Ed02, any truth in the Wataru Endo rumours? A name I've not heard mentioned up till now. Many thanks.
{Ed002's Note - I know nothing about it to be honest.}
1.) 16 Aug 2023 20:59:02
Hendo to endo what a mess.
2.) 16 Aug 2023 21:09:16
Oh well he’s on his way to Merseyside.
3.) 16 Aug 2023 21:53:18
Well I suppose the H was worth a few million bucks!
4.) 17 Aug 2023 08:15:29
Bet no one has seen him play? And writes him off before he’s even played
Can’t win at all.
17 Jul 2023 13:04:36
Cheick Doucoure the latest midfielder we're linked with. The list goes on.
{Ed002's Note - That would be a surprise.
Cheick Doucoure (CB) Has major language issues that need resolving in the coming months. Crystal Palace have told Monaco, who want him to replace Fofana, that he is not for sale.}
1.) 17 Jul 2023 14:02:26
there's a few people on here with 'language issues' as well. Isn't that right Ed. Glad to see its all calming down again and we can all just get along.
2.) 18 Jul 2023 21:00:46
Cheick Doucourés English language problems are well behind him. Roy Hosgeson said as much in an interview (Google it) and I’ve seen him conduct a perfectly coherent interview in English following a game towards the back end of last season.
03 Jul 2023 12:51:50
Reading that we may still be interested in Kone, not sure whether it's garbage or not.
Either way, as it stands, I'm as excited at what we've got in so far as I've been any summer since 1987. Maybe I'm forgetting other pre seasons and my memory's going.
1.) 03 Jul 2023 16:48:15
Beardsley, Barnes, Aldridge?
2.) 03 Jul 2023 18:00:48
Spot on SS, soon followed by Houghton. Our greatest ever side, in my opinion. Hope this one can emulate it.
3.) 03 Jul 2023 18:40:40
What about when Brendan Rodgers said all Liverpool fans will be VERY excited about the next signing
And it was Borini ?.
4.) 03 Jul 2023 19:03:42
Barnes is the main reason I’m a Liverpool supporter. In fact I’d go as far to say he’s one of the main reasons I like football, him and another wee guy called Diego. He was pretty good too.
5.) 03 Jul 2023 20:32:46
We also signed Mike Marsh that summer and sold John Wark and Paul Walsh. I remember the press saying Dalglish will be caught out for his lack of experience by trusting aldo, Barnes and Beardsley over Wark and Walsh. well, I guess it proves why journalists are about as good at footballing decisions as Boris Johnson is at saying no to a party invite.
6.) 03 Jul 2023 22:10:07
Diego? The Sabre Tooth in Ice Age?
7.) 03 Jul 2023 22:10:07
Diego? The Sabre Tooth in Ice Age?
30 Jun 2023 18:54:39
Release clause triggered, looks like 2nd signing in the bag. Hopefully Thuram next.
1.) 30 Jun 2023 19:46:28
Admittedly I haven’t seen Thuram play, but I would love the third midfielder to be Barella. All three provide a lot of energy in midfield.
{Ed025's Note - i think Thuram would be better than Sas jonesy..
2.) 30 Jun 2023 20:40:06
Agreed, and Thuram would fill the position of ball carrying/ dribbling midfielder that Klopp has desperately wanted and spend a fortune on but can't get it right. I know he fits the eds criteria of having played a lot as a youngster too.
3.) 30 Jun 2023 20:46:17
Most definitely Ed’s 25.
4.) 30 Jun 2023 21:00:05
?? Ed 25 only our age on that sas shout.
{Ed025's Note - i think your right john, i dont know about you mate but the Alpine man coming around a friday was the highlight of my week, cream soda was my fav..
5.) 30 Jun 2023 21:14:33
Sas ?? Nice one Ed ?.
{Ed025's Note - cheers..
6.) 30 Jun 2023 22:02:19
Me mate was the lemo man ( we still call him the lemo man) cream soda had to be green not this white stuff. Ice cream soda thems the days ed25.
{Ed025's Note - we are showing our age now john.. :)
7.) 01 Jul 2023 08:27:27
Cream soda is still my favourite!
Although I am prone to a glass of dandelion and burdock.
{Ed001's Note - omg I loved cream soda, not seen it for donkey's years! Made a great float, better than coke float. Though me ma always reckons Tizer was best for that but I can't say I have tried that .... or Tizer for that matter.}

Looks like we're changing to Adidas, season after next. I've always liked their kit.
1.) 23 Apr 2024 17:56:32
Just seen that. Will they go rhetro with "Crown Paints" settings?
