To not have things in order, this isn't on the owners either. It's the structure of the club, what are Liverpool doing? They're not spending the same money as the other teams, and in the space of 18 months, Liverpool have had four directors of football. "They haven't got deals done - that's your job in that role. The two players they bought had buyout clauses, there's no negotiations in those! They can't get deals over the line, they don't pay the certain amounts. It's an absolute mess, it's a joke." Liverpool's need for a central midfielder dates back to last summer but, after they allowed a host of options in that area to leave the club, they remain short of quality.

Jamie Carragher has claimed the lack of stability in Liverpool’s recruitment team is a major reason for their failures in the transfer market.
The Reds were often hailed for their recruitment as they won honours without breaking the bank in the transfer market. They negotiated new arrivals with minimal fuss, often getting deals done quickly, but this summer they’ve endured a tricky window.
Michael Edwards was the man behind the scenes during their Premier League and Champions League successes, but since his departure several men have held the role, including current sporting director Jorge Schmadtke.
Moises Caicedo was the subject of a £110m bid, but has since rejected a move to the Reds in favour of a switch to Chelsea. The Blues could also beat Liverpool to Southampton’s Romeo Lavia, who the Anfield outfit refused to pay £50m for before returning with a £60m bid, when it emerged they would miss out on Caicedo.
