klopp on the importance of champions league for signing players- "If a player only wants to come to us to play in the Champions League, short-term ideas are always silly," Klopp told the Liverpool Echo.
“I don't like this. I don't like it when players say 'ah, but you're not in the Champions League'. We want to GET you because we want to play in the Champions League.
“If you don't want to help us, and want to jump on a running train, then go somewhere else.
“You need the right mentality and quality. That's how it is. If there's a player who won't join Liverpool because we don't play in the Champions League or will only join because we're in the Champions League, that's not for us."
Loic Remy springs to mind when reading this. He joined the Scum because he wanted to play in the Champions League. Wow, I typed in Chel and got Scum show up. Must be my short coding on this keyboard.
