The Kop Magazine - September 2014

In this issue

LOV is in the air...and at the heart of Liverpool's new-look defence. At a cost of £20m, our cover star wasn't cheap, but Dejan Lovren has already made a fine start to his Anfield career and in this month's Kop Magazine we'll tell you everything you need to know about him including the surprising identity of his boyhood hero.

Lovren isn't the only new boy to feature in The Kop. We analyse the ins and outs of Javi Manquillo's complicated loan deal and what he'll bring to the team, take a look at whether £12m left-back Alberto Moreno can solve Brendan Rodgers' problem position and consider why £10m teenager Divock Origi is spending the next 12 months on loan at Lille when Liverpool are short of a striker.

We also consider whether selling Pepe Reina, Martin Kelly and Conor Coady was the right thing to do in light of the small transfer fees received, Chris McLoughlin explains why the loan system is providing the big clubs with a loophole to get around UEFA's Financial Fair Play ruling and we've our own unique take on the million dollar match between Liverpool and Man United that took place in Miami.

You can also win tickets for an LFC legends tour at Anfield plus £40 to spend in the Boot Room Sports Cafe, we've got an exclusive voucher offer to get a beer and burger for just £5 in Shooters Bar (in Liverpool One's Bierkeller complex) when the Reds are playing in August and we reveal what Rihanna has got in mind for the club if she manages to buy it, as she's apparently planning to do, from FSG.

You just won't find the same opinion, humour, comment and analysis on all things LFC anywhere else. Gizza read.
