Dave Davis and David Lynch look beyond the summer transfer window and towards what could come next for Liverpool on Media Matters. Lamine Camara takes centre stage after his proposed move from Monaco to Chelsea collapsed. David explains Liverpool's previous interest in the midfielder and why his situation could become one to watch again, particularly with Alexis Mac Allister moving closer to the final 18 months of his contract. Could Liverpool make their move in January, or will Camara remain a longer term target? Attention also turns to Yankuba Minteh, with David explaining why he would have liked Liverpool to sign the Brighton winger and why the left footer could provide the natural option on the right that Andoni Iraola's attack currently lacks. Federico Chiesa's Liverpool future, Richard Hughes' impending departure and the sporting director's legacy are also discussed before attention finally returns to football. With Ipswich, Atletico Madrid and Fulham providing Iraola with his first three game week, Dave and David assess rotation, Bradley Barcola's potential debut and the major tactical questions Liverpool must answer now the transfer window is closed.

Dave Davis and David Lynch take a forensic look at Liverpool’s squad following the closure of the transfer window, with attention turning towards one position that could become a major talking point under Andoni Iraola. Reports of a late Liverpool approach for Chelsea’s Malo Gusto prompt a wider discussion about the club’s options at right back. Lynch explains why he has concerns over Jeremie Frimpong’s suitability, while the fitness records of Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez add further uncertainty to Liverpool’s plans. The discussion also examines Liverpool’s approach to youth recruitment, the highly rated Luca Bruggemann, Giorgi Mamardashvili’s future and why the Reds appear increasingly determined to recruit elite young talent before their valuations explode. Dave and David then assess whether midfield should have been strengthened, why Lynch believes some of Liverpool’s problems in that area could be solved within Iraola’s system, and why the full back positions currently represent his greater concern. With the transfer window closed, Liverpool have made their decisions. Now Iraola has to make the pieces fit. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Media Matters with Dave Davis and David Lynch returns following the closure of the transfer window, with attention finally turning back towards Liverpool on the pitch — but there are still major questions surrounding the club off it. Dave and David discuss Liverpool's need for a first Premier League win, Virgil van Dijk's international future and Bradley Barcola's arrival before examining the increasingly intriguing role of Amit Bhatia. His involvement in completing the Barcola deal raises further questions about Liverpool's ownership transition and just how influential the new investment group could become ahead of January. The pair also assess Andoni Iraola's reaction to Liverpool's transfer business, whether he got the attacking options he wanted and why an apparent imbalance on the right side could become an issue as the season develops. They also discuss why Iraola could now be left answering difficult questions about recruitment decisions that weren't solely his to make. Learn more about your ad choices.
