Juventus have accepted Paul Pogba's request to rejoin Manchester United, and the clubs have agreed a world-record £100m fee for the 23-year-old. (L'Equipe - in French)
United have agreed personal terms with the France international, who will sign a five-year contract worth £220,000 a week after tax. (Daily Mail)
The Red Devils will pay £18.4m to Pogba's agent, Mino Raiola, to complete the deal. (Guardian
Reds in for a SECOND Newcastle midfielder
Liverpool are reportedly keen on bringing Newcastle's Moussa Sissoko to Anfield, as well as his team-mate Georginio Wijnaldum.
ESPN are reporting that Liverpool face competition from Juventus for the French midfielder, who impressed at Euro 2016 and has said that he would like to stay in the Premier League.
 
So GW is all but confirmed. Happy with his signing unsure how Klopp intends to use him - but he's a better alternative to Zienlinksi IMO.

Interestingly, signing both Mane and GW could signal the end of Lallana as both play in the wide roles of the attacking trio (unless Klopp wants GW as Can's partner).

And £13m for Allen is a great deal considering he's in his last year of his contract. Shame to see him go.
 
So Skrtel is out and potentially Flanno leaving on loan. All we need our is Lucas is to leave and this will be a great summer.

According to Rafa Georginio Wijnaldum can play anywhere, that makes him a complete player??.

He is extremely versatile. Can play as number 10, out wide or CM.

I don't think he has the attributes to be a great CM alongside Can so I can see him as one of the attacking trio behind the striker.
 
Liverpool appear poised to act on their interest in Jordan Amavi, according to Le Parisien. Full story on Get French Football News tomorrow.

Always said that this kid is very talented and it was a shock that he joined Villa. But he would provide genuine competition for Moreno.
 
On the plus side, we bought Dietmar Hamann from Newcastle he won things with us, on minus side, we bought Andy Carroll from
them and we regretted it.. I hope buying Georginio Wijnaldum from them is going to be plus side.

Were linked early summer and spoke to my mate that's a villa fan and he said he isn't actually as bad as would think considering he plays for villa in their shocking defence. Think he's a bit like Moreno in that he's better going forward than he is defensively though.
 
Why Jurgen Klopp played a goalkeeper up front for Liverpool at Huddersfield Town

Goalkeeper Shamal George wearing the outfield shirt for Liverpool after coming on in the second half
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was forced to play 18-year-old goalkeeper Shamal George as an outfield player in the second half of the Reds' 2-0 friendly win over Huddersfield.
With all of Liverpool's outfield substitutes already on the pitch, Klopp was faced with a dilemma on the hour-mark when Lucas went down with a hamstring injury.
The Brazilian could not continue, and Klopp turned to his reserve 'keeper to play off lone striker Danny Ings, much to the crowd's delight at the John Smith's Stadium.
 
Some rumours about suggesting Klopp intends to play 433 next season as it suits our midfield options better. Therumoured set up being:

Karius
Clyne Matip Lovren Moreno
Can
Henderson Wejnaldum
Man Firmino Coutinho​

Of course Sturridge and Origi are yet to return for preseason so...

Think the question is, was he any good?

Often though some players are just wasting their time trying to play in the wrong position and would be much better somewhere on the pitch. Stems from youth coachs sticking a kid where the childs size fits on the pitch, ie big lads at CB etc, rather than where the kid is adept at playing.
