FSG confirm plans for ENORMOUS signings
All eyes are on Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) right now with big Anfield contract negotiations reaching a crucial stage, and it appears there are signs that the Americans are ready to splash the cash.
The Boston Red Sox, who were the first sports team owned by FSG, have struggled with mediocrity in recent years, leaving fans disappointed with the lack of investment in their team.
However, it looks like things may be about to change at Fenway Park as the Boston Globe are reporting that meaningful investment could be on the way for the Red Sox.
The nine-time World Series winners are chasing free agent Juan Soto, one of the most sought-after players in Major League Baseball right now.
According to the report, a contract for Soto is projected to run from 12-15 years and is likely to exceed $600 million in value.
This length of contract and reported wage will be absolutely mind blowing to football fans, but longer contracts are more commonplace in the MLB, and the Red Sox already have Rafael Devers signed to a 10-year contract.
We wait to see if this is the start of a new era, and if it has major implications across the pond on Merseyside.
How Man City started their own downfall with embarrassing post
It's another week and another Manchester City defeat.
Liverpool fans have missed that during the international break but it looks like Pep Guardiola's embarrassing trend is set to continue.
He lost four games in a row for the first time before the international break and he's now lost five in a row after tasting defeat to Tottenham.
It's quite the remarkable downfall considering this is a team that looked impenetrable a few weeks ago.
But it's a downfall that was pre-emptively brought by City themselves.
Liverpool ready to sign Darwin Nunez's arch nemesis
Whilst Liverpool can rightfully boast about having the best defence in the league right now, there is a legitimate chance that it looks almost completely different at the start of next season.
Both Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold are out of contract, and the reports of Andy Robertson’s demise might not be too greatly exaggerated with our report that Liverpool requested permission to contact Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez.
As a result, there is a chance Ibrahima Konate becomes the most experienced man in Red at the back come August 2025.
Rumours of who his partner, should Van Dijk truly be heading out of the door, have been ablaze. A new one has emerged, however, and it’s an old foe of Darwin Nunez.
Liverpool academy graduate sentenced for smuggling £250m worth of drugs
Liverpool's academy is known for its remarkable development of talented players.
And while many go on to play with the first team, or enter professional football for other teams, some take a wrong turn and enter the wrong crowd.
For 31-year-old academy graduate Jamie Menagh, his career soon went downhill after featuring for a number of teams in the English Football League.
This week he was sentenced at Mold Crown Court to seven and a half years in prison for his role in a gang operation that saw £250million of class-A drugs smuggled into the country.
Liverpool preparing huge Martin Zubimendi offer
Even though Liverpool look like the best team in the world right now, the squad situation indicates that they might be in more of a transition period than people realise.
There is, obviously, the big three contracts of Mo Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold to sort out, as well as rumours of a new left-back and new centre-forward on the horizon.
One part of the squad that is seemingly settled, however, is the midfield.
The summer’s rejected approach for Martin Zubimendi left a hole at defensive midfield that Ryan Gravenberch has filled with a level no one truly expected.
As a result, it doesn’t really feel like a midfield addition is needed.
But a new report from TEAMtalk indicates that Liverpool are still very much interested in Martin Zubimendi and will move for him again in the January transfer window.
Liverpool fans will enjoy Guardiola's pathetic excuses as Man City lose AGAIN
Manchester City suffered defeat again in the Premier League on Saturday evening. Music to Liverpool’s ears.
The result is one that City fans will want to forget quickly, but it could play perfectly into Liverpool’s hands.
The Reds could move to eight points clear of Manchester City with a win over Southampton on Sunday, and then their next Premier League game comes against Guardiola’s side at Anfield.
City fans will be scratching their heads at their sides bizarre form, but Guardiola was once again full of excuses at full time.
Liverpool's Ben Doak stuns with another incredible moment for Middlesbrough
Doak caught the eye during international duty providing a brilliant assist for Scotland and he has now continued in the same run of form at Middlesbrough.
His side went 1-0 against Oxford but Doak inspired a remarkable flurry of goals and spectacular comeback.
Doak won the penalty for Middlesbrough's equaliser with an excellent piece of skill after which he was subsequently clattered by his opponent. The penalty was then converted by Emmanuel Lath.
The Scottish teenager then, continued to be a threat as Middlesbrough scored two more goals before half-time.
Incredibly, Doak was booed at half-time by Oxford supporters, who were unhappy with the Liverpool loanee's involvement in the penalty.
