Anfield Red

They say no news is good news; clearly not in this case. Liverpool fans are still left wondering what is happening regarding the sale of the club, despite talk in July that the club was ‘on course’ for a sale to be completed by the end of the transfer window (tomorrow).

English fans will only have seen Raul Meireles in the World Cup and the Champion’s League, so check out this video of him in action here!

Christian Poulsen is no stranger to hard tackles and controversy, and this video of him punching Marcus Rosenburg shows he takes no prisoners!

A lack of depth at the full-back position apparently forced Roy Hodgson’s hand today, as the manager agreed to a £2.5m with Aston Villa for full-back Luke Young. Whilst Young isn’t the most known player, Insua’s pending departure to Fiorentina, coupled with Aurelio’s free, leaves the club in a precarious position.

At 31-years-old, Young is no spring chicken; however, he does have the ability to play both full-back positions, as well as giving Liverpool another homegrown player. I’m certain there are a number of supporters out there questioning the move, but at this point there really aren’t a whole lot of other options out on the market.

In 2002, Liverpool Football Club announced their plans to build a new stadium on Stanley Park; however 8 years later we are still nowhere nearer to having that new stadium, and the Official timeline provided by the club makes depressing reading.

Liverpool confirmed Roy Hodgson as their new Manager today; but what do you think of Rafa’s replacement?

The transfer wires are buzzing this morning with the rumour that Liverpool are set to ramp-up their chase for Fulham manager Roy Hodgson. That seems pretty standard when you consider he was the front-runner for the open post all along. Whilst other names have been thrown into the mix, Hogdson’s name has been the name most commonly linked with the club.

I’d love to sit here and tell you Hogdson’s the man for the job, but I’d be lying through my teeth. Truth be told, there are better names out there to take over; although I’m not sure any of them could keep Fernando Torres and/or Steven Gerrard from leaving this summer, save for one name: Kenny Dalglish.

Rafa Benitez has been offered a pay off to quit as Liverpool Manager, it has emerged this evening.

5 years ago today, Liverpool went 3-0 down at half time to AC Milan in the Champion’s Leage Final, only to get the game back to 3-3 and eventually win on penalties. Watch the highlights of the greatest ever comeback in a European Cup tie here!

It is looking more and more likely that Rafa Benitez is leaving Liverpool, after finally having enough of the lies from the club’s current owners. Benitez signed a 5 year deal last year; but has now said he does not know what the future holds for him.
