"I'm pleased with the defensive reinforcements but think the lack of an experienced Premier League striker is going to be a big hindrance. It was a shame the Adebayor deal could not get done.

"I can't see any of the current strikers getting 15+ goals so are really going to rely on the likes of Gil, Grealish, Traore and Sinclair to wade in with the goals?"

"Deadline day can be deemed a disappointing end to the transfer window for Brendan Rodgers. The decision to part with high potential Portuguese centre-back Tiago Ilori - initially on loan to Aston Villa, but with a purchase clause reportedly included - is a poor one.

"At a time when Liverpool's centre-back ranks are at their most vulnerable, Ilori could have been a useful option. One positive to come from the day is that Mamadou Sakho is still a Liverpool player."
