Caicedo allegedly having second thoughts and is waiting for Chelseas’s counter offer. Will it be FSG’s fault if the player decides he’d rather join another club?

Be annoying to miss out on him after all this.


2.) 11 Aug 2023 11:57:07
If the kid doesn’t want to come then I would back out of the deal. Problem now is being held to ransom by every other club.


3.) 11 Aug 2023 12:02:54
What are your thought on the latest Ed? Is it all out of nothing, or is there something to it? Chelsea coming in with another bid maybe? or that they are intending to? Or something else?
Any info?

{Ed002's Note - I have explained on another post what I am told has happened..}


4.) 11 Aug 2023 12:03:05
If there’s even a whiff of that being true I’d bin him off.

There’s question marks over his character already.

I’m completely fine with not having a player who would rather be somewhere else.

{Ed002's Note - I don't know what "bin him off" means but is it some starnge act you can perform on him to convince him to move to Liverpool?}


5.) 11 Aug 2023 12:12:13
It is what it is - if he has reasons to not feel that it's a good move for him, then we'd have to move on, anyway.

It's impossible to really know what's actually happening. The reports I've read (via Sky Sports) seem pretty vague.

I'm sure we'll know within the next few hours - wasn't the medical scheduled for this afternoon? (Klopp said he didn't know in the Press Conference) .


6.) 11 Aug 2023 12:15:33
Fabrizio just confirmed MC has informed LFC that he only wants to join Chelsea.
FML.


7.) 11 Aug 2023 12:16:44
I'll head round and bin him off if it gets him over the line.


8.) 11 Aug 2023 12:38:57
The people that are obsessed with that Romano guy whoever he is, make me laugh hanging onto his every word.


9.) 11 Aug 2023 12:44:50
Mighty, I am not sure where he gets his info from but does seem to be connected, probably makes him a more trusted source than most. I only believe the Ed’s personally though.


10.) 11 Aug 2023 14:23:58
Fans are so fickle minded. One moment he’s the best guy and another he’s the worst.


11.) 11 Aug 2023 16:22:30
Embarrassing some of these posts.


12.) 11 Aug 2023 17:05:06
So excited but also so nervous about this. I really think it would be an amazing window if we can get this over the line. Obviously we need new faces at the back, but this is so good and will inevitably improve us by at least 20 points.

It seems fairly clear that the club would like to bring in Thiago at the expense of Wijnaldum if possible this summer. Do any of the Eds know of any potential buyers for wijnaldum or any clubs he has his sights set on?

Anonymous Woolback

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any efforts to sell Wijnaldum by Liverpool, nor anyone making an approach for him.}


1.) 08 Aug 2020 18:15:54
Fairly clear? Eh?
Why would the club be looking to renew Gini's contract if they're going to replace him days later?
What on earth brought you to that conclusion?
Please don't say Tw@tter.


2.) 08 Aug 2020 22:21:32
It seems to me that Thiago is only possible if Gini doesn’t sign a new contract and leaves. I’ve heard that he is interested in going back to Holland but how much truth is in that rumour I don’t know.


3.) 09 Aug 2020 02:31:49
I would be so surprised that Gini would be looking for a move back to Netherlands now. He is still in his prime and can contribute to one of the big clubs in Europe's major leagues for at least the next 3 seasons.

{Ed0666's Note - I said the same thing to Eds 001. Like you say He can make lots more money for the next two to three seasons anywhere in the world and then go home and still win titles galore at whichever Dutch team he chooses. I know it’s not about money sometimes but I’m adamant he won’t go back to holland just yet.


4.) 09 Aug 2020 08:30:51
Ed0666 maybe he thinks he has enough money and just wants to go home to be near his family. Am sure after this contract if he never played again he would have enough money to last him. He might just want him play for his boyhood club in his peak as kids that’s all ways the dream not how much money you can earn.

{Ed0666's Note - yeh I get what you’re saying but I’m not sure that’s the case. Footballers are on the whole mercenaries due to the short career spans. I’m not expecting him to sign this contract on the table, I hope I’m wrong but in this current broken economic climate we have to sell if he’s dragging his heels. We can’t afford to lose him on a Bosman I don’t care how much of a soldier he’s been for us. He a 30 million pound player at least and we can’t just give him away.


