I was just thinking today about the possibility of Rafa making a move for Michael Owen this summer. Newcastle got relegated and will be playing in the Championship next season and I suspect quite a number of their players will want to leave and continue to play Premiership football. I went through the Newcastle squad to see if...

The papers today are filled with news that Ryan Babel has been told that he can leave Liverpool this summer. I am not too surprised about this as I felt that Babel would be one of the players we would have to let go inorder to fund the purchasing on new players.
I am sure you all agree with me that Babel has not really set the...

There is still a lot of talking making the rounds that we may be after Carlos Tevez. I guess we have to wait and see what happens after the Champions League finally. But Mascherano has come out and said that he would love to see Tevez join him at Liverpool.
A lot of odds seem to be stacked firmly in our favour regards to Tevez...

OurKop.com would like to say thank you to Sami Hyypia for a wonderful 10 years of service. I recall when we signed Sami 10 years ago for 2.6m pounds and none of us had ever heard of him. But he made an instant impression on all of us and became the rock in our defence for many seasons. It is sad that he has to leave us now but we...

The season is now officially over! And what a good result to end it all off with. It is a pity we did not keep the clean sheet so that Pepe could have won another Golden Glove. But I think this game was all to do about the farewell to Sami. I was a bit surprised when I saw the starting lineups and saw Sami starting on the bench. I...

Reports doing the rounds this morning suggest that Xabi Alonso wants to quit Liverpool in the summer! I was shocked when I read this. For me personally, Alonso has been our best player this season. There has already been a lot of talk that we will sell him in the summer to Real Madrid so that we can finance the purchase of other...

Just a few quick thoughts on priorities for the offseason.
1. Yes, I think we can all agree that a suitable partner / replacement for Torres is a must.
As we’ve read and heard nearly everywhere lately the Mancs can toss in their offensive pairing of choice more often than not while we’re forced to push the likes of...

There are continued reports today that Carlos Tevez would like to join us in the summer. When I saw Tevez being subbed off during their game against Arsenal on Saturday and he took his time to wave goodbye to the United fans, it was a clear sign that Carlos was saying goodbye to Manchester United and he would not be playing for...

The league race may have been over as United clinched it by drawing with Arsenal yesterday, but we still had a job to do today against West Brom. To see that our lads were still up for this, you just have to look at the little incident between Carragher and Arbeloa when the two fought with each other over their defensive...

Yesterdays 3-0 win over West Ham at Upton Park was easy! Going into the game, I was a bit worried as I know West Ham have been playing some pretty good football this season. In seasons gone by we would have struggled in this fixture but we have come forward in leaps and bounds this season and we handled this game with ease. I...
