Odsonne Edouard: Liverpool's Potential Back Up Forward
Liverpool's front three, Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane, are world renowned for their quality and on field compatibility.
Behind them in the Reds' pecking order are Xherdan Shaqiri and Divock Origi, both of whom played their roles -- with the Belgian especially prominent in the march to Madrid -- in the club's sixth European Cup triumph last June.
However, due to injury and inconsistency of performance when selected, neither Shaqiri nor Origi have truly grasped their chances and …
Liverpool should return to sign La Liga starlet
In football, rejection often closes that particular chapter. Clubs won't continue to their pursuit if a player has made it clear they aren't keen on the move. Sometimes it's to do with pride. Other times it's because the world of football moves fast and teams can't wait around on the off chance a mind is changed. Liverpool, however, are one of the few teams who seem to leave the door slightly ajar if a move doesn't materialise first-time around.
Countless …
Do Liverpool Know How to be Frontrunners?
If you could have one movie character share Michael Edwards’ air-conditioning and have a chat across his desk, who would it be?
I’ll pause for a moment while you ponder the possibilities.
The right answer is, Ben Affleck. No, not Batman. Edwards doesn’t need to be roughed up just yet. Maybe A.J. from Armageddon could have a heart to heart with our sporting director and let him know just how important it is for us that he makes a signing, …
Is Liverpool's Laptop Legend Budget Bound?
Imagine if you will, Michael Edwards, still clearing the cobwebs from the meanest of post-parade hangovers, popping open his laptop, seeing endless messages from supporters complaining about Liverpool’s lack of signings and specifically the need for a reserve left-back.
Edwards swings open his office door, sloshing a bit of coffee on the floor in the process as he slurs in an uncharacteristically gravelly voice, “who’s the best left-back we can get?”
“Junior Firpo, sir,” a fresh-faced scout replies, leaning out …
How Should Liverpool's Transfer Window Play Out?
Who else remembers when Liverpool were European champions just three weeks ago, and everything seemed good in the world?
Then the transfer window came along - a period of any year that is fast becoming unbearable, having seemed far more enjoyable in the past.
When it comes to the Reds' upcoming business, it is no surprise to see opinion split on the matter.
On one side, you have those who see this as one of the most important summers in …
Liverpool will not sell Divock Origi this summer regardless of how contract negotiations play out
Liverpool are reportedly set to hold on to Divock Origi next season even if a new contract extension cannot be agreed with the Belgian striker this summer.
Origi's current deal expires in June 2020 and, if not extended, he will be able to leave the club on a free transfer at that stage.
Michael Edwards will enter contract talks with Origi this summer to see if an extension can be agreed after the striker's impressive contributions in Liverpool's Champions League …
Transfer Window? Who Cares?
The transfer window is open, speculation has already started, clubs have already started wheeling and dealing, and Liverpool have been linked with…
Well okay, to be fair, the picture has changed somewhat around Anfield over the last couple of years. Leaks don’t tend to come out of the club at all anymore, which means that whilst some of the unreliable sources will link us to any player that looks like they’d fit the bill, tangible links to players are few …
Liverpool’s Long Goodbyes
One of these days summer will actually come. It may feel like we’ll be forever chasing City, one point behind, in a perpetual spring where the temperature never climbs above frigid. But the calendar is in-fact progressing. We know that we’re not stuck in a time-warp because Joe Gomez and Oxlade Chamberlain are apparently ready for action.
Some morning soon you’ll actually look out the window and see the sun and it will be time to consider Liverpool’s summer signings, …
How Michael Edwards has ruined the Transfer Window for me
The year has come to an end. As we move into the new year, it is supposed to be an exciting time for us football fans - the games are coming in thick and fast over this festive period, and there is more opportunity for us to revel in what Jurgen's Mighty Reds are accomplishing on the pitch.
For me, there was always an added reason to look forward to New Year's Eve - it would bring the Winter Transfer …
Rating Liverpool's Transfer Window
The new Premier League season is finally upon us, and after last season's changes, the transfer window slamming shut comes with it.
Liverpool were the biggest spenders in England this summer, and fans and pundits alike are touting Klopp's men for a big season. But just how good was their transfer window?
In:
Following the Champions League final on the 26th May Reds fans weren't in the highest spirits. Salah's injury coupled with Karius' blunders (no matter what caused them), …
