Well, what honest has said today is that it’s already a big summer because he’s extended the contracts of Muhammad Salah and Virgil van Djk, but as Patrick asked him, what he’s given a hint to is that he is talking about players coming in over the summer. Where do you think they they need to strengthen even though they’ve won the league by 15 points at this? That would mean nothing at the start next season. You know, the whole idea now for Liverpool is to kick on and back that up. We don’t want the league title and go that’s it and relax for a few years. That’s what all the great teams do in the top team. So, that’s the next challenge for Liverpool. They’ve already obviously got a goalkeeper coming in. You’re thinking maybe possibly a left back, a center half. There’s any injuries of course and uh potentially I would have say a striker, but obviously you got to go and get quality ones. So I still think the manager will definitely be looking at strengthening of course, but it’s easier said than done. But done a great position. They’ve won the league. It’ll be a big attraction to lots of players. He’s a quality manager. Players who might be interested in coming to Liverpool will be looking at the top players already staying there and committing to the club. So that’s all pluses. It’s no a matter of going out and getting these quality players that will improve Liverpool because I’ve said it many times before. Win the league’s fantastic. You’ve got to back it up again next year. As Roy said, Mama Dash is coming in in the summer. That’s already been been agreed. Where else do you think that they they need to strengthen either in terms of their their first choice or in terms of of backup? I think it’s you know certainly an attacker um for sure. I think a striker, you know, Jutter is is been the main man um as long as Luis Diaz and and Darwin, but I think that they probably do need another striker potentially backup for for Mo player who can learn from him um and and come in the squad on that right side. Um and then of course you’ve got to lock up Canate as well. I know that maybe we could talk about them potentially bringing in defensive help. Talked about last at the start of the season whether they’re going to bring in a defensive midfielder and Gra Burch has stepped up. So whether they’re still going to be thirsty for that, I’m unsure. But certainly, I think signing Kenate is very important cuz, you know, his partnership with Virgil Van Djke’s been key to the team success. So tying him down to a contract, I think, is is the next thing they they need to do imminently because we we’ve seen the talk this season around the contracts and we know Trent, Verge, uh Mo, we don’t want that going on with Canate next season. So I think that’s an important signing for the football club to to have that consistency in defense. It’s always good to have a partnership that you can rely on and trust and have that triangle with the goalkeeper. Um, so I think that’s an important signing for them. The name that keeps being linked with Liverpool and won’t go away is is Kirz from from Bournemouth. Um, is if that is a a signing that happens, is it somebody who comes in and plays instead of Andy Robertson or who shadows him throughout the the season and and learns from him in the way that that Daniel’s suggesting that somebody could come in and do that with Muhammad Salah? Yeah, I certainly wouldn’t write off Andy Robertson just yet. He’s still a top player, great professional. I would make sure that I keep him. Even if you do bring in Kirks and have a little bit of competition, no problem with that. Kirk has been amazing for Bournemouth. I’ve watched him since he first come in. He’s aggressive. He’s he’s like a younger version. And that’s going to be the key. I’m sure that, you know, Richard Hughes and Michael Le looking who can we now bring in because you’ve also got to think although it’s great news that Muhammad Salis sign and Virgil van Djk, it’s two-year contracts. Who can how can we find the next ones? How can we find the next commanding young center back? How can we find the next Mohamed Salah? That’s not going to be easy because replacing them, they’re fundamental. They’re so important for this team, but they are players that you got to look to do. Echion for Liverpool, a player, you know, as a striker. It hasn’t worked out for Darwin Nunes. It just I felt really positive about when he first signed that might be a player that we might see that surplus requirements at some point and then they bring in another striker in his place. But it doesn’t need major surgery. He just won the title. And isn’t it nice to be able to sit and talk about it rather than have to go and find those next stars of the future?

Another goal scorer, a centre half as backup, a left back. Also if the money is there a forward thinking midfielder. It’s mainly about improving the quality of the back up players.
sturridge what a waffler. hes too scared to say nunez and tsimikas should leave.
Daniel you're talking codswallop. Konate is absolute shite – get rid of him and buy a really good CB to partner Virgil.
