Why this could be one of Liverpool's most important transfer windows in years
Eyes now turn to the summer transfer window as what feels like the longest season of all time.
It has been a season that, to downplay it somewhat, hasn't exactly gone according to plan for Jürgen Klopp's side.
Those from the outside looking in will say it's how the mighty have fallen, but everyone inside Liverpool will tell you it's just been a rotten season in every sense.
Injuries have played a big part in the meagre title defence offered …
Will this be the quietest summer transfer activity in years?
The FAs of each country are frantically rushing around to work out what will happen to their domestic leagues should the 2019-20 campaign not be finished before the end of June.
That’s the date UEFA have given each FA to finish domestic competitions following the Coronavirus epidemic that has seen virtually all sporting events suspended worldwide among other serious issues.
Liverpool had been just two games away from sealing the Premier League title in record time before the COVID-19 outbreak. …
Liverpool still need to strengthen in the summer transfer window
Liverpool are running away with the Premier League this season. The Reds currently sit 25 points ahead of second-placed Manchester City as Jurgen Klopps’ men have swept aside all challengers, winning all but one of their league games.
And, the Reds are in action again on Monday as they host West Ham, looking to make it 27 games unbeaten in the top flight. The Merseyside club sit at 2/11 on the odds for that game with Liverpool odds being offered …
Finding the perfect forward to add to the Liverpool squad
Liverpool went into the summer transfer window looking to add attacking reinforcements. Fans wanted it to happen. Journalists mentioned the need for a fourth attacker.
French media linked the Reds with Nicolas Pepe, German press claimed Timo Werner was a target for the European champions while reports in Spain said Philippe Coutinho was set for a return to Merseyside. Yet when the window closed, Jurgen Klopp hadn’t added any attacking reinforcements.
It’s still early days, but the decision not to …
Time to forget the transfer window | The real stuff starts now
Last season was a slog. It was a wonderful, beautiful slog, but it was a slog. With Manchester City so unrelenting, Liverpool had to be at peak form to get close to their final goal of the league title, and even then, we fell - even if just slightly - short. A Champions League winners medal and more incredible memories left fans with a delicious taste in the mouth, but if you’re like me, you were ready for a break. …
The real reason Liverpool shouldn't sign Philippe Coutinho
Philippe Coutinho’s rumoured availability has resulted in all logic going right out of the window.
With Liverpool failing to add to their squad this summer, fans are desperate to bring him in back on loan. Not just to give the Reds some much needed attacking depth, but to keep the Brazilian maestro away from rivals with Manchester United, Arsenal and Spurs all reportedly keen on the Barcelona attacker.
It’s a powerplay. One adopted by various Premier League clubs throughout the …
Do Liverpool Know How to be Frontrunners?
If you could have one movie character share Michael Edwards’ air-conditioning and have a chat across his desk, who would it be?
I’ll pause for a moment while you ponder the possibilities.
The right answer is, Ben Affleck. No, not Batman. Edwards doesn’t need to be roughed up just yet. Maybe A.J. from Armageddon could have a heart to heart with our sporting director and let him know just how important it is for us that he makes a signing, …
Liverpool's wonderkid approach will lead to success
It seems to the case every single year now but this summer transfer window had the potential to be the biggest in the clubs history. With Liverpool just needing to make subtle tweaks to a squad that amassed 97 points and a sixth European Cup, it was, on paper at least, a much easier task than in years gone by.
The Reds didn’t need a £60million-rated goalkeeper being courted by many of Europe’s elite. They didn’t need to part with …
Why taking Coutinho back makes a lot of sense
It's the transfer rumour that just won't go away. The will he, won't he. The shall we, shan't we. Does the heart rule the head or is it the other way around.
The summer saga (for want of a better word) for Liverpool fans this summer is whether their fallen hero, Philippe Coutinho, will make a dramatic return to Anfield after what has proven to be an ill-fated 18 months at Barcelona.
After raking in the capital as a result …
Werner vs Pepe - who is the better fit for Liverpool?
Not long ago now, Timo Werner was the man the entire Liverpool fanbase wanted the Reds to sign. However, with interest from Bayern Munich well publicised and RB Leipzig seemingly not keen on selling the German international on the cheap despite his contract situation, interest in him waned and a new player replaced him as desirable number one.
Reports in France claimed Jurgen Klopp and the recruitment team at Anfield liked Lille’s Nicolas Pepe. His 22 goal in Ligue 1 …
