Former Liverpool goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar has suggested the Reds should appoint one-time Chelsea boss Graham Potter as successor to Jurgen Klopp in the summer.

The man who made more than 600 appearances for the Reds was known for his eccentricity on the pitch and he went in a different direction than pointing at Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso or Brighton manager Roberto de Zerbi.

“For me, I’d say Graham Potter. What he did at Brighton, he had to mould young players, get them into the first team, manage that type of environment.

“He’d be very fitting to come to Liverpool because we’ve got some great youngsters and he could use them and carry on the legacy that Klopp has left.”

Potter had a torrid time when he went to Chelsea from Brighton, ending up with the sack last April, but Grobbelaar said Anfield would be a more comfortable environment for the 48-year-old:

“Chelsea is another entity, it’s a different dynamic. We [Liverpool] are a family side, we value everybody in Liverpool Football Club – when you’re brought in you are part of the family. It’s very different at other clubs.

“If he comes in to work with these kids I think he’d be welcomed royally.”

‘Brucie G’ did not discount former Reds midfielder Alonso, who has his side atop the Bundesliga, saying: “Xabi Alonso has done a marvellous job there in Germany. I know that he’s going to be inundated with telephone calls asking him if he is the next one.”

However, he did rule out one man who has won Champions Leagues with Real Madrid: “You look at all the managers around, people are throwing names into the hat, like Zinedine Zidane. Zidane managed a team that was always there, he never developed any players.”

One of the young players who has caught the eye for Liverpool is Northern Ireland international Conor Bradley, named ‘man of the match’ in Sunday’s 5-2 FA Cup win over Norwich City.

Grobbelaar is confident that the Aghyaran lad can play in the same team as established right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, with the latter going into midfield – as evidenced against the Canaries:

“We showcased it – Trent came into midfield and we left Conor Bradley on the right. Actually they inter-changed quite quickly in roles – Trent would fill in on the right side and Conor would go up in the right wing-back position.

“I don’t think there’s a problem with young Bradley, I think he’s a fantastic young player. He hasn’t done anything wrong; the only blemish he had was in the Fulham [League Cup semi-final] game when they boy went round him for their goal. He’s done very, very well.”

Jurgen Klopp expects same attitude from Liverpool players after shock exit news

Grobbelaar is not concerned that Klopp’s announcement of his departure at the end of this season will have an adverse effect on the Liverpool players, regarding managerial chance as part of football:

“Bob Paisley signed me – and then he left. Our next manager was Joe Fagan, then he left because of what happened in Heysel.

“King Kenny [Dalglish] took over and when he told us it was going, it was a blow. Ronnie Moran took over for two games and then Graeme Souness came in.

“It hurts when you’re a player when it happens, but you have to go out on the pitch and do your very best for them.”

Indeed the 66-year-old argued that the timing of Klopp’s statement allows the players to respond in a positive manner:

“He’s told us in the middle of the season that he’s going at the end of the season so let’s go out and show what character they’ve got as players. If they are going to be staying it’ll be because they’re part of Liverpool Football Club.

“Managers come and go, players come and go, but the club will always be there. Nobody is bigger than the club.

“I think it will motivate them tremendously well for the rest of the season… We’ve got half a season and we’re still in all the cups so we’ve got a lot to play for.

“Let’s go out with a big bang, make sure that this season we play every single game. We’ve done it before [in 2021-22] but we missed out on two trophies. We can do it and pick up two more trophies than we did before.”

* Grobbelaar was speaking in association with Carlsberg 0.0 ahead of this week’s meeting of Liverpool and Chelsea, the fixture that has produced the most 0-0 draws in Premier League history.

Tottenham plotting late move for 82-cap Int’l, £40-60m offer would get deal done
By Saikat – 3 hours ago
Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the German international midfielder Joshua Kimmich.

Bayern Munich are prepared to let the 28-year-old leave this month for a fee of around £40-60 million and Tottenham are plotting a late move for him if they fail to sign Conor Gallagher from Chelsea.

A report from Football Insider claims that Tottenham have been in talks with Chelsea regarding a move for Gallagher, but the Blues are holding out for a fee of around £80 million.

Spurs are unlikely to pay that kind of money for the English midfielder and therefore they could look at alternatives.

Kimmich has been a reliable performer over the years and he has established himself as a key player for club and country. There is no doubt that he has the quality to succeed in the Premier League and he could prove to be a useful acquisition for Tottenham.

The 28-year-old is versatile enough to operate as a defensive midfielder as well as a full back. He could prove to be the ideal replacement for Eric Dier who left the club earlier this month.

