On the final Transfer Podcast before the madness kicks off again at the year's end, Dave Davis and Trev Downey discuss the latest comings and goings at LFC, across the Premier League and around Europe.
Jim Boardman and Jay Reid return to discuss all things Red from Merseyside, as Arne Slot goes into his first international break as Liverpool boss with a 100% record and an unbreached defence.
The transfer window didn't go as well as many fans had hoped, with only one new signing available to Slot until at least January. Jay recalls Liverpool's new Sporting Director Richard Hughes talking about how the club would make opportunistic signings, which Jay agrees they have, but everyone is wondering where the rest of them are.
Not that anyone watching Liverpool's 3-0 demolition of old enemy Manchester United at their old place would have been thinking too much about the need for new signings. Slot was able to put out a side full of talent that embarrassed the hosts, a side that can only get better as it takes on more and more of Slot's ideas.
The worry for Jim is that as strong as LFC's first XI might be, it won't stay strong if it gets overused over the course of the season. Three weeks, three games, few changes, nine points, seven goals, not a bad start at all. But after this international break the football is back to thick and fast, a game every three or four days, broken only this side of Christmas by another two international breaks.
Some of those games are Champions League games, the Reds back in the big one, but this season sees the start of a bizarre new format that ditches the idea of playing a team home and away, at least for the first eight games apiece. As Jim says, it feels like calculators are going to be needed as the tournament unfolds, and Jay points out it just doesn't seem right that the entrants to the knockout phase won't be decided by Christmas any more.
Lots more to discuss this week, as well as finding time to spare a thought for the two sides who hate Liverpool most, neither of which will want to see the number three for a while.
As for Reds fans, well there's plenty to be happy about!
