Club legend Robbie Fowler thinks supporters are right to feel concerned about Liverpool s lack of transfer business as they need three signings.
I know Liverpool’s supporters are a little concerned with the lack of activity in the transfer market,

There is still plenty of time to do some business but ideally you want to give new signings a few weeks to settle into their environment.
