Zaryab — Sun, 05 Nov 2017 06:19:33 +0000

Liverpool needed to sign a left back in the summer transfer window and they did complete that objective by hiring the services of Andrew Robertson from Hull City.
However, the Scottish international has warmed the bench under the management of Jurgen Klopp and the German boss has preferred Alberto Moreno in the starting XI.
The Spanish international has improved to an extent but still the Reds have conceded a lot of goals this season and in the attacking third, he has not provided a single assist in the Premier League (8 appearances).

In all fairness, the Merseysiders still need a quality left back who will serve the club in the long run. As per latest reports, Liverpool are linked with Scottish fullback Kieran Tierney (via Daily Record).
The 20-year-old starlet is a versatile talent who can effectively play in the left hand side of the midfield as well. This season, he has been in top form and therefore, top clubs are interested in hiring his services.
The youngster is already rated (Star) around 35 million pounds ($46million) and Liverpool have to splash the cash to secure his signature ahead of teams like Spurs and Manchester United who also want him.
Solid at the back and productive in the attacking third, Klopp must sign the talented starlet. Kieran has featured in 24 games for Celtic in all competitions this season and directly contributed in 6 goals so far (2 goals and 4 assists).

Not Van Dijk – Klopp Ready to Agree £40million Star Signing for Liverpool

Zaryab — Thu, 01 Dec 2016 06:28:09 +0000

After signing a new goalie Loris Karius and two central defenders in the form of Joel Matip and Ragnar Klavan in the summer transfer window, Liverpool’s defense has been inconsistent this season.
In such a scenario, the Reds are looking to further reinforce their back line in the winter window and reports are heavily linking them with a move for Southampton star Virgil van Dijk.

Experienced 6ft Player Ready to Agree Liverpool Move

Omer — Mon, 21 Nov 2016 19:00:07 +0000

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp splashed the cash in the summer transfer window and signed players to reinforce his defense and solve the defensive dilemma.
The Merseysiders signed the likes of Ragnar Klavan and Joel Matip to strengthen the central defense and also lured a new goalie in the form of Loris Karius.
However, the Reds have still been shaky at the back and have managed only two clean sheets in twelve league games so far this season.
Recently, Rangers’ 38-year-old defender Clint Hill has told Rangers TV that he will love to agree Liverpool move if he got the chance. When asked which club he will like to play for, Clint replied:

“I support Liverpool. So, I would love to go and play for them.”

French central defender Mamadou Sakho is only playing in the reserves and it will not come as any surprise if the former PSG star leaves the club in the January transfer window.
Hill has all the experience but it is highly likely that Klopp will consider the 6ft veteran to replace someone like Sakho. Moreover, with Lovren, Matip, Klavan and Gomes around, Liverpool do not really need to sign another central defender.
Therefore, Clint’s wish of playing in the Red shirt may not come true. The Reds must sign a new left back in the winter window if they do focus on further strengthening the back line.

As per the provided Mail link, United sent a scout to watch Moussa on Monday against England where he netted two goals for the U-21 French side. Moreover, Mourinho is an admirer of the youngster and has personally watched him three times during the last campaign.

Manchester United need a new right full back in the summer transfer window. However for now, they have let go one of their own.
19 year old Swiss international Saidy Janko will be joining Scottish giants Celtic as officially confirmed via twitter by Manchester United.

“We’d like to wish Swiss teenager Saidy Janko all the best. He’s joining Scottish side Celtic.#mufc”

Celtic have confirmed the signing on their official website as well.
The youngster featured 28 times for Manchester United’s U21 side and never really impressed enough to regularly deserve a first team place.
Still, Janko did make one senior appearance for the Red Devils in the Capital one Cup last season where United were ripped apart 4-0 by MK Dons.
In the winter window, Janko was loaned out to Championship side Bolton Wanderers for regular first team football and he played 10 games for them.
Saidy featured in combined 22 games last season and was even utilized in attack as RM instead of his usual fullback position. He scored 1 goal and provided 4 assists. It will be intriguing to see where Celtic will look to play the young defender.

