What they're saying

"
With Conor Bradley out, getting Trent Alexander-Arnold back would be nice, but I can't see it. A solid number six and a solid centre-back are the must-haves; Barcola would be the icing on the cake. Fraser: I would sign Barcola and get home grown defenders, ideally a centre-back and right-back or a hybrid player in those roles.
