SOUTHAMPTON TO LOSE MORE PLAYERS

Southampton are set to lose more players when the transfer window re-opens or at the end of the season as interests in two defenders soar.


The Saints could lose Virgil van Dijk and Jose Fonte to Liverpool and Manchester United respectively. The central defensive pairing have been impressive this term but with top clubs keen on landing the players, Southampton might have a situation on their hands in keeping the players for much longer.

Talks with Euro 2016 winner, Fonte has stalled despite reports that the player’s rep and the club started discussions about a new deal since August. The current deal is set to lapse in 2018, meaning the player has to sign a new one soon else the club would be forced to get the best of the situation by trading him. The Red Devils approached the south coast side for a deal regarding the 32-year old during the summer but coach Claude Puel – who took over after former boss Ronald Koeman moved to Everton – refused to sanction the deal with the transfer deadline close.

KEVIN STEWART IMPRESSES FOR LIVERPOOL

The 22-year old talent plying his trade with Liverpool impressed Jurgen Klopp with his performance against Stoke City. Kevin Stewart was handed his full premier league debut in the match as The Reds rounded up their opponents in a 4-1 victory to boost their chances for UEFA Europa League next season.

I need to keep improving and listening to him.” Continue reading KEVIN STEWART IMPRESSES FOR LIVERPOOL

Liverpool completed the signing of Christian Benteke but Rodgers wants more

Brendan Rodgers is having an active and busy summer transfer window as he has already signed: Adam Bogdan, Nathaniel Clyne, Danny Ings and James Milner. These are just a few of the high-profile signings that have recently arrived to Anfield.

Even with all of these new signings, Brendan Rodgers still seems to be interested in adding more players to the team and Liverpool are now setting their sights on Marco Reus from Borussia Dortmund.

Signing Marco Reus will be easier said than done as Real Madrid is also keeping a close eye on the German midfielder. Brendan Rodgers received an injection of cash of €49 million after having sold Raheem Sterling and this money might be used as a way to lure in Marco Reus to Anfield but it still remains uncertain if that cash will be enough to sign the 26 year old midfielder who has also attracted the attention of Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United.

Brendan Rodgers received a lot of hate from Liverpool fans after he decided to sell Luis Suarez and replaced him with a bunch of players who have done nothing except disappoint and Mario Balotelli commands that list, Rodgers still hasn’t appropriately found a player who can replace Luis Suarez but he is hoping that this gap will be filled in some way or another by signing Marco Reus and the English manager is prepared to spend big bucks in securing his services.

Despite not winning any major trophies, Adam Lallana has defended Brendan Rodgers

It has been a little over 3 years since Brendan Rodgers was selected as the new manager of Liverpool as he replaced Kenny Dalglish.

Fans of Liverpool had high expectations of Rodgers as he had just finished going through a superb managerial period of time with Swansea City where he was able to guide the English club from the Championship League into the Premier League as well as being awarded with the Championship Manager of the Month Award  for February.

Swansea City were favorites of being relegated after they got into the Premier League but thanks to a string of positive results, Brendan Rodgers and his squad managed to stay safe away from the bottom relegation zone during that season. Important points were secured despite playing against top clubs such as: Liverpool, Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea.

This impressive stint that Brendan Rodgers spent as the head coach of Swansea City was one of the reasons on why the Northern Irish coach was sought out by the executives of Liverpool but unfortunately for the club at Anfield, Rodgers has struggled trying to replicate what he accomplished with Swansea City.

Ever since his arrival to Anfield on June of 2012, Liverpool has not lifted a huge piece of silverware. The FA Cup, Champions League, Premier League, everything has been out of the reach of Brendan Rodgers and Liverpool. It hasn’t been an impressive period of time for the Premier League club.

The most successful season of Liverpool with Brendan Rodgers at the helm has been so far, during the 2013-14 season when the English side managed to seal the 2nd place of the Premier League but a big reason on why Liverpool was able to finish in such a high position was due to Luis Suarez as the Uruguayan attacker scored 23 goals and provided 5 assists during that season.
