Liverpool FC Transfers

Brendan Rodgers, FSG and Missed Opportunities

Liverpool are in limbo. No matter what side of the fence you sit on when it comes to Brendan Rodgers you can't bury your head deep enough in the sand to not see that the club is currently in no man's land. There's no identity. There's no passion, from both players and staff. There's no...

Top Four Things That Didn’t Happen in Liverpool’s Transfer Window

Another crazy summer draws to a close. Gone are the rumours. Gone are the ITK's putting one and one into two. Gone are the mornings where one would scramble for his or her smartphone to catch up on what happened in the transfer window. As soon as it's transfer season, fans go nuts about the...

Brendan Rodgers, FSG and the Net Spend Myth

Let's be honest here, Liverpool fans are rarely content. The highs of 2013/14 wet our appetite for what could be and many have failed to readjust their expectations since. A club with as much prestige as Liverpool should be challenging for the title year in and year out but for various reasons we aren't...

Too Much Change? How High Player Turnover Affects League Performance

The optimism around Liverpool’s 2015 summer transfer window is not without due: a decent calibre of players arrived all well before the competitive fixtures kicked off, and there was an excellent attempt to rid the squad of its deadwood. The optimism was only marginally dampened by the losses of Gerrard and Sterling; but poor...

The Fans’ Verdict on Liverpool’s Summer Transfer Business

Liverpool fans rarely agree with something as a collective. Nobody is alike so it's obvious opinions will differ. I could write an article summarising how I thought the transfer window went for Liverpool but plenty of others are doing that so I decided to ask different people what they thought of our business. There...

Liverpool’s 2014 Summer Signings – One Year On

Believe it or not, quite a few Liverpool fans were pretty content with the club’s business as the transfer window closed a year ago. Yes, we were all still mourning the departure of Luis Suarez, but Liverpool showed plenty of intent by spending £117m on nine new players as they looked to build a...

Ranking Liverpool’s Summer Transfer Business

Well, the international break is sadly upon us and Liverpool, alongside the rest of the Premier League, are four games deep into their long season. Four games sounds like a reasonable time to take stock so the international break will probably be welcomed by many managers who are completing last minute checks on their...

The More Things Change, the More they Stay the Same for Liverpool FC

Seven points from three games represented an excellent start to the new season for Liverpool Football Club and, its embattled manager, Brendan Rodgers. A battling if blunt display against Stoke, followed by an unconvincing showing against Bournemouth had delivered 6 points from 6, before the Reds turned in an impressive display away at the...

What Does Markovic’s Loan Move Tell Us?

So Lazar to Fenerbache is done. The move irks anyone who believes the Serb has talent that should have been managed to blossom for Liverpool’s benefits. But to see him being paraded as the evidence of failure of last summer’s recruitment by some journalists is preposterous. He may have cost a fortune but his...

The Defensive Spine – Ten Years of Decisions

All football clubs make decisions based on scouting, word of mouth etc, on players they believe can improve their football side now, or in the future where they look to unearth new gems, the next Messi, the next Zidane, you hear quite a bit from fans and the media, but in reality very small...
