If we loan out Jones how do we meet the European quota of 4 HG players trained at the club?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well we've just lost a Senegalese, Belgian and Japanese player from our squad, giving us 14 rather than 17 non home grown players, and brought in a Uruguayan and two home grown players.

Ramsey and Carvalho too young to count although Ramsey won't class as home grown.

So space for another midfielder.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Poorly worded, sorry.

We brought in two players that don't occupy non-home grown slots, not two home grown players.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

You need 4 players trained at the club regardless (unless you want a smaller squad which seems to be the complaint).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We've got space for 2 more non-home grown players in the squad.

We've got Joe Gomez, Jordan Henderson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Caoimhin Kelleher, James Milner and Nat Phillips as home grown players as it stands.

Again, the club were all in on Tchouameni, so there's clearly space for another non-HG player.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Which is fine but doesn't actually answer my question.

We have the exact same midfield as last season, to a man.

What has changed in the last 6 weeks that means we are suddenly in such a worse position?

Genuine question.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I felt we were light last season... It worked out but I still feel like we were pretty light in quality in midfield at times.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
To me it didn't work out.....too many draws in the league and I personally feel we were lucky in the 2 domestic finals. The CL we should have won but we had injuries I believe.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We had to win four trophies for it to work out?

City have 20 senior players, including a backup goalkeeper and Carson who will never play and including young Palmer who looks a good player but likely will only play cups, baring an injury crisis.

They have no backup at full back, their left back backup is one of their four centre backs who pick up their fair amount of injuries. Their right back backup is their left back, meaning one of those centre backs has to play full back should they need to replace or rest either of the full backs.

Liverpool have 25 senior players, not counting Ramsey and Van den Berg who I expect to be loaned out. We have cover for every position, even with injuries.

We need to sell players before we can add more. We perhaps might bring in one, if we can sell one but I think it will be January.

Ahh I see your point, you're referring to our European, not PL squad, gotcha. Missed that in your initial question.

We do have room, and personally I would like one more in, but I am happy to wait for the right player (or two).

We do more business than most in January so maybe they will look at it then, but with any luck there will be a bit of a transfer merry go round towards the end of the window.

More news about Barca being absolutely in the sh!t today for fiddling their figures. Might be worth going back and having a go for Gavi if they are that desperate.

European squad can be tinkered so if for example Ox ain't going to be ready then you can take him out and add a homegrown youth player.

Bit of a none issue pointed out by the timewaster Robbing. Nothing new there.

Just for banter who would you put in to the Champions League? Morton?

Morton would have to qualify through finishing top of the Scottish league mate

On one hand Barca are getting in trouble for fiddling their figures, on the same day they are wrapping up a £50m deal for Bernardo Silva.

Absolute joke of a club and players are stupid enough to sign for them.

Absolutely bizarre innit. Not sure how that is all going to work for them.

We brought Elliot into the squad to fill Wij's place.

Until Ox leaves it is what it is. In hindsight we should not have renewed his contract but that's always 20/20 innit.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You didn’t even need hindsight. I couldn’t believe you signed him in the first place, but to renew his contract was daft. Contract issues are probably one of the few areas where Liverpool aren’t the best.

Ox is the biggest waste pf space ever. He came to us with an awful injury reputation and has continued the same.with us
