Jamie Redknapp has suggested that Liverpool did the right thing by not signing a full-back during the summer transfer window, contrary to the opinion of many Reds supporters.Although Andoni Iraola has two players for both full-back positions in his squad, one of those (Conor Bradley) faces another few months out with a serious knee injury that he suffered at the start of this year.Jeremie Frimpong has duly been starting at right-back in the 23-year-old’s absence, but the Dutchman has come under fire for his performances in the opening weeks of the season. On the other flank, Milos Kerkez is first choice ahead of Kostas Tsimikas, who’s returned from his loan spell at Roma last term.Redknapp: Liverpool were right not to sign a full-backSpeaking to Sky Sports, Redknapp believes that Liverpool were ‘sensible’ not to spend money on a new right-back when they have Bradley to return from injury, while he’s also backed Iraola to get the best out of the Hungary international on the opposite flank.The former Reds midfielder said: “You have to be mindful of the players they have out injured. Conor Bradley is hopefully going to be fit soon. You bring a full-back in and then you stop his development. You have to be sensible about these things.“Frimpong, for me, isn’t a right-back. He signed as a wing-back and he doesn’t look comfortable in his position. Kerkez hasn’t been the signing that people would’ve hoped. You’d like to think with Andoni Iraola going there that he can get the best out of him.”(Photo by Justin Setterfield/Getty Images)Want more Empire of the Kop coverage?
