Can Ed002 shed some lights on fekir deal? If you felt that it will create hate then we understand it completely.

{Ed002's Note - This is the social media generation we are dealing with. It will get done when it is all concluded. If it is not all concluded it won't get done. I understand that Liverpool fans have constantly trolled the club's social media and that is really unacceptable - and I imagine Fekir's social media accounts will be taking a bashing now as well. My understanding last night was that the financial aspects were not finalised, and I said that lhere - I didn't keep it away from you all - that was how it was. I am not aware that anything has changed. It will continue to be work in progress. If Liverpool remain keen, then there is plenty of time to sort something out. If there is interest from elsewhere that matches the desires of the player and the club, then that is possible with plenty of the summer left. The trouble the Liverpool fans, seemingly uniquely, have is they believe the fat kid from Bolton and they get the Kleenex out and get their rocks off as soon as he says "done deal". The situation is very, very simple and no more or less than has been explained. There are no minute by minute updates to be had, although you can get those on Twitter or whatever.}

09 Jun 2018 20:16:21
Ed2 was correct once again!

09 Jun 2018 20:15:26
😂😂😂😂
****ing loved your reply ed002. You are absolutely correct.

09 Jun 2018 20:19:45
Thanks ed002 for again clarifying the situation. I personally think this is lyon just trying to get more money out of us.
And if we can't get it done we will move on.

{Ed002's Note - Aulas will do the best that he can for Lyon - and frankly there is nothing wrong with that. You can build relationships with him and he will do what he sees as fair. If you are an English side he will want some of those English shillings you have so many of. If you screw him around you get the Gallic shrug - he is in a controlling position, why should he give you the bargain. How would Liverpool react to a £68.6M offer for Salah from Real Madrid - "well he hobbles a bit and he keeps holding his shoulder, and he whimpers like a pre-pubescent schoolgirl a lot, so we need a cheap deal".}

09 Jun 2018 20:22:31
With you all the way there ed 02 us Liverpool fans get way too invested an carried away with media I swear I don't believe anything til they wearing the jersey.

{Ed002's Note - Jersey? Cow or potato?}

09 Jun 2018 20:25:57
Thank you Ed002, appreciate the info. We are all very fortunate to have you and the other Eds providing us with such information.

09 Jun 2018 20:29:55
You’re right Ed. Things will happen if and when they happen.

09 Jun 2018 20:30:41
There you are folks. Ed002 has given us the info. Forget Twitter, Facebook and Graham Kelly ( who everyone seems to bow down to ) .

09 Jun 2018 20:31:06
Thanks Ed002 as usual the voice of reason.

09 Jun 2018 20:32:46
Just out of curiosity ed02, do you not in fact find it strange that Lyon would be so public about this/ their business? Why feel the need to issue a statement? They never announced that they were negotiating with LFC, so is it necessary to communicate this "ending of talks" publicly?
Liverpool haven't said anything, as well they shouldn't.
Kinda weird that by Lyon.

{Ed002's Note - Aulas has always been keen to say things to the press, and pretty much anyone who will listen. Who would have thought that the American President would be using Twitter to blurt out nonsense? I haven't seen him for perhaps three years but I would think he would love Twitter."

09 Jun 2018 20:40:19
sensible, rational reply ed02. It seems as though both parties are close to an agreement. Why these fans need to go on social media and get abusive over a transfer deal is beyond me. I have never been on twitter, clearly I am missing nothing.
I will just relax with a nice cool beer and see what happens. Hardly a life or death situation.

Thanks for the update ED02.

09 Jun 2018 21:01:04
Has anything happened since your reply ED?

Kidding 😁.

09 Jun 2018 20:44:52
I'm with you there Ed. If I was in Aulas position I'd be holding out trying to get the most I could, any businessman would/ should, I'd hope we'd be the same, can't blame the man for that. If we want the player enough we'll pay what they want. If not, we move on and they keep their player, it's as simple as it gets imo.

{Ed002's Note - It woas never going to be easy - and this has always been the case with OL.}

09 Jun 2018 20:47:05
Hahahaha the Liverpool football top sorry, I more of a Irish potatoe kind of guy an more partial too Devonshire cream.

{Ed002's Note - Do me a favour, Google Dan Quail and potatoe please. There will I am sure be a video.}

09 Jun 2018 20:50:15
What a legend Ed002 is! I'm just so wowed by your style! Take a bow, boss! We're really lucky to have you tell us as it always is!

09 Jun 2018 20:51:29
Sorry ed002, didn't mean to word it like i was whinging about it. Any selling club would want the best deal, if we are willing to pay great. If not we move on.

09 Jun 2018 21:02:37
Thank you very much for all the information you’ve given ed2. Let’s hope it eases the flow of desperate posts you are receiving. Obviously hope it happens. Would be a wonderful time for the club to do the deal right instead of messing around another club.

