Tony Cascarino explains why it’s ‘exciting times’ for all connected with Liverpool

Tony Cascarino has explained it’s ‘exciting times’ for all connected with Liverpool as the beginning of the 2024/25 Premier League campaign edges closer.

Jurgen Klopp called it a day with the Reds  at the end of the season and was replaced by former Feyenoord boss Arne Slot in the Anfield hot seat.

The Dutchman has inherited a squad full of real talent but Cascarino admits he’s excited by the prospect of Anthony Gordon leaving Newcastle to join the Merseysiders this summer.

Fabrizio Romano has revealed that the Reds ‘really like’ the former Everton ace but are yet to find a breakthrough in negotiations with the side from the north east.

“I am not sure Salah will stay, but then that has been a story for the last two years,” said Cascarino on talkSPORT (via HITC).

“Diaz, I think, is terrific for Liverpool on the left, which he plays in Anthony Gordon’s position. You have got Jota who can play there. Liverpool have got luxury in the forward areas and especially the type of speedy wingers that run behind. 

“Unless they have had a big offer for Luis Diaz. If they had that offer and they go ‘we can try to get Gordon in as a replacement’, but yeah, exciting times, isn’t it?”

Mo Salah has already insisted that he’s remaining at the club beyond the summer while there have been some reports linking Luis Diaz with a move to Barcelona.

The Athletic’s James Pearce has revealed the Reds are not looking to sell the Colombian however, but there is clearly interest in signing Gordon who plays in the same position as our No.7.

It would ruffle a few feathers on the blue half of Merseyside if Gordon was to become the latest to cross Stanley Park, albeit indirectly, but he impressed for Newcastle on numerous occasions last term.

His pace and tenacity is something which could see him shine under Arne Slot – we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

EXCLUSIVE: Mother of UNC Commits Talks 'Dream Come True' Commitment

The North Carolina Tar Heels are getting some of the best recruits in the state of North Carolina, as they added Jayden and Zavion Griffin-Haynes. They are a pair of brothers who bring a lot to the table. They have many offers, but yet they decided to stay home and commit to the Tar Heels. This is something that their mother, Latara Griffin, feels is a dream come true. She detailed what Zavion and Jayden's commitment to the Tar Heels mean to her, as she spoke to North Carolina Tar Heels On SI. "Man, this is a dream come true. A lot of the offers that they have received, they share, but they have a lot of offers that are separate. I can tell you from January up until May, we have been everywhere. Every weekend, my phone is being called, everyone wants an interview, everybody wants to know where I want them to go, and as a Mom, the only thing I wanted was for my children to stay together," she said. "If that meant we were going to have to pack up and move, then we were going to pack up and move. I will say that when we did the OV, they rolled out the red carpet for us. They treated us so well. We probably visited UNC the most; we spent a lot of time at UNC, even when the coach was Mack Brown, we spent the most time up there. Then the coaching staff switched to Belichick." "When I first met Belichick, I told him relationships are big to me. I care about being able to lay my head down at night and not worry about where my children are or if they are taken care of. The fact that they love both of my children, not just one, they both got their own offers, and they committed separately," she said. It wasn't like Jayden was a walk-on or Zavion. Nothing like that. They made it known that they want these kids. They want them to stay home and play for them and be developed by them. They have been persistent in that, and the fact that I will be having two jerseys that rep Griffin-Haynes on the back, and that they will be developed by arguably the best coach that has ever coached, and I get to stay at home. So, it is a dream come true for me." Please make sure you follow us today on our Facebook page when you click right here!

