Why An Andy Robertson Upgrade Is Still Needed
Should Andy Robertson Be Moved On...?
Since the signing of Scotland’s current international captain, there is little doubt that until recently, he was an elite level left-back who was rightly regarded as one of the world’s best in his position. The signing of Hull City’s relegated fullback (in the summer of 2017) was an underwhelming piece of business that saw the reds send Kevin Stewart in the opposite direction. That £8m deal (for each player) made the transaction a virtual …
Favourite LFC Signings And Worst LFC Departures: Good Buys and Goodbyes: Part 1
I assume, gentle reader, that you, like me, are a hopeless consumer. It's not our fault. Decades of crass commercialism, manipulative media advertising and force-fed capitalistic ideology have taught us to crave the next purchase and moulded us into believing that the next shiny thing will be the one that finally fills the yawning void in our cynical 21st century souls. Cars, clothes, books and kayaks are how I self-medicate, for example. I know, it sounds just as mental to …

Why Negotiations with Mid-Level Clubs Are Crucial to Liverpool's Regeneration
Low-key signings from mid-level clubs or the recruitment of undervalued players were once the bedrock of Liverpool’s recent success. To have won the Premier League in the era of Manchester City’s obscene money laundering, will one day be looked back upon with astonishment.
