Ed2. Has Liverpool looked at Konstantinos Koulierakis the young centre back that plays for POAK in the Greek Super League?

The lad looks a real talent but I understand AC Milan are very much interested. Seeing if there is a possibility for us to make a deal happen.

Alonso1786

{Ed002's Note - No, he would not get a WP for the Premier League.}

Football manager? We should look at roony bardgjhi too! and that diouf kid from rennes for midfield!

@Liveburd031 Football manager? I have a life so don’t have time to be sitting in front of a PC playing football games.

Ed. Do we have any interest in Florentino Luis? Are Benfica even open to selling this summer given the right price or is he in the not for sale category?

Alonso1786

{Ed002's Note - Florentino (DM) Scouts continue to watch Benfica but they have no interest in selling Florentino Luis unless his buy out clause is met or nearly matched. Seen by Barcelona as a potential Busquets replacement, but, too expensive although they would look to include a player or two.Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool spoke with his agent last summer. Manchester City want to upgrade Kalvin Phillips and Florentino fits the bill. For Liverpool he would realistically be a Fabinho replacement but they are looking at others so can realistically be discounted. PSG were interested but have moved for Ugarte so they can be discounted. Napoli, Arsenal and Milan offer less likely options although with Tonali now departing Milan we may see an increase of interest in him but at nothing close to his buy out clause and they will want to include players. Wildcard would be Chelsea but they have a much preferred option. His sale would also be dependent on buying a replacement and the one they have in mind is edging toward a move elsewhere.}


1.) 29 Jul 2023 12:08:08
Cheers Ed2. Much appreciated ?.


2.) 29 Jul 2023 13:06:07
Isn’t his buy out clause about £100m. That’s going to put a lot of clubs off.


3.) 30 Jul 2023 12:22:25
If we are signing any player for 100m this season, it should be Gvardiol.

I know, Ed02. It's not going to happen.


 

 

15 May 2022 14:28:23
Ed2.

A lot has been said about Jude Bellingham and his next destination for the 2023/ 2024 season. However, I have seen a few outlets reporting that we are interested in his younger brother Jobe Bellingham. Can you shed any light on whether this is true or which clubs are looking at him?

Alonso1786

{Ed002's Note - He is a 16 year old kiddie - I would need to ask around.}


1.) 15 May 2022 22:26:57
No problem. Cheers Ed2.


2.) 16 May 2022 09:34:23
Not wishing to be cynical but clever move by the club if looking ahead to tempting big brother Bellingham over next year.


3.) 16 May 2022 10:52:52
like bowen but would only be an option if salah left.
liverpool have raided relegated teams before (robertson, wijnaldum, shaqiri) .
could raphinha be a target if leeds go down?


 

 

27 May 2021 18:59:28
Ed2. Respect your opinion on transfers. Daily and Sunday Express seem to think the club, or should I say Michael Edwards is scheduled to meet Bissouma's agent tomorrow. Can we chalk this down to the media selling a story knowing we have an interest in him or is there some truth to this?

Alonso1786

{Ed002's Note - I have explained before that three interested sides (there may be others) have spoken with Michael N'Cho about the player and two are serious options that will see if a deal can be reached. I don't know what his plans are for tomorrow.}


1.) 27 May 2021 21:07:25
Hey Alonso, Fabrizio confirmed today definite interest from Liverpool and Arsenal. Says that he's not first choice for Arsenal (looking at another style of midfielder) I suspect Buendia, Odegaard, Aouar etc.

Ed002 may I ask what sides are interested and the two serious options that Bissouma has? I didn't realise negotiations had moved so that concrete options were available. Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Why do I have to keep explaining that Liverpool and Arsenal are very interested. It is particularly tiresome.}


2.) 27 May 2021 22:19:22
Thanks for time Ed2, much appreciated.


3.) 28 May 2021 08:57:23
Apologies Ed002. Note taken - Liverpool and Arsenal like him!


 

 

10 May 2021 11:52:34
Morning Ed2. One for you if you're about. You are the man for all things transfer related and value your opinion. So I guess my question, or questions for you is regarding Saka. If Mane were to leave do you believe Arsenal's resolve would be tested if a "decent" offer came in from us, or is he simply off limits so to speak? Secondly do we or have we previously held any interest in the player? Lastly, in your opinion do you believe he would make a good replacement, if say Mane did in fact depart this summer?