5.) 09 Aug 2020 09:32:14
So why won't he sign Ed0666?Where do you think he'll go if he does?

{Ed0666's Note - Barry I have no idea why he’s not signing maybe he’s holding out for more cash maybe he wants to try another avenue who knows? I truly hope he signs as he fully embedded in the Klopp philosophy and trying to embed another midfielder quickly is gonna be an issue. Where would he go? I seriously don’t know but at the price we’ll want with only a year left on his contract I’m sure he’ll have a load of admirers winking at him


6.) 14 Aug 2020 05:13:35
certainly possible Barry, just saying I'd be surprised if this is his position at this stage in his career. maybe C.V. is an influencer? who knows.
for me, I'd like to see him stay in red.


 

 

28 Jun 2020 12:33:15
Question for the Eds, seeing a lot of links to Traore which could be plausible, but obviously we have just backed out of signing Werner for around the same amount of money. One detail that astonished me was the amount of money that Werner is reportedly going to be earning at Chelsea, which is more than salah and van dijk and would have been inconceivable at LFC. Do you think that it was a purely transfer fee related issue, or was it more Werners demands both financially and in terms of game time that made the deal implausible?

Anonymous Woolback

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea what Chelsea will be paying Werner I am afraid. Liverpool have financial issues as has been explained repeatedly - even Peter Moore issued a statement to the fans. Liverpool did not try and negotiate the transfer with RBL.}


1.) 28 Jun 2020 20:56:27
Hi Ed. was it the fact that they had to pay upfront to activate the buy out clause whereas if they did buy traore for 70m they may be able to pay circa 17m for 4 yrs. which is more affordable?

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea what you mean. Liverpool illegally tapped the player up and they did not speak to his club. In addition to what I have said, the Chief Executive has explained the money situation at Liverpool.}


 

 

04 Dec 2017 12:25:09
Eds, i remember on the sharkopod that you said Barcelona would look to get a deal done before the end of november as one of the key instigators of the deal would no longer be involved and this would lead to them viewing other targets. In this situation, is it possible we could see coutinho stay a bit longer in a de gea to real madrid scenario? Or would he definately try and force a move to another team like psg, madrid, maybe even juventus to replace dybala?

Anonymous Woolback

{Ed002's Note - Yes, we are now beyond the end of November and they will be considering their options. It is possible that Coutinho could move in January or the Summer but be clear he wants out. Coutinho is not of interest to Juventus and he is not first choice for Real Madrid. PSG might retain and interest but it is Barcelona who want him and that is where the player wants to go.}


1.) 04 Dec 2017 19:56:00
Up to Barcelona to make us an acceptable offer. The ball is in their court. 🤝.


2.) 05 Dec 2017 03:05:38
Barca will once again resort to underhand tactics to get Coutinho cheap. We trust Henry to duke it out with them.


 

 

10 Apr 2017 20:29:48
Just read that coutinho rejected the requests of the coaches to stay at home, so he could make the bench for the game on saturday, then to come off the bench and score. This is the exact attitude and type of player we need here at liverpool, hats off to him.

Couts has to stay, build our team around him, need another Mane .


2.) 11 Apr 2017 00:53:45
What would you do with another Mane if you've built your team around Coutinho?


3.) 11 Apr 2017 02:02:09
Coutinho was always needee to stay. He didn't need to do anything like that to justify it.

Hes our boy. Show him the love and he will give you the heart.


4.) 11 Apr 2017 03:24:35
build another mane and mane running around firmino!? and then someone can get their dream of firmino in central midfield realised.! :p.


5.) 11 Apr 2017 03:52:08
probably the best £8.5m the club has ever spent.


6.) 11 Apr 2017 06:07:23
Sure the best 8.5 we ever spent was on ings, that free transfer.


7.) 11 Apr 2017 08:25:26
support coutinho zimbo, as Mane has done.


