Virgil van Dijk is Worth £70m to Liverpool
Nonsense governs the football transfer market. Trying to find sense in the machinations of hyper rich football clubs and the pursuit of their transfer targets is puerile. There is no universal rule that applies to all clubs when it comes to valuing players; rather it is subjective and depends on the context of the club willing to spend money on a said player.
This bring us to Virgil van Dijk and his proposed and so far turbulent transfer to Liverpool. …
Steven Caulker, Liverpool Legend
On a recent episode of the In Focus podcast on Anfield Index, host Jon Buscall and guest Harinder Singh discussed and debated the concept of a Liverpool legend: what it took to be a legend, which players deserve the honour, and why some fell just short. It was difficult not to listen and be persuaded by the rational and systematic way that both Singh and Buscall approached the question.
Now for something completely different. At present, for fans of Liverpool …
Liverpool FC: Eyes On The Prize?
Even though Liverpool might not be able to attract star names in the ilk of Götze, Mkhitaryan and more, Liverpool should be aiming for nothing less than top prize this season.
Leicester’s success last season might well have been a flash in the pan, however, the success of the likes of Spurs, Southampton and West Ham should draw attention to how the league has become competitive overall. With this competitiveness, there has been weakening of the stronghold of the usual …
Mixing It Up - Klopp's coaching and Liverpool's Cash
The fume has always been a constant feature of LFC’s transfer window in the Twitter era. Failing to land a target and LFC targeting underwhelming players always set LFC’s” twittersphere” ablaze for days. Also a constant feature is the penchant of journalists and agents to link every man who calls football his profession to a transfer to Liverpool. One change in this summer’s transfer window is the concept of “a perfect Klopp” player. Being linked with an underwhelming name, for …
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 …
Great Expectations Whilst Undermining Klopp's Character
If you’re a Liverpool fan and unfamiliar with Jürgen Klopp and you took the twitter narratives as gospel, then it’s fair to suggest you are under the false illusion that Klopp will win us the league and by the end of the season we’ll be playing in Dortmund yellow circa 2010 because we’re definitely signing the likes of Reus, Hummels, Gündogan and Lewandowski in January. The fume has evolved into delusion.
After the announcement of Jurgen Klopp as manager of Liverpool …
The Power of Youth: Klopp's Transfer Magic
With a clamour and a beaming grin, most Liverpool supporters now have a horizon to look to. Where the dark shroud engulfed the fields of Anfield Road, a descent into limbo embodied by a broken regime, the inverse has now created a sense of real optimism about Liverpool Football Club, for what seems like the first time in a long time.
In reality, it was a mere two years ago that a revolution was seemingly tearing through Anfield; its leader …
