Bring back our golden gloves karius
 
Naona kila dalili kuwa Pep Guardiola ataandika Historia Msimu huu wa kuwa Bingwa wa EPL (90%), UCL (60%), SUPERCUP (80%) na CLUB WORLD CUP (90%) akiwa na Man City.

Sasa rasmi Man City inaenda kuingia kwenye kundi la Timu kubwa 👏👏👏
Something tells me Pep akichukua UCL if he is that lucky this season atachukua sabbatical immediately maana hio ndio ilikua prime profiling ya ajira yake.

Muda utasema maana babu Pep always over thnik kuanzia semi faino.

8 centre-backs linked with Liverpool summer transfer so far(This is Anfield) 👇 👇 👇 👇
1) Levi Colwill – Brighton (on loan from Chelsea)
What we say: At 20, he fits the bill as a young, up-and-coming defender who has senior experience on loan with Huddersfield and Brighton.

On the books at Chelsea and with two years remaining on his deal, he could be convinced to make a move. Liverpool will be enthused by his 80.6 percent success rate in aerial duels.

You suspect Chelsea will not be letting him go easy or on the cheap, though.

2)Josko Gvardiol – Leipzig
Most reliable link: Florian Plettenberg (Sky Germany)
Suitability to Liverpool: 8 (out of 10)
Likelihood of a move: 4 (out of 10)
What we say: Not as strong aerially, Gvardiol is another young centre-back who has shown plenty of promise – which has attracted widespread interest and ramped up the possible fee.

Known for his front-foot defending and ability on the ball, key attributes needed in Klopp’s system, but the fee, when considering all of Liverpool’s needs, is likely to be prohibitive.

3) Antonio Silva – Benfica
Most reliable link: Neil Jones (Goal)
Suitability to Liverpool: 5 (out of 10)
Likelihood of a move: 5 (out of 10)

What we say: At 19, Silva has become a key member of Benfica’s side and was part of Portugal’s World Cup squad in Qatar.

Is right-footed and is deployed as a right centre-back, but his ability on both feet does allow for the flexibility to move to the other side – which is an appreciated asset – but aerial duels are not his strength.

4)Goncalo Inacio – Sporting
Most reliable link: Neil Jones (Goal)
Suitability to Liverpool: 7 (out of 10)
Likelihood of a move: 5 (out of 10)

What we say: A left-sided centre-back who continues the theme of fitting the young age profile at just 21, but he already has 113 first-team appearances.

Is a front-foot defender, eager to lay a tackle and start the chain of possession from the back – qualities which would not go amiss at Anfield.

5)Jarrad Branthwaite – PSV (on loan from Everton)
Most reliable link: Neil Jones (Goal)
Suitability to Liverpool: 7 (out of 10)
Likelihood of a move: 6 (out of 10)

What we say: A left-sided centre-back who can also contribute at left-back, Branthwaite has racked up 66 senior appearances for four different clubs by age 20 – and, as a result, he’s been teammates with Cody Gakpo before.

Question is, would Everton be willing to watch him move to Anfield? Relegation may leave them with little choice, though!


6)Perr Schuurs – Torino
Most reliable link: Neil Jones (Goal)
Suitability to Liverpool: 5 (out of 10)
Likelihood of a move: 3 (out of 10)

What we say: One of the ‘older’ names in this list at 23, Schuurs only swapped Ajax for Torino last summer and the Italian side are likely to be resistant to letting him go so soon

There are question marks over his ability in the air, something Pep Lijnders has previously stressed the importance of, saying: “Our centre-halves need to be strong in the air because pressing creates long balls. You need players who can solve these situations.”

7)Nayef Aguerd – West Ham
Most reliable link: Neil Jones (Goal)
Suitability to Liverpool: 5 (out of 10)
Likelihood of a move: 3 (out of 10)

What we say: Aguerd is 27 and 2022/23 is his first Premier League season, a player who is comfortable on the ball and is composed when making challenges.

He has a 50 percent success rate in his aerial duels, though, which is not a convincing return when we know how important the trait is at Anfield

8)Jurrien Timber – Ajax
Most reliable link: Voetbal Primeur
Suitability to Liverpool: 6 (out of 10)
Likelihood of a move: 5 (out of 10)

The 21-year-old is confident on the ball and is a progressive player from the back, one capable of playing at right-back, and has shown a marked improvement in his defending.

