Hey Eds,
Its pretty clear we need full backs and striking options in the summer.
With Manquillo loan extension a TBD, Johnson definitely going, Enrique perpetually injured and Moreno lacking some defensive guile, who are out targets for LB and RB this summer?

{Ed002's Note - RB: Manquillo is on a two year loan. The system the manager has been playing has seen Can played there. Wisdom will return from loan and is another option. It would not be out of the question to see Ibe used as a wing back if Rodgers persists with this approach next season. McLaughlin is another option. Stewart is another option. If Liverpool were to pay for Manquillo to leave then they may look elsewhere. Danilo was looked at but certainly won't happen. The likes of Adriano and Alves have been mentioned by agents as possible options but such players will be expensive and are unlikely to end in anything but tears. Folks, I assume because of something in the press, have been asking about Janmaat moving to Liverpool. I don't know of interest but I am pretty sure Newcastle would not want to sell.

LB: Moreno only arrived last season. McLaughlin is an option. José Enrique is only 29 so don't be writing him off. Sam Byram has been watched.}

The sad thing is that bar Moreno none of them are good enough for cl level. Wisdom has been dropped completely by west brom, manquillo looks out of his depth, Enrique is crap, can is a cm and the others are just kids.

{Ed001's Note - Wisdom was dropped for not being tall enough, no other reason. He likes his full backs to be as much in excess of 6ft as possible. Andre was never going to suit Pulis.}

Moreno just needs to improve his right foot and get some time with a good defensive coach. Un fortunately I don´t think we have one.

The problem is we don't have anyone that's "natural in the position" that's a top performer. With Johnson gone, I can see Flanno and Moreno filling the flanks in the starting 11 when fit.
With that said, with any injuries/dips in form we are screwed. Wisdom is a CB in the making, Can a CM that needs time to cement himself into that position in the side. Raheem/Ibe as full backs limit us to the 3 at the back strategy meaning we're predictable and will play down the middle as we have most of this season.
Other than a striker (Depay please!) I honestly thing these are the 2 other priority positions in the squad we need to fill, with a box-to-box midfielder thrown in on top if we have the budget.

Are Liverpool talking with Florentinos representatives?

1.) 21 Jul 2023 23:25:37
It would be good if we are. Also ‘Florentino’s Representatives’ sound like a mafia film.

2.) 22 Jul 2023 06:40:05
Yeah, if StatsBomb is to be trusted then Luis is the man.

3.) 22 Jul 2023 11:28:55
I checked the list of representatives per state in the U. S House of Representaives and there is no state named Florentino in the country hence, no representatives exist there.

4.) 22 Jul 2023 12:03:03
We should make him an offer that he can't refuse.

5.) 22 Jul 2023 12:07:25
@Oli, love your work mate, that made me laugh out loud ????.

6.) 22 Jul 2023 13:43:03
Thanks, WDW. I have my days even tho, they are VERY rare. You're not too shabby yourself on the occasion, man.

Hi Ed's, thanks for all the insightful work you do.
Are we looking for a number 9?

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool want to add a forward.}

1.) 06 Jun 2021 22:49:17
Add to existing or a replacement?

{Ed002's Note - It will be a replacement.}

2.) 07 Jun 2021 00:15:08
Would it be a silly question to ask who for Ed?

3.) 07 Jun 2021 00:22:23
Hi Ed,

Sorry do you mean a replacement for origi/ Shaqiri or a Bobby/ mane/ mo replacement.

4.) 07 Jun 2021 00:22:23
Hi Ed,

Sorry do you mean a replacement for origi/ Shaqiri or a Bobby/ mane/ mo replacement.

{Ed002's Note - Origi is available.}

5.) 07 Jun 2021 00:30:58
I'd guess Mane lad's.

6.) 07 Jun 2021 01:06:28
Origi and shaqiri.

7.) 07 Jun 2021 05:37:01
Patson Daka I'd say.

8.) 07 Jun 2021 07:33:24
I think Origi will leave and one will arrive. Elliot to replace Shaq. This makes us strong enough in the forward area. If Mane leaves I can’t see who we can get in to score 15league goals from the left.

{Ed077's Note - Jota maybe??}

9.) 07 Jun 2021 07:33:28
I’d say Elliot is Shaq replacement. Think it might be 1 more forward if we can get buyers for Origi and Mino.

10.) 07 Jun 2021 09:03:00
The new forward will be a replacement for Origi while Elliott replaces Shaq.
Minamino does not need replacing. Give Musialowski and Kaide Gordon a shot in the domestic cup games instead.

11.) 07 Jun 2021 17:14:09
I think we will sign Kane, Mbappe and Tielemens by paying their clubs £20 a month until the year 2550.

12.) 08 Jun 2021 12:45:57
If we paid them 20quid a month until then it'd be roughly 125,000quid total lol I'm ok with us paying that now but I suspect it'd take a hell of a lot more.

Hey Eds,
Thanks for all the hard work - this is by far the best place online to get good info on club dealings.

Not a specific query on a player, but what can you see the clubs transfer policy being for the summer?

We are still a bit short of depth, but we don't need squad players anymore, we need more first teamers to create some strong competition for starting roles.

Can you see FSG sanctioning some big money signings (+30 mill game changers) or do you think the policy will remain to be buy young, test the waters and move driftwood on at a later date, if they don't cut the mustard?

{Ed001's Note - selling to buy will dictate the policy, as will the league finishing place.}
