It's no secret that the foundation of Liverpool’s recent success has been their excellent transfer business. Prior to the capture of Virgil Van Dijk for a world record transfer fee for a defender and the following summer spending spree which saw four new faces walk through the Shankly gates, Michael Edwards and co conducted...
I hate transfer windows. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. A solid third of the year – and that’s just when it’s open – dedicated to incessant droning about every player under the sun, consistent links and, worst of all, complaining about things that haven’t even happened yet.
“Why on earth haven’t...
Brexit! And you thought you would be able to avoid politics in the warm, comfortable cocoon that is Premier League football. Any small nudge to the freedom of movement principle could have a nuclear bomb sized impact on England’s top division. Liverpool start a maximum of 5 UK born players for any given match...
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.

The new Premier League season is finally upon us, and after last season's changes, the transfer window slamming shut comes with it.
Liverpool were the biggest spenders in England this summer, and fans and pundits alike are touting Klopp's men for a big season. But just how good was their transfer window?

Jürgen Klopp has earned our trust, having transformed this side from its underperforming state at the end of Rodgers’ reign, but fans have every right to question his attitude over the January window, with the club’s old guard suffering two more casualties.
Joining Liverpool in January 2013, Sturridge and Coutinho both departed the club having...
Radio silence makes everyone nervous, particularly when it comes to transfers.
Having allowed Coutinho to make his highly anticipated big-money move to Barcelona midway through the season with the top-four, FA Cup and Champions League still all to play for represents a huge risk from Jurgen Klopp and the owners. Naturally, that's sent fans into...
Following a superbly eye-catching Confederations Cup, the stock of one former German wunderkind turned peripheral star seems to have not been higher.
Julian Draxler, formerly of Schalke and VfLWolfsburg, is a name hitting the rumour mill once again, with the news that Paris Saint-Germain are set to continue on their path to utter and total...
Early in July we all had our favorite Liverpool writer we looked to for transfer intel, but those usually clued-in were mostly silent. Into the void stepped a new batch of ITK’s with exotic ties to unnamed “sources” from far away lands. We quietly hoped they had it right. They didn’t.
Curiously, they were all...
Reports of Liverpool’s chase for Kylian Mbappe have lingered throughout May and June. The Reds have been tracking him for quite a while and have not been put off by his rocketing notoriety or his price-tag. Good for them. Let’s be honest, if he were signed it would change perceptions among supporters and rivals...
