Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy says making a managerial change was the "best way" for the Reds to move forward but he holds concerns over whether Andoni Iraola will have the right players at his disposal to suit his high-intensity style of play.

Murphy thinks fans will now approach the season with "excitement, rather than fear", with Iraola's appointment imminent.

However, the former midfielder added that he wonders if Iraola's Reds "will be able to play high-intensity football every few days because that will require a certain level of fitness - which we saw with Jurgen Klopp's teams with the flying full-backs, the midfield dynamism and the work-rate of the attackers.

"It's difficult to see how to create that with what he's got at the moment so the summer transfer window is huge for Liverpool in that respect.

"The current squad lacks legs and dynamism and isn't filled with brilliant players off the ball."

So, with the likes of Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson departing, who should Liverpool pursue in the transfer market to suit Iraola and add the "legs and dynamism" Murphy highlights? Essentially, how would you revamp the squad if you were in charge? Give us names.