09 Jun 2018 21:10:45
So many people on here loosing their minds over a player they have never seen play or even heard of until recently lol.

09 Jun 2018 20:49:50
Cheers for your thoughts ed. Spot on as usual mate. Makes it sound very open still its just Aulas stating its over sounds quite final to us. Pinch of salt then?

09 Jun 2018 21:28:53
Mother Fekir, atleast the boxing on to cheer me up! Could see this coming, seemed to taking a long time and kind of strange the noise from their predefined, hopefully we continue to pursue the player and up the offer a bit YNWA.

09 Jun 2018 22:00:10
Ed, you are sparkys Owner aren't you, he speaks just like you ;)

{Ed002's Note - I taught him English.}

09 Jun 2018 22:01:29
Sky news just reported that fekir deal is now off.

09 Jun 2018 22:02:04
Dan Quayle potato, I remember that Ed002. How did he ever make it in politics? How did he ever leave the house unaided?

09 Jun 2018 23:47:49
Could anyone please clarify who ed02 means when he refers to a fat guy from bolton?
Cheers.

{Ed002's Note - “The Firm” on Twitter who I am repeatedly told by Liverpool fans is the only source who is ever correct. #WonderDogSparky, a little sweetie, has been banned by him for not giving him the personal gratification that many do. Sparky will be recruiting supports for his #The Farm (Fat Kid From Bolton) vs #WonderDogSparky (Artist, Racing Driver, Diplomat, Psychedelic Warlord and Great Lover) campaign.}

10 Jun 2018 00:13:20
The firm is a joke and always has been. Not looked at it for a while and don't plan on doing so anytime soon. In the Eds I trust.

I kind of don't want to look at #WonderDogSparky anymore though either. The Mrs saw the picture of him sat behind that chair, she didn't care about poor old bugger sparky, she was more bothered about the chair and wants one like that! Please no nice furniture in the future pics sparky, I'll end up bankrupt.

10 Jun 2018 01:51:37
Ed002 I think Salah should be worth twice the money for holding his shoulder, the wobbling, the dribbling and nutmegs and for scoring 40+ goals. Tell that to RM will you?!?

Thank you for putting the Fekir hysteria to rest. for now.

{Ed002's Note - And the crying must get the sympathy vote as well.}

09 Jun 2018 22:56:57
Hi Eds! Will Liverpool wait till the world cup ends and keep trying for Fekir, or will they start looking for alternative options? Thanks in advance!

10 Jun 2018 05:26:35
Hi Eds! From my own opinion, i think Liverpool fans get overhyped of this deal mainly because the way how Fabinho deal works out and the news whereby Fekir has passed his medical. After reading your view on this potential deal, I would like to ask whether undergoing medical before reaching an agreement between the two clubs is a way of how a potential transfer will go through?

{Ed001's Note - every deal is different.}

10 Jun 2018 08:11:08
Regarding this potential Fekir deal- Fekir passed his medical before agreement was reached and Ed0002 said financial aspects were not finalised. Therefore, I would like to ask Fekir passed his medical beforehand foe the sake of the upcoming World Cup, or it is due to news on the web where he undergo the medical after an agreement in an initial fee, just that Liverpool try to negotiate for a lower fee in the end?

{Ed001's Note - because of the World Cup a lot of stuff was done in advance so that he could just concentrate on playing for his country.}

10 Jun 2018 08:40:22
If an agreement was reached during the World Cup period, can both the clubs announced the deal? Due to medical was passed and interviews (leaked) was done beforehand.

{Ed001's Note - of course, that was the whole point of getting everything ready. Now he can just leave it all in the hands of his agents. I wouldn't hold my breath though. It could be done in seconds, linger on for months or never happen at all. May as well just relax and forget about it and hope for a pleasant surprise later.}

10 Jun 2018 09:07:21
Big thanks ED001 for your answer.
This has helps me clear up rumors floating on the web regarding this deal:
1)Fekir failed his medical
2)Initial fee was agreed and Fekir passed his medical, talks broken down as Liverpool try to lower the fee due to past injury concern.

10 Jun 2018 09:45:27
Eds if the fekir deal can't be concluded who, with your knowledge, would you say we'd try for?

{Ed001's Note - I don't know.}

10 Jun 2018 10:32:00
Rush to get everything sorted before the WC has backfired.

From a purely business perspective, this is not the way to do 60 million pound deals, anyway. Due diligence are the key words.

If Aulas wants to be difficult, he will be difficult. The player is contracted to Lyon - they hold the cards.

Important now for the club to act professionally. We have had enough problems with previous transfer fiascos (Southampton and Fulham come to mind) .

And let's hope the LFC trolls on twitter don't now go on to discredit the club, the way they have done in the past in their behavior the owner and his wife.

