Lewis Steele says that the Reds are still in talks with PSG for Barcola, while they’re considering a third bid for Brighton’s Minteh. In a report for the Daily Mail, Steele said: “Liverpool remain hopeful of signing Paris Saint-Germain’s Bradley Barcola this week and are weighing up whether to make a third bid for Brighton’s Yankuba Minteh.

That said, Andoni Iraola has made it clear that he doesn’t envision a No.6 as part of his plan for Liverpool. “I think it’s just not personnel,” he told reporters at St James’ Park.

“I also don’t want to take this from his game, but we have to adapt as a team to these situations and we have to know that these situations can happen. “Situations [are] just not because one person is playing there, [it] is something that we have to correct between a lot of players.” Michael first started supporting Liverpool after Istanbul in 2006.
