Liverpool FC has been in dire need of midfielders such as Joe Allen, the Welshman who plays for Stoke City at the moment, left the Reds after the Euros but Jurgen Klopp didn't really want him to leave the club. He obviously wants him to come back in the future, the press recently asked him if he missed the Welshman and describes his best characteristics as the kind of midfielder that he is.
He said: "Do we miss Joe Allen? Yes. Unbelievable, strong player. We all knew his quality. He's having a big impact at Stoke. It was a common decision. It was clear after the last two years, not being a fixed line-up player. He plays a little more offensive now than what he would for us. If Liverpool sells a player, then they have to have a real impact at their next club. If you leave us, okay, then show us what you've learned."
About signing new players in January, Klopp added: "I think I have said one or two times, if there is something for us that makes sense and is possible, because there are other clubs, then it’s what we always do. I can say we don't want to convince players with money. We want to have players ready to develop. We have already very good players, and if somebody wants to be a part of this team then they're very welcome.
"I think usually in winter if you don't have the biggest injury issues in the world, and you need players for building a line-up then you should only do things you'd do in the summer. We always have an eye on the market but first of all I am really happy with this squad. We still have options. From the beginning of January Sadio will not be involved, but we still have options. We knew before with Sadio, it was part of the deal."
