Time for Liverpool to dispose of the deadwood
Silly season is officially underway.
The Euros and Copa America are done, the beginning of the new Premier League season is still a month or so away, so it's time to obsess over transfers.
As per usual, Liverpool have been linked with a host of players, whether it be Florian Neuhaus, Saul Goodman - I mean Niguez, I've been seeing too many Breaking Bad GIFs! - Federico Chiesa or Kylian Mbappe.
The Reds certainly need additions in the summer transfer …
Marko Grujic's Likely Departure Shows Transfer Policy Bearing Fruit
After five years of nominally being a Liverpool player, it appears as if Marko Grujic will permanently leave the club this summer.
Despite being Jurgen Klopp's first signing with the Reds, the Serbian has only made eight appearances for the club and has been on loan on five separate occasions, with Red Star Belgrade -- his first club -- Cardiff City, Hertha Berlin (twice), and FC Porto.
And now, according to reports in Portugal, the 25-year-old appears set to end …
Who is Fabio Vieira and why might Liverpool be interested?
Liverpool seem to be linked with players plying their trade in Portugal every summer. Most of the time, though, there’s a feeling that agents are using the club’s name to ramp up interest.
Anderson Talisca was one who was reportedly on the club’s radar for quite some time. Rafa Soares was another player mentioned in 2017 along with Ruben Neves before his move to Wolves. Then there was Diogo Leite, a Porto youngster back in 2018. Gelson Martins was named …
Limp Liverpool Crash Out Of League Cup After Shootout Agony
Liverpool exited the League Cup at the fifth round stage after a 5-4 penalty shootout defeat to Arsenal at Anfield.
A drab and forgetful 90 minutes ended scoreless and the Gunners -- through Joe Willock -- won the shootout after Divock Origi and Harry Wilson missed their spot-kicks.
Jurgen Klopp elected to make a raft of changes from the Reds' Premier League victory over the same opponents on Monday night, but Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk -- surprisingly -- …
The Curious Case of Marko Grujic - What Could He Add To The First Team?
Marko Grujic's time at Liverpool may be about to come to an end. AC Milan look poised to bid for the midfielder, and it is likely that the Reds will accept. However, the latest reports indicate that Grujic may have the opportunity to prove himself, should these moves not materialise.
The factors that dictate whether he is able to contribute are his performances during his loan spells at Hertha Berlin, his appearances for Liverpool and what he can provide that …
Why another loan makes sense for Marko Grujic
When you’re in the 22-24-year age bracket as a footballer, you come to a crossroads. No longer a youth player able to bide your time and develop at a steady pace, there’s a growing awareness that the clock is ticking - you either cut it or you don’t.
Where consecutive loan spells would usually spell trouble for such players - see Ryan Kent and Harry Wilson, both of whom face uncertain futures at Anfield with a reduced hope of ultimately …
Has Klopp built a stronger back-up squad to the XI he inherited?
This summer's been a bit of a whirlwind, hasn't it? We've had the highs and lows of England's World Cup campaign, with ironic jeers of 'it's coming home' appearing more and more realistic as the Three Lions reached the semi-final. The dramatic use of VAR to keep pulses racing as modern technology enlarges its grip on football. The widespread appreciation of Jordan Henderson and his importance to the national side in Russia.
I could go on.
As far as the …
Liverpool's Old Guard Barely Hanging On
For Liverpool supporters, transfers can never come fast enough. We always want to push that revolving door a little faster until we find a combination of players that starts filling up the trophy cabinet again.
However, glance at the squad from 2013/14 season, just four years ago and you’ll notice that only a few faces remain.
The crocked club captain; Jordan Henderson.
The want-away striker; Daniel Sturridge.
The freshly sentenced right back; Jon Flanagan.
And the benched ‘keeper; Simon Mignolet.

Liverpool have had a bit of a stop-start month this December. Impressive wins at home to Spartak and away to Bournemouth have been overshadowed by two poor home draws against West Brom and Everton. Although, it has to be said that luck just was not on their side in those games. The …
Liverpool 3-0 Maribor - Player Ratings from Liverpool's defeat of Maribor
Liverpool produced a carbon copy of the weekend performance against Huddersfield, to put themselves in control of Group E in the UEFA Champions League. After an insipid first-half display, goals from Mo Salah, Emre Can and Daniel Sturridge gave the Reds a 3-0 win over a plucky Maribor in the rather quiet confines of Anfield.
The win means that Liverpool can book a place in the Round of 16, with a win against Sevilla on Matchday 5 in Spain.
Here's …
