There has always been the resounding criticism towards the business of football that footballers are out tune with reality with fancy sports cars, ballooned wages and the vast array of public affection (and hatred) clouding players’ minds. What is often seen with this privilege that footballers enjoy is, exaggerated egos, societal attitudes that places themselves […]
We all knew when Klopp arrived at Liverpool Football Club, we had unanimous agreement that a massive clearout of players was in order. There was the likes of Jose Enrique and Martin Skrtel that needed to be moved on from the club. Today, even without any European competition this season, the manager has found his […]
The Transfer Window has been officially open for nearly a month now and Liverpool’s two biggest signings have been players from within the Premier League. Both Sadio Mane and Gini Wijnaldum arrived at Anfield for a combined £55 Million. Most Reds fans must have a strong feeling of deja-vu about such deals. Since Fenway Sports […]
With a move for Sadio Mane all but confirmed, I put my Director of Football hat on to consider what next for Liverpool in the summer transfer window. Loris Karius, Marko Grujic and Joel Matip already confirmed to join Liverpool ahead of the new season; Sadio Mane represents a change in direction. The aforementioned three […]
Liverpool’s ridiculously named “transfer committee” has been a hot topic in recent years. Some think they epitomise everything that’s wrong with the club’s transfer strategy, but maybe their detractors are yet to realise that the spine of Klopp’s new-look side is made up of “committee” signings. Emre Can, Roberto Firmino, Divock Origi, and Mamadou Sakho […]
“Write an article about who you would sign if you had £100 million to spend at Liverpool.” AnfieldIndex overlord Gags and editor of the site Dan Rhodes tempted me with this topic. I’ve not replaced Jurgen Klopp as Reds boss, this isn’t Football Manager, Instead I’ve decided to head up the much fabled transfer committee; […]
For as long as I can remember Liverpool have been wasteful in the transfer market. We’re the type of club who are more than happy to pay over the odds for an average, solid squad player but drag our feet when it comes to pay the big money for a game changer. Nothing in football […]
It’s bewildering to me but there are some fans who are dissatisfied with how Jurgen Klopp’s first season as Reds boss panned out. A run to the Europa League final littered with memorable moments and a League Cup final wasn’t enough to appease an impatient, Premier League deprived bunch of fans. Those who seem offended […]
Twice a year, football clubs from all over Europe get the chance to go shopping for players. And for fans it’s one of the most exciting moments of the season, because it could either make or break their season. You go into a store looking for a watch, because the one you have is either […]
When Liverpool announced the signing of Roberto Firmino it was met with faux excitement. Many got caught up in the hysteria surrounding the deal and got a little carried away with themselves despite never seeing him play 90 minutes. It was a whirlwind 48 hours from when the news broke that Liverpool were keen on […]
