LONG THREAD : Success doesn& #39;t come with signings alone, it takes a huge team-effort, patience, time and the trust of the board to win major trophies. Lampard will need time for the players to get going and it won& #39;t come easily.

After Chelsea won the UCL in 2012, RDM was backed with Hazard, Oscar, Moses, Azpi & Ba to name a few, all were decent ones but unproven at the highest level. The result? We failed at the group stage & RDM was sacked. Call it ruthless or just the backing of the board was missing.
For instance Guardiola joined City in 2016 & the first time ever he went trophyless. Now I& #39;m not comparing Guardiola & RDM but shows City hired him with a long term project in mind & backed him next season with Walker, Mendy, Ederson, Bernardo Silva & he won the league that year.
Guardiola had vision & knew what he wanted. Apart from Mourinho& #39;s UTD no one could compete with that squad. Chelsea& #39;s off-field distractions were huge. Klopp was with Liverpool since 2 years but lacked backing & Arsenal were still heavily relying on Ozil & Sanchez. No competition
Klopp signed for Liverpool in Oct, 2015 & the club renewed his contract till 2022, post an impressive EL campaign where they lost to Sevilla 3-1 in the final. Imagine a manager getting a contract extension for reaching a EL final at City, UTD or Chelsea. But he had a proven past.
Although LFC had plans & a top manager in Klopp, he groomed TAA & Robertson + buying the right players with the Coutinho money is a credit to their perseverance & getting Van Dijk & Alisson was no joke. Add Salah Mane and Firmino to that? Result? A force in Europe! Domination

Even a single World Class signing can do wonders for the team. Imagine Arsenal w/o Auba& #39;s goals or United last season w/o Bruno& #39;s impact, Ibra at Milan or Lukaku& #39;s introduction at Inter. If you don& #39;t agree, look at Barcelona after Neymar or Neuer& #39;s impact in this season.
