00:00 Yeah, and obviously, you know, you mentioned they're probably going to need a new name if those two are to leave.
00:06 Who do you think would be best suited in terms of that midfield, defensive midfield position for Liverpool?
00:13 It's a difficult one, isn't it? Because obviously Romuald Laby has been linked with Liverpool throughout the summer and really highly regarded.
00:21 But he's probably not experienced enough to come into the team and do it straight away.
00:27 He played 29, he made 29 Premier League appearances, I think, for Southampton last season.
00:32 But that's not a lot of Premier League experience, to be honest with you, whatsoever for what Jürgen Klopp would be wanting from his defensive midfielders.
00:41 And then you're looking at players like Chet Takore, Crystal Pallas has now been linked.
00:47 He's had one season in the Premier League and Pallas paid apparently £18 million for him last summer, and now the Valueman reports he paid £70 million.
00:56 That's a big, big hike in his valuation for one season in the Premier League as well.
01:02 The lads have fallen partly now, with Fulham on it as part of him as well, because they've been fairly steadfast not allowing Mitrovic to leave, so they might be the same with him.
01:13 And, you know, Ryan Gravenberch at Bayern Munich, is he an out-and-out defensive midfielder?
01:20 And then obviously Calvin Phillips as well, Manchester City, which you're looking at and thinking after one disappointing season at Man City, is he the right fit for Liverpool?
01:29 So Jürgen Klopp and Spawn's Aireti all smack. I'm sure they've got a couple of aces up their sleeve.
01:35 Obviously, Söderlund Slidak's deal came out of nowhere, didn't it?
01:38 So maybe it might be a player who isn't mentioned who arrives, but certainly Liverpool need to get someone in with experience, whether that's with experience and La Vida.
01:48 It's difficult to see both deals happening, to be honest with you, just for the money that it might cost them.
