Olimpija forward Andraz Sporar hoping to turn out for Liverpool in the future
By Jure Bohoric. Last Updated: January 16, 2013 3:35pm
Olimpija forward Andraz Sporar has revealed that it is his ambition to earn a move to Liverpool at some stage in his career.
The 18-year-old is currently working on building a reputation and developing his game.
He would appear to be on the right path, with seven goals in 20 games this season seeing him to the top of the Slovenian scoring charts.
Sporar is hoping his efforts will be rewarded with a switch to Anfield in the future, with English eyes having drifted in his direction once before.
He underwent a trial at Tottenham some years back and is determined to earn himself a shot at the Premier League.
"I'm quite ambitious and my goals are high," the talented teenager told Sportske Novosti.
"I will only be happy when I wear the Liverpool
shirt. That is the club I support."

Bored of the rings: Blackpool no longer taking Liverpool's calls about Tom Ince

Kop boss Rodgers thought youngster's Anfield return was in the bag but Seasiders are 'doing an Adam' PLUS Lazio defender eyes Kop move
Holding them up:

Tom Ince has seen his dream return to Liverpool put on hold - because Blackpool are refusing to take Brendan Rodgers' calls.
Rodgers went into the window believing Ince's move back to Anfield was a "done deal", but the Championship club's chairman, Karl Oyston, is playing hardball over the 20-year-old.
It has reached a point that Blackpool will simply not pick up the phone when Liverpool call - a similar tactic to those Oyston used to stop Charlie Adam leaving the club two years ago, forcing the Scot to stay for another six months.
Liverpool were hoping to tie up a £7million deal for Ince - son of their former midfielder Paul - who started his career at Anfield before leaving for Blackpool two years ago.
Swansea have also shown an interest in Ince, and that could drive a bidding war - which would be favourable for Blackpool as Liverpool have a sell-on clause from the original deal that would reduce the money they pay to buy him back.
Meanwhile, Lazio defender Modibo Diakite has turned down a final offer of a new contract - in the hope Liverpool will come in for him.
Ready to Rome: Defender Diakite is on his way out of Lazio

The 25-year-old is a free agent at the end of the season, and his Rome club want to cash in now rather than lose him for nothing come the summer.
Aston Villa are also watching developments, and it is believed Rodgers has sounded out Diakite's agents.

Exactly. It's not like he's THAT good.
Bahaha, the only ones crying to the press are Karl Oyston and Michael Appleton, repeatedly inviting higher bids from us since December. If we wouldn't take him for 6 million a month ago, why would we go for 7 now? I wouldn't be surprised if Ince's head has already been turned and Blackpool are desperately trying to flog him but no one is biting at the price they want, so the Swansea bid has been "leaked" to draw a reaction from us.

I still can't work out why either us or Ince really want to make this move .Surely he must realise he'll be on the bench alot and is he ever going to be good enough to reach the levels we should be aiming for .
In saying that , if Rodgers was ringing me all the time i probably wouldn't answer either . Imagine the shite he talks on the phone, "ok i'll hang up , wait no you hang up "

It sounds like Fulham is letting Risse go, might not be a bad idea to pick him up as cover as long as his wages aren't ridiculous.
Fuck that.
I hope we walk away from the Ince deal.
I was going to agree, but then I thought It would be a better option than having to put Johnson on the left and using fucking Wisdom as cover.
If true, we'll feel the same way about him as we feel about Felliani ... Should Coulda Woulda
Possibly a replacement for Feliani
Not anymore.
We should defo be looking at M'Vila. It's not like spending 20M on Downing - if it doesn't work out we'll get most of that money back.
Sneijder was brilliant at Real Madrid. I've seen very little of him at Inter but I recall hearing he's always had a bit of an attitude on him and at that age and on those wages, I reckon it's a risk we probably can't afford to take.

He'd probably get the phrase 'going forward' into the conversation and I'd suddenly be standing there with the remains of the phone smashed in my hand like Bluto on the stairs with the guitar in Animal House.
Are you sure you think so?
I think what I seen from Riise the last few years have been so unencouraging and poor that I think Wisdom is better solutions. And also players need to be tested on PL level to take the level. I think Wisdom have a good chance on taking a few steps forward and being good enough for PL (something I dont think Riise is these days). If he never gets games he will not make that progress. A little bit like Coates.
This.
At which point do we accept that repeating the same mistakes will not result in different outcomes.
Save the cash - and the wages and use it to sign an Erikson or someone about to burst in the the scene at the end of the season.
Something doesn't feel right about this deal.
Vlad - something feels wrong about this - why are none if the big teams going near him.
Fair enough - if the transfer fee is reasonable and his wages are reasonable - and he's got the desire, then it could be great.
Something, just doesn't seem right - be it injury, attitude, desire or financials.
It almost has a whiff of the Acquilani's about it.
I might just be being overly cautious.

No it would not.
Anyone know anything about Lazar Markovic? Apparently he's at Melwood ahead of a proposed move - Well according to Tomkins on twitter anyway.
Lazor the Lazer you say?? Ooooh