Alonso1786

{Ed002's Note - If Mane departs then I would expect Jota to take his place and another versatile forward added. It won't be Saka who the club have shown no interest in and Arsenal won't want to sell. I could see Klopp looking to one of the players he has as favourites like Dembele, Traore of Sarr - but I think Liverpool could well look to Sancho as I have said before - but there are huge add on costs that would be a problem.}


1.) 10 May 2021 12:54:39
Thanks for the reply Ed2. That’s enough for me. If you say we have shown no interest at all and Arsenal as I thought wouldn’t be open to selling, then we can safely scratch him off completely. I would say If Klopp is going for the other names mentioned above, I’m hoping he goes for Sancho. He might not have his fans on here but transfer fee aside he has the higher ceiling. I know you mentioned before that Mane won’t command the transfer fee us fans would like what with C.V., plus the big clubs have other targets as their main priority. So, it appears it would take a sell of Mane and some fringe players to complete such a transfer. Either way it’s an interesting summer ahead with a few players needing to be moved on and few brought in. I just hope we don’t hang onto players and loan them out again with no plan or intentions of integrating them into the side.


2.) 10 May 2021 12:56:10
If Mane departs, I don't think we would get a massive amount for him in this current market. At the same time, I don't see us spending a large amount on any potential replacement with us having made significant losses this year.

Could we be looking at loaning players this summer Ed, possibly including options to buy, in order to delay the prospect of buying players until our finances are better?

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of Liverpool looking to any loans, but Danny Drinkwater will be available.}


3.) 10 May 2021 13:00:18
Ed02 unfortunately I think to get fans on their side fsg might try to accumulate debt and sign someone "Marquee" . I hope I'm wrong.


4.) 10 May 2021 14:27:15
ha Danny Drinkwater, might as well get nigel Reo-coker involved.


5.) 10 May 2021 16:44:15
If Klopp's choices are Sarr, Traore or Dembele to replace Mane, I'd rather keep Mane.


6.) 10 May 2021 17:29:16
Danny Drinkwater Ed002 love it mate😂.


7.) 10 May 2021 18:01:37
Are united still in the ring for sancho eds?

{Ed002's Note - Jadon Sancho (RW) Manchester United messed everybody around last year and he has again been offered elsewhere to those who had previously enquired, but whilst Real Madrid are not interested, Chelsea may be willing to work directly with his club to secure a transferrather than his agent. If Manchester United want him they are going to have to agree a deal before the summer. I would not be surprised to see interest from Liverpool but they have financial issues which could impact any offer.}

Ed1. For me, I love what Xabi Alonso is doing in Germany and been quite vocal about that. I didn't think the time would come as soon as this summer to think about it. So my question is. Do you see the club bringing in Alonso?

To Klopp. All I can say is thank you for the memories. You made me hold my head up high amongst any fans in the league. I remember crying with pride the night we won the League. You bought us every trophy possible. What I hope to see is the boys push on and see him off by winning the quadruple!

YNWA.

Alonso1786

{Ed001's Note - I just don't see any other candidate out there.}


1.) 26 Jan 2024 12:31:03
Best way to put is he’s a generational talent and character. Certainly no one who is not replaceable. its really tough recognising a replacement in all honesty, but if the club has known since November they must already be considering candidates or at least have a short list.

Would Xabi be in that list I really don’t know.


2.) 26 Jan 2024 12:32:39
Ed1. I hope you’re right. He is the obvious choice and hope the club are aware of him.

Just in complete shock about this news to be honest, and the only comfort would be Alonso taking over.


3.) 26 Jan 2024 12:33:18
Alonso IMO, the real question should be: Who else is out there that can come in esp. one who knows the club and it's supporters and the fabric of the club on a deeper level other than Alonso right now judging by the madness he is doing at Leverkusen right now?


4.) 26 Jan 2024 12:33:20
He's certainly the best candidate if not the only 1, just hope pep doesn't get the role.
True legend Jurgen. Above all players past and present. True legend.

Despite the atrocious and quite frankly inexcusable decisions I'm proud to be a red and proud of my team. It took a last minute own goal for Spurs to beat a 9 man team. We pick ourselves up and we go again and show why we can be title contenders. YNWA.

4.) 30 Sep 2023 22:47:29
If Harry Kane can file an appeal and have a goal that was credited to someone else credited to him, why can't Luis Diaz file an appeal to have a goal credited that was not credited? There's ample factual evidence that would back his claim.

Szoboszlai is only 22 years old. Just let that sink in.

Did he have a good game?


 

 

16 Aug 2023 12:54:21
For Ed1 and fellow fans.

Would you be happy with Cheick Doucouré for a reported £50-£60 million in addition to paying Andre Trindade's £34 million release clause to bring him in now?

I would be more than happy with whose two and a LCB. Been researching more on Andre and everyone in Brazil seem to think he is the best of his generation, which is a big claim. Whether they're right or not and he fulfils his potential is another matter.

Not sure which Liverpool outlet did an interview (YouTube) with someone in Brazil who is close to Andre and those around him. But he was echoing what a lot of people are saying about him in terms of his ability and potential. Interestingly he said Andre wants to come and if we went in for him this summer he would jump at the chance. We are his first choice apparently but with how things have gone so far - until the player is in a Liverpool top I will take that with a pinch of salt.

