions.

If EFC can get a shed-load of money from Barca that will help with FPP and will allow the manager to plan.

Getting to the top will take time and lots of money especially as the club does not have a bunch of exciting
youngsters ready to step up. If Koeman pays over the odds for a player the smart move might be to take that money. .

Only works if your recruitment is absolutely top notch. Otherwise you end up losing a good player and replacing them with 2 or 3 players who don't add much either short or long term. Probably need 2 players to turn out the same level as the player you sold for it to truly work.

The other issue with comparing to the RS' recruitment is that they are able to attract a much better pool of players than ourselves. Whether that's attracting promising youngsters (Gomez, Elliott) or picking up rising stars (Mane, VvD) from mid-table Premier League clubs. They can also pick off the best players at teams who aren't quite at the top of one of the Top 5 leagues - Fabinho from Monaco, Alisson and Salah from Roma, Keita from RBL, Matip from Schalke.

Selling Coutinho and, to some degree, Suarez worked for them since they re-invested well. It's an approach worth considering but it's also worth contemplating how it's probably easier for them lot to do this with success than ourselves. It's not impossible, as we've seen how the likes of Lyon, RBL etc.. have models to sell to re-invest. Difference here is that these clubs can generally offer CL, or at least European football, every season to attract players. Southampton were probably the best example in the Premier League over the last 5-10 years. However, not sure we want to aspire to be the next Southampton.
