Summer plans, winter silence: Liverpool’s transfer drift deepens

Dave Davis turns his focus to the wider picture as Liverpool’s transfer narrative becomes dominated by future planning rather than present action. Yan Diomande’s Anfield ambition, Marc Guehi’s City links, Harvey Elliott’s stalled situation and Johnny Heitinga’s move elsewhere all feed into a growing feeling of missed opportunity. The cut also explores Charlie Cresswell as a market play, Darwin Núñez’s attempts to return to Europe and the looming managerial uncertainty with Xabi Alonso back in circulation. As January drags on, Dave asks whether Liverpool are deliberately standing still or simply losing control of the narrative. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
