Any news on the Ox ed's? Is he signing a new contract or looking to move?

Believable2 Unbelievable6

{Ed025's Note - at this juncture it looks like he will stay with arsenal Mc..

18 Jun 2017 23:13:05
Hope he signs that new contract!

Agree25 Disagree4

19 Jun 2017 13:00:19
Awesome news, thanks Ed025. ;)

Agree3 Disagree0

19 Jun 2017 16:39:54
If he signs for us, Sturridge will be happy to have him for company.

Arsene Wenger might happily sell him to LFC and get out 4th place.

:-)

Agree0 Disagree3

19 Jun 2017 21:30:31
Yeah, The Ox is the main reason Arsenal didn't finish in the top 4! GTFO! I don't particularly rate him very highly but he was one of their better players towards the end of the season. I think Wenger is the main problem at Arsenal not the players, they have tons of quality at Arsenal.

Agree2 Disagree1

20 Jun 2017 13:28:13
Wen gers doubters at arsenal should be ashamed. He steered that club through a difficult time financially, new ground and that. Record breaking manager who turned down real madrid.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Jun 2017 16:48:39
Wenger has probably outstayed his time but having watched Arsenal a few times the laziness and what looked like couldn't give a fornication attitude of some of those quality players they have was every bit as much to blame for their position.

Agree0 Disagree0

Have LFC even considered Mendy? Any approach?
First post.
Thanks for all the input, Eds.

Believable6 Unbelievable1

{Ed025's Note - yes and yes mate..

18 Jun 2017 21:49:13
To what extent has our approach been?
Have we made an offer or have we just enquired about his availability and price?

Agree3 Disagree1

{Ed025's Note - as far as i know shayan an approach has been made but im unaware of how far negotiations have progressed mate..

18 Jun 2017 22:25:37
Thank you for the quick response.

Agree7 Disagree1

18 Jun 2017 22:42:28
City in box seat though ed right?

Agree2 Disagree1

{Ed025's Note - im not so sure about that MRM, its 50/50 for me mate..

18 Jun 2017 23:08:56
city seem to be pushing for Bertrand so if we really want Mendy, this is our chance to strike a deal. Pay the fee because he's worth please LFC.

Agree6 Disagree2

18 Jun 2017 23:16:24
From what I've read. There has been interest from quite a few clubs including us but the price and wage demands are proving a stumbling block for most.

Agree3 Disagree1

19 Jun 2017 01:39:01
Mendy wants to come to us (or to whomever) provided we sort out the fee and his outrageous wages.

Agree3 Disagree0

19 Jun 2017 02:25:14
Hi Eds, Thanks for providing some insight on the Mendy situation. While it is certainly encouraging that we're in the mix for the best players available, I'm just not sure if we'll be able to afford paying 180k-220k/ week for a left back, if the rumours of about his salary is true. Unless of course we are just using the VVD money and investing it on Mendy instead.

Agree3 Disagree1

19 Jun 2017 07:11:30
what we paying for milner to play there?

Agree5 Disagree0

19 Jun 2017 12:10:28
Has someone seen mendy play?
I haven't seen enough of him, barring the champions league games with city and juve. I did however see some clips on youtube but they only showed his attacking side. So how is he defensively?

Agree0 Disagree1

19 Jun 2017 17:27:57
He's pretty good defensively on account of his brick outhouse frame and his whippet-like speed. These attributes get him out of some sticky situations. Against a flying winger he might not recover his position quite so easily.

Seen the rumours but can't see it being true. be a great addition though.

Ya there true that we will spend 70mil on a st . 😂.

Agree6 Disagree9

18 Jun 2017 18:18:32
FSG and Klopp are definitely interested in him. We're going to offer him 200k a week agree terms and then offer Dortmund 1 million for him who will then report us for tapping up.

Agree15 Disagree10

18 Jun 2017 19:43:56
Klopp has said he is not interested in any players from Dortmund and we won't be paying that much for a player in an area we are not lacking in as in scoring goals so moral of the story? Not happening.

Agree5 Disagree5

18 Jun 2017 20:28:17
Stems from the players or people around him trying to generate interest he has apparently stated he would like to play for Lpool and work with Klopp again hence the latest furore.

Agree7 Disagree0

18 Jun 2017 21:45:27
I am sure most teams would be interested in him. IMO he is a great player and he seems like a good enough bloke. He even looks like the sort of player that would fit in with our boys. But i could be way off.

I do not think we have much of a chance of getting him, but i do not believe if he was interested that Klopp would say "no thanks. " I think he would do everything he could to get him.

Wont happen but i shall dream of it anyway.

Agree2 Disagree2

18 Jun 2017 21:55:21
I think it's just an attempt to drum up interest from other clubs. PSG deal fell through and he seems to want to leave Dortmund this summer.

I suppose there's a very slight chance as the Van Dijk transfer came from nowhere (even though eventually it never happened) . I'm still hoping for Douglas Costa who is apparently about to sign for Juve for 25 million. Gutted we haven't tried to sign him.

Agree3 Disagree2

18 Jun 2017 15:42:24
Hi eds is it true that Roma have accepted £35m plus 5m in add ons and due a medical on Tuesday? Thanks guys.

Believable7 Unbelievable6

18 Jun 2017 17:22:19
People are just guessing, if it goes through they will just say told you so.

Agree9 Disagree1

18 Jun 2017 18:09:31
Haha you ain't kidding, be a decent signing to be fair.

Agree2 Disagree0

18 Jun 2017 20:09:42
As I have already stated fee agreed in region of 43 million euros and medical Tuesday

Leech.

Agree3 Disagree6

19 Jun 2017 09:33:14
And yet his agent Ramy Abbas has declared this rumour (stemming from a tagline in a fan photo) to be untrue only last night.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Jun 2017 09:06:28
Salah medical Tuesday

Leech.