To be honest this is a fair reflection on Liverpool's squad. It needs reinforcement and losing the odd game helps people realise it. Slot can build a great team and its an excellent foundation
Rb to take trents spot. Striker to replace jotta and nunez who will both leave and a CB which we should have got about 5 windows ago.
frimpong for rotation with bradley and also extra forward for last 15 min.
camavinga for rotation gravenberch and macca
kerkez for competition robertson
some cb because joe gomez/ Quansah are not it
Nunez selling and buy alvarez/Gyokorez/Isak or some other
Xavi Simons is also a good shout for buildig up for the future
Tactical genius by Arne Slot!!!
He used the bench/squad players to show where we need improvements.
We need a left back, CB replacement, number 6 (rotating gravenberch), a striker and MAYBE a right back but i trust bradley..
Notes: curtis jones, harvey elliott are awful starters. Even Jota is average and most of these are more effective off the bench…
I wish Nunez worked out but he just isnt effective enough! His pace, aggression and will is second to none but damn how pathetic is his finishing and decision making in the final pass…. I think there is a player there but he is outshined at liverpool and pressure is too much for him… wish him luck…
Missing a gap here intentionally.. trent can gtfoh the 🐀 🐀 🐀 🐀 🐀
It's always been the same, striker, left back, defensive midfield. I can think of a couple of names, Isak or David, Kerkez and Barella.
Nunez and Gomez need to go. Don't see Harvey Elliot moving his game up either. Nunez is an embarrassment.
I don't think the need to "strengthen". They'll still be strong next season.
But 100% they need to be starting the transition of building a new team. With the defence probably being the highest priority, trying to find a new left back, and making sure Konate and Quansah can be a legitimate partnership after Van Dijk .
what about chiesa? hes on the right and he will be playing next season
We need to start rebuilding. Our board will never bring in ready made superstars so we need guys who are maybe a few years away from that level who can seamlessly come as Mo, Virgil, Alisson, Diaz and the others age out. The guys we've been linked with are pretty much that. Kerkez, Huijsen, Ekitiké, Xavi Simons. I'd be happy with those 4.
stefan will be an excellent dm
Liverpool need a big transfer window this summer. FSG have done next to nothing in the last 3 windows because Slot has performed miracles with this team. FSG need to get their wallet out. City and Arsenal and even the rest will strengthen and if Liverpool dont they will be left behind.
3:29 brilliant insight and punditry from Jamie: "Ekitike… a player that… you know… he's a striker". These people are paid bags to say stuff like this 🤣
Nunez 100% gone and quansah hasn't got the minerals
Quansah, Elliott, Jota, Nunez, & prob Jones need shipping out. Replace all 5 with more quality.
I want to see Bajcetic next season.
Mbuemo Bowen Hato Read Wharton Lewis Hall Gyokeres Gittens Guehi
Tedious listening to some pundits, Sturridge and Ian Wright are amongst the culprits
Nunez needs to go while we still get some money. Robertson needs to be benched. Jones got to go. Liverpool need to bring in a world class midfielder
We want frimpong RB
Wirtz is the main statement signing for me. Would like to see any of Gordon, Zubimendi, Kerkez & Hujisen too.
Liverpool need atleast 200m for this summer
Ait Nouri, Wesley, Huijsen, Stiller, Isak
How is sturridge a pundit 😮 jesus christ
Jota,Nunez and Robertson are finished and need replacing
People saying we need a keeper 💀forgetting we’ve got the best in the world, arguably the best backup in the league who deserves to start for a good club, and a Georgian giant coming in
Ozempic Kelly
Wow struridge not dressed like a black street thug for once!!!
'A player to back up Mo who can play on that right side'
You mean like the European cup winning right-sided attacker Federico Chiesa we have who is keeping the bench warm????
well this was a waste of time
Arne starting needs minium 4 quality players for the starting 11 ie LB RB DM striker. Ie hincapie Vanderson ederson alvarez…
Over to you cheap broke FSG
Plus we need to add quality squad depth, some players on free transfers.. If we want to compete on all fronts
Redknapp showing his lack of football knowledge and understanding of squad building by saying robbo needs to stay….
Striker(s), LB/RB, CB.
Arsenal, United, and Liverpool all need a top Striker. Is there enough to go around? I don't think so.
Liverpool just won the League, do they really need or want to bring in 5 new players? That's 5 teammates gone, 5 new personalities in the lockerroom you don't know how will fit in.
