Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp might have to make more moves in the transfer market before it shuts at the end of the month. We already know that the defence still needs to be strengthened, the opening weekend 3-3 draw with Watford hammered the point home. I’d expect the club to launch another mover for Southampton’s Virgil […]

But alas this summer hasn’t been as harmonious as the champs would’ve wanted. Unwanted distractions have continually reared their ugly heads.

So it seems that Danny Rose might be unsettled with life at Tottenham Hotspur.  The Premier League runners-up haven’t signed anyone yet and in an interview with The Sun, Rose has intimated that he’s worth more than his reported £65k a week wage: “One thing is for sure — I know my worth and I […]

Yet again I’ve decided to predict the final standings for the up and coming English Premier League season. I should warn you that I have varying success when it comes to these predictions. In August 2014 I predicted that Leicester City would end the season in the relegation zone, they obviously went on to win […]

Following Arsenal’s win over Chelsea in the 2017 Community Shield match at Wembley, he told reporters: “I am staying at Arsenal this season.” The news comes as a surprise to both fans and bookmakers, […]

One complaint I had of Celtic in recent years has been their lack of Scottish talent. They always had one or two starters and then maybe a few more within the squad. But under Brendan Rodgers the Scottish players are really making a big impression and are becoming integral to the team. Captain Scott Brown […]

I fear Liverpool’s hopes of keeping Philippe Coutinho at the club are fading. EPSN are reporting that a deal has been agreed with FC Barcelona that will see the Brazilian playmaker end up at the Camp Nou. That story suggests that Liverpool will get around £81.6m straight away and that figure could increase to £109m […]

“You can’t win anything with kids!” I actually agree with this one line from Alan Hansen. Obviously he said it about Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United team in 1995 and that squad went on and won the Premier League title that season. But in fairness to Hansen, that United side also contained the likes of Peter […]
