After spending £450m last summer, Liverpool are facing more transition
Centre-back situation suddenly feels just one of a number of issues that need resolving as Arne Slot faces questions all over the field that could be expensive to answer
www.thetimes.com
Mohamed Salah is scheduled to return to the Liverpool squad this week after Egypt’s Africa Cup of Nations campaign, with his pre-tournament outburst against Arne Slot dictating that no one seems to be quite sure whether this is the start of a long goodbye, in which he will leave before next season.
Reinforcements on the right would be a priority then, especially if, as seems likely given he barely plays, Federico Chiesa departs after the end of the campaign.
If Jeremie Frimpong is earmarked for one of those two slots, then Liverpool surely require a right back.
==========
Should Konaté leave on a free transfer, are two new centre backs needed allowing for the reluctance to give Joe Gomez minutes which is, in part, due to his fitness issues? Are two necessary regardless?
==========
Is the current midfield ready to push to reclaim the title next season or does it need strengthening? Will Curtis Jones, who had been attracting interest from Tottenham Hotspur, feel it is time to be more of a guaranteed starter somewhere?
==========
Kostas Tsimikas is due to return from a loan spell with Roma and may become back-up to Milos Kerkez if Robertson departs when his contract expires in five months. But that is not a long-term solution. Like Gomez and Virgil Van Dijk, Tsimikas’ contract is up in 2027.
==========
And that is before we get to the future of Slot — who heard the final whistle on Saturday followed by boos — sporting director Richard Hughes and the CEO of football for Liverpool owner Fenway Sports Group, Michael Edwards. They all have 18 months left to run on their contracts.
Jones is a very good football player and has shown more maturity, versatility and game intelligence this season. He's far too good for shite like Spurs.
If Robbo chooses to leave this summer - which he's earned the right to decide if he wants to be a starter somewhere - I wouldn't be upset at Tsimikas returning.
He's shite
Bless you. Perhaps you should stick to netball or tiddlywinks.
I don't know what netball or tiddlywinks are, but what I do know is that Jones is shite.
bullshit, you know every fucking english slang term under The Lying Rag and you’ve never heard of those!
you definitely know who lemmywinks is though, i can guarantee that 🤣
You got me 😅. That's how I learned what an endothermic reaction is. Or isn't...
Except the 'small pond' is the PL where he's now a proven striker. Anyone doubting this needs to go and look at his compilation again. And yes I know it's a different style of play but we should be making more chances for him than Newcastle, not less. A good player doesn't become ineffective regardless of the system. I can see Isak being very effective under Xabi.
This reminds me of Wirtz and the comments by some on here that he's only a BL player who's not good enough for the PL (not you, I know you were/are pro-Wirtz). Those knockers are choking on their words now, gone silent.
I've every confidence Isak will prove to be a very good striker next season, it's just a fucking shame that he should acquire such a dire injury to set both him and the team back.
There's lots of players who move teams in the PL and struggle to replicate their previous clubs form. It's not unheard of
