NEIL Atkinson presents The Anfield Wrap’s CityTalk show and this week he is joined in the Radio City Tower by Ian Salmon, Charlie Christian and Stuart Wright.
Reality is finally starting to dawn on Neil, who has been struggling with the idea of Leicester City being crowned Premier League Champions. Liverpool could do the Foxes a huge favour at Anfield on Saturday by beating Tottenham Hotspur. So, will they?
Spurs will be a tough test – is that the ideal preparation for an even tougher game next week when Liverpool go to Borussia Dortmund?
The Reds need to attack and defend better, and on a more consistent basis. Is this group capable? Who can shine? Who can step up?
The panel also look to the summer and the latest transfer gossip surrounding Anfield. Who can we sign? Who should we sign? Who is staying cautious and who is getting carried away with the gossip?
The Reds are back in business. In more ways than one.
Who knows, perhaps we have shown an interest in an unremarkable Argentinian striker, but it smells fishy to me.
I would guess this is coming from agent or selling club (you didn’t seem to ask, unless I missed it?). I don’t think the updated work permit rules do anything to help with this transfer. He isn’t an international player at all, let alone one with sufficient caps.
We already have work permit issues with Allan which means we probably won’t see him in a Liverpool shirt for another year. Can’t see us spending £10m on a 23 year old who we would then have to loan out.
Ed explains in the podcast the new work permit rules and how this guy will qualify for one pretty easily.
