Jurgen Klopp Press Conference: Key Takeaways, Comments from Liverpool Unveiling

New Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp addressed the assembled media for the first time on Friday, revealing he will have the final word on transfers. The German also branded himself as the "Normal One" and insisted he is not looking to measure himself against the club’s previous managerial greats.

Klopp was confirmed as the Reds chief on Thursday, signing a three-year deal at Anfield. The new boss was quizzed on Liverpool’s much-maligned transfer committee early on in the press conference. While Klopp insisted the committee will play an important role, he was adamant he will have the final say on which players go in and out the door at Anfield.