Believable20 Unbelievable20

18 Jun 2017 09:25:34
I sincerely hope so. This Salah saga has worn me out now. Hopefully onto Mendy and a CB. Anything more than that is a bonus.

Agree29 Disagree3

18 Jun 2017 09:56:39
I think Mendy is out of reach mate. To many pennies.

Agree20 Disagree4

18 Jun 2017 14:58:23
Salah's good mate made a post on facebook congratulating Salah on his Liverpool move.

Agree6 Disagree0

18 Jun 2017 18:04:14
Didn't that happen about two weeks ago?

Agree3 Disagree0

18 Jun 2017 20:36:24
Thanks for signing your name at the bottom, would never have known who it was writing it otherwise.

Agree1 Disagree8

19 Jun 2017 09:34:18
His agent declared this rumour to be untrue.

Agree2 Disagree2

18 Jun 2017 08:13:19
Hi ed,
The rumour pages have Karius as a target for Augsburg. Anything in this at all?

Believable6 Unbelievable5

{Ed001's Note - there are a few clubs in Germany that would be interested if he were to be available. He is not though.}

18 Jun 2017 08:59:26
Is he still going to be No.1 eds?

Agree5 Disagree3

{Ed001's Note - it will not be like that, I expect Migs to have the shirt but only so long as he performs.}

18 Jun 2017 09:19:25
With ward staying that means we have 3 decent - good keepers challenging for 1 place. However to start challenging for major trophies I would prefer us to have a top class-world class keeper in there starting week in week out. Scoring isn't a problem it's keeping the ball out after the opposition have only 2 shots a game.

Agree8 Disagree5

18 Jun 2017 09:42:54
I think butland would be a great signing for us . Best English goalkeeper I think . Let karius and ward go out on loan . Mignolet as number 2.

Agree7 Disagree20

18 Jun 2017 10:34:30
Agree about Butland Jonboy.

Agree6 Disagree13

18 Jun 2017 10:56:45
I don't think we will sign a keeper but now would be the time to buy Butland, his stock is low after a injury plagued season.

Agree3 Disagree6

18 Jun 2017 11:44:10
Liverpool signing a goalkeeper that needs building back up? Sounds like a recipe for a ruined career to me.

Agree9 Disagree0

18 Jun 2017 11:51:11
I still think karius is good enough, he's hardly had a chance.

Agree12 Disagree1

18 Jun 2017 13:39:19
What on earth would we need 4 goalkeepers for?

Agree9 Disagree1

18 Jun 2017 15:22:41
Karius, last season was ok on shot stopping and distribution.

His ability on crosses and general mental strength were AT THE TIME below par.
He's a young lad who moved to a new club in a new country.

Whether throwing him in as No.1 was not the right decision especially as he got injured in pre-season.

Agree4 Disagree0

18 Jun 2017 16:26:57
From what we've seen karius isn't good enough. Arguably we have the worst keeper in the top six except maybe city. Jack but land would be a great signing imo. Saying that we'd be in europa leage if not for mignolet. I think he has the ability to improve.

Agree3 Disagree10

18 Jun 2017 17:03:09
But, johnnyskies, and it's a big 'but, ' is what we have seen truly representative of what he can achieve?

Agree5 Disagree0

18 Jun 2017 17:22:34
And when he gets his chance the fans get off his back and give himself time to make it his own.

Agree6 Disagree0

18 Jun 2017 19:44:25
Omg the election drama has completely thrown me off football - I can only dealing with one thing stressing me out at a time! Ward is staying? What is the club smoking?

Agree2 Disagree2

18 Jun 2017 19:50:19
Johnny if by "what you have seen" in a pathetic amount 10 games, show that Karius is not good enough then you should never be a manager or academy coach cos you would be shipping out players left right and center cos you simply lack the patience to work with them esp. the talented ones as Karius is clearly talented.

As for those calling for Butland, a player who has gone almost a season without playing should give their heads a wobble.

Agree3 Disagree4

18 Jun 2017 21:38:41
Brussels-You saying Karius wasn't poor in those 10 games?
Some players don't even get 10 games to prove themselves. It's a cut throat business and if we gave all players a prolonged period in the team regardless of performance then the team wouldn't be very successful.
That being said I'm not writing Karius off, I think he's got a good chance of being our number 1 (mainly because Mignolet is poor) but from what we have seen at Liverpool it hasn't been great.

Agree1 Disagree4

18 Jun 2017 23:22:55
10 games is nowhere near enough. You also have to consider he was a young keeper in his debut season coming coming back from a broken hand. Migs was still poor when he first got his place back. It wasn't until the the end of the season when the gk staff changed the routine of training that migs showed improvements. We haven't seen what effect that has had on karius yet. Basically give the young lad a fair chance.

Agree3 Disagree1

19 Jun 2017 01:25:44
Top top keepers establish themselves in first ten games. I don't think karius has done that. I haven't written him off but wold welcome improvement in that position.

Agree0 Disagree5

{Ed001's Note - Buffon didn't. Grobbelaar didn't. In fact I doubt you could name one top top keeper that did.}

19 Jun 2017 10:41:49
some of the greatest keepers in history were pretty awful in their first year - Buffon, Shilton, Toldo all dropped in and out of first team in first 1-2 years. I think Oliver Khan is the only one who played consistently in first year for Bayern but then he had no competition at the time.

Agree3 Disagree0

19 Jun 2017 11:14:51
Just like to add to Nevada's post, think back at how much we were laughing at Utd in De Gea's first season?!

Some people have such short memories.

Agree1 Disagree0

19 Jun 2017 11:46:46
Massimo Taibi established himself in his first game and then it all fell apart 😆.
