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 -- his first club -- Cardiff City, Hertha Berlin (twice), and FC Porto.
And now, according to reports in Portugal, the 25-year-old appears set to end …
Who is Fabio Vieira and why might Liverpool be interested?
Liverpool seem to be linked with players plying their trade in Portugal every summer. Most of the time, though, there’s a feeling that agents are using the club’s name to ramp up interest.
Anderson Talisca was one who was reportedly on the club’s radar for quite some time. Rafa Soares was another player mentioned in 2017 along with Ruben Neves before his move to Wolves. Then there was Diogo Leite, a Porto youngster back in 2018. Gelson Martins was named …
Liverpool FC and their treatment of youth players
The way that Liverpool treat their young players is interesting to me. They seem to fall into two groups under Klopp, and it’s curious to see how Klopp treats, and has treated, both young players and the loan system that they fit into.
Take for example, Trent Alexander-Arnold. His meteoric rise may have been accelerated because of an injury to Nathaniel Clyne before the start of the 17/18 season, but it was always clear that Jürgen Klopp intended for Trent …

Okay, so now is the time to get behind The Reds. It's easy to 'support' a team through a winning run or the kind of incredible record-breaking form - 62 points from a possible 75, a 76% Premier League win-rate - but when a dip in form comes about we need to be …

Nuno Espirito Santo's side have shown some real inconsistency in recent months. Wolves currently sit 9th in the Premier League table though so they would have to be very happy with that upon their return to English football's top division. They had a fantastic 3-1 win at Spur in their final game of …

It has been a fantastic start for anyone supporting Liverpool and long may it continue. However, these next couple …
Dominic Solanke - The Forgotten Cause
Dom Solanke is yet to even be named in the matchday squad this season.
Having not played a game of football since pre-season, in which he did not particularly impress, this is only going to hinder the progress of the former Chelsea player.
In his debut season he managed to score one goal in 21 appearances, albeit most of them were coming on from the bench. In a way, the expectations placed on his head to come into games late …
An Uncertain Future for Dominic Solanke
Joining back in the summer of 2017, a lot of fans didn’t know quite what to make of Dominic Solanke’s arrival. Yes, he had the potential having earned plaudits from Chelsea’s former youth coach, Adi Viveash, but arriving at a time when Liverpool had just finished inside the top-four, fans wanted a bigger name ahead of a Champions League campaign, hence the underlining scepticism.
Last season showed signs of why he’s so highly thought of; scoring in friendlies against Crystal …
Should Liverpool Persist with Injury-prone Players?
It's a debate that rumbles on every summer surrounding Daniel Sturridge and whether his injury record can see him as a reliable squad member - and the question has once again reared its ugly head this week.
Injuries to both Adam Lallana and Joel Matip saw them head home to miss Liverpool's final part of pre-season, leaving us asking as to whether both can be trusted members of the unit Klopp takes into the season.
As I've just mentioned, this …
