Hi eds, any of the more promising youngsters likely to move on permanently in the summer? Currently talk of Harry Wilson rejecting a new deal is why I ask, are the youngsters losing faith in a route to the first team?

Thanks eds.

{Ed002's Note - Obviously Emre Can wants out and has a number of high end clubs wanting to discuss a pre-contract in January. Philippe Countinho wants to join Barcelona and Salah had his agent approach Real Madrid a while back. Lazar Markovic wants out but asking price may block a move - but he can walk away in the summer if he can't get a January move. Harry Wilson is probably looking for a permanent move away to get playing time - Preston are keen on a loan - maybe a loan to buy. Brooks Lennon - agreement to move to Real Salt Lake on a permanent deal in February has been reached. Ben Woodburn wants game time like many youngsters - maybe a loan to Huddersfield, Sunderland or Leeds will be agreed. Marko Grujic wants to leave the club on loan in January to another English side or risks losing his Work Permit. Allan likely has no future and will probably move on in the summer - again he would need a special exemption to gain a Work Permit. Juventus have made an enquiry about Rhian Brewster but I am not aware there has been one from Dortmund just yet - but they are spending a lot of time looking at younger British players and they have the benefit of giving them chances.}

Seen a rumour today about Wilson going on loan to Preston next month.

We should just let Markovich go, I sincerely hope he can revive his career when he does leave because it's been set back drastically since joining us. Why are we asking for so much for him, I don't understand that to be honest. I think it'd be selfish for us to keep him any longer then January, he's leaving that's going to happen so let him go in January.

Hi ED, hope you are doing well.

Thank you for the detailed report into possible players that might be leaving Liverpool. But I noticed one name I was half-expecting to see on your list that did not crop up. Daniel Sturridge. There have been a couple of reports that Sturridge will be allowed to leave in January, with Klopp satisfied with the strength in depth up front.

Is this all just random paper talk or is there a genuine chance that Sturridge will be leaving us in January.

Thanks once again for all your hard work and I hope you have a great day.

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any interest in him at all, hence he is not on the list. If he wants a shot at the World Cup (which he may) then he would have to look for regular game time. If Real Betis still maintain their interest something will need to be done financially to make any move for Daniel Sturridge work. That is about as close as I can come to interest.}

Eds, the salah comment and real Madrid contact, was that pre Liverpool?

{Ed002's Note - No, a few weeks ago.}

Thanks very much for the detailed reply Ed002, always appreciated.

It's a little concerning to hear that about Salah, though I suppose it's the way of the world -- given how recently he signed, how much of a danger would you say there is of him leaving us this summer? Or even next?

{Ed002's Note - There may we’ll be an approach, but Liverpool will likely resist.}

Cheers Ed, great info as always. How is that Juventus and Dortmund can offer Brewster chances in the first team but we can't?

{Ed002's Note - Juventus have a well structured system to bring youngsters through to the first team. Dortmund have their eyes on a number of kiddies who play for English sides and will give them more opportunities than they would get in England.}