Alonso1786

{Ed001's Note - I would be happy with that, I like Doucoure. Not seen Andre play but I hear great things about him.}


1.) 16 Aug 2023 13:39:28
Yes, Doucoure can put himself about on the field which is what we need.
Another more defensive midfielder and centre half would be great but I don't know who that should be.


2.) 16 Aug 2023 13:41:53
It would be great if we can secure Doucoure.

I personally still can let got of the chance of getting Gravenberch for a reasonable fee (£25m or so if reports are to be believed) . This is a guy who looked a world beater at Ajax, but who's career has stalled at Bayern, but he's only 21. He's not unlike Pipco who didn't look all that at Milan, but was able to grow and flourish with us.

Andre looks great too, but I'd rather we do a deal now for January (when AFAIK his price will be a bit lower as Fluminese can keep him for the rest of their season) and give him half a season to adapt before Thiago leaves (or sell Thiago in Jan if there is an offer that suits him) .

Need to get a LCB done too.

I was hoping for Fofana as both Eds are fans and he is a fair bit cheaper than Doucoure, but I guess PL experience is crucial if we don't want another 'transitional season'.


3.) 16 Aug 2023 13:43:24
Ed1, Same here. Florentino and Andre would be even better but I like Doucouré.

Regarding a LCB. Do you know why we haven’t activated Inacio’s release clause? I could be wrong but if we pay the reported £39 million then we don’t have to negotiate with Sporting. Same way we activated Szoboszlai’s release clause, which meant RB had no say in the matter. Or am I missing something?

We need a LCB and there is one staring us in the face. Would be good to hear your take on it.


4.) 16 Aug 2023 13:46:10
I 100% agree Rigsby. Another defensive midfielder and centre half and we challenge on all fronts. Fingers crossed ?.


5.) 16 Aug 2023 13:49:19
yeah I'd be happy with that whilst a bit guttered for Bajcetic.


6.) 16 Aug 2023 13:54:03
Ed01 if you are interested, I just read a great article on the Liverpool city website (not sure I can post the link on here) about Doucoure and how he rose through the JMG academy (the one run by Jean Marc Gillou which produced, the Toure bros, Gervinho, Bissouma etc. ) in his native country Mali and it's director gave a full account of Doucoure and his attributes and qualities as a player.

He essentially said that Doucore's talent are not defensive alone. In fact, he says that he is very creative in possession and is always looking to start attacks after winning the ball and that is how RC Lens signed him before he then moved to Palace and is now hopefully, on the verge of joining us. If waht the academy director says about him is true then, we have a gem on our hands should we get him and by all accounts, he is super keen to play for us.

{Ed001's Note - he is a very good player, not sure why we didn't sign him rather than go for Caicedo to be honest.}


7.) 16 Aug 2023 14:00:32
@Zeddicus - Waiting until January for Andre is a good shout because his price will be lower. I’m seriously worried if we do that other teams can come in for him. Would rather pay the release clause and bring him in now.

@Faithinworks - Baj is a top talent and only 18 years old. Even if we sign two DM’s he will still get plenty of game time due to injuries, suspension, domestic cup matches and Europa.

{Ed002's Note - Why will the price be lower? It is not as simple as paying the release clause.}


8.) 16 Aug 2023 14:38:20
Alonso1786 like you've I've read good things about Andre Trindade but I think one of the issues is that his club will not sell him while they are still in their version of the Champions league so won't be available until their season finishes in Jan (I think) and if that is the case then Jorge needs to get that deal agreed now so we don't have any more issues then. Would like to think we'd get Doucouré plus another DMF but wouldn't be surprised of we played stefan bajcetic until the new year. Also we agree we definitely need a LCB. Here's hoping it gets done sooner rather than later.


9.) 16 Aug 2023 15:25:13
Sorry Ed002, it may be my misunderstanding on Andre. I thought you had said that his price will be higher now given the fact they are midway through their season, I probably read it somewhere else.

I am aware that his deal is complicated by an element of 3rd party ownership which would need resolving.

Alonso, I meant to say to agree a deal for him now to come in Jan - hopefully will suit the 2 clubs (albeit maybe not the 3rd party! ) and thereby make the deal easier to agree.

{Ed002's Note - The difficulties are that the transfer window in Brazil has closed, Fluminense are still in midseason and doing well, and they only own 80% of his rights. Sporting have suggested they might yet try and strike a deal. Liverpool are putting their efforts elsewhere.}


10.) 16 Aug 2023 15:37:47
Regarding Andre, let’s sort the immediate things such as the lad from CP, sign the lad from Sporting if possible, then organise Andre for Jan.

