Favourite LFC Signings And Worst LFC Departures: Good Buys And Goodbyes: Part 2

So myself and Trev were having a chat because neither of us could think of what to write this week. We'd both had ideas but none of them seemed to be worth pursuing at this moment in time. It's the transfer window, people want transfer related content and being the kind, considerate lads that...

Khephren Thuram Can Be Klopp’s Next Transformational Star

Alexis Mac Allister, The Perfect 10

Liverpool have completed the signing of Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton for an undisclosed fee believed to be in the region of £35 million.