An exciting ball-playing defender with plenty of upside, but at 5’10” he has proven vulnerable in the air.

My take get Timber.

Baada ya kumkosa Bellingham je hawa hapa wanatufa? This is Anfield.
1)Conor Gallagher
Conor Gallagher hasn’t played enough minutes at Chelsea this season, so this is his profile from his breakout loan at Crystal Palace.

He is a ball-carrier – though he could improve his protection of the ball – and an excellent disrupter of opposition attacks.

Gallagher can also contribute further forward, regularly receiving the ball in the box and creating a high number of shots.

His link-up play is poor, which would present a problem when breaking down low blocks.

But to add mobility, energy and intensity to the midfield, Gallagher is a perfect fit.

2) Mason Mount.
Mason Mount‘s numbers confirm what we’ve seen: he’s a dynamic, creative player, excellent at defending opposition attacks, as well as retaining and progressing the ball.

These numbers are from Mount’s time as a No. 10 rather than a No. 8, which skews the data slightly – we’ve seen him carry the ball much more frequently than his profile suggests – but he’s clearly a superb talent and a strong fit for Liverpool’s midfield box

3) Matheus Nunes
Wolves‘ Matheus Nunes has been used in multiple positions under multiple managers, so his data set for central midfield is smaller.

But it’s still clear why we’re keen: he’s an above-average ball-retainer and link player, with a Naby Keita-esque penchant for dribbling.

His relatively low defensive intensity means he’d need coaching in a more aggressive pressing style, though his defensive impact rating suggests he would adapt well.

Nunes’ attacking instincts may need to be curbed to play a more disciplined midfield role in Klopp’s system – though his rocket right boot is a bonus.

4)Moises Caicedo.
The majority of his minutes have come as a defensive midfielder, but this is a natural home for his gifts.

The Ecuadoran simply does not lose the ball, with an excellent ability to link play for good measure. He’s also a frequent and quality stopper of opposition moves.

His ability to replicate Fabinho‘s passing from deep needs to improve, although if he plays in his familiar double pivot role – possibly alongside an inverted Trent Alexander-Arnold – we know he can break lines of pressure and unleash his creative colleagues.

5)Alexis Mac Allister.
The second of Brighton‘s double sixes is an elite out-of-possession midfielder who also has fantastic ball retention from both passing and dribbling.

Add in his impressive attacking metrics from a defensive midfield position and the World Cup winner is the only option who might legitimately be a Bellingham upgrade, at least in the numbers.

Combined with the eye test, this makes Mac Allister’s appearance on Liverpool’s radar tremendously exciting.

6)Nicolo Barella
Nicolo Barella has pedigree with several years in the Champions League and a Scudetto from 2021.

Crucially, his ball retention and defensive impact are both above average, while his progressive passing rating is superb.

But there’s something underwhelming about the overall profile considering he’s a joy to watch and theoretically the most proven commodity on the list.

He should succeed at Liverpool, but Barella is probably a weapon in the arsenal rather than a silver bullet.

7) Ryan Gravenberch.
Former Ajax wonderkid Ryan Gravenberch has struggled to make an impact at Bayern Munich, opening the possibility of a move to Anfield.

With stats from his last season in the Eredivisie adjusted for Premier League standard, we can see that he is a frequent dribbler and link-up player, and his ball retention suggests he’s very good at both.

His defending metrics are only slightly above average, so an adjustment period would be required, while his receptions in the box suggest he’s yet another midfielder who likes to contribute to the attack.

Still a young player and potentially available for a bargain price, Gravenberch would be an excellent mid-term project to complement a more first-team-ready option.

My take, Klopp atue mazima kwa Barella na Gravenberch wa Bayern ... Squad player atue kwa Sander Bagger pale Blades.

Tuendelee na uchambuzi wa vijana wetu, si unajua nakapenda ka Gakpo🥰,natamani kujua background yake.
 
Read somewhere.

Klopp anataka kusajili beki wa kulia ili kumpeleka TAA kwenye MF full-time. Na usajili unahitajika Six new playere, ambapo 3 of them ni squad players and 3 are for back up. Here we Go

Kwa ufupi tupo pre-season naona tukienda kushinda mechi zote. Usiombe ukutane na timu iliyomaliza zake ligi kabla ya ligi kuisha.

YNWA.
