Football News wrote that not only other traditional top five clubs, but also other 19 Premier League teams have signed new players, the only exception being Liverpool, led by new Dutch coach Klopp. They are the only Premier League team without any new signings during the summer transfer window. Looking at the five major leagues, apart from Liverpool, only Montpellier from Ligue 1 has not signed any new players.
Seeing that the other five Premier League giants have all been strengthened with strong signings, and even Everton, who are financially strapped, have spent over €50 million to sign five players, Liverpool fans are anxiously waiting. Not only did Liverpool not sign any new players, but even Clark, a young player who was promoted to the first team, was sold to Red Bull Salzburg for cash. In addition, 13 players left the club, including Van den Berg, F. Carvalho, Adrian, Ramsey and young centre-back R. Williams. The club earned close to €60 million from the transfer market, but they invested zero in reinforcements. Of course, theoretically, Liverpool did sign new players this summer. But 16-year-old Wolves defender Alvin Aiman is a half-finished product for the youth team; the €35 million signing of Georgian goalkeeper Mamardashvili will be loaned back to Valencia this season.
Liverpool will be busy in the next week, but not with signings, but with selling players. Liverpool’s first team only has 25 players, and centre-back Joe Gomez and 18-year-old winger Ben Doak are also likely to leave, making the squad even thinner. There is a significant gap in quality between Liverpool’s starters and substitutes. The midfield almost entirely relies on the trio of Szoboszlai, MacAllister and Gravenberch, assuming they are all fit.
Liverpool’s rivals for Champions League qualification, Chelsea, spent €241 million, Aston Villa spent €176 million, and even Brighton spent €172 million. In particular, Manchester United spent €165 million and Tottenham spent €145 million to sign four strong players each, and the debut performances have been good. How can Liverpool, without any new signings, not cause concern?
