Firmino Leaving Could Help This Prospect
Liverpool are set to lose an all-time club legend in Roberto Firmino this summer after eight years on Merseyside, but one player in Jurgen Klopp's squad could benefit from his departure.
This player would be Fabio Carvalho, who has struggled for minutes in the second half of the 2022/23 season.
A major factor behind Liverpool's late season success has been the remarkable depth in the front three with Klopp having the choice between Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota, Darwin …

Renewing James Milner Is a Step Backwards
Another year goes by, which brings us to the moment where James Milner is primed to be given yet another 1 year’s contract extension.
I’m a fan of James Milner, as I believe he has a superb attitude for football, can offer vast experience (to younger players) and can be a senior presence on the training ground. For the last two years, I have wanted Adrián to have his own contract renewed, as it offered a great level training …
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 …
Could Diogo Jota Become the Odd Man Out?
A few reports surfaced on Wednesday that had Newcastle perhaps interested in making an offer for Liverpool forward, Diogo Jota. The Magpies are looking to accelerate the growth of their footballing enterprise, making some very good acquisitions since their change in ownership. Eddie Howe has invested well thus far, with a clear intention to create a defensively solid foundation. Sven Botman and Bruno Guimarães stand out as brilliant additions, whilst Kieran Trippier has brought in a good level of experience …
Goodbye, Bobby: The poster boy of the Jurgen Klopp era
So, the Roberto Firmino era at Liverpool is coming to an end. Yep, I'm in floods of tears, too.
Last week, the Reds' brilliant Brazilian announced that he wouldn't be signing a new deal at Anfield this summer, with the news met with much sadness by many.
Firmino's world-class talents may have waned since the title-winning 2019/20 season, with the freshness in his legs and all-round impact deserting him, but he remains adored by the fanbase.
From a purely nostalgic …
