“That’s him, strong, quick, both feet, can head like crazy, jumps through the roof. He’s all you need.” If someone was trying to convince you that Yerry Mina was the perfect modern-day centre-half, the above quote could conclude their argument. Mina has shone so far at the World Cup, avoiding the rustiness one would expect […]
Picking up the paper Wednesday morning in Madrid, the headline made me spit out my coffee… OK, tinto verano. “180 Milliones por Asensio,” read the top of the page. Unfortunately underneath that it read “MARCA,” which is not the most reliable publication in the world for transfer news. It falls somewhere above Don Balon and […]
Rewind a couple of weeks and Liverpool sporting director Michael Edwards was being suggested as the next Red to be knighted. Michael and Edward were the most common baby names on Merseyside. Local sculptors were providing sketches for bronze statues… of his laptop. The surprise signing of Brazilian midfielder, Fabinho, raised enthusiasm for the transfer […]
I write these words on 14th June – World Cup day. It would be too much to suggest that you’ve noticed my absence from this website but, trust me, I haven’t stroked a keyboard for a fortnight. There are many reasons for this – work has been busy, every weekend has been booked up and […]

A lack of […]
Liverpool football club is not at the top of the transfer food chain. It’s an unpleasant fact but we need to accept it. There are clubs that are richer, stronger and can offer guarantees that LFC just can’t. So it’s natural that some players will use the famous red jersey as a stepping stone to […]
It was definitely going to be Thursday, then absolutely Friday, then without question Saturday… but at 8pm Saturday night, the Nabil Fekir saga came to an abrupt halt. Depending on which party you believe, Liverpool had reservations once they had the opportunity to review the details of Fekir’s knee reconstructions from two years prior or […]
It’s been a very strange and very fraught weekend for Liverpool fans. The timeline is sketchy, details are even sketchier but on Thursday night, it was announced that Liverpool had wrapped up a deal with Nabil Fekir. On Friday morning, Lyon denounced that, and rumours flooded that Fekir had failed his medical. Those rumours were […]
Trees in their full viridian pomp, flowers bursting into bloom; these are the first indications that summer is finally upon us. Signs that the summer transfer window is in full swing are a little more subtle.
