Little birdie tells me LFC have agreed a deal to sign Columbian left back by the name of Anderson Arroyo. He had a trial with Liverpool in 2016 I believe. 18 month loan to a Spanish team. He is 18.

Cheers.

According to South America football journalist Simon Edwards we have acquired all his playing rights but will have to loan him out next year - possibly to Mallorca - seems an odd move to me.

If i was getting somethin from Colombia it wouldn't be left back.

Maybe one of the Ed’s or someone can tell me if I’m correct, i always assumed this was done because the time required to obtain Spanish citizenship is 18 months or 24 months. that way they become European citizens and they no longer need a work permit. i think here in the U. K. the requirement is 7 years.

Agree2 Disagree0

20 Jan 2018 10:51:57
Yes Hoody I believe it's 700 plus days unless this changed recently or with the UK leaving the EU.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Jan 2018 12:38:53
Yeah I’ve had a chance to read about this now, it’s 2 years for people coming from Spanish/ Portuguese speaking countries and former Spanish colonies. im not going to bother going into the bit spout Spanish grandparents and marriage to a Spanish citizen.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Jan 2018 15:30:42
Hopefully someone has considered that him being a Spanish citizen in 2 years time might be utterly irrelevant to getting a work permit here.

David James?

Really?

Well I never!

Agree30 Disagree5

19 Jan 2018 18:37:37
I doubt it. Though he's a very good player and I'd reserve judgement on any player until they have played many games for us. Especially with most of the players who are being lauded (mo, Bobby, mane, ox, robbo) atm having been wrote off before they kicked a ball.

What is the plan for Steven Gerrard next year, will he stay at u18 level or move up to u23, or even liverpool first team fold as a coach do you feel? nice one.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

19 Jan 2018 16:28:26
Could be wrong, but i think Ed001 alluded to Gerrard potentially replacing Pepjin Lijnders as the first team development coach. My memory over Christmas is hazey though. Too much cold weather 👀.

Agree22 Disagree1

19 Jan 2018 23:18:03
Say it isn't so. He's doing a five job inspiring the impressionable kids but waaaay too early for replacing pepjin's role. Might he ever be suitable for a role like that ever? Personally, for the person and behaviour, I'm not so sure.

Agree6 Disagree3

20 Jan 2018 02:34:55
In my opinion he is not ready to replace pep as coach. I wouldn't even let him drive the first team coach yet.

Agree6 Disagree1

19 Jan 2018 15:21:51
Juventus has everything to offer except money for Can. I am sure his head would be turned again and he would choose Liverpool over Juventus. With Goretzka off to bayern liverpool will keep Can and it makes sense! He gets picked every week so why not after summer? Let's be honest there isn't any CM at the club that would displace him on current form. When Keita arrives he would play alongside Can!

Believable18 Unbelievable8

19 Jan 2018 15:55:54
I would imagine our wage bill is way higher than Juves if it was just about money he would sign for us. It looks like he wants to go so it must be tropheys or uncertainty over his starting place which seems unlikely since he starts every week.

Agree2 Disagree4

19 Jan 2018 16:57:08
Well he probably will win trophies at Juve but being part of our team and winning trophies with Liverpool will feel more special, as I’m pretty sure silverware will be coming to Anfield again very soon! YNWA.

19 Jan 2018 13:11:07
Just read Liverpool could 'swoop' for Marcelo Brozovic. Presumably like a peregrine falcon picking up a plump pigeon. Eds do y'all know if there is any form of interest from Liverpool in this fella?

Believable4 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Not that I am aware but there is interest from others.}

Oblak again speculated at 100 mil euro - media talk but would be a hell of an upgrade.

Believable13 Unbelievable3

19 Jan 2018 14:16:07
€100m for a Keeper. The crazy world of football.

Agree11 Disagree4

19 Jan 2018 17:28:22
Every position is important it doesn't matter. look at manu will u say DeGeas worth 50m coz he is a gk? no a good gk is the base of a team without one you never win anything.

Agree6 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - i will have that liverbird..

19 Jan 2018 19:27:19
Goal Keeper is, if not. The most important player on the pitch, Besides a 20+ goal scorer a season striker. (or salah) 😉.

Agree1 Disagree2

19 Jan 2018 19:29:05
But can you imagine Oblak making a mistake which he most certainly will every goal keeper has mistakes in them and he gets slated here as the 100 million goal keeper who made a mistake. Some people will probably expect miracles for that price. I don't but some might.

Agree5 Disagree1

19 Jan 2018 20:15:15
The real question is, why would he go to Liverpool. Top class players don't joint Liverpool.

Agree0 Disagree10

20 Jan 2018 12:11:18
Why not just Kasper Schmeichel for 40mil?

Agree1 Disagree3

22 Jan 2018 06:41:43
Cos Scmeichel isn't a top 4 keeper.

Agree2 Disagree0

22 Jan 2018 15:32:49
If Oblak proved to be the key to the winning of first league title in almost 30 years that could be the best 100M the club has ever spent. Then again if not there won’t be a shortage of people to get on his case. Fine line really isn’t it.

Agree1 Disagree0

19 Jan 2018 07:47:05
Eds any chance of Origi returning for the final part of the season or is not up to Liverpool? Also does Klopp rate him or are we looking to get rid of him?

Believable2 Unbelievable25

{Ed001's Note - unlikely.}

19 Jan 2018 10:03:38
He's not good enough!

Agree27 Disagree18

19 Jan 2018 12:26:16
He's more than good enough Jay. This is the player who scored vital goals in both legs of our Europa League ties with Borussia Dortmund in Klopp's first season with us. He has great potential, has pace, can hold the ball up, get on the end of crosses, play anywhere across the front line and scores some excellent goals.

