According to reports, former Liverpool defender and Bayer Leverkusen boss Sami Hyypia is in talks to become the manager of Brighton and Hove Albion. Here are a few pros and cons, followed by my verdict.
Liverpool struggled with their defence last season and it ultimately cost them the Premier League title. Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge and Raheem Sterling kept their end of the bargain, but the backline fell flat on a large number of occasions. The left-back was a particular problem for Brendan Rodgers, but reports say that the Reds are on the brink of securing a deal for Sevilla’s Alberto Moreno.
Liverpool were so close to winning their first Premier League trophy last season but their leaky defence ultimately let them down. Despite scoring an incredible amount of goals, their defence was continually opened up and it led to them falling short in the late stages. This man could help plug the gaps, though, should Brendan Rodgers look to sign him.
Rickie Lambert’s career is one of fairytales. The Liverpool-born striker once worked in a beetroot factory before earning his break in football, and after working his way up through the lower leagues he is now an established Premier League goal scorer and is an England international. He is also said to be on the brink of a move to boyhood club Liverpool, something which supporters of other clubs find slightly amusing.
As the Luis Suarez saga continues to drag on , it left me thinking whether this was the right move for Arsenal or not. Suarez is going to cost Arsenal at least £40 million pounds but there is no doubt in my mind that he is worth it. His displays last season were sensational and even attracted the attention of Real Madrid.
In the recent weeks much has been seen and wrote about Mr. Suarez’s future and today has been no different, with the gossip columns stating it could be City, Madrid and even Napoli reportedly readying bids for the controversial striker.
