da imperador bet： Whilst it may seem obvious now for the Anfield faithful looking back on their 2014/15 season, it has to be said that Brendan Rodgers’ determined Liverpool side simply carry nowhere near the same level of threat without a certain Luis Suarez on board.
da esport bet： The Reds’ loss truly became Barcelona’s gain last summer, and as the ever formidable La Liga giants took to their domestic and European tasks almost with maximum ease last term, Liverpool certainly looked a great deal weaker in the goal-scoring department, and subsequently throughout the rest of the team.
What’s in the past firmly remains behind the plucky Merseysiders going into the 2015/16 campaign, however. Although the likes of Mario Balotelli and Rickie Lambert completely failed to emulate the Suarez affect at Anfield last season, the Liverpool transfer committee have seemingly tried to address such concerns across the summer transfer window.
Highly-rated Brazilian front-man Roberto Firmino has already made the switch to the Premier League club in recent weeks, yet it seems Brendan Rodgers’ Bundesliga targets simply don’t end there with Germany and Borussia Dortmund star, Marco Reus, also being looked at by the Reds this summer for a hefty fee of around £46m.
So then, do Liverpool actually have what it takes to land the skilful 26-year-old after last season’s debacles, or is a player of Reus’ overall talents simply a pipedream for Rodgers ahead of the 2015/16 campaign?
Well, from the outset such an ambitious move in the annual summer transfer window does seem a tad unrealistic in the cold light of day for a number of significant reasons. It ultimately remains quite hard to picture Reus turning out in a Liverpool shirt next season – regardless of how much Brendan Rodgers and the Anfield faithful seem to admire his ability.
It certainly comes as no surprise that Liverpool have registered an initial interest in the player himself, though. The spindly German front-man definitely has to go down as a top class forward in the modern era, as well as someone who would easily walk into most of the starting XI’s the Premier League has to offer.
With his keen eye for goal in and around the box and dangerous turn of pace and quick-feet in the final third, not to mention a formidably strong prowess in the long-shot department, Reus seemingly has a bit of everything within his overall make-up.
Yes, he’s not the strongest striker the Bundesliga has ever produced, and obviously his rather lengthy injury record would likely raise a degree of concern among the Anfield ranks should Liverpool’s interest really be genuine this summer, but ultimately Reus in a player few top class teams would turn down given the chance next season.
As the German international has recently signed a new deal with Borussia Dortmund despite Jurgen Klopp’s departure, perhaps it’s fair to say that this particular transfer rumour is one that will never truly see the light of day – especially as Liverpool can’t offer the 26-year-old the chance to play Champions League football next season
In light of Raheem Sterling’s imminent £49 million switch to Manchester City this summer, though, just maybe Brendan Rodgers now has enough incentive – and more importantly enough cash – to actually go out and definitively source a player of Reus’ quality with confidence this summer.
Liverpool can simply throw money at the BVB man if they really want to in the run up to the 2015/16 season. Reus will also be aware of the tempting void that needs filling after Sterling finally departs Anfield for the Etihad this window, and alongside the likes of Philippe Coutinho and the newly acquired Roberto Firmino next term, Liverpool could actually find themselves heading in the right direction after all.
Such an ambitious move will invariably take a great deal of negotiating and persistence on Liverpool’s part, for Marco Reus is a player many top European clubs would like to get their hands on this summer. Rodgers simply has a massive task on his plate in convincing the German to move away from Borussia Dortmund, and getting him to tie his colours to the Anfield mast in 2015/16.
With Sterling arguably acting as the major catalyst within all of this, however, perhaps Liverpool fans will start to see the ball rolling sooner rather than later in regards to their club’s interest in the Reus. For now we’ll just have to watch this space it seems…
