Fabrizio Romano has told transfer window podcast Que Golazo Pod that Liverpool have no plans to spend big this January, but that big arrivals will occur in the summer.
In truth, we’ve heard this plenty of times before from journalists mid-season – and by the summer – the plan is often very different.

This January, Liverpool need a centre-back – badly. The fact we fielded two of our best midfielders in central defence in the 1-0 defeat to Southampton proves as much.
It was a calculated risk to not sign a new defender in the summer when we only had Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip – but now all three are injured – it would be genuinely negligent for us to not consider buying another.
We have 11 days before our Premier League game with Manchester United, so if we were to bring someone in, we could get them ready for that clash.
But we’re not holding our breath!
In stead of planning something in the transfer window you want to be getting a few singing in as soon as possible Liverpool FC fans are getting very upset by the way Liverpool FC are performing think of the fans instead of money you should be doing everything you can to get them back to winning ways
The defence wasn’t why Liverpool had no shots on target.
There is an urgent need for a center back at Liverpool f.c.,if we are to defend and contest for titles this season.It is a priority.
LFC owners are no consideration for fans. They want money, only.
