Blood Red: The Liverpool FC Podcast

What players at the World Cup would you like to see Liverpool sign in the summer transfer window?
That was the question taken on by Paul Gorst and Kristian Walsh in a Blood Red podcast special.
With the transfer silly season well and truly underway in the summer window, we allowed ourselves to indulge in a bit of fantasy football of our own as we picked out five names each of players who have caught the eye in Russia.
We debate and discuss the names and their suitability for Jurgen Klopp's Reds, and also look ahead toward pre-season training, which begins on Monday.
There's passionate cases made for Diego Godin, Dries Mertens and Julian Brandt, and Paul and Kristian agree that Mexico's Hirving Lozano would be an ideal fit for the Reds.
It's transfer tennis - and it's a must-listen.

The days of waiting to pick up a copy of the ECHO to find out the latest Liverpool transfer news have long gone.
The internet changed that and, for our latest Anfield+ podcast, hosted by Paul Wheelock and featuring Joe Rimmer, Sean Bradbury and ECHO old boy Greg O’Keeffe, we lift the curtain to reveal how we cover the Reds in the social media age.
Particular emphasis is placed on transfers and why the Nabil Fekir saga encapsulated the ‘head-spinning’ nature of the modern-day deal.
Joe, Sean and Greg also offer an insight into what it is like being a reporter on transfer deadline day and why the arrival of Andy Carroll at Anfield moments before the 2011 January window shut was a precursor for things to come.
That leads Joe, Sean and Greg into examining how social media has changed the relationship and dynamic between the ECHO and supporters – and the clubs we cover, too.
It’s a fascinating listen. Enjoy. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

The World Cup might be in full swing but movement has started within the corridors of Melwood. Host Kristian Walsh is joined by James Pearce and Paul Gorst as they focus on the potential incomings and outgoings of Liverpool's forward line, with the futures of Danny Ings and Divock Origi up in the air.

World Cup talk dominates the latest episode of the brilliant Allez Les Rouges podcast.
Host Peter Hooton and regulars Kieth Culvin and John Nicolson discuss the Liverpool players currently representing their countries in Russia including Dejan Lovren, Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah.
The lads hope Salah will be rested for the final group game – and debate the lengths leaders and figures will go to use sport for political gain after Chechnya leader Ramzan Kadyrov made a beeline for the Reds hero at Egypt’s questionable choice of training base.

That leads on to a fascinating and lengthy discussion about Liverpool supporters’ relationship with the national team.
VAR, Emre Can, Jon Flanagan and Nail Fekir all get a mention before the focus turns to the Reds’ search for a goalkeeper – with a new target, who is in World Cup action, thrown into the mix.
