An exasperated Jurgen Klopp hit back at a journalist for asking about Liverpool's transfer activity this month.
The German became irate before speaking for two minutes about his surprise that the question was even asked.
Replying to Carl Markham, a journalist with the Press Association, Klopp retorted: 'Carl, really, honestly Carl, I have done, I think, six-thousand press conferences with Liverpool and you were pretty much part of 5,999 in different seats obviously but you were always there. Now I have to tell you again the money story? Really? Really? I have to tell it again?
'What could be the reason that we have money like crazy but we don't buy the players even when they are available? That's what you think of me? After all the years? So why are you asking the question when the answer lies on the table? I really don't understand that, I really don't that.
'You stand here for... you drove here, I don't know how you came here, you stand here and this is the question you have. You know the answer. And if I would answer and say "no, no, no, we have money in the bank, massively, we don't know what to do with it... the players are all there, nah we don't do that, nah".
'But we have, on top of that, the problem that at the moment four of our offensive players are injured. If we buy another one, then they come back, thankfully, not tomorrow but they will come back: Darwin soon, the others a little bit later... they come back and we have seven strikers then.
He went on: 'We couldn't even put them all on the Champions League list! There are too many, we have to make a decision... who goes on, the new one, the others and stuff like this. It's just not that easy.
'You cannot solve the problem, especially with injuries. That's the main big, big shadow over all of us, because you cannot solve it just in the transfer window. Sometimes you have to, it's usually we just have to get through until the boys come back and then you can use them again.
'So that's how it is. In our best season we didn't have a lot of injuries and it was much more intense than it is now. But now we have them and now we have to deal with them.
'But the transfer market is not for us in this moment the solution. But if something is out there and somebody tells me, yes, we will do it. But for this specific situation I don't think it will happen.'
