07 Jun 2018 22:49:44
Hope these Fekir stories are true sounds promising!

07 Jun 2018 22:00:25
Michel Edwards turning doubters to believers. I strongly believe we will sign Allisson soon! What a Guy!

07 Jun 2018 22:48:34
Edwards appears to be a shrewd operator.

08 Jun 2018 02:24:01
Last summer Edwards was getting all sorts of abuse on here, glad to see he is proving people wrong.

08 Jun 2018 04:46:31
he was director at EA sports, he does know how to operate with transfers has played too much of fifa :D.

08 Jun 2018 05:41:01
For Edwards, it's all in the game.

08 Jun 2018 07:38:38
Akshit. Peter Moore was director of EA.

07 Jun 2018 21:44:33
Ed everyone is tweeting about Fekir being done mate. Not sure were they get it from but any truth please?

{Ed025's Note - its being reported that the deal is very close KR, not a 100% yet but it does look very promising mate..

07 Jun 2018 21:58:10
Undergoing a medical right now i hear .

07 Jun 2018 22:06:55
It will be a great signing IMO. Can't believe we are getting our act together so early.

07 Jun 2018 23:24:04
Until we find out that nobody at the club decided to speak to his club first lol.

07 Jun 2018 21:15:32
Looks like it's done, medical tomorrow.

07 Jun 2018 21:22:20
How many times have we signed him?
Was it 4 or 5? Lol.

07 Jun 2018 21:23:29
Just seen James Pearce replied with a hand shake emoji on someone asking him to confirm it. Let's hope they haven't jumped the gun!

07 Jun 2018 21:31:11
From past experience, I won't believe it until either the eds confirm it or the club confirms it.

07 Jun 2018 21:34:35
Initial 48 mil another 4 in addons.

07 Jun 2018 21:35:13
BBC are reporting it’s close to being done.

07 Jun 2018 21:35:30
Paul Joyce said the deal will be completed tomorrow! Its FekirFriday!

07 Jun 2018 21:38:32
How Many fekirs have we signed?

07 Jun 2018 21:08:35
Fee agreed with Lyon for Fekir according to L’equipe.

07 Jun 2018 21:18:26
Ironically wasn’t Fabinho confirmed by the club at 21:15 last week lol.

07 Jun 2018 18:32:47
Don't usually post stuff that I find out but reading on here I'll share. My understanding is talks are still ongoing with Lyon nothing is close. However Liverpool are pushing for it also macca was right butland was house shopping but klopp felt he needs more experience in the sticks. So has changed his mind and his trying for Alison if Alison falls through my understanding is Jasper cillisen is second choice ( I know experience thing) just what I've been told from someone within the club. Don't shoot me over it haha also may I add this person who has told me has always been spot on with info thanks.

07 Jun 2018 19:46:31
Cillessen is no better than Mignolet.

07 Jun 2018 19:47:12
Damn world cup. You know this would probably been sorted by now, only Lyon want to wait until after to hopefully Jack up the price.

Can't blame them really, smart business lol.

07 Jun 2018 20:31:39
Fekir will be done this weekend, LFC feel encouraged enough that they are sending a delegation to France to complete the deal before France fly off to the world cup.

07 Jun 2018 20:41:31
Thanks for the info mate.

07 Jun 2018 20:55:50
I remember the sending a delegation talk from certain journos when Lemar was supposedly a done deal in jan.

Hope it's true tho :) . Just two stories from either side hard to see a deal being close.

07 Jun 2018 21:43:43
Me Brooks-If you knew this why have you waited until other people have said it?

07 Jun 2018 22:24:46
Maybe bevause as with any transfer u have hiccups so didn't mention it on case people ridiculed him if it did not happen.

07 Jun 2018 23:24:03
Yes cobra people have said it however I was only told tonight by the individual. like iñsaid don't shoot the messenger I also believe we will land Allison aswethanks.

07 Jun 2018 15:07:08
So the sharqui rumours which I got lots off grief for are now looking a real possibility? Eh eds25.

{Ed025's Note - we shall see SLP, i dont think its a banker yet mate but he would be a decent option coming off the bench i feel mate..

07 Jun 2018 16:27:48
Would he want to be on the bench? and if he was would he sulk?

{Ed025's Note - im sure questions about playing time would be part of the negotiation process cobra mate..

07 Jun 2018 16:34:32
He would be a good buy and probably the best squad player we can get currently. Baffled as to why some fans don't want him.

{Ed025's Note - he is talented east but i think we all know he has personality flaws, i dont see him as a regular starter but a very good option from the bench mate..

07 Jun 2018 17:08:55
Apparently we really look into the players personality for on and off the pitch. If he comes it’s because Klopp team believe he will fit.
After being a div at top clubs like Bayern which sees you end up at Stoke, some would see coming back to the top table as a last chance and behave. He’s older and wiser if expect.

