Welcome to your latest podcast on the Blood Red channel. But if you were one of the first people to sign up for the Blood Red Club, then you may well have heard this. But if you haven’t signed up, this is the kind of content that you are missing out on. So what is the Blood Red Club? Well, it’s a way of giving something back to our loyal listeners and viewers. Every week we send out an exclusive podcast to Blood Red Club members, for no cost whatsoever.

But just to give a little taste of what you can expect - and given we should see him for the first time at Anfield this time next week - we’re now publishing our first Blood Red Club exclusive podcast, which was all about Liverpool new boy Ibrahima Konate. Guido Schäfer is a former team-mate of Jurgen Klopp at FSV Mainz 05 but is now a journalist for the Leipziger Volks-Zei-Tung newspaper in Germany. And he was the person who broke the story back in May that Konate was to become the Reds’ first signing of the summer. And in this podcast, he gives Matt Addison an unrivalled insight into the deal that has brought the France Under-21 international to Merseyside, and what the centre-back is like as a person and as a player. There’s also details of conversations Klopp had with Red Bull supremo Ralf Rangnick over Konate and Dayot Upamecano, and conversations Klopp had with Schäfer over Naby Keita, who made the move from Leipzig to Liverpool three years ago, and who has looked impressive in pre-season this summer.

The sun is out, Virgil van Dijk is back, Ibrahima Konate looks like he’s going to settle in just fine... and within the next month we are going to see fans back at Anfield. Little wonder, then, the latest Poetry in Motion podcast, hosted as ever by Neil Fitzmaurice, and featuring Paul Gorst and debutant Mark Wakefield, is brimming with optimism ahead of the new season. But while the Reds look stronger than ever at the back after the return of Van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip, plus the signing of Konate, are they in danger of repeating last season’s transfer mistake - but in a different area of the pitch? Fitzy and the panel discuss whether Liverpool need to strengthen their midfield, examining reported interest in Florian Neuhaus and Houssem Aouar, and also ask whether another forward is needed, too. But whatever the Reds' squad looks like come the opening day at Norwich City, they will go into the new campaign knowing they will have their 12th man back.