It’s the way I see the priority imo.
As Ed’s have stated it appears Andre has been on the radar for 2 years, so we should know all we need to.

Ed’s, maybe Dacoure was not above CM of now Chelsea, due to Afcon? Maybe.

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea have been talking to Crystal Palace about others - not Doucoure.}


11.) 16 Aug 2023 16:07:56
Thank you Ed002. From one of your earlier answers, does the €40m that Fluminese want only represent their 80% owenership?

Therefore Andre would cost that element to Fluminese plus whatever we have to pay for the remaining 20%?

{Ed002's Note - Of course - they can’t sell what they don’t own.}


12.) 16 Aug 2023 16:23:45
I nearly got a heart attack when i started your reply there ed02.chelsea have been talking with cp haha.


13.) 16 Aug 2023 17:00:59
I'd sooner have a whole Doucoure than four fifths of Andre.


14.) 16 Aug 2023 17:37:53
Depends if the 4/ 5 of Andre could be selected by the purchasing club?

We could do without his arms as he could just do like Dom and not use them to pull down opponents and therefore avoid red cards.

Also, his 'auld fella' we could leave behind as sex before games is meant to be detrimental to on field performance.

I still think we could get an effective DM from 4/ 5 of Andre.


15.) 16 Aug 2023 17:41:43
Kew17, I think that Ed02 said that Klopp tapped Inacio up and Sporting got peeved about it and would not do business with us regarding him or any one of their players till further notice. So you can scratch him off that list, sadly.

{Ed002's Note - No, I never said that. Klopp tapped up a different Sporting player, got caught and admitted stupidity.}


16.) 16 Aug 2023 18:19:57
Palace would probs only sell doucoure for 70m Alonso not 50-60.


17.) 16 Aug 2023 18:11:21
Was it ugarte?

{Ed002's Note - Yes.}


18.) 16 Aug 2023 18:29:09
Ed002 Liverpool are putting there efforts elsewhere I’m assuming Doucoure.


19.) 16 Aug 2023 18:48:15
To clarify, I meant Ignacio and Decoure if it’s viable, I may have got his (Ignacio) club wrong in my above statement, the belief is reading other posts that Ignacio has buy out clause of 40 mill, I assume that’s Euros?

Then go for Andre for Jan, discussions could take place after securing the above 2, that way LFC could ask Fluminese to resolve the 20% to organise the sale to us, providing that is the way we go.


20.) 16 Aug 2023 21:01:21
Ah Ed02, sorry for that. I always thought it was Inacio and not Ugarte. Apologies, man.

Xabi Alonso could end up anywhere. Us, Munich or staying at Bayer Leverkusen.

But to me what does he gain exactly by winning the league with Munich. And that’s me removing myself as Liverpool supporter from the equation. I would find it a bizarre career choice, whereas others might see it differently. Each to their own I guess ?‍♂️.

Not saying he is 100% coming but, if he wins the league I think that makes it easier to leave not harder. Secondly, he has openly said in multiple interviews which anyone can find on YouTube of his desire to manage Liverpool one day. Also that Liverpool is his second home and that it hold the fondest memories of him as player due to it being a family and not just a club. And as Mark08 has pointed out, he has said his family (sons) support Liverpool. Anything can happen in football but if we go for him it will be extremely difficult for him to turn us down.

Respected journalists are also reporting the same thing so appears to be true. Kelleher was expected to start Carabao Cup final next Saturday and also the FA Cup game against Southampton on 28th February. So if we can get through tomorrow and Wednesday game against Luton with wins we should be alright. That’s only if Allison is back fit before the end of the month because 10th March against City is HUGE. Just trying to add a positive spin on some bad news. Let’s wait to hear the extent of the injury.

Anything could happen but all the usual reliable sources (Fabrizio Romano, David Ornstien, Paul Joyce, Chris Bascombe are claiming Alonso has decided to stay at Bayer Leverkusen for another season.

It was reported for a while that Micheal Edwards preferred Rubin Amorim due to stats. And is not swayed by emotions. Plus Fabrizio has reported not long ago that we are not waiting around and will proceed with securing Amorim.

I’ll be honest I am equally excited with Amorim. Plays a 3-4-3 formation. He is tactically exceptional and is an excellent man manager. He is also used to working with his best players being signed each season and still manages to be successful. Another great thing about him is he trusts youth players.

Looks like April is going to be crucial on the managerial front.

@Ed25 - Bernardo Silva is WAY worse than Foden. Silva is a fantastic footballer but I cannot stand the guy. Singing on the bus. Not giving us the guard of honour. And many other examples of his despicable behaviour as a human being. It’s like he is obsessed with us, which is strange considering how successful City have been.

@Irish Rover - Jones is one of ours but Foden is… I’ll let you fill out the rest ?.
