Liverpool had an eventful transfer window this summer, and they brought several quality signatures.
They managed to tackle most of their weakness this summer, but they failed to obtain an agreement for Marc Guehi through the line the day limit. They agreed with Crystal Palace for the defender, and the player had also finished his doctor with the Premier League champions.
However, Crystal Palace failed to ensure a replacement for the player, and they finally disconnected the agreement.
Liverpool lacks defensive depth
According to Talksport’s presenter, Jeff Stelling, Liverpool could now be in a real mess if there is a rear injury, especially to the captain of the Virgil Van Dijk club.
He said, “A solid blow for Liverpool. An injury from Van Dijk far from a real mess »
There is no doubt that the Crystal Palace star would have been an excellent acquisition, and its arrival would have added more quality and depth to the team. However, Liverpool in Ibrahima Konate, Joe Gomez and Giovanni Leoni also at their disposal.
They have enough quality to go to the transfer window in January without any major problem. They should come back for the Crystal Palace star when the window reopens.
Although there is no doubt that an injury to the best defender in the world would weaken the team, Liverpool has depth to cope for a short period. The reaction of the stelting is perhaps an exaggeration.
Liverpool must keep Virgil van Dijk adjusted
That said, Liverpool has no quality central defender who can control the game from the deep and productive transfer passes of Van Dijk. Guehi also excels in this area of ​​his game. It would have been an exceptional addition.
That said, Gomez is also excellent on the ball. However, his availability file is worrying. If he can stay in good shape, Liverpool will certainly go well for the coming months.
