The Gutter descends into the depths of tabloid transfer tittle-tattle and website waffle. It can be murky down here, but we look to give you our assessment of what might be the flaming torch of truth in the darkness – and what could just be flaming nonsense.
Gareth Roberts is joined by John Milburn, Ste Evans, Adam Smith and Craig Hannan for a chat about the latest players to be linked to and from The Reds including the latest on the deals for Georgino Wijnaldum and Ragnar Klavan and brief poke at speculation are former Cardiff misfit Gary Medel as well as some chat about the potential exits of Lucas and Joe Allen.
In a free clip from the show the lads have a chat about the possibility of Lucas and Markovic leaving for pastures new.
Lazar Markovic is an incredibly talented player whose footballing brain is an order of magnitude superior to Ibe’s (for example); the fact that people do not appreciate him says more about them than it does about him.
Lucas Leiva: do people actually *watch* the pre-season friendlies?
I hope Markovic is kept for the year to see what Klopp can do with him but my problem with Markovic is that he seems very timid.
Perhaps that’s a confidence issue.
