In the swirling world of football, connections often grease the wheels of player transfers. Liverpool's newly appointed Sporting Director, Jorg Schmadtke, may possess the golden threads that could land the promising Manu Kone in the Reds' lap. A Divisive Figure with Indispensable Connections Schmadtke, a name that carries a certain divisiveness in his German homeland, now...

Ladies and gentlemen, it's that time of the year again - the summer transfer window. And if you're a football fan, it's like Christmas come early. In the latest transfer news, Liverpool have reportedly opened talks with Sporting CP over a possible deal for Uruguay midfielder Manuel Ugarte. According to reports, the deal could...

Ryan Gravenberch's patience seems to be wearing thin as he implores Bayern Munich to reconsider their position on his potential departure this summer. From what 90min has gathered, the young midfielder is keen for the club to entertain offers that come their way. Since signing from Ajax last summer, Gravenberch has found himself playing a...

Liverpool’s to-do list this summer seems to be increasing by the week.   You could easily justify a minimum of three midfielders. There is an argument for a back-up right-back coming in too, especially if James Milner doesn’t renew for another season.

Liverpool’s announcement of their Dubai training camp and friendlies against AC Milan and Lyon, will do little to switch focus away from other matters such as takeovers and transfers.

Now and and again, I’ll type in the name of a player we’ve been linked to, and read only the twitter threads that state a signing is imminent. Anything that offers bad news (often logic)...

Silly season(n) 1: a period (such as late summer) when the mass media often focus on trivial or frivolous matters for lack of major news stories 2: a period marked by frivolous, outlandish, or illogical activity or behaviour. There’s been a lot of silliness. It’s roughly two months since the Champions League final. A disappointing end on the pitch...
