Ed001, with Salah signed now, who do you expect or what area do you expect us to push for next?

You've mentioned Mendy is a first choice LB and LB is an area we need to purchase. Is he the next big move?

{Ed001's Note - I expect the centre back mess to be sorted out with regards to VVD next to be honest.}

U really expect us to move for VVD after all that has happened? LFC are treading on dangerous ground here, unless VVD forces the move himself. BUt it will still cost us north of 60 million and VVD is simply not worth such a big investment.
BUt I would not complain of Bertrand came as part of our annual Saints lottery package. VVD and Bertrand for a combined 80 million has a much better ring to it and solves 2 problem positions for us.

Cheers Ed. How do you envisage that to play out?

Also what's your opinion on the LB area. Surprised it's not focused on more? Had Milner done a much better then expected job that it's just not a priority? Are we about to spend north of £90m on two players (plus a tribunal fee soon) leaving very little to buy class in that position?

Thanks for your opinion on this.

{Ed001's Note - I have no idea, hopefully they will find some middle ground with Saints, as the player will otherwise be left in limbo. He has made it clear he wants to leave the club, which we have to accept is our fault, so we should do whatever it takes to set the matter straight with Southampton and get the FA off our back. It really comes down to what Southampton want to do, if they want to stand their ground and hold on to him, then we can step away and let the club and player sort things out. It is a difficult situation.

Personally I would prioritise the left back, as I think it is the biggest need we have right now. I do expect there to be one signed this summer, just worried it will be a make-do option, such as Robertson.}

If we get a good left back and no one else, I would be pleased with this window.
Wish we didn't create the VVD mess, but we've to do right by him. It's "morally" right.

Morning Ed, out of interest, if we do buy a make-do lb do you envisage Milner staying first choice?

Thanks mate.

{Ed001's Note - no.}

Ed do you expect milner to be used as the back up lb or will he be considered for a spot in mid field?

{Ed001's Note - that depends on what we need at the time.}

Dear Ed, I know situations change everyday but given what you know, is Robertson more likely than VVD now?

{Ed025's Note - i would say yes..

I was asking Ed 001 but no problem Ed002.

I'm with you Ed re VVd and the LB situation. We have to do what is right for VVD as we put him in the mess he is now in as he wants to come here and has no interest in playing for the Saints even tho, every man and his dog (at Saints) knew he would be off this season. I say we place a bid for him and let he and the Saints sort it out cos at least, we tried to smooth things out. As for the LB, t=it will be either a case where Millie stays at LB or we get a make-do in Robertson who as you say, is just pants with no defensive quality and has no offensive end product.

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool know what the price is to them and even if Southampton would deal with Liverpool, the club has made it clear in astatement that the owners forced the club to put out. Another u-turn might be an embarrassment too far for Liverpool and the owners. Klopp likes Robertson but I doubt he is first choice. So like at left back, left wing and centre back the club need to look to other options. And there are plenty.}

Sorry ed, put out or pull out? Im not trying to be funny mate either.

{Ed002's Note - Surely it is clear - the club "put out" a statement.}
