Brendan Rodgers and The Transfer Committee: The Criteria
The dust has yet to settle on the wild and wondrous campaign of 2013/14, yet the transfer rumour mill is in full swing; with Liverpool its traditional epicentre. However, among the traditional nonsensical reports of Ricardo Quaresma finally sealing his move to Liverpool and Simao finally receiving the call from Senor Rafa to board that plane, Kopites have taken to social media sites, forums and pubs to discuss just who is needed at Anfield next season; coupled with those to …
Liverpool FC in August 2014 | What changes could Liverpool make?
Thanks to Brendan Rodgers and his team's work so far this season I am going to suggest that we have already done enough to secure a top 4 spot this season.
We have 10 games left to try and finish as high as we possibly can in the Barclays Premier League.
The Champions League is where this club belongs and with it comes the prestige and the extra funding the club requires to maintain our aim of eventually winning our …
Central Midfield Recommendations for Liverpool FC
The talking point of the season so far, perhaps bar the sparkling performances of our striking duo, is Liverpool FC's midfield. Many fans have pointed towards our lack of creativity and control in midfield as the key weakness to our top four aspirations, with Lucas' lacking positional discipline (being dribbled past 1.6 times per game this season and committing a whopping 2.3 fouls per game) and the ageing captain not being able to keep at a top level performance for …
Liverpool's January Window Links
Although the transfer window has been shut for nearly two months, it’s slowly beginning to rise and before you know it players will be wearing a new kit and possibly a new number. Liverpool should look to be active and not only continue to add depth to the squad but also add some players of a certain quality.
Liverpool supporters are well aware how awful the Redmen’s first window under manager Brendan Rodgers went and I think Rodgers hasn’t forgotten …
Liverpool Summer Transfer Round-Up & Evaluation
After missing the Champions League the last three seasons, Liverpool are hoping to boost their team with all the new signings they have made this summer. Liverpool have had a tough time finishing sixth, seventh, eighth, and seventh in the last four years and it has gotten tougher for them to attract the big player without Champions League football and have been wasteful with their money in recent years.
In Brendan Rodgers' first season, he tried to change the way …
What can Shakhtar man Mkhitaryan bring to Liverpool?
For his country, he’s their standout player while at club level, in a side packed with talent from Ukraine and South America, he’s shone when he’s needed to. It’s fair to say that Henrikh Mkhitaryan is a star for both Armenia and Shakhtar Donetsk. Primarily an attacking midfielder, he can also play as a second striker, and his record with the reigning Ukrainian champions is impressive.
Since starting for Mircea Lucescu’s side back in 2010 following a £5m move from …
Do Liverpool need to buy anyone this January?
As we approach the January transfer window Liverpool will be looking to bring in a few new faces to the club and whether those players are stars or up and comers we will find out. As you look at the team closely you are able to find those areas in which we are in need and I will be going through that specifically.
To start with we look at our goalkeeper big Pepe,the 3 time golden glove winner, has started …
Transfer Window Review (Part I) | Defenders
It doesn't seem so long ago, that I was writing the "What our team needs" series. That was back in April, and I identified 4 key areas that we needed to add some quality to the side. Those were Left Back , Centre Back, a Centre Midfielder, and a Winger. It may take some reading to look at them all, but if you haven't already, then it maybe a worth giving them a quick scan. In summary, I assessed the squad …
Player Profile: Stewart Downing
On Friday 15th of July 2011 it was announced that Stewart Downing had completed his long awaited move to Liverpool Football Club. It has to be said that this signing has been somewhat underwhelming for most Liverpool fans, especially with the suggested price tag of £20 million. Although Stewart Downing may not be player that will set the world alight, he still has a lot to offer Liverpool. Also being a left-footed wide player he is something Liverpool have been missing for a long, long time …
Expectations: Transfers and Next Season
Twitter can only get you so far when trying to explain your thoughts on a lot of things, limited to 140 characters, it's difficult, especially when I see so many people being very optimistic and so many "ITK"'s contradicting each other with whatever rumours there may be. So I thought I'd look at what we can expect and what I think we should expect to see from now until May of next year.
Since purchasing the club, John Henry has …
