Liverpool love a good punt on a player from a relegated side.
In three of the last four summer's, the Reds have salvaged some gems from the wreckage of sides destined for the Championship.
First, Georginio Wijnaldum and Andrew Robertson -- two players who arrived with relatively inexpensive price-tags and who have now established themselves as...
Max Clark was a surprise name recently linked with a move to Liverpool. The 24-year-old came through the ranks at Hull City and replaced Andrew Robertson in the starting XI following the Scotland captain’s move to Anfield. Prior to the 2017/18 campaign, Clark spent time on loan with Cambridge United. He stint as first-choice...
The talk of Jadon Sancho Liverpool has heightened in the past few days.
The 19 year old England international winger joined Borussia Dortmund from Manchester City in the summer of 2017 and, after making his Bundesliga debut in January 2018, has established himself as one of the most exciting young talents in Europe at the...
I found myself watching England in the UEFA Nations League third-place playoff last weekend - a pretty sad state of affairs.
When your Sunday looks empty on the social front and no other 'proper' football is on, it's (just about) better than nothing, though.

Alas, it's here: silly season. The transfer rumour mill is in full swing and the window hasn't even been open for a week.

Last week I wrote an article laying out the possible signings that Liverpool could consider as an alternative to Nabil Fekir. All of them had drawbacks, but my ultimate conclusion was that Thomas Lemar still made the most sense after a year of trying to sign him from Monaco. In the days since, Lemar...
There will always be archetypes that footballers fit into. Creators, destroyers, poachers, leaders, midfield maestros.
That “maestro” trope will be overused, as is the tendency of footballing media. It’s natural to categorise, but what exactly does that trope mean? Maestro? Is he a magic-wielding passer of the ball? Is he tricky with his feet, guiding...
The rumours are coming thick and fast, and while Liverpool stumbles their way towards one form of European football – preferably the Champions League – Jürgen Klopp has spoken of his resolve to improve his team significantly in the summer. Included in that improvement would be a backup attacker, who’s able to fill in...
