Since the summer things seem to have calmed down at Liverpool Football Club. However, with the impending transfer window of opportunity looming, are things set to take a turn?
Milan Jovanovic’s agent, Cvijan Milosevic, has recently admitted that his client could exit Liverpool in the January transfer window. The 29-year-old joined Anfield in the summer on a free transfer from Standard Liege but has struggled to make an impact, with Roy Hodgson limiting his appearances to European games. The Serbian’s situation seems less than certain and it would not surprise me if Jovanovic found his way out of Anfield come January.
Another member of the Anfield squad whose future does not seem all that clear is England International right back Glen Johnson. “Johnson has criticised manager Hodgson’s style of play, slamming Liverpool as ‘boring’ recently, and has duly been linked with a reunion with former Reds boss Rafael Benitez at Inter Milan.” Johnson’s future seems even more in doubt as rumours circulate that Hodgson is interested in recruiting right back Rod Fanni from Rennes.

Pepe Reina’s Liverpool career also looks to be on slightly shaky ground as the Spaniard has made it clear that he would be willing to leave the club if it meant success could be had elsewhere. Recently Reina made the coy remark “I have a contract with Liverpool, that’s all.” When asked about his future. Is Liverpool’s superb shot stopper on his way out of Anfield?
Finally, is it the manager himself Roy Hodgson who is set for the Anfield Chop this January. With the introduction of Damien Comolli as Director of Football Strategy at the club has Hodgson’ position at the club been weakened? “It has been speculated that Hodgson’s say in transfer deals will be diminished as a result, with the new American owners also reportedly unimpressed with the former Fulham boss’s recent acquisitions.” Could the recent goings on at Anfield move Hodgson closer to the exit door?