8.) 11 Apr 2017 15:26:17
Don't worry I'd happily take another Mane! Just not sure if we'll get someone of his level to join with no obvious starting spot. Think hopefully Coutinho, Firmino and Mane will be our starting lineup and wouldn't want to see that changed myself.


9.) 11 Apr 2017 15:41:46
kudos couts, however if and when he is not in form let's remember this instead of wanting him out.


10.) 11 Apr 2017 21:18:01
The problem with football these days is that the Doctors think they pick the team. Hats off to Coutinho for his positive attitude and nonsense to all that red zone, orange zone, green zone crap.


11.) 12 Apr 2017 01:28:00
He must be mad. If someone offered me the day off id take 2.

What are your thoughts on the Gravenberch signing Ed001? I have to say I am skeptical but always happy to be proved wrong. The manager seems to adore the player so I suppose we'll just have to trust him. If nothing else he can cover multiple positions so it's good that we're replacing the adaptability of Hendo and Milner.

Anonymous Woolback

{Ed001's Note - I am not a big fan and didn't see the need for another young midfielder right now, but you would expect him to improve working under Klopp. I think it says that the likes of Clark are not expected to make it though, or are at least seen as being a few years away from ready.}


1.) 02 Sep 2023 14:52:00
It seems as though Klopp will try to make him into a number 6…… may take some time…. But he had time on his side and he has good technical ability and good physique.


2.) 02 Sep 2023 16:27:39
I’ve seen very little of Gravenberch but what I have seen looks impressive. Also for him to get into Ajax’s first team at 16 years old and to play 11 times for Holland tells you there is undoubted quality there.

He looks to have very good spacial awareness which is imperative in the midfield, especially in the PL where you don’t get much time on the ball. Something I think Thiago and Trent both suffer with.

Let’s hope he kicks on and fulfils his potential in a red shirt.


3.) 02 Sep 2023 18:14:09
At this point and at 21, I consider Gravenberch as a young, promising prospect. He went to Bayern way too early as a 20 year old and we all know what that changing room is like at times.

Hopefully being in a much more sane changing room with a manager who actually wanted him (heard Nagelsmann didn't want him BUT the club signed him against his wishes) will help him improve cos his talent is undeniable, IMO.


4.) 02 Sep 2023 19:05:48
That is a good point about Bayern being quite a toxic place. If your face fits you’re ok. If not, then heaven help you. If Gravenberch fulfils the potential that lots of professionals connected to Ajax say he has then that will be a very astute purchase. It’s all up to him now, but I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do in our shirt.


5.) 02 Sep 2023 21:55:01
Indeed, VV. That place is toxic as heck. Look at what they did to Mane.


 

 

14 Aug 2023 00:39:22
Thank god that’s over. Cracking player but not someone I’d be comfortable breaking the transfer record for. If we’re going to do it i’d rather it was someone who actually wants to join us, with more than a years experience at the top level, and hopefully someone who isn’t a nightmare waiting to happen.

I’m glad that we made Chelsea egregiously overpay. I am convinced that the last few days have seen a lot of bluster from them without substance. Whatever financial voodoo they have committed to has surely left them hamstrung. They have found a way to make it work but at what cost?

We should try for Florentino or Tchouameni. We need someone of the highest quality on and off the ball. Unfortunately they don’t grow on trees.

Anonymous Woolback

1.) 14 Aug 2023 03:40:50
Exactly! I think we would not have bidded for MC if they had not up bid us on Lavia .


2.) 14 Aug 2023 03:57:52
100%, AW. I am very disappointed to miss out on Caicedo, however. We saw today that MacAllister and Szoboszlai have exceptional quality but need a top class DM to fully utilize it. Throw all of that Caicedo money at Real Madrid for Tchouameni, ignore the salary structure (he’s world class and plays for Real Madrid, ergo his salary is high), and we can immediately think about challenging for the league again. Heck, Real Madrid’s Mbappe fund now needs to be even higher given the news of his contract extension.


3.) 14 Aug 2023 07:49:10
Is tchouameni a dm though? i thought it was valverde who was dm for them?


