Napoli midfielder Piotr Zielinski was given an opportunity to get a taste of what might have been and what yet could still be at Liverpool
www.liverpoolecho.co.uk
So the echo for some bizarre reason put up an article about Zielinski and how he was close to signing us and i found this part interesting
"Zielinski could have easily found himself linking up with Klopp three years ago. The midfielder wanted to join the Reds and was even pictured in a Liverpool shirt only for Udinese to refuse to sell to the Merseysiders.
Instead Klopp turned to Gini Wijnaldum with the Dutchman going on to reward him with some of the most memorable moments of the German’s Liverpool career.
And come the final whistle against Napoli, he witnessed nothing from Zielinski to have any regrets at missing out on his former target.
He was anonymous.
In contrast, the man signed instead of him impressed after emerging from the substitute's bench midway through the first half, Wijnaldum coming on to replace the injured Fabinho.
Lining up in an unfamiliar left-midfield role, the Italians’ game-plan in truth hardly gave him the chance to impress."
While i do appreciate the clubs transfer policies and what not, i need to emphasis , the last two times we challenged for the title we did not decide to bolster the squad in January, this has lead to us being only the team that lead at christmas to have not won the league.... let that sink in. I feel the Echo putting up articles like this is trying to temper our expectations in the window and trying to sell us some bs where other clubs for better or worse will be investing into their squads and getting more talent in.
If the club is trying to hint that Zielinski is that January transfer that will happen.... well we will have to see, but judging at how we have operated, i don't see us spending in January which i think will be a huge missed oppurtunity.
