Hi Ed’s any interest in draxler and sessegnon (Fulham left back) ? Little surprised draxler is not being snapped up by anybody unless PSG want to keep him. He was brilliant before going to PSG maybe a change of scenery could bring the best out of him. I also feel the same about Lucas Moura if spurs sign him which is what’s being reported he will look a bargain at 25 million. They are pretty shrewd in the transfer market.

{Ed002's Note - (a) Persuading the player might be an issue, and he won't be joining Liverpool this month. (b) Won't be joining Liverpool. (c) I sould disagree.}

Spurs Shrewd? Did Janssen, Lloriente, Nkoudou, Sissoko, Wanyama, Aurier, Sanchez etc all happen in a dream of mine? 🤔.

Your red tinted glasses are the worst in the world MK, really man get a grip. Downing, Carroll, Adam, Allen, Borini, Markovic, Mignolet, Lovren, Balotelli, Lambert, should i keep going?

They signed the likes of Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertongen, Moussa Dembele, Dele Alli, Min-Son, Christian Eriksen for peanuts compared to what their actual market value is, not like us spending twice the market value on each player we buy because we simply have the worst negotiators in the world.

Spurs has finished over us in the table 7 out of the last 8 seasons mate, so wake up.

If Spurs had Mohamed Salah f. eks, there is no way on earth he would've been sold for anything less than a world record transfer fee, but Real Madrid will start by bidding 85 million euros in the summer because they are dealing with FSG not Daniel Levy, so yes Spurs are much better in the transfer market than liverpool have been for a very long time, they pay much less than us for the players they want and sell their players for good money unlike us. Its only improved recently since Klopp took over. And to write Aurier and Davinson Sanchez off already is a bit funny coming from you since you're one of the guys that know about time to settle and get used to the PL. I am pretty sure i saw you say the same thing about 10's of our failed signings.

{Ed002's Note - They won't be dealing with FSG. Your posts are beomcoming more and more ridiculous as it seems you know so little about the club and seemed to be aimed at putting down the owners. Are some of your posts meant to be some sort of joke?}

Sell our players for peanuts? I don’t think so! If anything we ask too much for players and get stuck with them! FACT.

Legendary what seems to be the problem? Your not happy players want to leave Liverpool so we sell them. Takenup another sport because that happens at every club.
Even our legends left. Just look at fowler, mcmanaman, Owen, Gerrard was very very close to going.

Neymar left Barca. Even the mighty Barcelona had to sell. As did Ronaldinho, as did Brazilian Ronaldo. And there are plenty of examples out there, I’m sure you can think of a few yourself.

{Ed002's Note - I rather doubt he can think of anything himself - he is busy doing his "Agent Badges". http://valleylibrary.ca/event/secret-agent-training

I am excited about Legendary taken on his agent badges. if they are gold standard badges then hopefully he can use that to attract the world's top players and convince them to stay at liverpool!

Legendary. we sold Torres for 50mill before Klopp, Sterling for 50mill before Klopp, Suarez for whatever it was, before Klopp. id respect your arguments against FSG if they actually had any basis of reality. But they clearly do not. We signed coutinho for 8.5, Suarez for 22.5, Can for 8, mane for 35, Salah for 35, Sturbridge for 15. I can go on.? For every bad transaction at a club you will find a good one. It is the same for Spurs, it's all merry you naming the players they bought for cheap and have been a success but there are just as many that flopped, just like ourselves. You named 6 bargain players for Spurs, I've named 6 bargain players for LFC. go figure! I try my absolute best to leave my rose tinted glasses at home and be objective as possible. and your accusing MK of wearing red tinted glasses when in reality you have an anti FSG shield up, not allowing you to see the wood through the trees. Good luck to ya.

The last good signing Spurs made was Son in 2015. Alderweireld, Dier and Alli were good the year before. Since then their transfer policy has effectively been "is he tall, fast or strong? "

Even before that, they spent £100m trying to replace Bale with mostly bad players, and then stumbled onto Harry Kane who was on loan at Coventry the whole time as they desperately tried out the likes of Adebayor.

Pochettino has been lucky. When he joined Spurs he already had Lloris, Walker, Vertonghen, Rose, Dembele, Eriksen, Lamela and Kane. He's added 4 good players to that bunch in 8 transfer windows (Alli, Dier, Alderweireld and Son) .

Klopp is pretty average in the transfer market in my opinion, but in his 5 windows we've added Mane, Salah, Keita, Chamberlain and Van Dijk. All 5 of whom are major improvements to our team and expected to play big roles in our short and long term future. So whilst Klopp is averaging 1 good player per window, Spurs/ Poch are managing 1 good player every two windows. I don't know what is going on in North London, but Tottenham are systematically dismantling their own team by refusing to pay the going rate, and replacing top footballers with top athletes.

I'll admit, that some of their business has been good. However their scatter gun approach is limiting their ability to compete financially. Our responsible approach under Klopp/ FSG to only sign a handful of players each summer, and sign nobody if we can't get who we want, is allowing us to compete financially. Deny that if you want, but Keita and Van Dijk alone must have cost us close to £150m. Salah, Ox and Mane probably totalled a similar amount. If you are not happy with £300m on 6 players, you're a spoilt brat.

You clearly have a negative opinion of FSG, Klopp and Liverpool though, and you must think the grass is always greener. Maybe you'd like Nkoudou instead of Salah? Or Sissoko instead of Keita? Or D. Sanchez instead of Van Dijk?

I really couldn't care less about Spurs getting 1 in 10 transfers come off for them. Maybe if they stopped throwing money at average players, they could afford to pay the wages that would make players like Rose, Walker and Alderweireld want to sign new contracts? Whilst we're on that subject, Van Dijk is one of the highest paid players in the Premier League and cost a world record fee. Do you think Spurs would commit that kind of money on a single player? They've taken 3 years to (reluctantly) put Harry Kane (top scorer in Europe last calendar year) on a salary about £200k short of what Real Madrid will offer him, probably this summer.

You are biased and simply looking for a stick to beat FSG with. Try again buddy.

Honestly, and I'm not attempting to be rude but I'm going to suggest he's a troll.

There's a serious lack of knowledge or ignorance going on, or else it's just simply a troll and I have noticed this the past few days that it has ballooned from small, silly statements to very ignorant ones.

Must surely be a troll.

Nobody can be that articulate with their posts but that stupid surely.

This Legendary must be some kind of wind up bloke trying to forment dissent cos NONE of what he spouts is even true in the slightest.

MK as for Spurs, I agree that Poch has been poor in the TW and Klopp is way ahead of him in that regard. Why? He has been here in the PL longer than Klopp yet Klopp is now neck and neck with him if not already ahed of him. The likes of Sanchez, Nkoudou, Aurier, Sissoko are average to poor players and the only player we have not seen reach his potential as of yet since Klopp arrive is Karius BUT he has every chance to do that. By this metric alone IMO, Klopp is better than average in the TW.

Someone remind me how much we paid for Coutinio and what we sold him for.
