I know that sounds like a stupid question and naturally the first reaction will be that the more successful we are as a club, then the more appealing we will be to potential signings. But is it as straight forward as that?
Having been brought into this world nearly 36 years ago and being decked out in Liverpool kits before I was even aware, there was only going to be one team for me. Obviously I missed the glory years of Liverpool due to my age, but I vaguely remember us winning our last league title in the 1989/90 season. But as a seven year old, I didn’t hold the “Liverpool is my life” mentality that I do now which is bordering on an obsession.
Liverpool's decision not to go back in for Nabil Fekir can be described as "microeconomic" policy - long term, structural reform designed to produce benefits over an extended period of time.
It seems that ever since FSG were burned by the colossal failure of the Andy Carroll deal, they have been determined not to be the laughing stock of the transfer market. And rightly so.
Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to the fight for the title of Premier League Champions 2019! The contenders? In the Blue corner, the team that broke the Premier League points and goals scored records last season, the reigning Champions, Manchester City (muffled mumblings of support from the crowd due to poor attendance from their fans). Annnnnd in the RED corner, the most successful club in English football history! Five time winners of the European Cup! The mighty LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL CLUB (ground shaking, ear shattering cheer from the best supporters in the world)!
A new season is nearly here and I am buzzing. It has taken a while to rid May 26th’s nightmare but I’m ready for the new premier league season and it looks like our squad is nearly ready too…
In a sport where statistics now seem as part and parcel of the game as a sides’ tactics, there is one doing the rounds that rival fans have latched onto almost as soon as Jürgen Klopp took over at Liverpool.
In seasons gone by, Liverpool have always had mixed fortunes in the transfer market, and have never really excelled in their recruitment. Yes there have been a number of key signings and good deals done, but not half as many as the amount of bad ones that’s taken place.
As the PFA announced their Premier League Team of the Year this week, many were unphased to see Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah included in the 11, alongside Spurs’ Harry Kane, City’s Kevin De Bruyne and United’s David De Gea. However, the focus was more on one particular player who didn’t make the cut. That man is Roberto Firmino.
After our last two underwhelming games against Leicester at home and West Ham away which ended in draws, I have spent hours thinking about the implications of the results, our recent performances and the general belief that Liverpool have thrown away their best chance for the title in years.