10 Jun 2018 07:04:19
Ed002 people ask if your Male or female.
I ask are you really a talking labradoodle?

10 Jun 2018 04:48:06
Thanks Ed002. So all these deals are nonsense. Now I can have good and calm Sunday.

10 Jun 2018 11:38:19
Only been on twitter once found the darwin awards they are pretty good.

10 Jun 2018 19:05:05
aussieMARK: WDS is the talking Labradoodle, Ed002 is a gentleman rodeo clown.

09 Jun 2018 17:11:37
Evening Ed1, to break the tedium regarding the will he/ won't he Fekir saga I was wondering if there was anything new regarding the apparent pursuit of Shaqiri? Are we definitely interested? Thanks in advance buddy, hope you're having a good weekend.

{Ed001's Note - I don't know anything about it at all or of any interest.}

09 Jun 2018 17:18:34
Read it was just his agent drumming up interest and nothing more.

09 Jun 2018 17:46:41
Thanks for the reply Ed, and thanks Banjo.

{Ed001's Note - welcome.}

09 Jun 2018 19:16:40
im not sure, I think this one might have some legs. little legs granted.

09 Jun 2018 19:22:45
FEKIR deal off.

09 Jun 2018 22:18:24
Ed002 - and he whimpers like a pre-pubescent schoolgirl a lot. Wow. Showing your true colours there.

09 Jun 2018 09:56:35
So with the fekir deal seemingly slowing down a little bit for what ever reason, would lfc now have other members of staff trying to negotiate for other players? A keeper for example. Or would they just concentrate on trying to get fekir signed?

I only ask as for me conceding less goals should be the aim as opposed to adding more firepower be it a new cb or keeper.

So wasting so much time just so Lyon can play hard ball seems futile. They either want the money or the player, they can’t have both. So surely if we carry on with our other transfers it will happen eventually anyway right?

{Ed025's Note - there will be a list of alternatives ashy..

09 Jun 2018 14:27:36
The club is a publicly listed company, and strict stock market rules suggest they are not allowed to announce transfers until the window officially opens this weekend.

(daily mirror report)

09 Jun 2018 14:33:11
Publicly listed companies announce their reports/ earnings guidance and any major items outside of trading hours all the time so you can be assured this is nonsense.

09 Jun 2018 14:53:07
Sorry Ed’s I wasn’t meaning alternatives for fekir, I was wondering if we are actively trying to strengthen other positions or are off just throwing everything at getting fekir signed?
Do we have other members of staff working on other transfers or will that all come after fekir?

{Ed002's Note - It doesn't work like that I am afraid.}

09 Jun 2018 18:53:50
Gibbs, it is not nonsense. What Corkycat is saying is correct based on the guidelines of the French Stock Exchange as well as the date the TW opens in France which is today, I gather.

09 Jun 2018 07:37:26
Don't understand this fekir deal how can his medical be fine after a second opinion according to the echo but he does all the media stuff but now it's in doubt, please tell me it's just Lyon being a bit awkward.

{Ed025's Note - it is matt..

09 Jun 2018 08:32:00
I get that clubs try and hang on to their assets as long as possible but if players terms are agreed and medical is done and interviews are done etc etc why do they arse about afterwards? I’m assuming that it’s something in the way the money is being paid to Lyon and how it’s all structured etc that’s holding the deal up. Or are Lyon just bein tough negotiators as they want the most for their man?

09 Jun 2018 08:05:45
Thanks Ed25 starting to realise why I try and limit my time on twitter searching for lfc transfer speculation.

09 Jun 2018 08:22:29
Not as awkward as some of the ITKs will feel this morning after "news imminent" or "announcement at 9pm".
It's cringeworthy some of the attention seeking and ego massaging that goes on.
Have a good weekend Eds (all of you! ) and ignore the crap that's put your way, remember that empty vessels make most noise.

09 Jun 2018 08:49:54
Surely all financial negotiations are completed before allowing the player to take a medical?

09 Jun 2018 09:22:58
Until the club says something there’s no news on Fekir so no need to stress about it. So far Liverpool haven’t said anything and we are just feeding off journos menu - speculation!

09 Jun 2018 09:24:26
It is indeed Lyon that is holding up and being awkward, last night everything was in place to confirm, these things happen. do I feel awkward. no. I was passing genuine information on to my fellow reds.

09 Jun 2018 09:46:55
These things do indeed happen. As do people claiming to have the inside track on what's happening behind the club's closed doors.
It's a double edged sword, ITKs look like "the man with the knowledge" if it comes off, but a proper attention seeking divvy when it predictably doesn't.
Time will tell I suppose. At least you didn't resort to "I saw him at John Lennon airport"!

09 Jun 2018 11:23:00
Did you guys not read PutneyRed's post? - Michael Edward's car broke down. LOL.
