Liverpool supporters know the feeling well.
Every season, questions come up about whether the squad will get last-minute reinforcements.
That is the standard Liverpool are competing against in the Premier League and Europe.
For a club with ambitions of winning trophies, the market is not just about buying.
It is about keeping pace with teams who can throw money around and still deliver results.
For Liverpool manager Arne Slot, this is a chance to show how he balances the excitement of potential signings with the reality of managing what he already has.
Fans are watching closely, hoping the club matches the competition’s energy but also aware that stability matters.
Speaking ahead of deadline day, Slot gave a clear but lighthearted picture of his schedule.
“Quite busy because I have to take a flight at two o’clock!” he joked when asked how hectic he expected the day to be.
He quickly turned serious, adding, “On a serious note, let’s wait and see
I haven’t spoken to [sporting director] Richard [Hughes] yet.”
“I don’t think it’s a surprise we are trying to see if we can strengthen the squad but if that isn’t possible we are more than happy to do that with this team.”
His comments show the balance Liverpool are trying to strike.
On one side, there is pressure to add fresh legs before the window closes.
On the other, there is confidence in the players already in the dressing room.
Slot knows the team can compete as it stands, but he is not closing the door to smart additions.
That is the reality of leading Liverpool in a league where every point matters and every signing can shift momentum.