07 Jun 2018 17:16:22
He is decent back up for front 3 we could of done with him last month of season no disrespect too say lallana but he cudnt make an impact, also woodburn an Curtis jones too raw, we need a squad an he decent back up, can't understand the grumblings also it's decent money we could get him for, unless he is a wild child that causes mad trouble he's worth a punt.

07 Jun 2018 17:43:41
Shaqiri is clearly an incredibly talented footballer. Big concerns over his personality and willingness to put the team before himself. However, I'm fully behind Klopp if he thinks he can get him working for the team.
Does seem a strange one though as Klopp often highlights how important the personality of a signing is each time we sign a new player.

07 Jun 2018 17:58:37
Wasnt the Eve after him also Ed025?

{Ed025's Note - we were linked with him KR but nothing came of it mate..

07 Jun 2018 18:28:13
Sorry Jurgen McFugen. does the word "balotelli" mean anything to you? given how Klopp refused to even give the guy a chance, I can't see him paying any amount to give Shaqiri one.

07 Jun 2018 18:29:41
Hes awful.

07 Jun 2018 18:34:22
He might have issues personality wise, but my Missus says I have, but I personally don't think she could have a better option from the bench!
Good squad option, I think we are going to mount a serious challenge next season with Fab, Fekir, Keira already in the bag.

07 Jun 2018 19:11:26
Did Klopp sign Balotelli?

07 Jun 2018 19:47:21
Shaqiri and Zaha are about the same level but he would only cost a 3rd of what Zaha is supposedly valued.

06 Jun 2018 20:04:28
Good evening Ed001

Youve been quite today mate.

Do you no anything on the rumoured Shaqiri links mate please?

{Ed001's Note - no.}

07 Jun 2018 08:58:39
If the rumours on Shaqiri are true I think its a flip of a coin on being a good or bad signing.

Maybe he would flourish in a team of better quality and move forward. he has the potential and would be a good option for cover.

In the other hand he could be a fail and damage the dressing room.

07 Jun 2018 10:24:53
He was at Bayern Munich and didn't flourish because he thought he was too good to be sitting on the pine. I doubt he would want to do the same now that he is at an age that he should be in his prime. (And it rhymes)
I don't think he's for us either way.

07 Jun 2018 10:43:52
I’d rather put the money, wages, agents fees towards a top keeper or a CB.

I understand the club isn’t looking to buy a CB but for me, if VVD gets injured, we’re back to square one with Lovren Klavan and Matip. Our Achilles heel forca number of seasons.

Yes we have Fabhino to give more protection to the back 4 but set pieces and corners will still be a concern.

Just my opinion of course.

07 Jun 2018 11:29:43
We can't keep saying if so and so is out we only have this and that. That's the same for every teat. If city lost Kdb it would have an effect. Can't have team of top players sittin in reserve just in case of injuries.

07 Jun 2018 11:39:51
Are you for real? Tell me what top CB’s we have outside of VVD? Lovren, Matip and Klavan are all back up standard.

07 Jun 2018 11:40:37
Why do i remember Shaqiri turning us down the year before he went to Stoke? If we weren't good enough for him then why should we rescue his career.

07 Jun 2018 12:40:25
Whether the sherdan shaqiri rumour is true or not i feel for the price in todays market he's a potential bargain.
He has everything in his locker skill and ability wise, he just need guidance to stay focused and apply himself.
Pretty much what klopp has done with the OX and lots of people didn't want him signing.

07 Jun 2018 12:59:05
There is quotes on the echo website from Shaqiri where he said he opted for Liverpool in 2014 but Bayern blocked the move.

07 Jun 2018 13:25:22
He is s lazy player. won’t happen!

07 Jun 2018 13:47:10
I'd be very surprised if Klopp was interested in Shaqiri .
I really hope it's just rubbish paper talk.

07 Jun 2018 13:53:58
The negative reactions toward Shaqiri have been borderline insanity. Great talent at a great price. Huge upgrade over Ings in terms of fit and ability, and give us much needed depth that can score from the wings. Klopp has zero time for bad personalities, so if he's good to go with him then I'm excited. Some of you guys are being way too hard on a guy who occasionally struggled at Stoke. That club had a lot of dysfunction during his time there, and he seemed to mostly soldier on. Nobody is perfect. Give the guy a chance. He can be great for us.

07 Jun 2018 14:20:56
This is Ed001 opinion of Shaqiri which he gave in April this year. I think he manages to express his opinion of the player well enough not to leave any doubt where he stands on him.

{Ed001's Note - he won't come off the bench. You aren't reading what I said. He is an arrogant arse who thinks he is too good to sit on a bench, even though he is not that good. Certainly not even half the player he thinks he is. }

I would say his potential price of 12mil+ that is being rumored makes an easy decision not to buy him more difficult.

07 Jun 2018 14:47:10
Shaquiri seems to be cheap paper talk from lazy journos copying each others "exclusives" if he comes here I am moving to the Stoke page.

07 Jun 2018 15:01:38
It's not difficult. He's a slow overweight barge with a few tricks, big attitude and bigger ego. He's been a trouble causer at club and international level.