4.) 14 Aug 2023 09:00:09
Valverde can play reasonably well anywhere across midfield but up until this season was typically used as the right-sided midfielder in a 4-3-3. Now with Ancelotti using a diamond in the absence of a top quality striker, Valverde will remain on the right of it. The one position he can’t play well is as a DM.

Oh no. A third bid rejected.

Best of luck Eds!

Now that the Lavia issue has drawn to a close I find myself asking a recurring question - what's not to like about Ibrahim Sangare? Can we not activate our third release clause of the summer?

4.) 07 Aug 2023 18:58:39
Most journos seem to be reiterating their belief that a compromise will be reached, so i don’t think it has drawn to a close.

Sangare is one of them where you have to assume the top clubs know something about him that we don’t, else someone would have moved for him by now.


5.) 07 Aug 2023 19:01:02
We don’t need a Dm. We can just play our right back or centre forward in midfield.

I can't leave the house until we sign a DM. People are starting to point and laugh.

04 Jul 2023 13:08:12
Reports indicating we have dropped our interest in Thuram, as we saw him as an option for a more advanced midfield role, which has since been filled by Szloboszai. Instead, we are refocusing our attention on Lavia.

Makes sense to me. Thuram looks a wonderful talent, but maybe not quite what we need. In the original incarnation of our 4-3-3, he would have been a perfect fit. Aside from his outstanding ability to dribble and carry the ball, I’m not sure he ticks enough boxes for us.

Lavia is younger, is proven in the Premier League and is better both in terms of passing and his defensive acumen. I believe he also will count as homegrown in the future, while not taking up a non-homegrown spot in the present. He is a much more obvious and natural replacement for the declining Fabinho. Our over reliance on Fabinho as our sole holding midfielder has cost us for too many years.

Reports also mentioning that Thiago will be allowed to leave. No surprises there.

Our wonderful start to the summer only appears to be getting better; I have a hunch that we’ll see three more players come through the door.

Anonymous Woolback

1.) 04 Jul 2023 14:54:47
AW, Im not sure if Lavia is PL proven after one season in the PL where he played in a relegated team. That of course, takes nothing away from his individual talent esp. since City would take him back should they need to if possible.

That said, I have only seen him play twice vs Chelsea and at Arsenal and he was immense and ate Thomas Partey's lunch at the Emirates, IMO. Very good young player BUT he needs to improve progressively should he take over from Fab. Let's see what happens with him should he sign.


2.) 04 Jul 2023 14:59:52
Sly are reporting that Thiago has turned down a "substantial" offer from Stevie G's new Saudi team. Looks like he could be off after all. Its interesting that they also point out that they've gone straight to the player, and not via Liverpool.


3.) 04 Jul 2023 15:09:54
Of course there is always a risk when you buy a 19 year old with one season of experience. However, is it not fair to say that he is less of a gamble than a player from the French league who almost never plays in the role we need him for?


4.) 04 Jul 2023 15:29:42
Heard arsenal want him too. think he'll go there myself.


5.) 04 Jul 2023 19:54:51
I would disagree AW. Naby Keita was that defensive midfielder who could tackle, dribble past players and move the ball up the field before passing it off to players in scoring positions. He had a mean shot on him too. This is what we saw at Leipzig. And that's why Klopp bought him also. None of this happened for us, to the extent Klopp and we had expected of course; but that's another story.

My point is that Thuram is the same exact type of player. So if Thuram was or is under consideration by Klopp, it shouldn't be surprising because he's bought a similar type player before.


6.) 04 Jul 2023 23:41:20
@Anonymous, there is a risk associated in, say, spending £10m on a 19 year old but you could make a case that it’s a lot bigger risk to spend £50m. It’s not only the risk of the lad kicking on but also the cost of missing out on a signing like Mac Allister. Not saying we shouldn’t try and sign the lad, just saying that someone somewhere in the club has to have a full view of the jigsaw and a good idea of how to make the pieces fit.


7.) 05 Jul 2023 07:02:20
# should have read ‘not kicking on’.


 

 

02 Jul 2023 14:46:52
Question for Ed001, if you’re about.

I know you’ve spoken highly about Lavia before, and I have no idea if you’ve seen anything of Thuram.

