Players back for pre-season training

Most of the senior team players who were not involved in an internationals after the season ended, reported back to Melwood this morning already preparing for next season. The likes of Carragher, Finnan and Hyypia were amongst the players to return today. Other players such as Gerrard who played for their countries but not in Euro...

Robbie Keane to Liverpool?

Reports on the weekend in The News of the World suggest that Rafa may be after Tottenham’s Robbie Keane. The report suggests that Rafa will spend £20m and possibly add Crouch to the deal. When I first saw this report I laughed it off. Firstly £20m is a ridiculous amount of money to spend on Robbie Keane. At most Keane...

Torres fires Spain to Euro glory

Congratulations to Spain for winning Euro 2008. It was about time Spain won a major honour and I am glad that a Liverpool player fired them to victory. Torres has to be the best striker in Europe in my opinion. He may not have had the best of tournaments but he scored the all important goal and what a peach of a goal it was; it...

Villa’s O’neill draws line in the sand over Barry

Martin has decided to tell Liverpool: £18 million or no deal. Villa Park are now also implying that Gareth has been lying about not making their views clear to him. It certainly seems that these bridges are burned and he’s going to be on his way out. But will they go as low as 15 million quid, or will we be forced to turn...

Portsmouth after Liverpool pair

Harry Redknapp has openly admitted his pursuit of both the usual Peter Crouch, but now also has added Yossi Benayoun to the mix. It seems to me that the heightened pursuit of Benayoun may lead to his fee escalating to the point that we simply cannot turn it down. As I’ve posted before he’s a clever player, but not one...

Barry takes shots at Villa Park

Well in the transfer story that won’t end, and no I’m not talking about the Portuguese Olympic diving team captain Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Barry has come out and had some rather scathing remarks about his current and longtime employers Aston Villa. His opinions of Martin O’Neill were no more positive. His...

Benayoun insists on Anfield stay

The agent of Yossi has come out and said that even were the club to wish to sell his client, he would insist upon staying. Apparently he sees his future in a Red shirt, and who can blame him? He’s a clever player who brings something special at times against tired defenders. He’s also an excellent selection for our...

Stewart Downing linked to Liverpool

Reports this morning suggest that Rafa is lining up a shock £10m deal for Middlesbrough’s Stewart Downing. When I read this article I was in shock. The first question that raced to my mind was, “Why Stewart Downing of all people?” Downing is not exactly the worst left winger in the game but he is not world class....

Is Silva really the answer?

Congratulations to Spain for making it through to the Euro 2008 final by beating Russia 3 – 0. I have just come from watching the game and I must say the first half was terrible. The rain did not help and I guess loosing David Villa to an injury did not help the Spanish. But then in the second half they started to play well...

New LFC Signings

Liverpool Football Club today welcomes two new members to its ranks One to the first team, the other to the Academy/Reserves. 17-year-old Denmark wonderkid Nikola Saric made his move to Anfield offical today despite interest from other clubs such as Tottenham and Barcelona. Rafa made the trip to seal the deal personally on this...
