Hi ed,
Is there any bid or approach from Liverpool for ox.
Will arsenal sell.
Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - As far as I know LFC enquired after his availability. Arsenal are trying to avoid selling him.}
20 Aug 2017 21:00:14
Do you see us actively trying to sign him over the next week or so?
Agree5

{Ed002's Note - Klopp likes him, so perhaps.}
20 Aug 2017 21:14:52
Hopefully Chelsea will buy him, there's absolutely no logic in us signing another utility player.

Does he have an Arsenal contract offer on the table, Ed002?

{Ed002's Note - He has not had an acceptable contract offer made just yet.}
20 Aug 2017 21:23:55
Except we are lacking in that department at the moment.

20 Aug 2017 22:04:13
JaYox, what department are we lacking in that he plays? We're well stocked for wingers, he's not a number 10, he's not a centre midfielder and he's not a full back,
Agree11

Obviously don't know what's gone on behind the scenes but don't really understand the lack of approach or leaving an approach to this late in the window when it's a player that klopp has seemingly wanted all window. Surely would have made more sense to put a bid on the table and open a dialog before the season started.

I'm pretty sure we only have 3 senior wingers? Mane Salah and Kent? Yes Woodburn can play there but he's seen more as a CM, Coutinho can play there but who's knows what's happening there. Firmino, Sturridge and Origi can play there but all are ineffective so by signing Ox we get a player who's versatile and experienced so for me I'd like us to sign him.
Agree18

21 Aug 2017 06:38:28
He would replace Ryan Kent.
Agree2
Disagree19
{Ed001's Note - no he would not.}
21 Aug 2017 07:06:00
I don't get this idea that he's versatile? He's an ordinary winger, he's awful in central midfield, he can't play as a number 10 and he's ok as a wing back (which given the fact we don't play with 3 centre backs is a moot point) . Given our shortcomings in centre of midfield, central defence and Pipco's imminent departure, it's a signing that makes zero sense as it's not a priority.
Agree11
Disagree14
21 Aug 2017 08:47:28
Even then, if he doesn't go, we're left with a player that simply doesn't want to play for us any more, Klopp has alluded to the fact he isn't injured and is refusing to play.

I don't see how sighning a young english versitile player with a work ethic like his could be a bad thing. and he's talented. We could end up playing 60 games this season.

Decimus totally agree. He's also experienced in the CL so could be useful there too.

21 Aug 2017 14:27:46
How is he versatile? He is woeful in centre midfield and he is a very very ordinary winger?

He's decent
He's fast
He's strong
He will only get better
He looked decent the other day

Ox will not improve the first team and what is grujic, chopped liver? Rather have him coming off the bench in the midfield than the ox. People also have short memories, the ox is very injury prone, we already have two in the squad, would not seem logical to add another.

He's decent - no
He's fast - yes, but doesn't have the brains to make it count.
He's strong - to degree, but he's also injury prone.
He will only get better - he hasn't got
He looked decent the other day - but also looked hopeless playing in a central position. His goal scoring ratio is really poor.

And if doesn't work out in a couple of years we can use him as bait for the inevitable bid on a saints player.

I wouldn't sign the ox, wouldn't improve us on the wings as for CM, we are packed with them.
Agree0
Disagree2
22 Aug 2017 00:38:24
We still lack quality in CM, yes when Lallana is back we get a good player back and when window shuts Coutinho will have to start playing etc for World Cup. Still think another CM is needed, depth was our downfall last season. For me CM (Keita or Goretzka), VVD for CB and Ox for wing.

Ed's,
Is there any truth in Kent going out on loan? I've seen that it is to RB Leipzig, could this be a ploy to sign you know who?
I for one don't want him to go on loan I think with a full season at Liverpool he could potentially be quality long term winger at Liverpool.
Thanks.
Believable4
Unbelievable1
{Ed002's Note - I think a loan is likely but I am not aware of any proposal involving a plot to use him to persuade Leipzig to sell Keita. Staying at Liverpool will see first team opportunities few and far between.}
20 Aug 2017 20:51:13
Kent is going over to.

20 Aug 2017 20:52:31
If RB Leipzig sell Oliver Burke to Palace as rumours suggest. then the Ryan Kent to Leipzig on loan rumours, might have some legs.
You never know.

Oh so they’ll sell Burke but not Keita? Faekers! XD.

Do the club see any future for Kent I really like the lad and believe he could be better than what sterling was or is.
Agree3

{Ed001's Note - yes, he has given himself a chance of a future with his performances.}
21 Aug 2017 15:16:19
Shame, he should be getting 20-30 minutes most games and be 100% ready when Salah or Mane need to rest as a like for like replacement. He might not have the ability just yet but he has nothing more to learn on loan.

Edds,
With Draxler becoming available, do you think Liverpool would make an offer? I'd be happy with couts going and him coming in.
Believable3
Unbelievable1
{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of Draxler being available at this time - he is not one of the players that PSG are looking to move on and right now all I am aware of is his agent offering him to a couple of sides without the permission of PSG who don't want to sell. However, if he were to become available he would have to be a consideration as a replacement for Coutinho, although Liverpool has already enquired after another as you know. Arsenal were put off by his cost in January but given their position with Sanchez may look again if PSG make him available.}
20 Aug 2017 16:02:25
Sorry missed something, who have we enquired about that we know of as a Phil replacement?

Haha thanx he going too Barcelona though, eds do u think keita might b doing a coutinho an vvd refusing to play hopefully put a request in sheer wishful thinkin on my behalf.

20 Aug 2017 17:35:49
You'd think we'd have done our homework on Seri as he says himself he struggles to train or play in cold weather because of the pain he suffers. Can't imagine him enjoying Burnley or Stoke on a cold November evening.

20 Aug 2017 17:37:54
Ed002 I've just been to the builders merchant, their asking if you would like red brick or sandstone for the special wall in your garden? They seemed to think sandstone would be softer on your head, but I'm sure you don't want to remember anything about this transfer window.

don’t know why people keep bringing Howedes up, he is 29/ 30 and getting slower and slower. He would have no chance in hell with our high line.
