Liverpool's transfer strategy analyzed – and the two "signatures" that would appease fans' worries

Liverpool could be champion of Europe – but a large majority of fans think transfers are a must this summer.

Jurgen Klopp's team won the European Cup for the sixth time in June after defeating Tottenham 2-0 in Madrid. The Reds have also managed to ambad an incredible 97 points in the Premier League.

Nevertheless, the transfers are apparently essential before the new campaign, many supporters claiming new faces.

There is an element of truth to this belief, given the risks of immobilization, but the perspective of the club and its hiring team must be considered before making such final statements about the critical importance of signatures.

From the point of view of the club, would Liverpool remain motionless, given that there is virtually no gap in the team, with the exception of the back cover left? Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Rhian Brewster have been referenced as new hires in recent weeks, both by Klopp and team captain Jordan Henderson.

This use is generally overused, leading fans to reject the request, but in the case of Chamberlain and Brewster, the point may be sincere.

The pair accumulated a total of 24 minutes of the first senior team last season, not because of slight persistent blows that suggest that a player is not reliable, but due to isolated major injuries that both have now overcome.

In the coming campaign, it is reasonable to think that the duo could accumulate about 2000 minutes or more, given Liverpool's participation in seven competitions and the versatility of the duo that affects their availability.

Since arriving at Anfield, Chamberlain has played in the central midfield, as well as on the right and left flanks, which means he is able to offer an option in three areas.

For its part, Brewster, although he has not yet played a competitive match for the club, is able to provide a rotation option to both Roberto Firmino by the center and Sadio Mane left.

The newly recovered couple has the right foot, which means it could technically offer a similar dynamic to Mane, but Klopp has already spoken of the need for Brewster to master an important role while developing.

The immediate concern with Brewster is that he is not yet at Mane or Firmino level with respect to their impact on the field, which is true, but neither was Trent Alexander-Arnold when he was compared to Nathaniel Clyne in 2017.

Basically, in the offensive zones, Liverpool now has an additional 4,000 minutes over last year, as well as Divock Origi, who managed to accumulate only 757 minutes last season because of his late impact on the campaign.

It is also important to note that bands like Brewster and Origi will accumulate their minutes against their lower opponents and at national cup competitions. In such environments, Liverpool does not necessarily require all of its stars to win, the inclusion of a player like Brewster rather than Firmino being barely noticeable.

If Brewster and Origi are handled carefully, their occasional inclusions on one of the top three strikers should not hurt Liverpool's results.

Mohamed Salah, Mane and Firmino, for example, can devote their minutes to the challenges of the Premier League and the Champions League, with Liverpool's backup options offering coverage when the Reds are favorites, and when the advantage competitive is not quite so important.

If the Reds had signed this summer a 25-year midfielder, capable on both flanks, and a talented 19-year-old forward with a very high ceiling in Europe, would the fans still be so worried? Maybe not.

Sepp van den Berg was also introduced, signed in the Netherlands for a reduced price.

The youngster is only 17 years old, but he already has a height of 6 feet 3 inches and it is likely that he will have little impact on the season he already has bases necessary to compete perfectly 1000 minutes in competitions considered now as secondary. in Liverpool, provided the system around him is compact.

In the end, the construction of the workforce undertaken by Liverpool in recent years has allowed Klopp to work with a relatively small but talented workforce because of the versatility that is present, while fostering an admirable culture that puts Focus on solidarity, unity and team work.

There is a legitimate argument that the club should look for a left-back substitute, as well as a fourth striker with a general performance level closer to those of Salah and Mane, but in the end, the Reds seem to have enough of resources to compete. at the highest level for at least one more season, especially given the new involvement of Chamberlain and Brewster.
