Liverpool signed left-back Konstantinos Tsimikas earlier this month, but have yet to go a step further, despite repeated ties with Bayern Munich’s UEFA Champions League champion Thiago Alcántara.
However, the only senior signings from the Reds at the start of last season, in which they won the Premier League title, were goalkeepers Adrian and Andy Lonergan.
Despite repeated calls from Anfield fans to bring in a variety of new names, Klopp, who has ruled out a sensational bet on Lionel Messi, feels his track record is justified.
“We can’t just bring in five new players because people want to be busy with it,” he told reporters.
“Every year has been more or less the same, I don’t think any year has bought enough players in the transfer window for everyone.
“It was always, ‘ah, Jurgen, we need another.’ So far, it has worked. That doesn’t mean it will work forever.
“We made mistakes and we will make mistakes, but it really is about what kind of mood we can create again for this season.
“It’s about creating a unit that is absolutely hard to beat, about being a proper team that can be ready to suffer for each other, and not who to buy from at a very strange time in our lives.”
In fact, Klopp says he can’t make bold demands on Liverpool’s board, but he’s happy with the setup in Merseyside.
He added: “We never had that relationship where I go with Michael [Edwards, sporting director] and tell him the money I need and without which we cannot survive or whatever.
“I’m pretty clear about the situation, but that’s it. There are other clubs that have different policies, obviously, and that’s what you have to accept.
“Last year and the year before, it was pretty much the same. Actually, it didn’t hurt us, it’s just our way. I can’t change it and I don’t want to.
“I knew that when I got here, that this is the way things go, and nothing changed. Only times change and especially now. As a sensible person, I know this is not the best time of our lives, obviously.
“But we are in a good place and we have a good team and we talk about motivation, so that is of course my job and the job of the guys and the fans, even when they are not in the stadium. We can create a feeling. together “.
