Pundits have their say on January transfers: “I wouldn’t sign another player”

Tim Sherwood believes it could be “dangerous” for Liverpool to sign new players in January, according to Sky Sports.

Speaking on the Debate, Sherwood, suggested that adding to an already “strong” squad could disrupt their harmony and ultimately have a detrimental effect on the Reds’ title bid.

Jurgen Klopp’s side have been linked with a host of players in recent weeks, with Christian Pulisic apparently top of their hit list.

Sherwood, however, isn’t keen on title-chasing clubs recruiting midway through the season: “It’s really dangerous for people to think they need to add extra players.

“You can change the whole dynamic of your dressing room by doing that. They are in this position and I wouldn’t sign another player.

“Newcastle did it with Faustino Asprilla [in 1996] and it was a disaster. We know what a good player he was, he almost changed the dynamics of how they played, but it didn’t work out. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

“At the moment, I think the squad is strong enough, if they cope with injuries, to compete until the end.”

Former Liverpool striker Craig Bellamy weighed-in as well, suggesting that how Liverpool respond to their first loss of the season will determine whether or not they can win the title.

“It’s how they respond, those are the key moments,” Bellamy said.

“I remember losing the league title on the last day at Celtic. Having that experience next time around with Cardiff in the Championship, it was like ‘calm down, take one game at a time, just win the next game and don’t worry about who we have got in three weeks.’

“I don’t believe Liverpool will go unbeaten, they will lose one or two games, and I personally think Man City will win the league. I think Pep Guardiola would be rubbing his hands saying ‘game on – last year, we won it so comfortably, now let’s see what we’ve got’.

“They have a manager who is a serial winner so they have a lot of factors that they can look back on. With seven points to make up, especially over the Christmas period, you can get that back. Don’t write Man City off yet.”
