Innies…
The transfer window finally shut this week, bringing to an end a summer of speculation and random linking – so is our squad better or worse of now that the summer chicanery is complete? Let’s look at the In’s first (I’ll look at the leavers over the weekend) -11 in total but 10 realistically given [...]
Summer sheninanigans
So that was the World Cup that was – it probably won’t go down as a all-time classic (the final had the potential to be one of the best showcases of European football talent but ultimately descended into a cynical hack and dive fest) but now it’s out the way we can all hopefully start [...]
Right Royally!
Ok – so that leaves us the league (extremely unlikely) and the Europa League (extremely pointless) to aim for – not good, not before January is out. I can handle losing to Reading, I really can – I just don’t accept that they were better than us. The telly love to use words like plucky, [...]
Oh Happy Day!
So Dossena has packed the tent and Voronin is following on his way out of the Anfield exit door – I’m just glad that we found someone, anyone to take these pair off our hands. I may be being a bit unfair to Dossena – he never really got the chance to settle in the [...]
Where to go from here?
A dozen players out, half the league games played lost, every man and his dog on the managers back – hardly the ideal preparation for a critical Champions League tie is it? The Fulham defeat was hardly a massive giant-killing – Woy Hodgson has put together a useful unit at Craven Cottage and is an [...]
Realistic Targets
So a deal with a Saudi Arabian prince taking a stake in the club is supposedly in it’s final stages…let’s look into the future. It’s January, Prince Faisal has done a City and pumped a shedload of money into the club….who would you like to see Rafa sign? When I say sign, I mean with [...]
Fabio shows the way
Fabio Aurelio is potentially back in the squad for this weekends clash with Burnley – great news as when he is in the side he gives a balance to the side that can only be enhanced with Glen Johnsons addition to the squad. So after a prolonged absence from the side, missing pre-season and the [...]
Xabi Shenanigans over…
So the summers most protracted transfer has come to an end – Xabi Alonso have left Liverpool for Real Madrid, fee undisclosed but believed to be in the region of £30m. I’m sad to see Xabi go – I written before about the qualities he bring to the team but he wants to leave and [...]
Why United Micky?
So Micky Owen completes his move to Manchester United, upsetting a great deal of Liverpool fans, including myself. No-one forgets what Owen did for the club (he won the 2001 FA Cup final on his own, well at least with a little help from goalkeeper Stephane Henchoz!) and I don’t think anyone would have minded [...]
Madrid Madness
As you may have heard, Cristiano Ronaldo is off to Real Madrid for a frankly staggering £80 million pounds. That is a ridiculous sum of money, even for a player of Ronaldos ability. There’s reports this morning that he will be earning over £180k a week for his troubles – mind boggling! But this is [...]
