Liverpool 'did need strengthening even though they won the title'

Our chief football writer Phil McNulty has been taking your questions.

Jack asked: I'm a Liverpool fan and have been really enjoying their transfer window this summer and do not want it to end. We've clearly seen most of the big teams on the downward spiral and have decided to capitalise on it, but do you think that it could come back to bite them as it is too much change at one time?

Phil answered: Hello, Jack. No wonder you're enjoying it. It has been outstanding so far.

No, I don't think it will come back to bite them because all the signings so far have been with an obvious purpose in mind. Jeremie Frimpong was signed to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold, Milos Kerkez to provide competition for Andy Robertson, who is now 31, and Florian Wirtz because he is simply an outstanding player who was wanted by some of Europe's top clubs.

There may be further additions, perhaps in central defence and at striker, depending on departures, but Liverpool did need strengthening even though they won the title. They are going about it in a structured way.
