Hi ed001. What is your opinion of piotr zielinski? Seen him jorginho have both been linked in the last few days (for once let's hope the paper trash is true) . Seen you say you think jorginho would be an excellent signing. With Keita also coming in to you think Keita jorginho and zielinski would work hypothetically as a 3? I think it is a 3 to get excited about as well as having hendo, ox, wini, lallana to also come in.

{Ed001's Note - I have not seen a lot of Zielinski, we had interest in him a few windows back, so I tried to watch him but he was never playing in games I watched. What I have seen he looks like a Klopp-type of player but I don't know enough to really judge him.}

Cheers ed001.looks a handy player the few times I have seen him myself. As you said looks a klopp type player, probably cost a fortune but if klopp wants him fsg will back him.

{Ed001's Note - I have not seen him since he joined Napoli, but any player that fits their system should fit ours well. They try and play a similar game to ours.}

Is there genuine interest in him Ed001?

{Ed001's Note - Klopp likes him, he wanted him at Udinese (I think it was them he was at before) and has never dropped interest. I do not expect him to be bought this summer though, Napoli are not looking to weaken their team but to strengthen it.}

I have never seen Zielinski play for Napoli. He is always on the bench. He was very good at Empoli though alongside Paredes. Paredes got his big move to Juventus and Zielinski to Napoli; they impressed that much.

On the subject of Paredes, he is the better of the two in my opinion though. I'll whisper it, but i think Paredes would be a better signing for us than Zielinski or even Jorginho. He is younger, better defensively, physically built for the Premier League, and Roma are much easier to deal with than Napoli who will over price their players.

Mk. No need to whisper pal paredes is a very good player but correct me if I'm wrong did he not move to Russia. Zenit I think could be wrong on that one. The Russian clubs very difficult to deal with. I think we all agree it's just nice to be linked with top players again. Thank you again jurgen. Top manager, top club, top fans, top players all we need now is trophies.

MK but paredes plays for zenith now as Roma sold him the past window. and BTW zenith would cash in on him at right price.

Is either jorginio or zellinski a physical midfielder? I mean with can leaving are we looking to bring in a big strong midfielder? Does that make sense Ed? Cheers in advance.

He is a decent player and has been effective under Sarri. But he is not their first choice player. Allan is their star player. Underrated and a real workhorse in the middle. A proper upgrade on Wijnaldum!

Real are interested in Paredes. If I am right he was not regular at Roma. They had Pjnaic, Nainggolan and DeRossi playing in their midfield.

I have seen a lot of Zielinski. ( ask me anything about Napoli ) He often replaces Hamsik in the second half. He is more of an attacking mid like Wijnaldum but better technically. He has also scored a few goals.

Allan is the player you should have a look. I was a fan of him from the days of Udinese. He is the Kante at Napoli. The proper B2B player. Pace, Power and technically very good.

Any of the Napoli player would fit in easily under Klopp!

So what are the chances of us getting this bloke?

Would Napoli actually sell and would he not cost a pretty penny?

So much talk of Jorginho recently, seems like he's already been signed!

I thought Roma was your 2nd team? How didn't you know they let go of one of your ''favorite'' players man?! (am just kidding mate)

But on Roma being easier to deal with, didn't you know that since selling us Salah and the market changed they are extremely butt-hurt?

Any new player we try to sign from Roma will come with a Salah ''tax'' hehe.

First off, the Juventus bit was a typo. Nobody mentioned it so i assume it was obvious 😂 I thought he was only on loan at Zenit! My bad lads. Ruined my night that has. I thought Roma loaned him out for experience, not sold him! 😑

No idea how hard it is to deal with Zenit but I'd still take him at a good price. You're right though Harry, he wasn't a regular last season.

I like Paredes, but ed002 said Real Madrid are interested, he is a special talent. They sold him for 20 million £ to Zenit.

Zielinski is who Klopp wanted in the summer of 16/ 17 BUT the tapping up thing came up (I know, again) and Udinese refused to sell to us. They accepted lower bids from Napoli and Milan BUT he did not wanna go there and Udinese put their foot down and said LFC is a no go so he went there.

Zielinski is a player Klopp wanted and when it did not happen, he went for Wiji, I think. He is a box to box player who can get forward and score goals, backing up the attackling play and arriving late in the box. I have seen him play a bit at Napoli BUT a Jorginho, he is not. Jorginho is like a Keita type player who can break up play and launch attacks ASAP due to his rich range of passing THO he lacks the energy or drive of a KEita. It does look like he is who Klopp wants BUT good luck dealing with the head case that is the Napoli owner.
