Review, Transfer Overview.

We've got you covered here on the

blood red podcast with our Liverpool correspondent Paul Gorsd Joe Rimmer and

Connor done gorsley nice to be back on a pod with you I think we've been like

ships in the night over recent weeks but I'll come to you

first up with the heavy question can Liverpool in the final week of the transfer window afford not to go and

bring someone in.

Firstly, no. I think Liverpool or rather the owners as I wrote in the match where the class nights have basically gambled the status of

permanently changing on the fact that Yeng Club will be able to manage an injury

crisis this bad you know we, we've had his first two

centre backs out for, well is it now, three months? And so how we've been able to

find to maintain Liverpool towards the top or near the top up until about three weeks ago and it's all kind of caved in and I think a lot more than just the wages of a stock gap sign and now rests on, you know, the willingness or the

inability or unwillingness as it is to bring someone in. I think it's a frankly ludicrous situation at

Liverpool that in the position that in where they haven't to play a midfield

there and an 18 year old centre back at Old Stafford in the FA Cup at Anfield at Anfield against Manchester United in the top of the table clash.

You know, wherever else you kind of want to, even if you look sat on last month when Liverpool won you know okay
