Liverpool’s lack of signings is starting to become a cause for concern, with one situation in Reds training highlighting the lack of depth available. Plenty of Liverpool fans are bemused at the lack of transfer business with the new Premier League season gradually approaching, and former defender Steve Nicol has also voiced his concerns, saying: “The whole rumour thing – even with the rumours, we’re only talking about two players.

I’ve no idea what’s going on. Absolutely 100% they should have more signings by now, and the longer it goes without any [more], it just tells you they’re gonna end up gambling when they shouldn’t be.” Now, a respected source on X has claimed that Andoni Iraola’s assistant Tommy Elphick had to join in training in the USA to make sure enough people were actually involved: “Liverpool DESPERATELY draft in Andoni Iraola’s assistant Tommy Elphick during their US pre-season tour training… JUST TO MAKE UP THE NUMBERS!!!

Absolute MADNESS!!” Liverpool are threatening to get themselves in a mess It should be stressed that the above claim feels hyperbolic, given that plenty of key Liverpool players haven’t yet fully returned to pre-season training. Fingers crossed Liverpool get things sorted by the time the summer transfer window ends, but as things stand, they aren’t exactly exuding confidence.
