John Henry likely had a sense of deja vu as the transfer window closed on Tuesday evening.
Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group incurred the ire of some Reds fans for their lack of business in January, their failures to add to the deficiencies that are perceived to lie in midfield and the need to breathe some new life into a faltering campaign were not well received among many Reds.
Liverpool were actually out of the blocks quickly in January as they landed Dutch forward Cody Gakpo from PSV Eindhoven for a guaranteed sum of around £37m, but any hope that deal would be added to with further signings for Jurgen Klopp's side dissipated before all hope was gone as the clock ticked down on the final day of the window. It shouldn't have been a surprise, really, with Klopp himself having said numerous times that there would likely be no new arrivals.
