Scouting Report: Florian Wirtz

Scouting Report: Florian Wirtz

They’re coming through at some pace now as the summer months draw closer. Talk of investment and a potential new Sporting Director gathers speed and so naturally does the rumours around players being linked to Liverpool. This time we look at a player whose been suggested for a move to Anfield for some time and whose on the radar of all major European clubs. This one wouldn’t be cheap and we’d have to use all the powers and connections that …
Which Italian Players Would Improve the Reds?

Which Italian Players Would Improve the Reds?

With yet another international break upon us, I was keen to look at which countries players could improve this Liverpool team. I chose to concentrate on England’s upcoming opposition, Italy, who they face this coming Thursday. Their trip to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona will be an intriguing watch, with two European giants often producing a decent spectacle. Below is a selection of players from Roberto Mancini’s 30-man Italian squad, that I believe could improve the Liverpool ranks. Giorgio Scalvini …
Scouting Report: Mason Mount

Scouting Report: Mason Mount

Ahead of the summer window, we’re bringing back the Scouting Report series and this is the one that just won’t seem to go away. There was an expectation that Mason Mount would have renewed his contract with Chelsea by now, but for whatever reason that hasn’t happened. The links to Liverpool continue on a weekly basis and for any rumours around his father being a guest at Anfield to being name-checked by the likes of Neil Jones and Paul Joyce, …
Could Enzo Le Fée Become the Thiago Understudy?

Could Enzo Le Fée Become the Thiago Understudy?

I’ve always loved the idea of senior and highly established players mentoring young talents. This season, we have heard that Stefan Bajčetić has been taken under the wing of his fellow Spaniard, Thiago Alcantara. Our number six is one of the world’s finest central midfielders, therefore it is heartening to hear that he is using his experience to help the next generation of Liverpool player. So often we have heard of players, such as Cristian Ronaldo, trying to create avenues …
Could Marcus Edwards Be the Perfect Backup Signing?

Could Marcus Edwards Be the Perfect Backup Signing?

I’ve been looking at various players that Liverpool could look to recruit this summer, and more recently, those could replace the role of Diogo Jota within the squad. If reports are to be believed, Newcastle are currently hovering over the Portuguese forward, and it would not be absurd to see us cash in on our 5th choice forward. With a fee likely to be above £70m, there is a potential move that could suit both the player and more importantly, …
Which Fringe Players To Be Loaned, Sold or Retained?

Which Fringe Players To Be Loaned, Sold or Retained?

Each footballer’s pathway requires a specific and unique approach when starting out at any elite club. So many young prodigies and supposed generational talents will always emerge, yet can be lost within the shuffle of upper tier entities. With the need for success now so desperate, we are witnessing managers come and go, as frequent as the campaigns pass. Footballing ideologies and the willingness to immerse academy products, can be differing and forever dependent on who is the current holder …
Luka Sučić & The Need for New Blood

Luka Sučić & The Need for New Blood

It’s no surprise to see another player being linked that has been through the corridors of either RB Salzburg or Leipzig’s footballing machine. Despite having a recruiting model that was once so fruitful, our ability to regenerate our tired empire sees us once more looking towards their own roster of players. It’s clear that there will be a combination of expensive and smart signings (this summer), therefore the lesser known quantities may not be Jude alternatives as feared, but merely …
Manuel Ugarte: the Fabinho Successor 

Manuel Ugarte: the Fabinho Successor 

There seems to be a growing theory that Fabinho could be moved on in the summer. The former Monaco man has been as important as any other player in helping Liverpool regain both the English league title and Champions League trophies. His falloff in the past 12 months has been gradual, yet the drop-off this season has been dramatic. Last season the Brazilian and Thiago were able to form a controlling midfield partnership that dominated most games. The issue is …
Anfield Departure Lounge: Cashable Options

Anfield Departure Lounge: Cashable Options

If you offered all Reds the option, you suspect most would be happy to call the season now and move straight to the summer window. Every game that Liverpool play seems to serve as a stark reminder of the rebuild that’s needed before next season. Jurgen Klopp has changed tack slightly and spoke publicly in his press conference embargo about the obvious need to do business when this season finishes. For all the talk over incomings, we look at possible …
Why Harvey Barnes Should Be a Summer Option

Why Harvey Barnes Should Be a Summer Option

At the seasons start, you could have been confident that the likes of Pep Guardiola, Jürgen Klopp, and Antonio Conte would have been fighting it out for top honours at the end of this campaign, yet the latter two have suffered either mild or scary lapses in their usual levels, whilst the Etihad is under heavy investigation. This coming summer will offer multiple questions for each respective head coach, and their current positions. For varying reasons, all three elite level …
