Ed001, ed002 and posters. Any championship players that could make the jump to a premier league side over the summer (aside from the ones being promoted to cut the witty jokes out! ) .
Ed002 i think you posted on a different site saying LFC had looked at Dack from Gillingham. Is there any update on that?
Dont see as many players stepping up as we used to, certainly none that aren't "wonderkids" like oxlade and alli.
Cheers.

{Ed002's Note - Gillingham's Bradley Dack has drawn scouts from Bristol City, Crystal Palace, Newcastle, Arsenal, Brighton, Liverpool, Ipswich Town and Spurs to watch him this season. Gillingham rejected an offer from Bristol City in January. Liverpool are certainly interested and Dack did manage a couple of goals when watched by Liverpool and Ipswich representatives. Crystal Palace have made their interest known to Gillingham and I would not be surprised to see a premier league offer for Dickory in the summer.}

why does it seem like we're only ever interested in midfielders?

Evening all,
An Italian Journalist has suggested a €15m has been submitted to Udinese for Zielinski, now i appreciate he has been covered extensively over recent weeks, so are you aware of any change in the situation recently eds?
As always, appreciate your time
A-P.

{Ed002's Note - I understand that finally Liverpool has spoken with a very pissed off Udinese.}

I take it we went about this the wrong way ed with the player suggesting direct contact from Klipperty?

{Ed002's Note - The club has been accused of tapping up the player, yes.}

Why a pissed off udinese? Have I missed something? What is wrong with talking to the club about a player?

Probably because Zielinksi himself has been suggesting that we've tapped him up, LFC forever.

He isn't very good in Football Manager. That's all the scouting I need.

I know we've got form Ed002 so why would we be so stupid as to do this again? Do we not learn?

Decent player, would hope to get better quality especially in the centre of the park, he's like a poorer version of kovacic.

Kman I expect he'd be a squad player. Look how much weaker we are with Hendo and Çan injured!

Kovacic is quality, and if there is a small chance we could sign him, then we should.

Whoever did the tapping or instigated or supervised it should be managed out of the club.

I don't want to sound dumb (I know I generally do lol) but what constitutes tapping up? If say Klopp just had LFC representatives ask Zielinski or his representatives if he would be open to a move, would that count as tapping up? Would you need his clubs permission to take these small steps? I can understand Udinese getting upset if we were discussing terms and contract details without their permission but just seeing if a guy was open to a move before going any further is just common sense in my opinion. Have LFC actually gone further than this?

{Ed002's Note - You cannot make a direct approach to a player. The club can speak to his agent or representatives.}
05 May 2016 11:06:33
Didn't Zielinski come out himself and say that he in fact had embellished some of the details anyway?
Agree0
Disagree1
{Ed002's Note - The player has said he was approached directly by Klopp and that the two of them have spoken - but when all of the fuss started, he retracted that and said that Liverpool approached Empoli and not him - which is rather bizarre as he is only on loan at Empoli and they would need to approach Udinese.}

Actually Zielinkski for 15mil is no small sum. Hope we can clinch him without texieira fiasco.
