for those who've been staying awake at night wondering how Charlie Adam is doing .... https://offsiderulepodcast.com/2021/05/29/whatever-happened-to-charlie-adam/ [every time I think of Adam I think of Craig Bellamy's book where he talks about Adam arriving for his first-ever LFC training session - he was badly hungover. Bellamy called Adam a very naughty name]
Former Liverpool stars Mamadou Sakho, Andy Carroll and Nathaniel Clyne were among the players released by Premier League clubs. The trio were included on the released lists of Crystal Palace and Newcastle as the current 20 Premier League clubs confirmed who would be retained for the season ahead.
After more than year out of the professional game, Daniel Sturridge has been offered a trial with La Liga newcomers Real Mallorca.
https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/57851365 Former Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina appears on Masked Singer as giant penguin We often wonder what footballers like to do in their free time. Some like to play video games, some prefer to engage in academic pursuits. Others just like to unwind with family and friends. Former Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina, however, can add now performing as a giant penguin on television to his list of pastimes. Allow us to explain... Reina appeared on Spain's version of The Masked Singer reality singing contest on Wednesday night, serenading a panel of celebrity guests with his rendition of Hola, Mi Amor, a traditional Spanish tune.
a rare "where are they now?" two-fer .... Former Liverpool defender Jon Flanagan has a new club and has linked up with one of his former team-mates. Flanagan came through the youth ranks at Anfield, progressing to the first-team before he eventually made 51 appearances for the club. Having had spells at Bolton Wanderers, Rangers and Burnley on the c.v, Flanagan most recently was with Belgian club RSC Charleroi. Now, though, Flanagan has joined Danish club HB Koge who are managed by former Liverpool centre-back Daniel Agger.
He didn't go well in Belgium https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport...news/jon-flanagan-suffers-life-after-23329649
I see young Bobby Duncan has come back to earth. He's now at Derby County as part of its U23 and academy squad. I feel for the lad; it was his agent, the archetypal sneaky loud-mouth who led him astray. Now he has to pick up the pieces of career again and will hopefully have learned from this humbling lesson.
Crystal Palace are in talks with Schalke over a fee for Ozan Kabak but face competition from several other clubs to sign the Turkey defender, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Liverpool.
Would be a good move for him. Palace need players, they've got something like 12 contracted for next year.
The former Atlético Madrid striker Fernando Torres has been appointed as the club’s youth-team coach. Torres worked in the Atlético academy set-up last season as an assistant, and will make the step up to head coach for the 2021-22 campaign.
learned a lesson? nope .... he seems to be pissing his career away. 4 clubs in 4 years. https://www.thisisanfield.com/2021/...-in-4-years-with-club-furious-at-his-conduct/ Two years after leaving Liverpool under a cloud of controversy, Bobby Duncan is set to move on again with Derby said to be “furious” with his conduct this summer. Duncan joined the Reds in 2018 in strange circumstances as he effectively sacrificed a year of his young career while on the books with Man City to force his exit. The striker, a relation of Steven Gerrard’s, spent only a year with Liverpool in which he scored 30 goals and assisted another 16 in 43 games for the academy, before pushing for his exit. His efforts to move on from his boyhood side drew anger from both within the club and among supporters, with his agent at the time employing desperate tactics to force the Reds’ hand. Though he split from Saif Rubie after his switch to Fiorentina, Duncan’s trajectory has been similarly rocky since, with a move to Derby in September of last year set to be followed by another this summer. According to The Athletic‘s Simon Hughes, though talks have broken down with Danish club Vejle Boldklub, the Rams are “willing to let him leave for free.” This is partly due to Derby’s precarious financial position, but Duncan’s conduct has not aided his situation as he is yet to return to Pride Park following his failed negotiations with Vejle Boldklub and the club are “furious.” Hughes adds that soon after Wayne Rooney’s appointment as Rams manager, Duncan approached him for talks as “he considered himself ready to push on from the under-23s,” but unfortunately “Rooney thought otherwise.” The same happened at both Liverpool and Fiorentina, with the player and his representatives seeming to lack the patience required in a young player. Elsewhere, Hughes has explained that the 20-year-old “didn’t cover himself in glory” while on tour with the Reds’ first team in America in 2019, and “Klopp took note.” He wrote: “It was never really said or written at the time but there is another side to his story at Liverpool which suggests he realised deep down on the tour how far away he was from the first team and decided to go elsewhere.”
In 10 years or so, he'll be the subject of a "what might have been " documentary if he doesn't stfu, put his head down, and bust his ass to try to fulfill his potential. Maybe Derby should contact Stevie at Rangers to set him straight.
