Liverpool journalist Paul Gorst has stated that a bad transfer window could set the Reds back years after expressing fears over their chances of qualifying for the Champions League.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have had a poor start to the campaign that has left them sixth in the Premier League, seven points behind fourth-place Tottenham Hotspur and 15 behind Arsenal, leaders at the beginning of the season.
The Merseyside club also have Man City in the Carabao Cup and Real Madrid in the Champions League, so the chance of going trophyless this season is quite high.
Liverpool journalist Paul Gorst has claimed that January will be a “huge month” for the Reds, with the club in a delicate position as they try to finish in the top four with a successful transfer window potentially being the catalyst to securing that place. .

Speaking about the January window for the Blood Red podcast, Gorst stated: “I think you have to speculate to accumulate, essentially. Because if Liverpool don’t make the top four this season, it will set them years back.
“You really can’t afford not to have Champions League money, and let’s face it, they look more like a glamorous prospect for any outside investors or direct buyers if they’re a club that’s also in the Champions League.
“Maybe now is the time to be a little bolder, to take a little risk here or there. Because if they don’t and it doesn’t work out for them, then you’re looking at next season and they’re not in the Champions League.
“This is a massive month for Liverpool.”
