THERE is something about doing shows that concentrates the mind. Yesterday we recorded our transfer show, The Gutter, and had a big chat about Virgil van Dijk, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Mohamed Salah among others. The most bullish I got was about van Dijk. I’m...
HERE we are then. Knee deep in it. The summer. The silly season. Call it what you will. It’s that time we all wait and watch and hope. Checking the news and the gossip columns for signs of life. Hoping that Liverpool can do the deals that will create a buzz for...
