Hi Ed's,

Is there a possibility to sign Julian Brandt if at all Coutinho is leaving?

{Ed001's Note - that ship has sailed.}

Like our transfer window except That ship has sunk.

Anything further on Meyer?

{Ed001's Note - no.}

Brandt made it clear, that he wants to resolve the mess of a season they had last year and a move to Bayern with a pre-agreement beeing rumoured in German meadia.

Max Meyer on the other hand would be available. He didn't want to sign a new contract and he said "Who knows, the market is open for another month (said that a few weeks ago) and there is still a chance for a fresh start somewhere else. For now im excited for the new season". His contract ends 2018.

Meyer is not in coutinho's bracket. He is another potential who will need a couple of years to hit the peak. We should look at established players. Meyer and Woodburn what are the differences?

So what's our plan ED001?!

{Ed001's Note - our plan? Are you suggesting that LFC have plans? They have no idea about forward planning, that much is obvious!}

Difference between woodburn and Meyer is a few years more experience. I agree he is still getting better, as coutinio was when we bought him.

Our summer plans? Waste almost the entire transfer window chasing after players that we are told aren't available. keep chasing them. suddenly find out Barcelona are after our best player. discover that he actually wants to leave. return to chase players that aren't available and then realise we have no plan B for
1. The original players we were after
2. a plan to replace our best player who if off to Barcelona.

Then immediately realise that we are no better than we were last season due to all of the above.

MDS.

Spot on, Faith. Meyer is not in Cou's league. He will be a project just like Woody is so why sign him, exactly?

So liverpool should have only one extremely promising youngster? Meyer has more experience at the top level. He is quite similar to woodburn although I think Meyer is a little better. I hope we go for him. At least we would be going for someone who wants the move.

Have I really just seen someone ask what's the difference between Woodburn and Max Meyer? A regular in the Schalke side and Germany, then a lad who rarely fractures for a poor Liverpool side? Jesus, I know Woodburn has potential but don't say silly things like that.

Agree with everything you said redbutcher until you said "a poor liverpool side" Man, did you watch us last term. I'm biast but we were the best team in the league until mane loss, then PC loss. Did you see the way klopp had us playing in the last few games? Cagey and solid. Very clever. And players like firmino and Can, DS played it excellently.

We must be a poor side cos we did not win the league last season, as if anyone thought we could do that with the team we had with all the holes in them.

Poor Liverpool team, how can you say it's not? We have very little class in depth? We have a defence that a mid table team wouldn't be proud of? Wake up our team is a myth. We have a very good attack. Miles off the pace. We haven't won a trophy in the last 5 years? Poor side maybe harsh in some people's eyes, but everyone can agree with under achieving as a better adjective. I know what I've said is very negative. But when you pay your money to watch from the stands week in week out, you have the right to state your views.

Fair enough redbutcher. Liverpool fans have been spoiled and think winning trophies is a right. Most fans never see their team win anything. I'm not having a go dude, but I will disagree, I think our team oozes class but needs more Players. Defence were class against hoffenhiem. I think we are a great team. In a mini league of the top 7 terms last season we would have been at the top. I think that says it all. We didn't once get beat by a top team. Firminio lallana mane salah Hendo can taa, all amazing.

For me buying him would be a repeat of the Ibe and Markovic situation where the club spent good money on a player they essentially already had and screwed up on both. If have a choice I'd put the time and effort into the 17 year old with potential rather than spend money on an older player whose advantage comes from age and game time and isn't significantly enough better to justify blocking existing players.
