I think he is just trying to maintain or lift spirits up within the camp and avoid the meltdown that followed the summer of 2018.
Jose chose to be negative and it cost the club dearly at the end whilst Ole is trying to maintain a positive spin on things so that players don't lose their heads, it affects them too.
Uproar about Ole being happy with the squad..
This will be the same Ole if he gets the sack will be moaning that he wasn't backed by the board.
Ole or Redcafe?
That's brutal from Norwich to deny him a move to Barca from the Championship, seems like a fair bid
I can understand that Ole does not want to destroy the confidence of some players, but those players will be well aware that he doesn't trust them, see the end of last season. The board should be giving him more backing. The club will have lost a lot of money, but you would think the could still find more money than for one transfer.
Agree. That's why si think there shouldn't be an uproar cause Ole trusts his squad. He certainly won't say hey majority of you is shit. And of course he knows we need additions and in the same presser he said we're working on deals. If we get Telles and Sancho suddenly it's a very good window.
I dont miss Jose thats for sure but he did put pressure on the board for signings and is doing the same at spurs. I do prefer ole obviously but he just doesn't seem the type to demand like that. He does appear from the outside at least to be the ideal manager for the people above him who are business first driven.
So Barca after a right back who can’t really defend very well? Plus they’re looking to move on one of their right back options so they have funds and then go and buy another player who has similar issues with his game? Sounds legit
Liverpool are only paying 4 million this year for Jota.
I said that before the window started, that Ed would use Covid as an excuse. Sadly I got sucked in by the rumours and muppets and now I feel frustrated and disappointed like everyone else
BM will make him a star
There’s demanding and seeking assurances. Jose takes it to another extreme then throws his toys out of the pram.
Which was working until:
1) Tottenham gazumped (rightfully since buyback clause isn't worth it) to Reguillon
2) Liverpool started spending
3) Aston Villa and Newcastle (others too) spending more than us
I'm glad Ole isn't a Mourinho here and will complain and possibly derail the season before it starts, but if it all goes wrong, I hope he's the first one to call out the Glazers/Woodward.
Talk like that will be your undoing Mr. Solskjaer. I'd prefer you say nothing rather than set youself up like this.
I was only messing mate - but I’m glad I asked! You’ve described the caf and our general fan base really well right now.
Always a panic afternoon away from signing Khedira on a free or Douglas Costa with an option to buy, though... still two loooong weeks to go.
I mean, in many ways, he’s not wrong. The path to success is not only lined with new signings. You need organic improvement as well.
We don’t want your rejects*Always a panic afternoon away from signing Khedira on a free or Douglas Costa with an option to buy, though... still two loooong weeks to go.
*see you in 2 weeks
One of te things I love about Ole is his optimism and positivity...but get outta here. Even he has failed miserably with trying to put a positive spin on obviously being let down in transfer market it appears. Get fitter....wtf? It is as plain as day surely to anyone that with just the VDB aquisition this current squad is ill equipped to compete for major honours over a conjested season
And only 5 million up front for Thiago according to The Athletic
God seeing Souness tomorrow waxing lyrical over him is gonna be bloody hard to take
I praise Liverpool a little for getting these good financial deals, but what it really comes down to is the selling clubs being reasonable during a difficult time.
Unfortunately we drew the short straw with the one club that is choosing to play hard ball.

Ajax were accommodating as well. Dortmund on the other hand...
I wish they come after one of our players in the future and Ed tells them to go and do one. Hire agents, slow down the deal as much as possible etc etc.
Yes, I am salty.
Just specific to this deal how can you say it's a great piece of business , this place would have been up in arms had we been paying this much for Jota and without knowing the complete structure of the deal it's hard to judge whether it's a master stroke or not, maybe they agreed to pay rest of it before end of second year suddenly it doesn't seem that great see what I did there they are only reporting what makes Liverpool look better not the complete details not much to see here. Thing is when you are succeeding on the pitch everything seem to perceived better than it actually is.

Bid for Jota when we need a winger and CB? From Sancho to Jota, we really are the shits. Jota wouldn't get in City, Madrids side etc. Just another sign how far we've fallen
They're quoted to be paying £4m this year for a player who has more than showed his quality in a high-performing, high-achieving Wolves team. Every time I've seen him play, he's looked like someone more than capable of stepping up to a bigger team in the league.
He's being brought in as backup to the most deadly front three in the league over the last few seasons, with no immediate pressure to perform and a level beyond his current standing. He'll develop and learn as he enters his prime, and clearly matches the mentality Klopp looks for.
It's a very good signing.
Just seen the news that we signed some 15 year old Norwegian striker.
No links?
"Put a challenge up for us". Does he think that we won the league last season? Doesn't he know that we were 33 points off from the winners and barely made it into the CL?
Perfect manager for the Glazers.
Not really mate for me.
We are after a player where the selling club holds all the cards.
I'd expect nothing less really.
BIGGEST CLUB IN THE WORLD
Most transfer fees are payed in Installments maybe because they are paying so little in first year they also agreed to pay rest earlier but nobody is mentioning the complete details only the details which makes Liverpool looks like master negotiators which may or may not be case depending on actual structure of the deal .
And don't you thing 41 m is quite expensive for a backup this deals seems more like Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain than Mane or Salah.
It was a pretty pathetic statement to be fair. As much as I love Ole.
