Hiller: If they join Liverpool, how can other teams play?

The Premier League transfer window has closed and entered the final stage. Liverpool also pursues the trends of Newcastle striker Isaac and Crystal Palace central defender Guy, which has become the most concerned focus in football at this stage. English legend Alan Shearer bluntly stated on the BBC program: "If these two deals are reached, the competitiveness of other Premier League teams will be fundamentally weakened."

Isaac: Newcastle's "stop loss choice"

Isaac's transfer negotiations have been going on for several weeks. According to the Times, Liverpool's initial offer of 120 million pounds was rejected by Newcastle, and raised the offer to 130 million pounds (including 50 million pounds floating clauses). Newcastle coach Eddie Howe insisted that Liverpool sign Leipzig Red Bull striker Cesco as a replacement, but the 26-year-old Slovenia international eventually chose to join Manchester United, and Newcastle was forced to compromise.

Isaac's competitive state is an important bargaining chip for Liverpool. Last season, he played 14 goals and 5 assists in 23 appearances. His impact (period 1.2 successful passes per game) and goal-front efficiency (18% shooting conversion rate) are believed to be able to fill the vacancy of Salah after he may leave the team. However, Isaac suffered repeated attacks due to groin injury last season, resulting in many missed key games, which directly affected the team's performance and personal status.

Gei: Crystal Palace's "win-win-win-financial and competitive"

Crystal Palace and Liverpool are close to reaching an agreement on Guy's transfer. Players will join Liverpool for a fixed fee of £35 million + 10% future transfer share (total price of about £40 million), which is lower than the initial £35 million offer without additional terms. In response, Crystal Palace has signed defender Canvo (27 million euros, about £23 million) from Toulouse.

Gey's defensive data is very convincing: in the 2024-25 season, the Premier League averaged 4.2 clearances and 2.5 interceptions, and his aerial confrontation success rate was 72.2% (first in the Premier League centre-back). Its multifaceted nature (competent to central defenders, right wingbacks, defensive midfielders) just makes up for the problem of Liverpool's insufficient defense line.

The response of competitors: Resource allocation difficulties

Liverpool's strong signings have put the opponent in a dilemma:

Manchester City: After losing De Bruyne, Rodri and new player Reindez (46.3 million euros) formed a double-axis, but the two have not yet formed a tacit understanding, and the improvement of midfield creativity is limited; Cherki (34 million euros) and Ait Nuri (34 million euros) signed in the winter window still need time to integrate into the system.

Arsenal: Signed the Portuguese Super League Golden Boot Yorke (39 goals last season), Saka (24 successful passes last season) to stay in the team. The thickness of the lineup is enough on paper, but the stability of the new players is also a key

Manchester United: Rashford joined Barcelona with a free transfer (no buyout clause), Amorin's system relies on the forward combination of Mbemo and Cunha, and the offensive width is insufficient.

Flynnon joins Liverpool: The key puzzle for tactical upgrades

Flynnon joins Liverpool from Leverkusen and signs for five years. The Dutch international contributed 14 goals and 12 assists to Leverkusen last season, and his speed and breakthrough ability will fill the gap on the right after Arnold left the team.

Tactical positioning: mainly play as a right back, and can also play as a guest right winger to form a wing link with Salah;

Expected role: improve the efficiency of offensive and defensive conversion on the right and alleviate the coverage pressure of midfielder Rodri.

Sheer's warning: the trend of resource centralization has intensified

"Liverpool's signing logic is clear - use limited funds to strengthen the weakest link." Hiller emphasized in his analysis, "When other teams are forced to invest tens of millions of pounds in a single transaction, Liverpool has achieved lineup upgrade through precise operations."

This view is supported by data: Liverpool's total investment of 308 million euros this summer, of which 212 million euros were recruited, players were recycled 196 million euros, and net investment was only 112 million euros, far lower than Manchester City (280 million euros) and Arsenal (230 million euros). However, the efficiency of strengthening key positions (such as Wilz and Flynnpoon) has significantly improved its competitiveness.

Potential risks: The test of multi-line combat

Although the signings have caused heated discussion, Liverpool still needs to face two major challenges:

Defense line stability: Even if Geei joins, the team's central defender combination still lacks experience in the Champions League (Konat only participated in 18 Champions League games);

Lineup run-in: New aid Ekitic has proved its state, and if Isaac joins, the prospect of cooperation with Werz is also uncertain.

Liverpool's transfer operation demonstrates the club's exquisite trade-offs between fiscal balance and competitive goals. If Isaac, Gee and Flynnon eventually join, the team will pose a stronger threat in the Premier League championship and the Champions League. However, competition in the football world has never lost its suspense because of the investment of a certain team. What a great team needs is continuous evolution rather than short-lived madness.
