It's a special Blood Red podcast this week with our full-time Liverpool reporter - both home and away - James Pearce joining us from the Reds' training camp in the Bavarian Alps.

With Jurgen Klopp putting his squad through their paces, James joins LFC editor Andy Kelly and ECHO writers Ian Doyle and Kristian Walsh to discuss a week full of speculation and intrigue for the Reds.

There's a full discussion on the Philippe Coutinho situation with suggestions of a second Barcelona bid being imminent.

James talks about the latest from a Liverpool perspective and why he'd "be amazed" if the Brazilian left Anfield this summer.

There's a look forward to the next few days in Germany as opportunity knocks for new signing Andy Robertson, with James Milner missing the upcoming games with a thigh problem.

James met with Robertson for a chat today and was impressed with what he heard.

Elsewhere there's of course talk of the latest on the two names who have rather dominated the summer - Naby Keita and Virgil van Dijk.

Will Ralf Rangnick's rather unfortunate musings on Guinea villages prove beneficial for Liverpool? Either way Kristian thinks it's not what we want to be hearing from the Leipzig sporting director.

And has anyone at Liverpool thought of throwing Mamadou Sakho into the Van Dijk pot? We think they probably have.

Kristian updates us all about where the Reds are most likely to be playing their Champions League play-off and Andy gets so confused he forgets that they're actually guaranteed to be in the draw itself!

It's a full hour of dedicated Reds chat and it's well worth popping the headphones in for a listen.

Enjoy!
