      Only 1 signing would be disappointing, no real expectations to challenge on any front.

      We've signed 1 CB in 8 years, actually I think we've only signed 2 defenders in 8 years.

      Do we really want to wait until Virg and Mo are gone before having another rebuild?

      Well said

      I'd rather not wait to find out, it would be a very risky move and would look rather dumb if it didn't work out. Do we just put all our eggs in 1 basket in the hope these kids will be the next big things? No need to sign the next Fab, we got Baj and Morton. No need to sign the next Mo, we got Doak and Harvey etc.

      & don't get me wrong, I like both Sepp and Quansah but doing little bits here and there to freshen the squad is almost a necessity nowadays with what we're having to compete against.

      Is the only way to bring in players is by buying them

      In those years we have also

      Brought in - Bradley and Quansah into the first team , plus a number of other young players

      Why for some is it all about buying

      I’ll take bringing through a Quansah or Bradley over buying players

      All these youngsters only really came through last season, Harvey the only 1 who came before so yes 90% of players are usually brought in.

      Buying quality players to compete is a pretty big deal FYI. It took massive signings like Virgil and Ali to win titles. Surely you're not stupid enough to think otherwise.

      Alisson Trent Matip Virgil Robbo Fab Hendo Gini Salah Firmino Mane.

      Only 1 player there that wasn't needed to be brought.

      But it’s not all about signing players hence why silly remarks like “ 2 defenders in 4 years” etc it’s just meaningless- we have also brought through multiple young players along with the cb , rb and lb we have bought in the last 4 years

      2 defenders in 8 years to correct you, no wonder we concede so many sh*t goals.

      Liverpool exist to win big trophies but no let’s carry on not signing players, renewing all the old players contracts and bringing through the academy then and see where we stand, what can I say. When will you get tired and stop playing the role of doctor delusional?

      Ok since 2016 we have brought in

      Matip
      Klavan
      Robertson
      VVD
      VDB
      Kostas
      Konate
      Ramsey

      We sign players every year 🤷‍♂️ - who has said not to sign players

      Been about ÂŁ900mil worth of signings over the last 9 years

      And what’s wrong with renewing contracts and bringing through the youth

      Pretty much all except Ibou and Kostas were signed in Klopp’s first 18 months because he quickly decided he wanted F**k all to do with Skrtel Kolo Sakho and Lovren, so let’s say 6 years then, plus it doesn’t look like any new defender is walking through the door in 2024, that’ll be 7.

      Who did we sign the summer after we won the title? Oh that’s right a 16 year old. How did the following season pan out for us? Go back and remind yourself.

      So you are changing now to 6 years ? So that’s everyone after Robertson ?

      And right now we have

      5 CBS

      3 Right backs

      2 left backs

      and I don’t recall when they window was shut and it was announced that no defender will be bought

      And after we won the title we bought Kostas , Thiago and Jota

      You did listen to Hughes when he said that August would be when things accelerate, also when Slot says it would be a surprise if no one arrived

      Yes. To decipher The Slotmeister's words, it sounds like two or possibly three new additions may be coming in this transfer window.
      A transfer window that runs to the 30th August I might add....

      Who knew LiP could actually post something reasonable for a change.

      Good things come to those who wait, have a little patience people....the signings will come. We may not be the most active club in the market but we're not stupid enough to think all is rosy in the garden of eden.

      As long as we get the players we need in then I don’t really care when they come, all for having a busy last few days of the window for a change if it comes to that.

      If I was to speculate, it seems like maybe Endo is on his way out...I wouldn't be surprised if Carvalho is on his way out and also Sepp if we get an actual reasonable offer.

      Feel like that would leave us with a need for a DCM and a CB at minimum and maybe a backup keeper if Kelleher ends up leaving. That gets us to January where Slot could always supplement depending on injuries or how the team is doing and what the needs are.

      I wouldn't be surprised though if we keep the squad we have and that's who starts the season but I wouldn't be surprised if we get rid of a couple and bring a couple in. It will probably end up depending on cost and availability of targets.
