All we can do is get our latest updates on what’s going on behind the scenes, hoping the player realises he can’t leave our club, because he loves it as much as we do…

Liverpool Transfers: It's Not About The Money, Money, Money
Mohammed Salah, Alexis Sanchez, Willian, Clint Dempsey, Diego Costa, Memphis Depay, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Alex Teixeira, Ousmane Dembele. Different nationalities, positions on the field, huge talent / big names, and plenty of contrasts to one another. But among all these names, there is one common denominator. Liverpool’s failed transfers.
Salah, Diego Costa, and Willian eventually went to Chelsea, Sanchez chose Arsenal, Depay went to Manchester United, Mkhitaryan and Dembele to Borussia Dortmund, Alex Teixeira to China for the peking duck, and …
Liverpool Supporters: Pessimistically Optimistic
Liverpool Football Club is a massive club, to say the least. The supporters are those who know it better than anyone. After all, we’re the ones who have witnessed the highs and lows over decades and decades. Players, managers, and staff come and go. But it’s us fans, who are the constant in the equation.
A little over seven months ago, Jurgen Klopp has replaced Brendan Rodgers, who was in the drivers seat for three and a half seasons, and …
Should Benteke be baffled by Klopp's treatment?
It seems frustration has got the better of Liverpool striker Christian Benteke after he spoke out about his lack of playing time under Jurgen Klopp. Speaking to Belgian publication Sport/Voetbalmagazine the Liverpool no.9 said -
'When your coach says he wanted to take you to Dortmund and a little later you sit at the same club and he ignores you it is hard to understand.'Should the Belgian be confused with regards to his current situation? Stating that …
Evolve. Adapt. Attack. Liverpool in 2015/2016
The three words in the title aren't ones you'd associate with Liverpool after the disappointing 2014/2015 season, but if Liverpool, and more importantly Brendan Rodgers, learns from the mistakes then last season could help build next season into something special.
No I'm not crazy.
I think Rodgers may have a way around his no defensive midfielder policy. I never thought I'd say those words.
The 13 game unbeaten streak that was sandwiched between an embarrassing and a reality check showed …
Midfielder Week Special: Javier Mascherano - The Mad Dog
There's a great saying that sums up Javier Mascherano: "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog that counts". This sentence really sums the Argentine warrior up because at 5ft and 8.5 inches tall, he isn't your archetypal defensive midfield powerhouse a la Chelsea star Nemanja Matic. Mascherano is a fantastic footballer but most of his power comes from his heart and sheer desire to win. He will not …
Oh Captain, My Captain: Should Gerrard Stay or Should He Go?
It’s always been a personal belief of mine that no player is bigger than Liverpool Football Club. This motto has served me well when I thought I’d have died of a broken heart when players have exited the club, but Liverpool Football Club and I have always bounced back and gone from strength to strength. Then came the rumours that Steven Gerrard might leave his beloved Liverpool if he wasn’t offered a contract extension that met his demands.
Unthinkable right? The …
Victor Valdes: The view from Barca - Q & A with Rafael Hernandez
When Simon Mignolet joined the Reds last summer hopes were high for the young Belgian keeper who had impressed during his time at Sunderland. Though eyebrows were raised at how abruptly Reina was sent out on loan to Napoli, many reassured themselves that given such a decision Liverpool's management must've been happy with the replacement they'd brought in.
However, despite an overall impressive debut season, where the keeper's impressive shot stopping abilities saved the Reds crucial points in pivotal moments …
Liverpool's Owners Hold All The Cards Over Suarez
And so it happened. Sanchez said no.
As ever in transfer windows, it’s not over until Sky Sources tell you. But it’s gone. As hard a pill as that is to swallow, Liverpool do seemed to have moved on.
So what now? Where do Liverpool turn next? Well, maybe that’s the wrong question.
At this moment, as of 6pm on Tuesday the 8th of July to be precise, Suarez still plays for Liverpool. Do I expect him to be around at …
Suarez Bites But Can Liverpool Fight? Legal Analysis of LFC’s Options
Introduction
Let’s make one thing clear - I am not defending Luis Suarez. He inexplicably decided to sink his teeth into an opponent for the third time and deserves to be banned. However, we must ask ourselves is the severity of the ban warranted and why is it that Liverpool Football Club is the party that suffers the most? In this article I will analyse the Disciplinary Committee’s decision and explore possible remedies available to Liverpool.
What is his punishment?
