Why Liverpool’s buy-to-sell model needs looking at

Liverpool are, rightly, lauded for their transfer business. They’ve been near faultless with their incomings since Jurgen Klopp’s arrival in 2015. The Reds have mastered the whole finding undervalued assets and turning them into stars thing.  On the few occasions they’ve gone big on a player, the recruitment team have got it spot on with...

Saúl Ñíguez – The Lowdown

When Liverpool ‘allowed’ Georginio Wijnaldum to wind down his Liverpool contract, it was a strange situation. All Liverpool fans wish him well, but it hasn’t quite sunk in that he’s no longer a red. As a nearly always available midfielder, he was certainly taken for granted, though definitely not under appreciated. With this Gini-sized...

Why Saul makes more sense than Tielemans

Liverpool have been linked with a lot of midfielders this summer. There’s a new name every week and then, after a while, you see the same ones reappearing on the list. Youri Tielemans was once again back on the agenda this weekend after reports emerged claiming he’s top of the club’s summer shortlist.  According to...

Why Andy Robertson is Undroppable

When Andy Robertson was signed from newly relegated Hull City, there was a collective air of uncertainty. The left back spot had become (like so many other positions when Klopp arrived) a problem one. With Albert Moreno being swapped in and out with James Milner prior to Robbo’s signing, it was certainly an area...

Why Liverpool might want John McGinn

For a team reportedly not in the market for a midfielder, Liverpool seem to be getting linked with midfield reinforcements on a daily basis.  Last week, it was Florian Neuhaus. Then it was Christoph Baumgartner. Now it is John McGinn. According to The Athletic, the Villa No7 has impressed Jurgen Klopp and the Reds do...

Why do Liverpool want Florian Neuhaus?

Liverpool might’ve found the man to fill the void left by Gini Wijnaldum’s departure.  According to reports in Germany, Jurgen Klopp wants Gladbach midfielder Florian Neuhaus and the club have already held talks with his representatives. Florian Plettenberg of Sport1 expects things to heat up once Germany’s time at the Euros is up.  As revealed by...

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 --...

Divock Origi: One of the most curious LFC careers

Most Liverpool careers are easy to define. Some are legendary figures who reach world-class levels for the Reds, some are great servants who rarely let the team down and others are disaster areas, to name just a few examples. It is often simple to fit an individual into a certain category, using their back catalogue of...

Gini Wijnaldum’s legacy at Liverpool

Gini Wijnaldum and Sadio Mane kickstarted the Jurgen Klopp era at Liverpool. They were the two big signings during the German’s first summer at Anfield.  Both played a significant part in getting the club into the top four during the 2016/17 campaign. The pair had a key role in the Reds reaching the 2017/18 Champions...

Liverpool must sign a Gini Wijnaldum replacement

So here we are, in a post-Gini Wijnaldum Liverpool world. The Dutchman was a wonderful servant for the Reds during five hugely successful seasons and will forever go down as a modern-day legend at Anfield. Much like Ronnie Whelan in the 1980s, he rarely made the headlines - both had a penchant for scoring big goals,...