Ange Postecoglou needs to add more quality and depth to his side and Kimmich could be the perfect utility man.

The 82-cap German international could be tempted to showcase his qualities in the Premier League and the opportunity to join Tottenham will be an exciting one for him. It remains to be seen whether the clubs can secure an agreement over the fee now.

Ex-coach on why Liverpool still need Mamadou Sakho, reveals player’s ‘outstanding’ attitude
April 10, 2017
Jack Lusby
Former Liverpool U23s manager Michael Beale believes the Reds would be in a much better position if Mamadou Sakho was still in favour.

Sakho joined Crystal Palace at the end of the January transfer window, with the Frenchman’s arrival coinciding with a sharp upturn in fortunes at Selhurst Park.

The Eagles sealed four consecutive wins following Sakho’s debut, keeping three clean sheets, with Wednesday’s 3-1 loss away to Southampton their first defeat with the centre-back in their ranks.

Meanwhile, Liverpool have registered just one clean sheet in the Premier League since the turn of the year, with the likes of Joel Matip, Dejan Lovren and Ragnar Klavan all struggling.

And Beale, who had Sakho in his U23s squad before joining Brazilian side Sao Paulo as assistant manager in January, believes the Reds would be better off with the former PSG captain.

“It is a shame what happened at Liverpool. Both parties have lost,” Beale told Sky Sports.

“Sakho is playing for a club that I think he is too good to play for.

“Everyone is looking for a left-footed centre-half. If it is to be that he leaves Liverpool, he won’t be short of offers. He will likely move on.

“It will be sad if there cannot be some form of reconciliation, because I think Liverpool still need him. Jurgen felt he could go with other players.

“If Sakho was able to play against Sevilla in the Europa League final, Liverpool would have won. I am sure of that.

“That would have changed the whole course of things at Liverpool; they would have been in the Champions League, extra revenue, attract better players.

“Maybe Klopp cannot forget that. I don’t know the ins and outs.”

Sakho was initially frozen out after a suspension for a suspected drug offence, though this was eventually overturned during pre-season.

But Klopp moved to send Sakho home from the club’s tour of the United States, citing a series of transgressions, but Beale insisted the centre-back’s attitude was “outstanding” with the U23s.

“When he first came to us at the U23s, I didn’t really know what happened with the manager,” he added.

“I didn’t want to know, and I said to him that as long as he respected me and the U23 players and staff then we wouldn’t have a problem. He went well beyond that.

“From that day onwards he was getting changed in a Portakabin. He was never, ever late, and he worked his socks off.

“He could not have been a better professional. You are seeing the results of that work now at Palace.

“Although we had some good players in that group—Ben Woodburn and Trent Alexander-Arnold—he was playing in front of 1,000 people, and was the target for everyone, being so famous.

“His attitude was outstanding. I have never seen anything like it.”

Sakho has revealed he would be open to rejoining Klopp’s squad next season, but this seems highly unlikely, with Southampton and Napoli both interested.

Alasdair Gold now shares why Antonio Nusa chose a move to Brentford over Tottenham

Journalist Alasdair Gold has now shared why Antonio Nusa has chosen a move to Brentford over Tottenham Hotspur in the coming days.

Spurs were thought to be in the driving seat to sign Nusa after diligently chasing his signature in the last week or so.

Ange Postecoglou was thought to be the perfect manager to unlock the winger’s rich potential, and a loan-back deal which saw Nusa arrive permanently in the summer looked ideal for all parties.

However, it’s now been reported that Brentford have stolen the march on Tottenham, and Nusa will be signing for the West London club instead.

That might surprise a few given how much pull Postecoglou’s project has, and how interested the club seemed to be.

But Tottenham journalist Alasdair Gold has now been sharing why Nusa made his choice.

Gold took to X just now to explain that Brentford could simply offer Nusa more guaranteed game time in the future.

The journalist also explained the feelings of Nusa’s personal camp, who also preferred a move to Brentford.

Alasdair Gold explains why Antonio Nusa chose Brentford over Tottenham
Sharing his update on X, Gold said: “Understand Antonio Nusa chose Brentford because he was guaranteed regular starts there.

“Spurs held talks but for a raw but talented teenager not starting regularly for Club Brugge yet, they couldn’t offer such guarantees for next season with their current squad.

“The player and his camp also felt that moving to one of the bigger clubs was too big a step in his development at this point. Very talented youngster though and should reach that level.”

Of course, this will be considered a blow for Tottenham who looked to be in the driving seat to sign one of Europe’s next big talents.

Tottenham could potentially look to sign Nusa from Brentford in the future once he’s made progress, but that would obviously be at a much higher price.
