In today’s Football Daily: Goodbye Hendo, hello Endo; and remembering Michael Parkinson’s love for the game
Liverpool have been conspicuously struggling to fill the big gap in their squad left by the summer departures of Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, James Milner, Naby Keïta and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Given not a single one of those players achieved anything positive last season – with the exception of some impressive bleep-test results in Milner’s case – you’d think this wouldn’t be too onerous a task. Anyone under 36 with two still-functioning legs and a work permit would be an instant upgrade.
One deal Liverpool’s chief negotiator Jörg Schmadtke does appear to have struck from the comfort of his Ibiza villa is. Nice one! Sorted! At 30 years old, and with nobody relentlessly banging on about him in the papers for the last few months, the prospect of the Japan captain arriving at Anfield was initially met with a lukewarm response on various Social Media Disgraces.
“I believe competitiveness is important. That’s why I’m joining this league” – Neymar opens with a gag in his first sit-down interview as an Al-Hilal player. “Saudi Arabia? I’ve got enough money in my life” – on the other hand, Juventus keeper Wojciech Szczesny is happy to stay put in Serie A.
