Of the players Liverpool were hoping to ditch, whether to sell or loan, Sakho, Ilori and Markovic seem to be staying. Markovic seemed to be on the verge of a move to Sporting, to be reunited with Jorge Jesus, then rumors of Milan and Newcastle, but nothing came through. Ilori got some interest from a couple of clubs, but only for loan, and I think Liverpool wants to sell.
I think they upgraded this window, but at the same time it's a little odd they weren't able to get a left back or a midfielder with presence (whether that's physical, attitude, or a game management presence) -- I think most of the squad is kind of soft. I'd also like another explosive offensive player, but hey, whatcha gonna do.