Scottish Football 'Armageddon' A Breath of Fresh Air

Ian Mulholland — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 08:30:41 +0000

2012 was a turbulent year in Scotland. Something had to give. Not just financially at Rangers FC but for the whole of the Scottish League.
There once was a time when TV money and the sponsorship it brought helped fund big signings such as Chris Sutton (£6m – Celtic) and other top players. They would flock to one of the Old Firm for a chance at silverware and get a tidy wage to boot.
Not long after that particular signing the SPL rejected a reduced offer from Sky TV in 2002 and opted to set up their own TV channel. After that idea proved nothing short of disastrous they ended up signing on severely decreased terms with BBC Scotland, followed by Setanta Sports (which went into administration) and then scooped up at even more reduced terms with Sky and ESPN.
The way Scottish football has went about its business, the past decade has been nothing short of farcical. A failure to understand that the product was no longer as appealing to viewers outside the country is something the league has failed to grasp. It relied heavily on the the two Glasgow clubs bitter rivalry as its main draw and as such the two clubs used their power to gain the majority off what little TV money was available, dominating the league with no other club winning the top flight outside Celtic and Rangers since Aberdeen in 1985. What’s so appealing about a two horse race? Nothing, unless you happen to follow one of the two.
So when Rangers went into administration on Valentines day last year the inevitable media circus that followed predicted doomsday on the horizon. The punters were persistently told a league without the ‘lucrative’ Old Firm clashes seemed akin to simply just shutting down and throwing away the key. The Scottish Football Association chief executive Stewart Regan even went as far to say:
‘The only solution for the game now is that Rangers come into the Football League and they come into it at the First Division. Perhaps clubs could survive for a short period of time, but it’s not sustainable.The game is not sustainable, so there would be a slow, lingering death for the game in Scotland. It would then trickle down to the Football League.’

This blatant display of self-interest provoked anger amongst fans. The lack of leadership and short-sightedness from the people at the top struck a note with supporters, many threatening boycotts if Rangers NewCo were allowed instantly back into the SPL or First Division. Club chairmen listened and the SPL, then followed soon after by First Division clubs, voted swiftly against the instant return of a NewCo Rangers and they were forced to start all over again in the Third Dvision.
It’s a short winter break now and we still await the predicted Armageddon. In my opinion things are looking more positive for the league than ever. Celtic have progressed to the last sixteen of the Champions League and other clubs below now feel they can contest for a European place. Whilst the loss of Rangers travelling fans and the funds their supporters bring to the SPL’s cash strapped members has forced budget cuts, the clubs have abided to their fans wishes and the competitions righteousness remains intact. The removal of Rangers has also seen the status quo torn up and forced the issue of restructure and re-branding upon the Football Association. It is something that has been years overdue.
Proposals have been initially agreed by member clubs. A bamboozling new set up of 12-12-18 and it turning into an 8-8-8-18 with play-offs, right, okay, its getting silly looking now but at least it’s showing intent for progression, competitiveness and more importantly an acceptance that change is needed. The next change must then be the removal of Stewart Regan and Neil Doncaster (SPL Chairman) for their disgraceful lack of leadership throughout Scottish Football’s most difficult period.

The death of Rangers has almost been one of sacrifice. Had they sauntered back in as if nothing had happened then any integrity the league had would have been lost. What every club still has failed to recognise though is that the fans got them into this position and preserved the honour that no club is bigger than the league. Without the threats of boycotts we would see an SPL still with Rangers and it all carry on as normal.
The clubs should now reward their fans with lower ticket prices. Their failure to recognise that the quality of the product has declined but yet continue to increase ticket prices serves only to hurt the game even further. If the Scottish fans don’t recognise the game as value for money, then what makes them think the TV companies will?
