Steven Caulker
Liverpool’s recruitment has received widespread praise for its effectiveness over the past eight years, but there is one key part of the club’s plans that never seems to work: loan deals. I personally can’t remember a loan move working out for the Reds since Javier Mascherano all the way back in 2008, which says a […]
To a casual observer, Steven Caulker’s six-month loan move to Liverpool in January 2016 represented the most bizarre of transfers. It’s very rare that top-six Premier League teams actually bring players in on loan, rather than sending them away, especially from a team – Queens Park Rangers in this case – floundering in the Championship.

On a recent episode of the In Focus podcast on Anfield Index, host Jon Buscall and guest Harinder Singh discussed and debated the concept of a Liverpool legend: what it took to be a legend, which players deserve the honour, and why some fell just short.

Movies, specifically romantic-comedies, are to blame for the negativity surrounding certain words and phrases. Because of these movies words like predictable and reliable are shrouded in negative connotations so when you hear a footballer described in a similar way many seem to think these players are ill-fitted to this new era.

The most recent result is in – after a fair performance by a young Liverpool squad against a full West Ham side, the FA Cup Fourth Round came to a nil-nil close. West Ham confirmed the replay date shortly after the match: 9 February. Replay. It’s a word Liverpool fans have grown to loathe in […]
Injuries have blitzed the Liverpool squad since Jurgen Klopp was appointed as manager in October. Within his first week as manager he’d lost Joe Gomez for the season with an ACL Injury. Immediately he was down to just four first team centre-backs. Four centre-backs for practically an entire season and of those four two of […]
Stay calm. Don’t get too excited but if you had 12/1/2016 on your *when will fans ignore the fact Jurgen Klopp said he has final say on transfers and moan about the committee when we sign a player people don’t like is signed by the club* raffle ticket then you’ve won. The prize is nothing […]
On Tuesday morning Liverpool acted with rare speed to tie up the loan move of Steven Caulker for the rest of the season. Caulker arrives from his parent club, Queen’s Park Rangers, having spent the first half of the season at Southampton. The timing of this signing means that Caulker should be available to play […]
