LIVERPOOL have been linked with a summer move for Barcelona central midfielder Sergi Samper. In the past he has been compared by the Spanish press to Andrea Pirlo, while another journalist suggested he combined the best aspects of both Sergio Busquets and Xavi....
LIVERPOOL — fresh from the apparent mini-crisis of losing to two good football sides in the Premier League — face Newcastle United tomorrow who are in the midst of a genuine mess. A team that can’t win on the pitch, a manager the fans are unconvinced...