2.) 23 Apr 2024 18:01:16
We were never really a Nike team in my opinion. Nike is more for flashy, flair sides like Barca, PSG and Brazil.
{Ed025's Note - and Everton.. :)
3.) 23 Apr 2024 18:15:00
Ed025 - and the sporting chicken for Everton
Was that the Hafnia days?
{Ed025's Note - i used to love my Hafnia shirt Paisley, and we could play football then mate..
4.) 23 Apr 2024 18:33:44
With Everton’s money problems Ed025, they will be getting their kit from the same place the pub teams get theirs. Probably be sponsored by the local building contractor as well. ?.
{Ed025's Note - we might be going to Barnado,s for our kit the way things are going Bobby, pub teams could sue us for defamation if we use theirs mate.. :)
5.) 23 Apr 2024 18:36:19
I thought we weren't going with them ever again after it ended badly/ didn't go well with them last time around. I may have a bad memory of course.
6.) 23 Apr 2024 18:48:44
Madmax at the end of the day, money talks regardless of how things panne out in the past.
7.) 23 Apr 2024 19:33:50
We’ve been sh*te since we went Nike.
8.) 23 Apr 2024 20:26:13
I'd love us to have the trefoil on the kit. It's the only adidas logo for me.
9.) 23 Apr 2024 22:39:15
Good news. Thankfully not reebok. Those kits were awful.
10.) 23 Apr 2024 23:55:11
Hope so the Nike kits are atrocious.
28 Mar 2024 12:44:08
RIP Larry Lloyd. YNWA.
1.) 28 Mar 2024 22:16:55
Underrated in his time with us.
Sincere condolences to family and friends.
16 Aug 2023 20:06:58
Amrabat back on, according to Sly.
1.) 16 Aug 2023 20:16:11
Ffs. so we are going to try a hijack from united now are we.
2.) 16 Aug 2023 20:40:41
It’s all rather underwhelming, as much as we need players in.
3.) 16 Aug 2023 21:07:21
Amrabat wants Utd so we have moved on the some Japanese guy shocked if that’s the best we can do only last week we bid 111m for Caicedo now we are bidding 1m on a 30 year.
11 Aug 2023 18:27:48
I'm struggling to remember when the buying club has ever admitted to the media that an agreement has been reached with a player, only for the deal to not go through. Posters may remind me that this has happened many times before, but I can't recall.
Ed01 dampened our spirits, first thing this morning, regards to the player's personality. From what I've read the issues lie with the people he surrounds himself with. That said, we would've known all this before we got involved in negotiation. Lessons learnt, we move on.
{Ed025's Note - very similar to Mane in that respect (or lack of) Rome, and he was not too shabby mate, but if i was Klopp i would move on, you really only want players who are desperate to be at the club imo..
1.) 11 Aug 2023 18:49:10
I think we would have done well with him. but that doesn't mean it wouldn't have had any problems. say 2-3 years down the line madrid do come for him he will leave for sure. if not he would do same rubbish as Coutinho did. i for one don't want to be part of that anymore. it hurt a lot. maybe could have been handled better. we just made fools of ourselves. but we just need to find someone else and move on. we moved on from Bellingham (i suppose atleast few have) . MC is nothing in front of that! atleast get lavia done asap. don't give others opportunity to spoil that. fair play to chelsea. they are signing someone who really wants them. that's always a good sign. but lavia has also wanted us for sometime. would rather not loose him now. and maybe sign someone like kimmich/ valverde. i guess only that will heal the wound fastest. otherwise atleast we made him unable for the sunday?????.
2.) 11 Aug 2023 18:39:46
Fully agreed Ed025. But it has to be said that making an EPL record for a player and yet being unable to buy him, must feel like the worst sucker punch in the gut, to Messrs. Schmadtke and Klopp.
I hope one day, the insider's story on how things happened here, comes out.
{Ed025's Note - better off without him mate..
3.) 11 Aug 2023 18:43:47
I agree with that Ed, if he doesn’t have the desire to be here then let’s find a player willing to give his heart and soul for the club. Am i disappointed? Yes, he’s a good player, but we want players to push the train not jump on it when it’s already moving (isn’t that what Klopp said? )
{Ed025's Note - desire ahead of skill every day for me hopeful, i can forgive players who do not have the technical ability to be worldie if they give their all for the club and would go through a brick wall for the shirt, its so important mate..
4.) 11 Aug 2023 18:55:26
Agree with that totally Ed025. Hope you're in fine fettle, mate.
