Hi eds, Just wondering if we had any interest in the young monaco forward mbappe. Also wanted to know what has happened to mark gruic? has he suffered with injury this season, i exepected him to play with the first team or at least be in cup games. He looked good in pre season. Thanks in adavance.

{Ed001's Note - no idea about Mbappe right now, sorry. Grujic has been injured for most of the season.}

Hi Ed1,

Would the work permit people take that into light when renewing his work permit? (Not sure if it's done yearly in the UK, but it is in the Isle of Man where I am) .

Obviously the game time that was promised as a condition hasn't been met but it'd be interesting to know whether they take in circumstances or just minutes played etc.

Sorry if i've got some of my facts wrong

Thanks!

{Ed001's Note - injury is accounted for, yes. They only expect a player to play a percentage of games they are available to play. I don't believe it is a yearly renewal in the UK, though Ed002 would be a better person to ask on that front, as I have to admit I am completely unsure on that.}

Okay, many thanks for the reply.

Fingers crossed he gets fit soon then.

It is such a crying shame, Grujic has been struggling with a hamstring injury for months, really holding back his first season of development. Supposedly he should be back in training in early March and I hope everything goes smoothly so he can get back on the pitch before the end of the season.

Mbappe will be the most in demand young player in Europe and will have his pick of the biggest clubs in the world. Real Madrid wanted him before and Zidane knows him well. Liverpool will need Champion's League football to even be in the conversation for the top players in the market. That's why the next 13 games are so crucial to the short-term future of our club and what Klopp is trying to build. If you want the best, top 4 is a must. Either that or chuck hundreds of millions of pounds at them. That seems to work for 'certain' clubs. ;)

Was the hands-off warning on Pulisic just in the winter window or does it apply to the summer as well? Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Dortmund don't want to sell him but are aware of interest from several sides including Liverpool. He signed a new contract in January and Dortmund will resist a sale in the summer.}

Ok thanks for the reply.

Agree1 Disagree1

{Ed002's Note - You are welcome.}

13 Feb 2017 19:02:10
I'd imagine we would have to pay over the odds to get him.

Agree3 Disagree3

14 Feb 2017 13:26:59
We would have to pay what they believe he is worth to them same as any other transaction. Whether we feel it's over the odds or not is completely irrelevant.

Hey Eds, I know it is early in the season and there are several variables pending which players will leaves. Is there anyone that you think we will be going after our positions that we will address? Thanks Ed.

Believable0 Unbelievable3

{Ed001's Note - bit early really, but right now the most in danger of moving on are Bogdan, Mignolet, Randall, Moreno, Lucas and Sturridge. Mostly depends on incomings though and what offers we receive, plus where and how we finish the season will affect things.}

13 Feb 2017 06:15:45
Cheers Eds, I know it is a bit of a loaded question, but thanks for the info. Does Champions League truly play a huge impact on whether a players decides to come to the club. I would be under the assumption a player would come for the manager and the project at hand. To be apart of the build up to success. Great site Eds, been following for years.

Agree2 Disagree4

{Ed001's Note - yes it makes a difference.}

13 Feb 2017 07:18:05
Thanks for the quick response, you guys are great.

Agree3 Disagree1

{Ed001's Note - welcome mate.}

13 Feb 2017 08:41:22
Does being in the champions league have an impact on how much we negotiate wgaes for potential signings?

Agree1 Disagree1

{Ed001's Note - only in terms of having to pay bonuses each match.}

13 Feb 2017 09:14:47
Hello Ed,
Would it be fair to consider stewart, Flanagan, Wisdom, Markovic and Sakho as summer outs in addition to those you mentioned above?
Also do we hold any interest in Tiemone Bakayoko?
He is the only addition that could take our midfield up a few notches and reduce our team conceding stupid counter attack goals.

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed001's Note - not Stewart, but the others yes. Not that I am aware of.}

13 Feb 2017 09:39:46
Ed, are you surprised about Stewart? For someone who's rated he doesn't seem to get much pitch time.

Agree0 Disagree2

{Ed001's Note - he will get his chance, he is still learning, we are far too keen to give up on players in this country. He just needs to be patient, his role is one that takes a lot of thought and experience is a massive plus.}

13 Feb 2017 10:42:49
What is a Project, Other than winning trophies in the end? Every club has a project mate. Players have a short career span and they would want to use it fully.

Agree4 Disagree7

13 Feb 2017 17:59:53
Ed I see youve put Sturridge on this list. Is there a real chance he will leave in the summer then? I guess I thought he would stay here forever lol.

Agree0 Disagree2

{Ed001's Note - there is a chance, far too early to be sure.}

13 Feb 2017 23:04:25
Bogdan is still on the books ah jaysus!

Agree1 Disagree0

14 Feb 2017 07:54:04
Ah go easy, natural. I'm sorry for the guy getting a serious long-term injury. Would've been nice if he'd had a full loan season and earned a move somewhere to be number 1. Not good enough for Liverpool, obviously, but it's not his fault Brodger signed him, I woulda said yes too! He really must've thought someone was havin a laugh when he got that phone call.

Agree0 Disagree0

Spot on about Stewart there Ed.
