Are Liverpool looking at signing any free agents, for example Mario Hermosa (29) LB/ LCB released by Atletico Madrid and Adrien Rabiot.
Are there other notable players who potentially may be of interest.

I’ll polish my boots ready for the call.

He's like a new signing.
Last season as per @CIES_Football
Tyler Morton was one of the best press-resistant U21 midfielders in world football.
He had ball retention under high pressure rate of 86.9%.
Only Gavi (87.1%) and Zaïre-Emery (87.1%) ranked higher.
#LFC should have signed a no.6 in my opinion.
But I’m a huge fan of Morton. I think he’s very suited to Slot’s style of play.
Jarell Quansah took his chance last year when #LFC didn’t sign a CB.
Now I hope Morton does the same.

Got very high hopes for Morton too. Let's see if Slot looks to utilise him in the coming months.

With Endo likely being unneeded, Jones injury prone and us rejecting a bid for him, you would imagine we will get a chance in one of the two CM positions covering for Macca or Grab at some point. Let's hope he takes his chance when it comes.

I still don't get this phrase 'press resistant'.
If his stats were 86.9% for ball retention so that means he lost the ball 13.1% of the time. If my phone was water resistant 86.9% of the time, I'd not be taking it near water.

Agree 100% - let’s hope Tyler Morton is this season’s breakthrough silver lining. Shout out for James McConnell too who was excellent in his 3 apps last season. Let’s not heap pressure on Trey Nyoni. Yet.

EDs with your knowledge and the reported interest in LFC looking to loan or maybe sell Morton. What do you think has actually happened? The move away didn’t suit or offer not hit right? Or is it a case of this player is potentially good enough so reject anything and keep. Has he been viewed as a reason to keep and not spend.
{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of anything happening. There was an offer that was rejected so he will likely stay for now.}

@Brommers I think it’s the kiddies jargon for ‘hard to tackle’ or ‘hard to get the ball off’.
It’s the current generation’s attempt to sound knowledgeable, like inverted (which really means, according to the OED, to change the normal position of something, especially by turning it upside down or in the opposite order), or pivot or double pivot.

Still banging on about transfers, whilst Slot does his thing, and Grav steps up. Fine tuning an already brilliant motor is what we are doing, rather than adding some alloys, a bassbin and some go faster stripes.

Even before but most especially now I do not understand the fan obsession with needing or wanting to buy. I think we have a very decent squad and I think Slot thinks that too.
I admire fully the want to understand the crop he has and to only go hunting if there is obvious out there that will improve it. Free agents - I can't think of any that might and I really wouldn't like to do a Chaelsea and take other clubs "deadwood" as they have with Sancho (especially after telling a far better albeit older player he has no place and sending him on loan).
I looked at our Starting Line up today and sketched a second 11 from the squad (still leaving some decent players adrift) and I thought - both of these teams under decent management are a better starting 11 than a significant amount of teams in the prem can field.
Ali.

What's wrong with go faster stripes?

Brommer, your argument doesn’t hold water I’m afraid (haha) …. it’s flawed logic.
If a watch is to be water resistant, it needs to be water resistant 100% of the time or it breaks and is useless forever more. And it’s reasonable to expect a machine to meet this standard.
Footballers do not work in absolutes, they are humans. There is no midfielder that holds possession 100% of the time, or striker that scores 100% of the time, or GK that saves 100% of the time etc…. wed be waiting a long time to recruit someone who never gives the ball away.

I do enjoy a good logical fallacy.
For example ‘Manchester United are always dangerous at Old Trafford’ ??.

SG Red, here's a fallacy for you, it's amazing how many pundits and websites state that Mamardashvili is on loan at Valencia.
I would be very surprised if any of the posters/ readers on these pages are under that wrong impression.

What is the obsession with recruitment for recruitments sake? We are gladly not Chelsea (who have now taken to recruiting Man U deadwood after telling a far better, albeit older; player he has no place) .
I looked at our starting 11 yesterday and sketched a starting 11 from those not included that would equally be capable in my mind of challenging high up.
Kelleher
Tsimikas
Quansah
Gomez
Bradley
Endo
Elliott
Jones
Chiesa
Nunez
Gakpo
And still a decent few players excluded from the 22.
There is no need to recruit if (as the manager says) the quality to improve is not in supply. It has to be an improvement!

@Genius - at what point should we start heaping pressure on Nyoni (or anybody else for that matter) ?

SG Red, in fairness though the mantra 'Manchester United are always dangerous at Old Trafford' doesn't actual detail the direction of that danger lol - Onana certainly felt in great danger from that Utd team ???.
