Just read about the article that Moreno's agent said that Real Madrid is interested. Edds any input on this? I rmb something along the line of RM is always his prefer choice and is holding on to that before moving to us. Would we lose him? RM and Barcelona is a dream club for almost every Spaniards.

{Ed002's Note - There has been no secret to Moreno's desire to move to Real Madrid - and that was enough to put off other clubs being interested in him when he was at Sevilla. Right now I am not aware of Real Madrid showing any interest in him but I am aware that Liverpool have indeed looked at a couple of left backs recently.}

He's replaceable.

He isn't that good yet! The mind boggles with some if these agents!

That's the team spirit!

Everyone's replaceable in time, but that approach hasn't served us too well in the last few Seasons. I think we need to follow Klopp principles of keeping our talent and investing in developing a close knit squad and improving our players up through hard work, not trying to sell and buy our way to the title.

We also don't have the funds to Keep doing that . agent/transaction costs and integrating new players means the risks are very high in replacing.

I really rate him and think he's starting to show his best. I hope he stays a long time but can't see it from what I understand if his personal ambitions. I expect him to move on at some point over the next 2/3 seasons and would put money on Madrid being the destination. We do have another great young left back at the club however!

Seems mad that a player who moaned at the start of the season about not playing would get his agent to start mentioning RM again, there's literally no chance he'd play ahead of Marcelo. I don't understand players and agents sometimes, he'd had 8 or 9 good games recently and suddenly he's going to walk into one of the best defences in the world?

How many people on here thought after 41 seconds of the match. Yea he can go Real Madrid to then maybe think hhmm maybe not at 47 mins. Ha.

Lets be honest RM come in for one of our players and offer enough - they will go.

Depressingly accurate Hoola although given our success (or lack of it) in recent years that is hardly a surprise. If we can be successful and win things then we can both attract and keep top players. The onus is on us to make ourselves an attractive option.

Players will always have preferences and, as has been mentioned before, many South Americans long harbour a desire to play for either Barcelona or Madrid (and do so since their childhood) - but when the decision is between Champions League and no Champions League it makes the choice much easier. Hopefully we can amend that this season.

Real Madrid will have to pay astronomical fees to get any of our players now klopp is here. This is no weak yes man, IT's JURGEN KLOPP. You think he came to Liverpool when he could have managed any club he wants just to see his players sold? NOT HAPPENING.

In the last 2 seasons we've sold 2 players to big clubs, they both wanted to leave, there was a serious danger of a toxic situation and in both cases we made good money. Hardly a situation that says we're a selling club being preyed upon.

Can't defend if life depended on it. The Spanish Johnson can go.

Both had poor attitudes, one internally one externally, one had huge talent but the other pretty damn average. And Man City you are referring to as a big club? What denotes big? A rich benefactor? If so was that Russian outfit a big club not so long back? Nah MC not a big club in my judgement!

Could you see Johnson smashing the ball into the net like that (even if Origi got the credit) or making that run and assist against Ibe? Or tracking back and making that flying tackle in the box in the last Southampton game? Didn't think so.

Yes he makes mistakes as he's young, but he's learning and at least he makes up for it in heart, guts, pace and attacking intent. He's almost perfect for Klopp's gameplan.

{Ed001's Note - the problem with Johnson is that he was capable of doing any of those things and more, but he simply could not be bothered. His work rate was appallingly low and his attention span was lower than a 5 year old on a sugar rush.}

Purlisssss. there are many better leftback who are more defensively aware than moreno. Yes he 'scored' but he was caught ball watching for Mane's goal.

Ed, is this rumour of a RM transfer ban, like Barcelona suffered, true or not?

{Ed002's Note - Yes. It is a little convoluted and rather old news dating back to the Spring. However, FIFA has found two more clubs culpable of abusing the regulations regarding the transfer of minors - both clubs have had two window bans identified as punishment but neither have had the band imposed just yet. One of those clubs offered to voluntarily take a one window ban but that was not accepted. Additionally, a larger number of clubs (double figures) have been identified as potentially falling foul of the same regulations but investigations are now on hold. This larger number does include Arsenal and Chelsea but neither has been asked to defend their position at this time. The only clubs initially investigated were those in the Champions League three years ago - FIFA will have to decide whether to extend the investigation or look to an alternate solution. For now, it should not be a concern for the English sides.}
