Sell Nunez, buy Alvarez
As the transfer window is now open again until 1 September, we asked for you to tell us one player you want to bring to Liverpool and one player you want the club to are some of your comments:Billy: I think we should sell Darwin and break the bank again for a world class striker like Julian Sell Robertson. Sadly he is no longer the best fit for our ambitious plans. I would buy Alexander Isak - he is a classic number The obvious player to sell is Nunez because he has been an expensive flop and instead of searching through all the overpriced foreign strikers why don't Liverpool snap up Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa, he would be a perfect Sell Alisson. Mamardashvili is good enough for a team that won't often require a last line of defence. Cash in now, get the Saudi money. Buy Branthwaite. Liverpool's central defenders are always on the edge of injuries that rule them out. This is where the Saudi money gets reinvested in a top player to feature for the next five Sorry Darwin, you haven't evolved into the player we all hoped you would. Nunez out, Julian Alvarez in!Huw: Sell Jota - not scoring enough and is missing easy chances too often. Buy Jorrel Hato. Great talent who has a good future. Would love to see him play for us.

Michail Antonio plays first match just six months after near-death Ferrari crash that ‘completely shattered' his leg
MICHAIL ANTONIO made an emotional return to football just six months after a horror Ferrari crash that nearly killed him. The West Ham striker, 35, came off the bench for Jamaica in the 85th minute for the side's 1-0 Gold Cup loss to Guatemala in California. 9 It was his first appearance since breaking his leg after smashing his £260,000 Ferrari into a tree last December. The veteran forward had been out of action since the December wreck, which left him with a serious lower leg fracture and lucky to be alive. He was airlifted to hospital and rushed into surgery and spent the rest of the season fighting to get back on his feet. Released from hospital before the New Year, Antonio threw himself into rehab, including a warm-weather training stint in Dubai in February. West Ham insiders later revealed he had been 'kicking balls again' with the squad by season's end. Two weeks ago he released an inspiring video on social media charting his battle from hardly being able to walk to getting back into full training. The video started with footage of the wreckage with a voice asking, 'How the f**k did you get out of that' before showing clips of him going through pain in the gym as he rebuilt strength in his lower limb to running and eventually kicking balls. He made an for West Ham's 1-0 defeat to Newcastle in March. Although he didn't feature again for the Hammers before the campaign closed, Jamaica boss Steve McLaren still named him in the Gold Cup squad. While Antonio couldn't prevent a group-stage defeat, his late cameo marked a major milestone in a recovery many thought might never happen. His return has now become the feel-good story of the tournament. Antonio, who missed recent World Cup qualifiers, will be eyeing more minutes in group matches against Guadeloupe and Panama. But it's not just pride on the line, his future is up in the air. West Ham star Michail Antonio shares footage of himself learning to walk again after escaping death in horror crash The club's all-time top Premier League goalscorer is out of contract at the end of June and recently turned down a short-term extension on lower wages. He's said to be earning around £90,000 a week but is now weighing up his next move. A Hammers insider told SunSport: 'Michail has been working hard on his recovery and to have returned to action for his country in six months is almost miraculous. 'That shows the sort of person he is. He has given the club great service and we'll of course review with him his situation when he returns back home. It's an ongoing process.' West Ham confirmed earlier this month that Antonio will be listed as a free transfer but stressed they remain fully behind him during his comeback. 9 9 9 9 9 The statement read: 'Given Michail Antonio's unique situation following his serious road traffic accident. "There will be no formal decision on his future until such time that it is considered right and appropriate. 'As a long-serving, highly-respected player and a much-loved member of the West Ham family. "The club's absolute priority is to support Michail personally in his journey to resume playing at the highest level.' Antonio joined the Hammers in 2015 in a £7million move from Nottingham Forest. He has scored 68 goals in 250 games for the club. Michail Antonio's incredible rise By Jon Boon The outpouring of love from the football community for Michael Antonio has been massive, with the striker recognised as a big character in the game. The Wandsworth-born forward started from humble beginnings - playing for non-league Tooting & Mitcham United. After impressing in 2008, he was offered a trial at Reading - some five divisions up - and Alan Pardew duly snapped him up. However, he later revealed he got kicked out by Tooting, after he refused to sign a contract. Antonio said: "They kicked me out because I refused to sign a contract. 'I was like: 'If someone comes in for me I don't want to be tied down. I want to be able to go and not you out price me'." Following spells at Sheffield Wednesday and Nottingham Forest, in 2015 he was plucked from the Championship in a £7million deal by West Ham. He's been there ever since, winning a player of the year award, twice being named Premier League player of the month and lifting a European trophy. Away from football, Antonio has bravely opened up about his mental health struggles in recent times. The Jamaica international was recently asked by Gary Lineker on the Rest is Football podcast what he would like to do when he retires from the game. He revealed: "I want to go into entertainment. "So more on the basis of A League of Their Own, Play to the Whistle…" 9

Salernitana-Samp playoff decider moved back after food poisoning
ROME, June 17 (Reuters) - The Italian Serie B relegation decider has been postponed to Sunday after many Salernitana players suffered food poisoning on the way home from the first leg against Sampdoria. The Serie B league said it had accepted a request from Salernitana to delay the return game which had been scheduled to take place on Friday. The decision was made after considering medical documents produced by the club, as well a criminal complaint Salernitana filed with prosecutors, the league said in a statement. Around 20 players and staff fell ill on the plane taking Salernitana home to Salerno after Sunday's 2-0 loss to Sampdoria in Genoa in the playoff first leg. Salernitana face the prospect of a second consecutive relegation if they cannot overturn their deficit. Former Serie A champions Sampdoria are fighting to avoid a humiliating fall into Serie C for the first time in their 79-year history. The Genoa club were going down at the end of the regular season in May, but were given a lifeline when Brescia were relegated in their place due to financial irregularities.