Nonetheless, which of them would you prefer and why?

Many thanks.

Anonymous Woolback

{Ed001's Note - I have seen very very little of Thuram, so I would have to go for Lavia on that basis.}


1.) 02 Jul 2023 15:08:14
What do you make of our transfer business so far Ed? Quite neat considering both player are not injury prone and they are replacing players who barely able to be selected.

{Ed001's Note - I am very happy with those two. It is a major improvement in the team.}


2.) 02 Jul 2023 15:08:53
Ed I know City have a buy back option in him which activates at the end of next season.

Do we know what their current thoughts are on him with regards to if he stays on his current trajectory and stays at saints.

Would it be a case of

They have no interest in bidding to get him back

They would be interested in activating it to bring him into the City squad

They would look to activate the lower fee to then sell him to suitors at a higher fee.

I know it’s all early as it’s a year in advance but just wondering what City’s thoughts are on him because if they see him as a player that can return and strengthen them then it’s an indicator that he would strengthen most teams.

{Ed001's Note - I don't know, but I would suggest that the signing of Kovacic as a stop-gap for their midfield suggests they might well be looking to buy a midfielder next summer.}


3.) 02 Jul 2023 15:59:56
What do you know about Szobo attitude wise Ed? don't want us repeating the Keita mistake. He do seems like a nice guy this Szobo lad. Looks like he's wearing no 8. Hoping he will turn out much better the the previous owner of the no 8 jersey.

{Ed001's Note - nothing like Keita don't worry. He is a clever lad by all accounts who works hard. Not a big party scene guy either. So nothing like Keita.}


4.) 02 Jul 2023 16:33:06
Not going to pretend i am an expert on Szoboszlai but he seems to tick every box you could think of! Couldn’t be happier with our business so far and i’m very excited to see what happens next.


5.) 02 Jul 2023 17:17:05
For me, Keita seems to be the only player under Klopp that was signed that the scouting team did not do a full review and due diligence on his character and attitude towards football in general. We went with MAne's recommendation in stead for the disaster we all know of over his 5 year yenure at the club. Hence, the "Jerks need not apply" mantra we use in our recruitement.

Lesson learned, me thinks and by some accounts I have read about Szobo, the guy is a hardworker and it is no surprise he is capt. of his national team at age 22.

{Ed001's Note - doesn't he have a Gerrard quote tattooed on his arm?}


6.) 02 Jul 2023 18:06:37
A Gerrard quote? What is it "errrrm"?


7.) 02 Jul 2023 18:23:50

Plz don’t mention that leech NK on here again absolute rat!


9.) 02 Jul 2023 19:31:03
Edà&, indeed that is true, I would later learn. That is prolly why on Thurs when the news of our interest started to filter out, he literally name dropped Klopp (along with Pep and Jose) that he would jump at the chance to work with as he thought either could improve him hence, Newcastle never had a shot at him.

Szobo wanted to play for us cos he was/ is a Liverpool fan and wanted to work with Klopp. This is where I think we have gone back to the way we scout and recruit players as in, players we need and the ones we think will improve and if a deal can be done, we will put the boat out to do it. This is what has happened, IMO. Loving every bit of it.

{Ed001's Note - which makes you wonder why we haven't thrown the kitchen sink at Gvardiol. The lad has spent years almost begging for us to sign him!}


10.) 02 Jul 2023 20:53:35
Ed01, I see you there, mate BUT don't you think that is cos we have way too much to do in other areas hence, the money simply isn't there this season? A guy like Gvardiol who I love at say 90m, is a signing we make when we are stacked near everywhere else and he is the final piece like VVD, Ali and Fab were at the time like Bellingham was, for ex., IMO.

I know he wants to play for us and if we bid the same as City reportedly have, I think he would pick us over them and would literally go on strike if RBL tried to sell him to City instead. I just think the dough to make this happen ain't there this season so my hope is that he stays at RBL this season so we can hopefully have a crack at him next summer. What do you thinK?

