1. Liverpool
Liverpool’s performance in the transfer window was shambolic to say the least. They have a paper thin squad ravaged by injuries, and yet they failed to bring in any replacements in three areas where they are clearly struggling to put out names on the team sheet.
Mamadou Sakho and Daniel Agger are both out injured and yet they allowed summer signing Tiago Ilori to leave on loan, while they failed to address the issues at the middle of the park and on the wings. Liverpool had been linked with a host of midfielders throughout the window, the likes of Nigel De Jong, Yann M’Vila, Fernando Reges were all mentioned, and yet they did not bring in anybody to provide cover for the oft-crocked Lucas.
Yevhen Konoplyanka was their number one transfer target of the window after they lost out to Chelsea in a bidding for Basel winger Mohamed Salah, and the deal fell through in the wee hours of deadline day, as the club failed to reach an agreement with Dnipro for the fee of the player, even after the medical and personal terms had been completed.
Fans will be hoping that this lack of activity does not come back to haunt them as they continue to press their claim for the fourth place in the table, and a spot in next seasons Champions League.
