Post: Liverpool needs to introduce center and defender, now only Ekitic is the No. 9 position

August 11th, The Daily Mail wrote an article talking about the situation of Liverpool personnel. The article stated that the team needs to introduce centers and defenders, and now there is only one No. 9 player in Ekitic.

Post said Ekitic is the only No. 9 player in Liverpool. If he is injured, who can play in this position? The answer is no one. Nunes and Dias have both left the team. Although Liverpool recovered about 120 million pounds by selling the two, the outside world feels that the team's forward is still missing at least one player.

After entering the new season, what should Liverpool do if Ekitic, Salah or Garkepo are injured? There are some plans B, such as letting Wilz go to the left and letting Flynnon be on the right, but in terms of Community Shield, the two perform better in their current positions.

Youth team has some options, 16-year-old Ngumoha performed well in the preseason, but considering his age, he cannot be overused and his playing time must be properly arranged. So with three weeks left before the window is closed, Liverpool must cheer up and bring in a center and a defender. The same is true for Liverpool's plans, which are expected to speed up the pursuit of the centre-back and center, but the negotiation status is not ideal as other teams know their situation. The dream signing for No. 9 is of course Isaac, which will largely depend on whether Newcastle is willing to change its position.

at the center back position, Guy's situation is similar to Isaac. Liverpool appreciates him, and he himself believes that now is the best time to leave the team. But will Crystal Palace lower the asking price? Given his contract expires next summer, this may be the last chance for Crystal Palace to receive funds, but Liverpool is not ready to pay him a high transfer fee and they are waiting to lower the asking price.

Judging from the performance of the Community Shield, Ekitic has integrated into the team well. What is even more gratifying is his comprehensive performance and has a tacit understanding with his teammates. Although Ekitic's £79m spend seems worth it, if Liverpool want to defend their title in the Premier League, they still need to put in enough funds to sign.