For me, should Sturridge leave I'd be more than happy for Origi to come back. I like him. I'd actually be disappointed to see him permanently leave Liverpool.

Agree7 Disagree17

{Ed002's Note - I eould not hold your breath about Origo "coming back".}

19 Jan 2018 12:50:36
Reid, you’re battling the usual comments. Origi, bobby, Hendo, Lallana, Salah, mane, can, Gini, Moreno, Robertson, TAA, Gomez, Karius, Coutinho, the ox, Virgil, Klavan, matip, Lovren, . it’s amazing what we’ve done in the last 2 seasons with an entire squad of ‘not good enough’. They also said the same about Suso and now want him back. Fickle.

Agree9 Disagree10

19 Jan 2018 13:21:51
Oh I'm certainly not holding my breath Ed, I know it won't be happening and he's almost certainly played his last game in a Liverpool shirt.

And Swishcleaner, I was merely sticking up for another of our players. I accept it's a losing battle but I will defend our players from unnecessary criticism such as that when I can. I wish fans could get behind our players for a bit before they get judged for making one or two slight errors or below par games.

Agree7 Disagree2

19 Jan 2018 14:56:01
Thought he wants to stay at Wolfsburg and sign on permanently, so not convinced he'll be back.

Agree3 Disagree1

19 Jan 2018 15:28:17
Very poor player he has the first touch of a giraffe.

Agree7 Disagree13

19 Jan 2018 17:02:21
Exactl swishcleaner, Origi in my opinion didn’t have loads of chances but for a young player at a top club he put in some great performances, average performances and poor performances but what else would you expect from a young player. We should bring him back and give him another season at least! YNWA.

Agree5 Disagree7

19 Jan 2018 18:34:22
I'm not fickle swish it's just my opinion!
I don't rate him! I don't want Suso back either mate!

Agree7 Disagree2

19 Jan 2018 19:30:43
Doubt he will come back. I just hope that if we let him go we put some kind of first option clause in. He may be our Kevin de bruyne and come back in a few years and haunt us.

Agree3 Disagree2

20 Jan 2018 01:26:18
lol, fair enough Jay dub. I don't want suso back either, he's moved on and so have we. I don't know if Origi is good enough either, but i've seen enough to know that he might be and i'd like for him to come back and show that.

Agree1 Disagree0

20 Jan 2018 08:13:03
I get what your saying swish but I don't think we need a player that "might be" good enough the team we have and are building now needs players that will come straight in to the team or even push the other 11 to play better cause their place is under threat! Origi doesn't threaten any of our front 3 in my opinion! Sorry for the rant 😂.

Agree1 Disagree1

20 Jan 2018 10:16:45
All good jay, I wouldn’t suggest we go out and buy an origi but he’s already ours so. I think he done more than sturridge, Ings and Solanke have in the last 2 years ( obviously he’s very young) but I’d rather he had a chance ahead of those 3. Seems to be improving where he is as well which is why they want to buy him. I don’t see anyone rushing to take
Sturridge and Ings off our hands.

Agree1 Disagree0

20 Jan 2018 11:02:29
I think Sturridge is finished love him but it's crocked now and on big wages! Ings hasn't had a run yet!
I get what your sayin tho about origi being ours and I do like him and he is only young but I'd rather see him develop and get game time then linger in our team and waste away and hopefully one day he does come back and makes me eat my words 😂.

Agree3 Disagree0

20 Jan 2018 14:34:15
All I can say is that I blame Ed002 for Origi's misfortune at Liverpool! Ed002 cast a spell on him and said he'd never be world class! Now look!
Can you even defend that, Ed?

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Jan 2018 06:44:22
Origi is another I'd say is very good potentially but you'd ask the question is he title winning good and would he be willing to spend most of the season on the bench as a squad player? Personally i'd have thought answer is no to both but more so the second.

Agree2 Disagree0

19 Jan 2018 08:12:50
Source close to Newcastle United suggesting LFC are sniffing around Lascelles. Not sure about this one myself.

We were interested in taking him from Forest. I don't think we still are though.

19 Jan 2018 18:23:38
He’s the best English centre back out there in my honest opinion.

{Ed025's Note - john stones for me mate..

20 Jan 2018 05:39:27
Stone? The guy who was brusshed aside by a fringe player for the brazilian team? let's hope england dobt come across brazil then aye!? Actually I don't care! Seripusly tho, Stones is good and lots of time to grow. Lascellas I wouldn't mind at all. Great leader that guy.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - stones is not quite the finished article just yet faith, but he does have quality unlike the rest of englands CB,s who are agricultural to say the least mate..

19 Jan 2018 00:07:36
Hey ed002, rumours seem all over the place right now with a new player linked every day.

Do you have any further thoughts on the early window podcast after the coutinho sale. Any names where Liverpool might be showing January interest?

Please note I'm not one of those idiots who think a transfer happens easyily. Somewhat understand the complexities. Just looking for where there's serious interest at the moment.

Believable0 Unbelievable1

{Ed002's Note - It is near impossible for me to try and predict the timings of transfers. Summer is a far more probable time for transfer as clubs rarely plan to sell in January and picking up replacements is never easy. Liverpool have the CB they wanted and have continued to look but they won't, I hope, make a knee jerk signing. Since the Sharkopod they have looked at others as has been discussed.}
