00:00They've made a few big signings in January windows over the last few years, but they've
00:06also sort of stayed quiet as well in a few. Just looking ahead to January, it's going
00:11to be quite an interesting time where, following the festive period, there could be a real
00:16crossroads of, if we're going to get someone big, they could really help us push on and
00:20trump this division under Arnie Schlott this season. So who would be a name, maybe a position
00:26to look out for, that would really impact Liverpool's side well and maybe even help
00:32them push themselves over the line and become champions once again?
00:35Yeah, it's an interesting one definitely. What Liverpool are going to do in January.
00:40Do they go and get someone to bolster the start of XI immediately, or do they get someone
00:45to come in and bed in a little bit and take the time? I think if you're looking at a position
00:52in the centre midfield, it's quite clearly the obvious one. Arnie Schlott came in and
00:57said he wants a new centre midfielder in the summer and that man was Martin Zupomendy and
01:02Liverpool couldn't get it over the line. Well, it's going to be interesting with Zupomendy
01:06now because maybe they cut out the bag a little bit. I think that's a little bit harsh because
01:11I think a lot of people, a lot of clubs wouldn't know about Zupomendy anyway. But Manchester
01:16City are struggling, they've lost Rodri, they've lost Kovacic, as we speak, they're
01:24struggling with injuries. So do they go and think, right, we need to go and get another
01:28number six in now? But obviously the advances that Liverpool have with Zupomendy, it's that
01:33they know the player, they'll know his agents, they'll know the sporting directors at Real
01:41Sofia, the groundwork's already been done. I think maybe someone to rotate Ryan Gravenberg
01:48could be quite important, see Mattaro Endo come on and finish games. I think even if
01:54another number six came in, I don't think Mattaro Endo's position would change. He seems
01:58to be that man who Arnie Schlott likes to come on and kill games off. But a little bit
02:03more rotation with Gravenberg, maybe even Gravenberg playing a little bit higher up
02:07the pitch and just having that extra body in there will be quite important. Or maybe
02:13a left-back potentially. I mean, Andy Robertson starts the season pre-season injured. He hasn't
02:20quite hit the heights that Liverpool fans are used to expecting. He's been one of the
02:26best left-backs in the world the past few years. But he's 30, coming 31 now and his
02:32father time's starting to catch up a little bit. Costa Simacasa's done OK this season,
02:37but realistically, is he a long-term replacement for Robertson? Well, he's been at the club
02:44for three, four years and he hasn't done so yet, so I'd suggest that he's not going to
02:49any time soon. So maybe another left-back as well, just to add something there for Liverpool.
02:55But yeah, I think central midfield is the one if they're going to bring someone in.
