David Lynch: Liverpool need at least two more signings this summerLiverpool Still Need Two Signings as David Lynch Explains Summer PrioritiesLiverpool may have made an encouraging start to life under new head coach Andoni Iraola, but David Lynch believes there is still important work to do before the transfer window closes.Speaking with Dave Davis on the latest episode of Media Matters for Anfield Index, Lynch repeatedly returned to one central point. Liverpool have improved areas of the squad this summer, yet there are still key positions that require strengthening if they are to compete across another demanding campaign.While stressing that Liverpool should avoid rushing into the market, Lynch explained why he believes at least two further additions remain necessary before the new season begins.Right Signings Matter More Than Quick SigningsEarly in the discussion, Dave Davis suggested Liverpool needed to kick into gear with the transfer window entering its final month.Lynch agreed that business still needs to be completed, but urged patience.I will remain adamant, as boring as this is, that I just want them to do the right business.He added:I dont want them to rush into things.Although he acknowledged Liverpool still need additions, Lynch believes quality should remain the priority.I really want them to do the right business and I want them to do business.He also admitted there are positions where Liverpool simply cannot afford to be left short.They really cant be left short in certain areas.Defensive Reinforcement Cannot WaitThe biggest concern discussed throughout the podcast centred on Liverpools defensive depth, particularly following Joe Gomezs latest injury.Lynch argued Liverpools plans should never have depended on Gomez remaining available.They have to sign someone who can play centre back and right back. Its as simple as that for me.He was equally firm when discussing Gomezs role within the squad.They just cant rely on him.Even before the latest injury, Lynch believed Liverpool required another defender capable of covering multiple positions.He also warned against viewing Gomezs latest setback as the reason for changing transfer plans.That was true before he went down injured.Later in the discussion, Lynch reinforced his view.If the window closes without that happening, I think Liverpool, it will hurt them in some way in the season.Photo: IMAGOForward Addition Also Remains EssentialAlongside defensive recruitment, Lynch believes Liverpool must continue pursuing another attacker.As the conversation turned towards the overall size of the squad, he outlined the clubs current priorities.You clearly need another forward to replace Mohamed Salah.Lynch believes those two positions stand above everything else if Liverpool keep the rest of the squad intact.He explained:If they add two signings to this and they dont lose anyone, Im absolutely okay with that.Those additions would dramatically improve the balance of Iraolas squad.Youre suddenly looking a lot more healthy in that position.Outgoings Could Change Liverpools PlansLynch also acknowledged that Liverpools business may not stop at two arrivals.Everything depends on player departures during the remainder of the window.There probably will be sales and movement.If midfielders leave or Cody Gakpo departs, Liverpools recruitment plans could quickly expand.Lynch concluded:Its maybe two right now but it could end up being they need four, they need five.That uncertainty explains why Liverpool continue assessing multiple areas of the squad while remaining patient in negotiations.The conversation between Dave Davis and David Lynch offered a clear picture of Liverpools current thinking. Iraolas side may already be showing encouraging signs on the pitch, but Lynch believes the transfer window remains far from complete. One versatile defender and one forward are currently the minimum requirements in his view, with further additions potentially becoming necessary depending on departures before the deadline.
