00:00Is there anything expected to pick up from now until the start of the season, now players
00:16are starting to return from the tournaments and hopefully there can be some transfer business
00:21done?
00:22Yeah, I think so. I think, you know, looking at the slots, what the players are at, they're
00:28pretty much starters or the ones you bring on off the bench. Obviously, you know, likes
00:34of Van Dijk, Alexander-Arnold, Luis Diaz, Nunes, Kalista, he already knows enough about
00:40them to know that they'll be in his plans. So it's been the case of who are the back-ups
00:47who I want to keep, who maybe do I want to leave and where do I need to bolster. And
00:53obviously, the number six role is one that's been talked about quite a lot. It's with Tyrone
00:59Wendzel, the player who I'm a slot once for that. Holding midfield's role, is he good
01:05enough on the ball to be progressive enough that I'm a slot once? Well, maybe not. So
01:10Liverpool go and look elsewhere. And, you know, just before we've come, we've started
01:15talking now, it would be a pleasure if Liverpool have identified a number six outside of the
01:20Premier League. So I'm sure that fans will be strolling through La Liga and Serie A seeing
01:25who could fit the bill. So that would be one. Another forward that's been talked about,
01:34the Anthony Gordon links are continuing. But for Anthony Gordon to come in, you'd probably
01:40have to lose a left-sided forward. Joel Jotunen, even Darwin Nunes can play there. And you've
01:48got a couple of younger players as well. And, you know, Fabio Carvalho stays, that's another
01:52option. So did he need another forward? Did he look on the other's flank? Did he look
01:58for a long-term successor for Mo Salah, someone who can give Salah a little bit of respite?
02:04Because when he came back from injury last season, he wasn't the same player. And maybe,
02:08you know, playing all those games that he has done since he arrived at Liverpool, he's
02:12catching up on him. And a centre-back has been talked about as well. The Pearl have
02:17got four stroke five options, if you include Stefan de Beek, who's done well in pre-season.
02:23Obviously, Joe Gomez, there was an agreement with Newcastle for him to go the other way
02:27with Gordon before that deal broke down, before the PSR deadline. But reports suggest now
02:34Joe Gomez is fully committed to Liverpool and they're in the spot. So if Joe Gomez
02:40stays and the Liverpool need another centre-back, they have four stroke five options. Depends
02:45on what happens with Van den Berg as well. But yeah, I think the midfielders, if you
02:50are to have supporters, they want to be in midfield. And it looks like that will be the
02:55area of the pitch that Arnaslott's looking to target now.
