Piotr Zielinski - Udinese (On loan at Empoli)

Empoli's President Fabrizio Corsi:
"Jürgen Klopp has been talking to Piotr Zielinski since January. Liverpool moved forward, including in the head of the lad, who now has it in his mind to be in the Premier League.”

".. including in the head of the lad.." 

underwhelming signing to be honest.


lots of better alternatives out there. If we only end up with Zielinski as our midfielder then I'm not sure what to expect anymore

That's the spirit, condemn him before he's even kicked a ball!

Did he condemn him? Looked to me like he merely said he was underwhelmed, think those two stances are miles apart eh?

I know him from the Seria A, so I know what I'm talking about.

Mixed reviews, not even Empoli's standout player, he is another hard worker but lacks a lot.

Decent/good player who is as good as Henderson, Allen & Lucas. Unless we get Dahoud then Zielinski signing could make sense as a squad player, but if he will be a starter then don't expect much.

good thing his ceiling is years away and not whatever he did at Empoli aged 20-22. he wont be the only midfield addition anyway, i'm sure of it.

I this guy is Allens replacement, not because Joe is a bad player and IMO I would keep Joe a get rid of Henderson, it's because Joe wants a gaurenteed start every week and I don't think Jürgen will give him that.

Amen to that.

Come on West Ham put in a cheeky bid of £20m for Henderson. Please. We will sell him to you for £25m.

If we lose Allen & Henderson and replace them with Zielinski and Grujic our mid-field is going to look like a tomato that just got run over by 10 ton truck.

Wait...don't you trust Klopp? He obviously rates both of these players.

I trust that he won't sell Henderson FL...You done with your bullshit or would you like to continue Mr. Spade?

But wait...you  trust him to buy the  right players, and now you are saying that if he plays two of the players that he has obviously earmarked for midfield that we'll get run over. So which is it? Either you trust Jürgen on players or you  don't. You can't have  it both ways.

I do not think either player was purchased for the short term to be honest; like the man said it is going to take time and he is not going to work miracles overnight.

Allen is obviously not earmarked as a starter, Henderson may be but there's been no indication that he's penciled it as a starter with no challengers. I think you are making some serious assumptions here. One way or the other we appear to need new faces in midfield, so if it isn't Zielinski or Grulic then who?

Just my opinion FL I am entitled to it no matter how serious my assumption are right?

Can, Hendo, Miller, with Grujic, Zielinski, Stewart coming off the bench.

Shall we call him Polnaldo?

Stewart should be playing in Championship not Liverpool...

No doubt but a cup match here and there is probably in the cards....we shall see.

I meant we keep Allen and get rid of Henderson. I know this will not happen as Klopp likes Henderson but he frustrates me so much. I hate watching live matches because of him.

With Poland out of the Euros we should find out quickly if we are serious about getting Piotr.

Dirty bas**rds.

Anyway I'd be slow to sign any player from Italy after the last few disasters.

So... as of now, is he Jürgen's primary or second choice central midfield target; what do we reckon? 

[Primary when it's "on" - second choice when it's "off"?  ]
