I don't understand why no one has put a bid in for vvd through the correct channels.
I know they don't want to sell but if a bid is placed on a player that wants to leave it will get some reaction from Southampton.

{Ed002's Note - I suspect because as part of their slime trailing apology the owners and the board said the Liverpool had withdrawn all interest in the player (after a formal complaint was made to the Premier League).}

think he means why have no other clubs bid ed.

{Ed002's Note - The other interested sides were told he was not for sale and respected that. With the damage done and his position untenable, one or more will soon return.}

Do all bids get reported ed or can a club make a bid and have it rejected without the press finding out?
Maybe difficult to answer 🤝.

{Ed002's Note - It depends to a large extent on the club and any agent(s) involved.}

Sorry ed lost me with that reply.
Re this illegal approach, yes klopp did wrong but he did an has done no worse than any other manager has done over the years we all know tapping up happens. For God sake he's not committed murder I'm sick of hearing klopp did this slimy club apologies that.

{Ed002's Note - Rubbish - what he has done is, in the time that the game has been working hard to clean up its act, unprofessional and totally illegal. Others aren't doing this. Other clubs are not having to deal with constant threats from clubs they screw, not having to have the owners trail slime with humiliating apologies. Other managers will not be ridiculed for his attempts to use the press to tap up players whilst damaging professionals contracted to other clubs - van Dijk is now seriously damaged goods because of the illegal and unprofessional behavior of Klopp. I guess your knowledge of the entire subject is zip. Great job opening it up again.}

Ed2 what's the difference in Fowler opening up this subject again and me saying about opening the subject below.

{Ed002's Note - I thought you weren't going to post anymore because of your let's scre the kid because people lost parents in Northern Ireland 40 years ago attitude? You have made you point and you are very clearly not the type of supporter the club would want. Pitiful.}

Well ed02, arsene wenger disagrees with you, did everyone miss his statement that tapping up is widespread and he's been dealing with his top players being illegally approached this year and every year of the 20 he's been in management, or the longest most respected manager in the pl not telling the truth?

{Ed002's Note - Really, did he mention overstepping the mark by agents or the worst side for unprofessionalism in Europe and the behavior of Klopp and Liverpool. Have other clubs dragged slime as they have apologised for their behavior, are other clubs already serving a ban, are other clubs subject to constant warnings and complaints, do other clubs have such pitiful supporters to try and constantly blame other and deflect. Do other clubs screw up the life of a 12 year old leaving his parents in debt, lying to an investigation and trying to persuade the parents to lie as well. Do other clubs look to use high end lawyers to overcome the debt ridden parents of a child in order to avoid further punishnment. You are a complete embarrassment.}

Ed02 if most of my posts actually got through you'd have seen I've never excused or deflected from any of klopps or the clubs behavior, he's been truly despicable and lfc deserve any punishment we get, I was replying to your comment about tapping up and illegal approaches not been widespread, when clearly it as as the longest serving manager has said he's had this summer, Monaco threatened psg and city, we may be top of the rubbish heap but it's still a rubbish heap and wrong is wrong, and it's widespread and I'll take the word of a man 20 years working in the game, and frankly your refusal to accept anyone other than lfc are engaging in illegal goings on is rather an embarrassment,

{Ed002's Note - You are right that there is a long way to go, but you need to understand that the game has been cleaning itself up over many years. It doesn't go on like it used to. Liverpool need to fix what are a series of major failings. I know a light year more about the game than you will ever know and I am well aware of what goes on. Liverpool are the absolute bottom of the pile within the European game.}

I don't understand why anyone is trying to justify the club's poor behaviour. It cannot be justified.

If "the club" was one of our players, we would want them sacked straight away.

I am ashamed and embarrassed that jockstrap, Belfast and portred claim to be fans of the club I love. I'm appalled at the drivel they post trying to justify things that just can not be justified. The club and some of its employees have done wrong, accept it and move on.
Ed, I apologise for these Ignorants and assure you that we are not all like that.

Ron I wasn't excusing the clubs behavior, the opposite infact, I was pointing out what the longest serving manager in the pl had said not 2 weeks ago, he dealt with illegal approaches this summer and every one of his 20 at arsenal, ed02 I was not trying to emply I knew remotely anywhere near what you do about the game, or the goings on in it, I read these pages because I don't know much, my apologies if it came across that way, oh and I was saying lfc top of the pile as in the worst,

{Ed002's Note - I understand PR and you have probably dug a hole larger than you need, but I just want to move on from this and hope the club do too. Nothing to do with bidding on VvD or not, but there is a better way to do business. And there is no need to apologise - perhaps any more than I should. I have nothing against the club but I want to see them get back to doing business the right way. They have lost direction and need the boost of two or three seasons getting in to the Champions League and second or third in the league. I fear another Manchester period coming up with Liverpool, Spurs and Chelsea fighting for two spots. It is going to be tough.}

The club did wrong. we get it. move on.
I really appreciate the info on this site.
But ed2 when did the klopp inhospility start. at lfc, Dortmund or Mainz.
You literally have nothing good to say about the guy. I am genuinely interested on where the anti klopp feeling comes from.
Even before this summer everything about him you seemed to be negative about.
I appreciate the harsh come back I'll probably now get. I just do not understand it.
Lfc fans aren't all knuckle dragging morons and we obviously will get behind our own. not blind loyalty, but because for a lot of us we love this club, and your insesant anti klopp replies is against one of our own.
Any q the sharp put down reply.

{Ed002's Note - I don't have any anti-Klopp feeling and have done no more than tell you the truth.}
