Liverpool's Werner Swerve Could Strengthen Team Bond
Excuse the pun, but Timo Werner's decision to join Chelsea came out of the blue.
The RB Leipzig forward publicly flirted with the Reds on an almost constant basis; notably taking time to flutter his eyelashes at Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp -- describing both the team and the coach as "the world's best" -- after the Bundesliga side -- thanks to a penalty from Werner himself -- defeated Spurs in the Champions League round of 16 first leg.

The one Real Madrid player Liverpool should sign
Madrid isn’t usually a city Liverpool go shopping in but the Reds never pass up the opportunity to bag themselves a bargain. Perhaps the most opportunistic club in the world right now, Michael Edwards and the recruitment team know how to find value for money in what is a grossly inflated market.
The Premier League leaders have been linked with Isco recently while Marco Asensio is reportedly a long-term target, too. But it isn’t either of the playmakers who Liverpool …
10 Young Players That Should be Catching Liverpool's Eye (Part 2)
Tonguy Ndombele
Lyon’s elegantly destructive central midfielder Tanguy Ndombele was called up to the French National Squad for the first time for this international break, and that comes off an extremely impressive 2018. After signing permanently for Lyon in the summer (for a meagre £10 million) after spending the 2017/18 season on loan there from Amiens, Ndombele has become Lyon’s most impressive talent.
Playing alongside Houssem Aouar, Lucas Tousart or Nabil Fekir in Bruno Genesio’s midfield three, Ndombele is tasked …
Midfield Reinforcements For Liverpool: Pre-contract Targets To Add Creativity
Liverpool's midfield benefitted from £100m in investment over the summer with the surprise signing of Monaco's Fabinho, and the arrival of Naby Keita - signed from RBL last summer. However, with the injury to Oxlade-Chamberlain, we've still had to suffer through games with Gini Wijnaldum, James Milner and Jordan Henderson in the engine room.
As we've seen in recent games, the three from last season's team are able to provide a solid midfield to counter teams like PSG and Man …
Five Potential Liverpool Targets from Outside the Top Six
Liverpool’s race for Champions League football next season took a reassuring step as Spurs trounced Chelsea in their own yard on the weekend, giving the Reds breathing room in pursuit of that coveted top four spot. Ahead of a clash with Manchester City, too, one could very easily reflect on how far Klopp’s men have come since the days of former managers. Gone are the times of Rickie Lambert, of Aly Cissokho and Andy Carroll. A once-maligned transfer strategy has …
Who is Reds' Target Sam Byram? Interview With a Leeds Fan
Leeds United full-back Sam Byram is the target of much interest from many Premier League clubs. The right-back has less than six months left on his current deal and the Premier League vultures are circling the 22 year old. Linked with moves to Liverpool, Everton and West Ham it seems the Essex born defender is destined to end up in England's top division sometime in 2016.
I spoke with Leeds United season ticket holder Nick Warriner to get the lowdown on the full-back.

January is Boom or Bust for Liverpool
Just one month ago I wrote on this parish about my excitement for the festive period. It wasn't just the thought of excessive drinking and mounds of mince pies that made me giddy, but the possibility of Liverpool building some momentum.
The Reds had just come off the back of three successive victories and I was full of confidence.
"We’ve overcome our tricky set of away fixtures and are just six points off the top," I wrote. "Drink it in."

Comparing Joel Matip to the Liverpool defence
Schalke player Joel Matip has been linked with a move to Liverpool in the January transfer window in a cut price deal due to his contract coming to an end in June.
You'd be forgiven for not being too clued up on Matip, when thinking about Schalke defenders it's usually Benedict Howedes and the now departed Kyriakos Papadopoulos that are at the forefront of your thoughts but it's the lesser known Matip that's been impressing for Schalke this season.
Matip, …
A real Bobby-Dazzler! What WILL Firmino bring to Liverpool?
For those who don't know what bobby-dazzler means I'll give you the definition:
A person or thing considered remarkable or excellent.
It's a very befitting description of the Brazilian international who has been recently linked with a move to Liverpool, Roberto Firmino.
The 23 year old would be considered an excellent signing, remarkable if you consider the clubs he's been linked with in the last few seasons. It's understandable too, the Hoffenheim playmaker has been in fine form the previous …
Potential Bundesliga targets for Liverpool FC
As many of you may already be aware, I am a keen follower of the German Bundesliga. Just to give you a little background, I grew up with the Armed Forces and around 10 of my formative years were spent in Germany, indeed, I went to Secondary school in Dortmund, hence my fondness of Borussia Dortmund. So yes, I am a Bundesliga fan, but I certainly wouldn’t claim to be a hipster. Anyway, with silly season already under way, here’s …
