They have thrown, usually someone else's, money at some clever buys since Klopp arrived. That is the secret of their success. Sell very high and then buy well with the proceeds. Something until recently they haven't been good at.

I agree - that’s why I think it was a fantastic piece of business. He’s a top player available for a fee you can’t buy a youth prospect in England for nowadays. Wasn’t meant to be sarcastic

Why are they able to sign players so early? I thought the window is only opening next month?

He won't officially sign until Jan, but deals are agreed anytime.

Apparently signed already though. Can't be wearing the jersey without making official?

What we know as the "transfer window" is technically the player registration window. When club A signs a player from club B, the player registration is transferred in the FIFA transfer database from club B to A. That can only happen in the summer and in January. A player can sign a contract and train with a club at any time once both clubs agree. Given that the Austrian league is on a winter break until February, Salzburg probably allowed Minamino to join Liverpool now as their players likely aren't even training.

You can sign players any time. You just can't register them until the window opens.

Nobody else think that there’s something fishy with that Liverpool deal? So Salzburg needed to beat Liverpool to go through the champions league and send Liverpool out. Liverpool win easily enough. A week later Liverpool announce that they have signed one of their main attackers.

He had a release clause, anyone could have trigered it.

He's wanted out ever since he broke into the first team. I'm only a casual watcher of Serie A but I get the impression he really hasn't kicked on as they'd hoped over there, he was just an extremely early developer.

For a bit of reflection here, he's still very young. He's 18 months younger than Alfie Whiteman and a month older than Brandon Austin.

he just signed a new extension.Runs out in 2021
on another note, he looks more destined (again) to sign for Juventus as a replacement for Buffon
