00:00On the transfer front, we've spoken whether the fans might have been itching a bit because
00:06there was no business being done in terms of incomings. Is anything expected to pick
00:12up now from now until the start of the season, now players are starting to return from the
00:16tournaments and hopefully there can be some transfer business done?
00:20Yeah, I think so. I think, looking at what the players are, they're pretty much starters
00:27or the ones you bring on off the bench. Likes of Anzac, Alexander-Arnold, Luis Diaz, Nunez,
00:36Kalista, he already knows enough about them to know that they'll be in his plans. So it's
00:43been the case of who are the back-ups who I want to keep, who maybe do I want to leave
00:48and where do I need to bolster. Obviously, the number six role is one that's been talked
00:54about quite a lot. Is it with Taro Endal, the player who Arnaslott wants for that holding
01:02the field's role? Is he good enough on the ball to be progressive enough that Arnaslott
01:07will want? Well, maybe not. So, Liverpool go and look elsewhere. Just before we've started
01:13talking now, it would be a pleasure if Liverpool have identified a number six outside of the
01:18Premier League. So I'm sure that fans will be strolling through La Liga and Serie A seeing
01:24who could fit the bill. So that would be one. Another forward that's been talked about,
01:32the Anthony Gordon links are continuing. But for Anthony Gordon to come in, you'd probably
01:38have to lose a left-sided forward. Because Liverpool have got three, Stroot four who
01:45can play there. Luis Diaz, Kylian Mbappe, Joel Jotunen, even Dario Nunez can play there.
01:51And then you've got a couple of younger players as well. Fabio Carvalho stays, that's another
01:55option. So did he need another forward? Did he look on the other's flank? Did he look for a
02:01long-term successor for Mo Salah, someone who can give Salah a little bit of respite? Because when
02:07he came back from injury last season, he wasn't the same player. And maybe playing all those
02:12games that he has done since he arrived at Liverpool, he's catching up on them. And a
02:16centre-back has been talked about as well. The Pearl have got four, Stroot five options,
02:22if you include Sepp van der Beek, who's done well in pre-season. Obviously, Joe Gomez,
02:27there was an agreement with Newcastle for him to go the other way with Gordon before that deal
02:32broke down, before the PSR deadline. But reports suggest now Joe Gomez is fully committed to
02:39Liverpool and in the spot. So if Joe Gomez stays and Liverpool needs another centre-back,
02:46because they have four, Stroot five options, depends on what happens with van der Beek as
02:50well. But yeah, I think the midfielders, if you are to have supporters, what they want to be in
02:55midfield, it looks like that will be the area of the pitch that Arnaslott is looking to target now.
