Scouting Report: Orkun Kokcu
Another sunny day, another midfielder linked with a transfer to Liverpool and a lot of fans liking the sound of it. Groundhog Day was based on the Christmas period, but this is a gift that a fair few Reds will be hoping comes our way. A player whose now vocalised a desire (as respectfully as possible) to move on and develop, a career best season and after Mason Mount developments this could be the perfect equation. This scouting report focuses …
What Is the True Value of Each Liverpool Player…
With the frenzy and excitement of the summer transfer window just about upon us fans want their respective clubs to start splashing their millions. Certain journalists and social media personalities are buzzing around Twitter with exclusives and reports that should all be taken with a pinch of salt. I myself only take pure and absolute confirmations as truth (sounds like a Michael Owen quote), whereby only investing my hope into the stories I like, whilst ignoring those I do not.

Scouting Report: Benjamin Pavard
There will be a fair few of a certain type through the window. You can’t call them clickbait more the realisation that silly season is upon us and with Liverpool’s needs clear for all, they’ll be a prime target. The Reds should always be interested when top players are on the market, but all the variables have to be right. In this case, there are some that work, but when it’s stacked up against all the other considerations then it …
Liverpool should target this Leeds United wonderkid in the summer
With Roberto Firmino recently departing the club and with Fabio Carvalho linked with a move away from Anfield too, Liverpool could do with signing a future prospect to bolster their forward line in the summer.
The Reds are still left with a solid choice of forwards with Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez but with Europa League football on the horizon, I can't help but feel Klopp would like to be able to rotate heavily.

Naby Keita and Liverpool: A Tale of Unfulfilled Promise
Naby Keita and the Ghost of Missed Opportunities
The winding road of a football career is often marked with chances taken and lost. As fans, the pain of these missed opportunities is most acute when reflecting on the past, especially in the case of Liverpool's dynamic midfielder, Naby Keita. James Pearce of The Athletic, in his recent article, perfectly captures this profound regret that emanates from such lost opportunities.
Echoes of the 2020-21 Season
"The biggest frustration lies with …
Scouting Report: Micky Van De Ven
Sometimes in football when it comes to transfers, things can seem a bit too simple or easy to link as it were. Clickbait by definition to some people. However, there can be a possibility a link simply can’t be dismissed. In this scenario, when you take a Dutch player at a German club being potentially hunted by a potential short-term German sporting director in a position we need (the player that is) then it’s possible. In this scouting report we …
Why Manuel Ugarte should be at the top of Liverpool's wishlist
Reports in recent days have suggested that Liverpool are set to pull out of the race for Sporting midfielder, Manuel Ugarte.
Despite the 22-year-old having a release clause of just £50million, the Reds are reportedly looking to spend their time and money elsewhere in the market.
This article will look at why Liverpool should be pushing to sign the Uruguay international, with the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United heavily linked with the youngster.
Fitting the system:
In terms of …
Scouting Report: Marc Guehi
On the day when Paul Joyce says that Liverpool are looking at ‘defensive reinforcements’ (emphasis on the plural), it’s shouldn’t be too much of a shock to see one pop-up. However, whether you believe it to be pure ‘clickbait’ or not it seems pretty definitive that Jurgen Klopp and the rest of the transfer committee will be seeking to strengthen this area in the summer window. This one has seem to have come from nowhere which means that it’s not …
How LFC Could Best Spend £250m…
With our world-famous club now off the market (apparently), it seems that John Henry and his FSG group are keen to realign the structure within Liverpool FC. With finance likely coming their way, it does appear that a soft release of the club is still afoot, one which will allow the sale process to be undertaken in a professional and elongated manner. My take on the sale, is that any new investor willing to take a £1bn stake in this …
James Ward-Prowse isn't the Answer to Liverpool's Midfield Problems
Sky Sports' pundit Micah Richards has publicly encouraged Liverpool to look into signing Southampton captain James Ward-Prowse following the Saints' relegation from the Premier League.
However, I strongly believe that the 28-year-old is NOT the answer to Liverpool's current midfield issues and the club should look elsewhere for reinforcements.
It's not just the eye test that makes me think this, I've also crunched the numbers behind the Saints midfielder compared to other Liverpool transfer targets for the upcoming transfer window.
