Closing the fierce transfer window, we analyze the wounds of "The Reds" Liverpool, the top English team, and assess whether Bradley Barcola can elevate the squad.
On 4 Sep 2026 GMT+7, the intense transfer window closed with an in-depth look at "The Reds" Liverpool, a famous Premier League club under Spanish manager Andoni Iraola. The program "Clear the Flank" by Thairath Sport, hosted by "Jay" Worapat Arunphakdi along with "Tangkui" Natthaphon Damrongrojwat and "Khun Chui" Somsak Sanguansap, analyzed new attacking signing Bradley Barcola’s potential impact on the team.
"Tangkui" Natthaphon Damrongrojwat said, "We talked a lot about the transfer fee. Setting that aside, I like this player. He has played at a high level for many years and has proven his quality. His style is fresh and fast, with excellent dribbling. However, including the transfer fee, it's not a cheap signing. Ultimately, whether the fee is high or low depends on his performance. I've stopped worrying about transfer fees since Cristiano Ronaldo moved from Manchester United to Real Madrid, which many thought was expensive at £80 million. But his performance justified the fee and even made it seem reasonable, especially compared to Kaka, who transferred around the same time for about £50-60 million."
Meanwhile, "Khun Chui" Somsak Sanguansap stated, "He’s a player Liverpool had to get. Anyone following him knows he stood out at Olympique Lyon and became truly exceptional after moving to Paris Saint-Germain. Liverpool needed a player with speed, and Bradley Barcola has explosive acceleration, excellent dribbling, and ball control. There’s no doubt about his ability; he has never suffered a serious injury and has been capped by the French senior national team."
