January and Liverpool’s short-term needs will consume most Reds for the next few months, before a return post World Cup. Nothing will be completely solved in one transfer window, but the summer may also bring certain challenges that many hadn’t expected. For all the midfield talk that dominates articles, pods and all other fan...
Mason Mount travels to Qatar this week for the forthcoming World Cup. His call up was never in doubt, and only an untimely injury would have scuppered his place in Gareth Southgate’s England squad. This spell away from Chelsea could be the relief he needs right now, with the West London club currently in...
Famous sayings can be true but also work against each other. Everybody loves a bargain, but at the same time, you do get what you pay for. Liverpool’s midfield needs are great and many hands make light work. The January window is notorious for the challenges that it brings, which means Julian Ward and...
As the dust begins to settle on the first act of the season, the drama that is the January transfer window now comes into focus. Liverpool’s need couldn’t be more obvious than in the centre of the park, where a mix of injuries and fading legs means reinforcements are a necessity. With many of...
The Liverpool FC buyout saga has rumbled on, and much of the fanbase will be quietly (or not so quietly) compiling their own dream teams for the new ownership to go and buy. There are of course my own wants and desires, and I would love the Reds to be as competitive as possible,...

The first phase of this enthralling Premier League season is now in the dust, and ridiculously, the World Cup in Qatar begins this coming Sunday. This whole international competition is a complete farce, from the moment the destination was announced, until the moment it ends. It’ll bring controversy, injuries, upset and fatigue. Yet the...
In the lead up to any Premier League game, the managers of the two teams are required to attend a pre-game press conference. With Southampton primed to head to Anfield this past Saturday, the Liverpool manager seemed to take the opportunity to share some thoughts on the Reds' transfer strategy. Whereas we were all...
One of the pioneers of radio and radar Robert Watson-Watt (a genius played by Eddie Izzard in the film Castles in the Sky) talked about a cult of the imperfect. He said “give them the third best to go on with; the second best comes too late, the best never comes.” For some reason...
It was so close: had Nat Phillips been sold on a permanent transfer for a fee of around £10m, and Liverpool secured the signature of Fabio Carvalho from Fuham then FSG, Julian Ward and the departing Micheal Edwards would have achieved a 'perfect' transfer window according to Dave Hendrick on AI Scouted.
