Is this the right moment for Liverpool to say goodbye to Virgil van Dijk? Craig makes the case for allowing the captain to leave at the end of his contract, arguing that age, succession planning and the wage figure discussed in the show make another extension a difficult decision.

Liverpool have spent heavily on two centre-forwards, but can Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike actually fit into the same team? Craig explores the attacking puzzle facing Andoni Iraola, arguing that accommodating both strikers could squeeze Florian Wirtz out of the position he was signed to occupy. Playing Ekitike wide brings another concern: sacrificing the direct pace and individual threat offered by Bradley Barcola, Rio Ngumoha and Victor Muñoz. Learn more about your ad choices.

Craig returns with another edition of Late Night Live on Anfield Agenda, discussing Liverpool's defensive rebuild, potential summer transfer targets and the performances of several big-money signings. Ronald Araújo's future takes centre stage as Craig questions whether the Uruguayan defender could become Virgil van Dijk's long-term successor and whether Liverpool should make his move permanent. With Giovanni Leoni, Jérémy Jacquet and Ifeanyi Ndukwe representing the next generation of Liverpool defenders, Craig discusses the importance of maintaining a balance between youth and experience. Attention also turns to Liverpool's full-back recruitment, with El Hadji Malick Diouf reportedly attracting interest from the Reds. Craig assesses his potential valuation and discusses Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall as alternative options. Meanwhile, Craig hits back at criticism of Bradley Barcola and Florian Wirtz, arguing that both players deserve patience as they adapt to life under Andoni Iraola. There's also discussion surrounding Alexander Isak's suitability to Liverpool's system, Lewis Koumas' long-term prospects and whether Federico Chiesa and Wataru Endo should move on in January.

Craig returns with another edition of Late Night Live on Anfield Agenda, discussing Liverpool's potential midfield shake-up, defensive recruitment and the future of several first-team stars. With Lamine Camara continuing to be linked with a January move to Anfield, Craig examines how the Monaco midfielder could fit into Andoni Iraola's system and what his arrival might mean for Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch. Craig questions Liverpool's contract strategy, arguing that allowing Mac Allister's value to decline would make little financial sense, while suggesting Gravenberch should face greater scrutiny over his performances. There's also discussion surrounding Ronald Araújo's long-term future and whether the Uruguayan could eventually succeed Virgil van Dijk as Liverpool's defensive leader. Craig hits back at criticism of Bradley Barcola and Florian Wirtz, calling for patience and questioning the scrutiny surrounding Liverpool's expensive signings. Elsewhere, attention turns to Liverpool's attacking options, Lewis Koumas' future and whether Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike can play together. Craig also delivers his passionate assessment of Manchester City's financial breaches case, explaining why he believes that any punishment must provide a meaningful deterrent if the findings are upheld.

Craig returns with another packed edition of Late Night Live on Anfield Agenda, discussing the latest Liverpool transfer news, contract developments and Manchester City's ongoing financial breaches case. Liverpool have reportedly added Brighton defender Luka Vušković to their summer transfer shortlist, with the highly rated 19-year-old valued at a staggering £85million. Craig questions whether Liverpool should spend such a significant fee on another young centre-back or prioritise a more experienced defender. Attention turns to Virgil van Dijk's uncertain future, with reports suggesting contract negotiations could extend into 2027. With the Liverpool captain reportedly earning £400,000 per week, Craig debates whether a new agreement should involve reduced wages and why the Reds cannot afford to delay their decision. There's also an encouraging update on Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara, with Craig discussing Liverpool's interest, the reported progress on personal terms and James Pearce's suggestion that the Reds could accelerate their transfer plans in January. Meanwhile, Craig reacts to reports that Manchester City could learn their sanctions as early as January, arguing that a single relegation would not be a sufficient punishment if the findings are upheld on appeal.
