with his team finishing fifth in the Premier League.

Indeed, a lot of this was down to the poor performances of their first-team squad but, in the end, Liverpool's poor performances cost the Dutchman his job.

This led to Andoni Iraola being appointed and caused fans to start speculating about what deals he could make to improve the Reds' ranks.

And, while over £150 million was spent on new players, more change is still needed.

Obviously, the January window is still a few months away yet so, no new players can be welcomed through the Anfield doors but, since there are definitely areas that could do with upgrading, change is afoot.

Four players may have been brought in by Iraola and Richard Hughes over the summer but, when looking at all the players they were linked with, there must have been at least 30 different players who were rumoured to be of interest to Liverpool.

A lot of them were central midfielders and, even though everyone can clearly tell that new ones are needed at Anfield, their recruitment team decided against bringing anyone in.

Obviously, deadline day brought up the chances of a potential move for Lamine Camara in January but, another one of the long-linked players with Liverpool was Alex Scott.
