We arent likely to sign a DM or another CM and LB and CB look stacked.

Flanagan's not a left back.
No
*Writes 'L' and 'R' on Oncy's gun boots*
Kovacic isnt happening dude.
He didn't play at all last season. Are you on crack?
LAST season. We are still in this season
And he's out for 9 months.
No. Because we have knobheads in charge.

[article]The circle of football life goes on. A matter of days after Aston Villa secured the free transfer signing of once 'Next Big Thing' Micah Richards, the new kid on the block walks through the doors at Liverpool. Welcome to Anfield, Joseph Dave Gomez.
The central defender, born in 1997 but standing at a dominant 6ft 2, could not have asked for a more fitting warning concerning his progression. Richards, a player lauded for his physical attributes at such a young age, quickly discovered the path to stardom was more than a simple sprint and a shoulder barge. Many an English prospect lies by the wayside of that particularly well-trodden path.
After signing for Liverpool for a reported initial £3.5million, Gomez seems likely to greet them with a quick wave as he passes by sooner rather than later.
Of course, at the same point in his respective career, Richards was already a fully-fledged England international. Still the youngest-ever defender named in a Three Lions squad, the right-back had featured 79 times for Manchester City before exiting his teenage years. With 24 first-team appearances under his belt having only just turned 18, Gomez is staring into the abyss of his potential future.
It isn't just the trials and tribulations faced by Richards which Gomez will be expected to learn from. A long line of young centre-backs have tried and failed to make the grade at Anfield. Tiago Ilori, Jack Hobbs, Danny Wilson and Gabriel Paletta all serve as reminders of the difficulty of the tasks ahead.
Another who struggled at Liverpool in recent years was Sebastian Coates. Reports claim that Gomez is being signed to replace the Uruguayan. It's testament to his attitude that, despite his delve into the unknown, he wouldn't settle for a bit-part role even in his first season.
"Definitely, that's my aim," he said of hoping to compete for a first-team place from the start. "I want to come in and challenge and be involved. But I know that there's top-quality players and the centre-backs and defenders already here are great. I'd like to come in, do my best and learn from them."
An air of confidence and self-belief, but a youngster who knows full well how much he needs to improve. Gomez's physical attributes have rarely been doubted, but the mental aspect to his game is just as impressive.
"I know the Premier League is obviously a step up but hopefully I can take it in my stride. I'm ready to learn and I'm looking forward to it.
"I know that opportunities can be slim sometimes. But under a manager like Brendan, it speaks for itself."
For all his new manager's deficiencies, preventing the progression of youngsters is not a criticism that you can use for Rodgers. One hopes the Northern Irishman can learn from his mistakes with Emre Can et al., and not Phil Jones-ify Gomez into a utility man.
So amidst the cries of 'experience is needed', Liverpool fans can be assured they have a potential future England star on their hands, and just for £3.5m at that. Never mind 'experience', Gomez is more than ready to be drip-fed into the deep end come August.
