boss, but Jamie Carragher thinks funds may be tight
this season for strengthening.
Jamie Carragher thinks Jurgen Klopp may have to wait until the
close-season before he has the money needed to land major
transfer targets as he edges closer to becoming the next
Liverpool manager.
Klopp arrived on Merseyside on Thursday, with Liverpool
expected to confirm the former Borussia Dortmund coach as
successor to Brendan Rodgers at a news conference called for
Friday.
Speculation of Dortmund players past and present being
reunited with Klopp at Anfield is likely to snowball, but
Carragher has warned that the German could need to be patient
after Rodgers spent heavily in the build-up to this season.
"I don't know if he's been promised funds, but Liverpool spent a
lot of money in the summer," the former Liverpool defender told
Sky Sports.
"The owners are not Roman Abramovich types. A lot of the
club's money for this season may have been spent, and it may
be next summer when he can get the players he really wants.
"January is always a difficult time.
"But if he can get one or two players in that he thinks can push
Liverpool on, I'm sure the club would allow him to do that.
"When a manager is talking to a club about joining, he
absolutely wants to bring in his own players because things
have not been going well."
Carragher, now a media pundit after hanging up his boots, sung
the praises of Klopp, as he added: "He's certainly come with a
fantastic CV."