{Ed025's Note - you may need to ask me tomorrow after the Everton v Fulham game Rome, no seriously im good mate and hope you and yours are too mate..
5.) 11 Aug 2023 21:14:30
If a player doesn’t want to play for you then, it’s better you move on cos he will jump ship the first chance he gets.
{Ed025's Note - spot on Oli..
08 Aug 2023 19:45:03
Lavia can't even make the bench for tonight's game. If he's not good enough for them, he's not good enough for us!
{Ed025's Note - it could be that offers are being considered Rome, and they may not want injury to scupper the deal...just guessing of course mate..
1.) 08 Aug 2023 20:03:11
Lavia is a poor man's Phil Stamp!
2.) 08 Aug 2023 20:04:36
Do you think they’d turn down £40M+ if they didn’t think he was good enough for their first team?
3.) 08 Aug 2023 20:05:19
Evening Ed025. I was being sarky, mate. Hope you're well my friend.
{Ed025's Note - im good thanks Rome, just not good enough to spot sarcasm when i see it mate :), hope your well my old mate..
4.) 08 Aug 2023 20:29:58
I'm pretty sure that Lavia will be signed.
It feels a slight worry that we're all so anxious he does sign.
I don't know too much about him tbh, but there seems to be a feeling that he has to come in and be world class straight away?
He's a 19 years old kid, not experienced, and joining what will be a brand new midfield.
It's a big ask.
Personally I'm rowing in my hopes for this season, top four would be grand though.
5.) 08 Aug 2023 20:48:44
I’ve been sharing for ages to anyone prepared to listen. Lavia will be leaving Saints this window.
6.) 08 Aug 2023 21:32:19
Of course he will @1jj.
I’m not going to do the ‘not good enough to get in a Championship gem’ thing again because it got one or two people agitated a few days back.
What I will say though is that I think the value placed on him by Southampton is for what he might become rather than for what he is now. City have a £40m buyback option next summer. So if he has a good season Southampton lose him for £40m (when he might be worth quite a bit more or a player they won’t be able to sell for nearly as much if he has a bad season and does turn the potential into reality) . The £50m means they get £40m for a 19 year old with limited PL experience (in a poor side) plus the 10% sell on fee for City before the buy back becomes active.
I assume that Liverpool are fully aware and I’m surprised that they are trying to charm Southampton into paying less - I’ve obviously missed something.
7.) 09 Aug 2023 00:57:34
Stamp was first class, Thunderbird.
29 Mar 2024 16:56:50
Klopp's already said he would have no input into our next manager.
16 Mar 2024 16:10:42
sgynwa, as I understand it, we have reached our optimum capacity, without building a train station, in the local area and improving the infrastructure. Anyone who goes to games knows what a nightmare it is to get away after a match, so to add further capacity would just add to the problem, as things stands. Like most grounds in the country, they were built in an era when there were no cars.
16 Feb 2024 17:42:23
Agree there, Matthews. Especially with their free kick bombardment.
14 Feb 2024 14:55:05
Hi Ed02, I've tried searching, who are the club's remaining preferred options, if you wouldn't mind, please?
{Ed002's Note - The preferred choices are not interested
12 Feb 2024 22:30:20
Leek, based on your logic, who would you suggest? Sam Allardyce?
26 Apr 2024 19:33:13
Agree with you there, scouse john.
{Ed025's Note - thats a great post by John by the way..
25 Apr 2024 10:59:10
It's a combination of everything you say, Salah. Not just Klopp, for sure, and definitely not just Pep Ljinders, which I'm getting sick of hearing about. Not one player escapes criticism, but some are deserving of it more than others. The suddenness of our decline is what I find most surprising. A month ago we were on for 4 trophies, and now it's all gone down the pan.
It's a shame that our greatest manager in the last 30 years is going out this way, but we can only look forward to next season and the start of, hopefully, a promising new era.
25 Apr 2024 08:49:13
Agree with you there, Seano. I was there last night and Salah and Szob were getting pelters. Szob in particular doesn't have enough brownie points to prance about like a show pony, and that was made clear by people around me. At the moment he doesn't offer any more than a poor Henderson, and he needs to step up next season under our new manager. And I know that can be levelled at many more players. In fact, apart from Alisson, I don't know any player who escapes criticism.
22 Apr 2024 18:30:14
Gakpo's 25 in a few weeks; I don't consider that young. The jury's still out for me, along with Nunez.
20 Apr 2024 10:17:34
I'm not convinced about him. Hope he proves me wrong.