Royals acquire outfield help in perplexing trade with Diamondbacks

Royals acquire outfield help in perplexing trade with Diamondbacks

The Kansas City Royals were hoping to bolster their outfield ahead of the July 31 trade deadline. They were able to do just that in a trade on Saturday. Steve Gilbert from MLB.com reported that the Royals have acquired outfielder Randal Grichuk from the Arizona Diamondbacks. Mark Feinsand from MLB.com reported that relief pitcher Andrew Hoffman will head to Arizona in exchange for Grichuk. The Royals desperately needed help in their outfield. Royals outfielders had been the worst in the majors, posting an atrocious .219/.273/.328 batting line with just 19 home runs entering Saturday's action. Although Grichuk is in the midst of a disappointing season himself, he is an immediate upgrade over whatever the Royals have sent into the outfield. Grichuk had posted a .243/.280/.462 batting line in 186 plate appearances entering Saturday, hitting seven homers and 15 doubles. In exchange, the Diamondbacks receive Hoffman, who FanGraphs ranked as the Royals' 22nd-best prospect entering the season. His upper-90s fastball and new kick change are both considered plus offerings, although his ability to command his arsenal is questionable at best. Hoffman's potential and flaws were evident this season. He made his major league debut for the Royals, allowing six runs, two earned, on seven hits and four walks over 4.2 innings, striking out five. However, Hoffman had dominated at Triple-A, posting a 3.60 ERA and a 1.125 WHiP over his 40 innings, striking out 55 batters with just 10 walks. He is another intriguing addition for a Diamondbacks team that has prioritized pitching in their two trades thus far. The same upside does not exist for the Royals. Kansas City had the same record as the Diamondbacks entering the second game of their doubleheader against the Guardians. Grichuk signed a one-year contract with $5 million guaranteed for 2025. There is a mutual option worth $5 million, with a $3 million buyout, for 2026. Theoretically, Grichuk could be part of the Royals' plans next season. However, mutual options are rarely picked up. As the Royals are currently under .500 and need to pass four teams in the standings to seize the final wild-card spot, adding a rental option does not make sense. It is possible that both sides can work out an arrangement for 2026, but unless that happens, the Royals' latest move is questionable at best.

Yankees manager provides major update on Aaron Judge's injury

New York Yankees star Aaron Judge missed Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies with an elbow injury, and the slugger is now headed to the injured list. The Yankees fell 9-4 to the Phillies on Saturday at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, N.Y., which marked their third consecutive loss. Judge played in Friday night's 12-5 loss to Philadelphia, but Aaron Boone announced before Saturday's game that Judge was dealing with an "elbow issue" and would sit out. Following his team's latest loss, Boone shared some new information about Judge's injury. Judge has been diagnosed with a flexor strain, but the Yankees believe he can return in less than two weeks. When Judge returns to the lineup, Boone said it will initially be as a designated hitter. Judge is having an outstanding season. He entered Saturday batting .342, which is the best mark in baseball. The reigning American League MVP has 37 home runs, 85 RBI and a 1.160 OPS. The Yankees are now six games behind the AL East-leading Toronto Blue Jays and fighting to remain atop the wild-card race. It goes without saying that they are hopeful Judge will be able to return as soon as possible.

Green Bay Packers 3rd Year Receiver Turning Heads At Training Camp

Green Bay Packers 3rd Year Receiver Turning Heads At Training Camp

The Green Bay Packers have one of the youngest rosters in the NFL. A big reason for this is their wide receiver room. For the past three seasons, they have relied on rookies and second-year players to carry the load on offense from a pass-catching perspective. However, that has led to some inconsistent play. Last year, drops were a huge issue, especially for former fifth-round pick Dontayvion Wicks. He was able to get open but would drop the ball in key moments. Wicks is determined to change the narrative and is already turning heads in training camp. Green Bay Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks Looking Good Wicks was the star of the 2-minute drill during Friday’s training camp practice. He found a hole in the zone and ran the post route. Quarterback Jordan Love saw him immediately and unloaded a long ball. The former Virginia receiver was all alone and caught a 49-yard touchdown pass to end the drill. This was one of the many great plays Wicks made throughout the practice. He was asked about the play after the practice. “I knew I had the post,” Wicks said. “I had a man on me. I released, ran full speed. I knew X was over the top. So I stemmed out a little bit and broke flat across. It was a runaway, and J-Love gave me the ball and I ran under it, and that was all from there.” This is great news for the Green Bay Packers. Drops can often be attributed to a lack of confidence. They can snowball. Once a player drops one pass, it can snowball into more drops. The same can be said about catches. Once a player gets confidence, it can be hard to stop. If Dontayvion Wicks has gotten his confidence, the league should watch out. No Problems Getting Open Wicks had no problems getting open last year. According to ESPN Analytics, he was open on 84% of his routes, thanks to a quick burst off the snap and his ability to find gaps in the zone. However, getting open doesn’t matter if a player can’t bring in the ball. The Green Bay Packers hope this is the start of a new player in 2025. Matthew Golden has also looked good in training camp, and Jayden Reed has vowed to drop fewer passes as well in 2025. If that trio can haul in passes, this offense could be one of the best in the league. Final Thoughts We always have to be cautious about training camp news. It can sometimes point to what will happen in the season, but not always. However, this seems like a step in the right direction for the Green Bay Packers. If Wicks gains confidence now, that should carry over into the season.
