Historic change is coming with CRAZY Liverpool transfer plan

Liverpool reportedly have a crazy transfer plan in mind. It's one that would bring historic change to the team.

Liverpool spent enormously in the summer, with over £400m going out on new players. Around £200m came in to subsidise it somewhat but no matter how you look at it, this was an incredible spend.

But it hasn't really worked. Liverpool aren't even as good as they were last season, let alone better, and the team looks entirely broken right now.

More change is needed, be it through transfers or change of shape. The worst-case scenario is that the change needed is with the head coach - but there's a long way to go before that.

There's a chance that the first two changes are actually combined, too. Liverpool may want to bring in a new player or two in order to change their shape and there are certainly suggestions that this is the case.

The club's clear plans to sign a centre-back point to new plans in defence and that may just shift the rest of the team, too.

Liverpool's strike force

A massive chunk - around half - of Liverpool's summer spend went on strikers. They brought in Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak, breaking the British transfer record for the latter.

It was always a strange one. Ekitike almost certainly joined believing he'd be a starting player for Liverpool, given he rejected several clubs where that would have been the case.

There's no question that Isak also believes he should start every week. He doesn't blow up his reputation at Newcastle United unless it was to be the main man.

Well, is it possible that both start? Is that the real plan?

A 3-5-2 system could actually be the idea, with wingbacks offering the width and a no.10 playing behind two strikers. The desire to sign a new centre-back points to that, as does the fact Liverpool signed wingbacks as new full-backs this summer.

They also didn't sign a winger to replace Luis Diaz, which again points to wanting the deeper players to offer the width. Now there's also a suggestion from Florian Plettenberg that Liverpool are looking at signing a new striker.

There is no need to do that unless the Reds want to play with two strikers. Otherwise, why sign three strikers within a season for just one position?

That plan would absolutely suggest a major tactical change is on the way. 3-5-2 may well be it - a system Liverpool haven't called their own since the late 1990s.