{Ed001's Note - yeah but I would sell a lot of the fringe players if it was me. So I would take the chance of pushing the boat out on him. Though there is always Hancko I suppose as a more reasonably priced alternative.}


11.) 02 Jul 2023 21:45:45
Ed01, what fringe players are those, respectfully? We ain't got assets like that to seel for decent money, IMO. Having said that, it could just be that we are looking at Hancko for now as a stop gap cos and then, we can bring in Gvardiol next summer, should he not be sold to City.

Now regarding this Hancko fella, what's he like? Where does he play and how well or badly do you rate him? Appreciate your time speaking with me, mate.

{Ed001's Note - we have a few fringe players now. Players like Phillips, Kelleher who are not going to play unless there are injuries.

As for Hancko, he is comfortable at left centre half and left back, ideal if we stick with the hybrid system. From what I have seen he looks comfortable in possession and technically strong.}


12.) 03 Jul 2023 12:09:45
Fair point on the fringe players tip. I guess the club had other ideas.

As has been explained countless times VVVV, our finances are in bits because of the ‘hand to mouth’ structure of them that was put under unbelievable pressure by the C.V.. Now that C.V. football is over, in time, i imagine the situation will return to a normal healthy level. It isn’t a conspiracy on the part of the owners to see Liverpool never invest in the squad again from now until the end of time. We still have a big squad and some players that could move on to create space. I wouldn’t be getting your knickers in a twist to this extent.

I find it very hard to feel sorry for someone who let down all his teammates and tens of millions of fans around the world, on two occassions in the clubs biggest game in a decade, all for a loss of concentration that you find it hard to believe a sunday league player would make. I also find it hard to be sympathetic given that after said mistake, instead of offering to give up his holiday to train all summer and reclaim some dignity (as many of our players have offered to do over the past few years despite not cocking up) he chose to go on holiday without shame and absolutely blitz his social media. And then on top of all that, when we sign a world class player in his position, which all things considered was warranted, he decides to complain about it in public to the press.

I’m not saying i have any particular distain for the guy, i wish him well, but he has left like a spoilt brat and i will not miss him anymore than i did Enrique, Johnson or Balotelli. Mignolet will not get a move he has probably been looking towards for a much longer period of time and still has handled it with more grace than Karius has.

Think it speaks for the measure of the man that he pushed so hard to go to Madrid, has been there 5 years and can’t even be arsed to learn the language, don’t know what he expected to be honest.

Difference being that Fekir has let it be known for a while he willleave, has told the club well in advance and will almost certainly leave with more dignity than any of the others, he won’t have to go on strike or fake injuries to move.

Jota runs his socks off every game and Minamino never looked comfortable with the physical or mental intensity required to play in a Klopp team.

Let’s not rewrite history for the sake of contrarianism.

Agree that sub appearances are never a good indicator of ability. If I had to make a snap assessment, I'd say he is better on the ball than I expected, but his intelligence off the ball needs a lot of improvement. There's definitely more to work with than I initially thought, however. I can at least see why Klopp took a shine to him.

Did you see what happened when we played Carvalho in midfield last season? It was like he wasn’t there. Him and Klopp had a falling out and the manager did not like his attitude. He needs to play in order to develop, Gravenberch is ready to play now. Whatever you think of him he is clearly far more useful to us than Carvalho ever would have been, and that’s before you begin talking about Carvalho’s attitude.

If you want to stick your head in the sand, then endless ‘mistakes’ can be written off as mere incompetency. If that is the case, how do you explain the referee being shown the still of Jones appearing to crunch a players leg when he walks to the monitor? That isn’t incompetency, that is the deliberate selection of a particular still image to make the offence look as bad as possible. They could have shown him the full clip in real time, but chose not to. That is not a lapse in judgement, that is a conscious choice.

It’s about time there was an open conversation about transparency and the checks and balances made on referees. How do we know that they aren’t being bribed, or committing betting offences? Is there a protocol in place? If so, I’ve never heard about it. Clubs across Europe are being investigated and fined for this sort of tampering, which if you’d told me a few years ago I would have written off as unthinkable. How do we know for sure it isn’t endemic within our own game?

He did my head in last night to be honest. One of his more frustrating performances.
