Well it’s been a bit of an up and down week for Liverpool fans. The controversial departure of Javier Mascherano was followed by the exciting arrival of Raul Meireles from Porto. While on the pitch, Roy Hodgson got his first league win against West Brom, he then failed to bring in the promised new striker on the last day of the transfer window. There have been lots of different intepretations of the week’s events on live4Liverpool and we welcome another new writer Andrew Blanche to our numbers this week. Make sure to check his first article on whether Roy has already been more adept in the transfer market than previous manager Rafa Benitez in “Are Roy’s signings better than Benitez’s.” I also would like to thank Niall Sherry, David Tyrer, Mark Wilson, David Clare, Karl Matchett, Grayson Dowding, Kevin Messam, John Toher and Martyn Minker for writing for us this week. Have fun reading.
