The summer transfer window is yet to open, however transfer hysteria has already swept in. Liverpool fans have barely had time to rejoice in the fact that Liverpool FC will very likely be in the Champions League group stages next season, as seemingly that was not enough to satiate fans in the short-term, as now apparently is […]
Two seasons on from Steven Gerrard’s last competitive game for Liverpool, and the iconic number 8 shirt remains unoccupied.
