Liverpool Reignite Pursuit of Napoli's Zielinski
Liverpool have found themselves back in the pursuit of Napoli's central midfielder, Piotr Zielinski, as the summer transfer window approaches.
The Reds had previously set their sights on the Polish international in 2016, but Jurgen Klopp ultimately decided to bring Gini Wijnaldum from Newcastle United to Anfield instead.
Nevertheless, the rumours surrounding Liverpool's interest in Zielinski have persisted over the years, and with his contract set to expire in 2024, it seems the Merseyside club may be ready to reignite …
Leandro Paredes - The Midfielder Liverpool Lack?
Jurgen Klopp has refused to rule out any incomings between now and the end of the transfer window. There's still hope within the fan base that the Reds will bring in a left-back to displace/challenge Alberto Moreno as well as a controlling/tempo setting midfielder to turn a 7/10 window into a potential 9/10 window. The latter seems less likely given Liverpool are pretty stocked when it comes to midfielders.
Depending on what formation Klopp decides to go with will see …
Liverpool's Scatty Transfer Window?
Despite the general consensus being Liverpool have had a fairly solid transfer window there have been questions raised regarding the clubs' strategy and why, to those on the outside, it seems rather disjointed.
The confusion seems to surround the signings of Sadio Mane and Gini Wijnaldum. The pair arrived for a combined £55 Million after the pursuits of other players came to an end. The press had identified the other players as top targets. The likes of Alex Teixeira, Mario …
Emre Can, how does Klopp use him?
With silly season in full flow, there's much debate to be had over how Jürgen Klopp is going to strengthen his team for the upcoming season, with new signing's demanded by the Liverpool faithful.
However, surely when considering a signing, you need to establish what you've already got in each position. Therefore, decision's must be made as to which role a player is going to be used in week in, week out, something that isn't all that clear to Emre …
Liverpool's Zielinski Puzzle
The Piotr Zielinski and Liverpool FC saga has been a bit like a high school romance. They even went down the clichéd route of trying to make the other one jealous. Liverpool reportedly cooled their interest in Zielinski and started to look at Gladbach's Mahmoud Dahoud whereas Zielinski and his agent talked about interest from Napoli.
Both are interested in one another, both have dropped hints implying they want to be with each other but for whatever reason something is …
DoF Fantasy Series Part 3: How I'd spend £100m at Liverpool
Today I came across an idea - or rather stole it from the AnfieldIndex guys, in particular it was an article written by @SamMcGuire90 which you can read here.
Basically he was told to think like a Director of Football or Sports Director - or whatever name you want to use for that exact position - and concentrate only on the transfer aspect of it, leaving all the boring organisational stuff behind. He was also told to work with a budget of £100m but …
The end of Liverpool?
Mourinho. Guardiola. Conte. Wenger. Klopp.
If there was an Expendables movie for football managers, it would surely include all five of these esteemed and widely respected managers, all of whom have a history of success at the top level. Yet whilst the movement of two of the most impressive managers of recent years, in Mourinho and Guardiola, to the Premier League is a spectacle for both the neutral observer and fans of competition teams alike, it may well herald the definitive end …
Have the Leaks been Plugged at Liverpool?
Many Liverpool fans used to gear themselves up for 10.30pm every single night of the week. It was a ritual. If you'd had a shit day at work then you'd sit on it. It would be worthwhile because between the times of 10.30-11pm anything goes on Liverpool Twitter. That was your window of opportunity to just lose your mind. It was almost therapeutic to join in with everybody else letting out their frustrations. The club took the brunt of it …
Can Piotr Zielinski Become Klopp’s Latest Polish Sensation?
There is something special between Polish players and Jurgen Klopp. Lukas Piszczek, Jakub Błaszczykowski, Robert Lewandowski all have developed into great players under the guidance of the former Dortmund boss and all of them have been relatively unknown figures within the football world before they joined him at Westfalenstadion.
With Liverpool now being heavily linked with a move for Empoli's Piotr Zielinski in the summer, Reds fans will certainly be hoping that Klopp will be able to do his magic and help another Polish player rise …
