It seems Liverpool got closer to selling Darwin Nunez in the January transfer window than perhaps most realised. The Uruguayan international was said to have been heavily courted by Saudi suitors in the timeframe in question. However, with Liverpool embroiled in a four-pronged pursuit of the Carabao Cup, FA Cup, Champions League, and Premier League, practicalities had to be considered. The former Benfica striker has 11 goal contributions (six goals, five assists) in 32 games (all competitions) in the 2024/25 season. Liverpool rejected down the Saudi proposal for Darwin Nunez. In terms of Nunez’s future at Liverpool, the campaign’s needs…

Nottingham Forest kept their powder dry as the January transfer window passed without any significant business taking place. Joel Ndala joined on loan from Manchester City at the eleventh hour. However, he played for the B-Team last night, and his arrival appears to be with the future in mind. Evangelos Marinakis expressed an interest in signing a new striker during the transfer window. However, Forest were dissatisfied since a number of targets were linked but failed to materialize as the window progressed. Instead, the month was devoted streamlining Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad. With the Reds third in the Premier League,…
Scotland Under-19 international Johnny Emerson has stepped up to excel in the second string after a surplus of players headed away on loan Newcastle United aren’t exactly blossoming with senior wingers right now, but one adolescent that is in and around the first-team picture is a teenager the club scouted north of the border.

Since then, Emerson has signed a professional contract and made his first team debut in preseason under Eddie Howe. Howe tested…
It may not have appeared conceivable, but Ibrox icon Barry Ferguson has found a way to paint Rangers’ Scottish Cup defeat at the hands of Queen’s Park in an even harsher light. Ferguson points out that this was more than just a second-tier team showing up to Glasgow Rangers and putting on a ‘cupset’ to rival any in the tournament’s history. It was a Queen’s Park team that had lost seven of its last 10 Championship games. A Queen’s Park team whose morale had plummeted following losses to Ayr United, Raith Rovers, Greenock Morton, Falkirk, Hamilton Academical, Partick Thistle, and,…
Liverpool appear to be preparing to announce new contracts for Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk very soon. Richard Hughes has been in a contract standoff with the duo for the better part of the last six months. Ever since taking his role as the club’s sporting director, his priority has been to tie down not just Salah and Van Dijk but Trent Alexander-Arnold to new deals. But now with the trio having contracts expiring at the end of the season, Hughes is running out of time to get the deals over the line. Although it seems like Liverpool might…
Alexander Isak, the Newcastle United forward, has been linked with moves to both Liverpool and Arsenal in recent weeks. Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher believes Alexander Isak has outgrown Arsenal, advising the forward to strive ‘bigger and better’ than the Gunners.

Since then, Isak has scored 54 goals in 95 games for Newcastle, 17 of which have come this season as the club looks to qualify for the Champions League. Such form, though, has resulted in the Sweden international being…

The 30-year-old joined the Reds in the summer, on what was supposed to be a season-long loan. However, he is now back with parent club West Ham having had that arrangement terminated after just five Premier League starts. Ward-Prowse was featured at the start of the campaign but slid down the pecking order…

Jamie Carragher has taken a cheeky dig at Rangers following one of the most shocking results in Scottish football history. Rangers were eliminated from the Scottish Cup after an ugly 1-0 defeat at home to second-tier club Queen’s Park on Sunday, February 9. Sebastian Drozd’s second-half goal helped the Championship team win at Ibrox, while James Tavernier’s missed penalty late in the game added to the Light Blues’ humiliation. The result is so embarrassing for Philippe Clement’s team that it became a topic of conversation on Carragher and Scholes’ show, The Overlap. Jamie Carragher believes Rangers are’so terrible’ Rangers were…
As the dust settles on Rangers’ dismal Scottish Cup defeat, Philippe Clement appears to be the long-term manager. No manager has presided over an Ibrox defeat against lower league opposition that has been considered as one of the worst in live memory, and yet the CEO defends his man. There has been no vote of confidence, with Patrick Stewart previously stating that if performances did not improve, Clement’s job at Rangers would be at risk. What are the three managers linked to Rangers as of now? The same three names keep popping up after every terrible result this season, but…
