In the papers: Liverpool
After a busy day of newspaper gossip yesterday, things appear to have quietened down somewhat for Thursday. Nevertheless, there are some stories circulating the newspapers about Liverpool and one or two even involve transfers…
The first builds on the reports that have been circulating over recent weeks about Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha. According to the Daily Star, Dougie Freedman has told the player that he has a responsibility to do what is right by him and therefore suggests he stays at Selhurst Park. He says that he is at least guaranteed first team football there, something which may not occur at either Liverpool, Arsenal or Manchester City – the three clubs who are reportedly chasing him.
In other news, Daniel Agger has revealed to the Sun the reasons why he signed a new contract. The Danish central defender has said that he is proud to play for the Reds and feels part of the city. He also went on to say that the tattoos on his knuckles were meant to highlight this fact to supporters and that he is not worried about the future under the current regime.
The next report comes from Football Italia and involves a possible transfer. This outlet is claiming that Rodgers instructed scots to go and watch Genoa defender Andreas Granqvist, with representatives supposedly in the stands during Genoa’s recent game against Palermo. The report also goes on to say that Liverpool would have to fork out around €6m to land the player.
And finally, the last story is from the Daily Mail. This newspaper has run a short interview with Rodgers, with the manager stating that he is using the international break to try and crack that magic formula for the club. He also went on to say that Jose Enrique will be back training in the next week or so, which means he could start playing again very soon.
