Damien Comolli decided to piggyback on the recent success of Jordan Henderson to once again get his name in the headlines. The ex-Director of Football at Liverpool has claimed the club's owners fired him after telling him that £16million man Jordan Henderson was a waste of money. In quotes taken from a report in...
The Transfer Window has been officially open for nearly a month now and Liverpool's two biggest signings have been players from within the Premier League.

Maxi, Maxi Rodríguez runs down the wing for me.
