ed02, like your honesty, even if it isn't always what we want to hear/ read
a questions if I may, haven' seen it so if I missed it, just reply rtfp. you think Mane will go next summer? why and where do you think he will go?
{Ed002's Note - There was interest in Sadio Mane this summer from Inter Milan and he is a consideration for Real Madrid going forward - but they have another player or two in mind more immediately. Don't be surprised to see interest from Barcelona. As to whether or not he will move, Liverpool will certainly want to hold on to him but he, like others, will be attracted by the chance to challenge at the highest-level and will want to consider his options - so I think there is perhaps a chance he will go.}

thanks for the swift reply.
{Ed002's Note - You are welcome.}

I think we need to accept that the vast majority of players want to play at the very highest level and if they are good enough then there will be interest in them from the very best teams.
To avoid such things happening we need to be challenging for honours every year, domestic and european.
It is very rare that the best players will want to leave the best clubs and will generally only happen when there are other situations going on in the background. Costa leaving Chelsea and Neymar leaving Barcelona being two examples.
To get the best players and keep the best players you need to be towards the very top of the pyramid, at the moment we aren't. Hopefully that can change.

RedDawn is 100% right. The way to combat our best players wanting to play at the top is to be legitimate challengers for the top and to give them in Liverpool what they believe they can get elsewhere i. e. a full trophy cabinet.

And big wages. sadly.
5.) 26 Sep 2017 15:22:57
Brilliant so a chance Mane could go to Barcelona but I suppose they want to play at the top. I just hope that we don't turn into a feeder club.

Big salaries will often do the trick.
Prime example is De Gea and Rooney at United.
When Rooney was playing well in a not so great United side, City came sniffing around and they offered him. A new contract reported at £300k per week.
De Gea is one of the best keepers around IMO, United paying him huge wages.

To challenge year in year out, you need to compete with the bank rolled super rich ownership structures. Unfortunately buying success is the current method ruining football and FSG aren't in the same bracket. One needs to spend $300m in today's market just to keep pace. If we could get lucky with a few players all hitting career best form at the same time, few injuries and a bit of good fortune we could challenge for a season or two, until the squad is cherry picked by Barce or RM. Sad but true. I think trying to outspend is pointless, just keep bringing new blood focussing on quality not quantity as there are enough decent players out there but we need to find them first, then it's just 11 v 11 on match day.
PS. Still think Liverpool need a gun striker first and foremost. Goals cure everything!

Bigger problem for LFC is that the EPL is the hardest league to get champions league every year, the likes of Chelsea and Man U have missed out in recent times. The 2 Spanish clubs aren't going to any time soon. Ultimately if a player wants the guaranteed by default route rather than being part of the reason for getting UCL then do you want to spend large sums of money to keep them.

I for one am loving this season.
Yes we could play better, have better results then lately, but this team with this manager got us believing again.
remeber we always do it the hard way.
We have no given right to be first and am very proud of the team what they achieved up to now.
klopp said it best, could it be better, 100%, but we are leader of the premier league in february. Support the team, our team every single game and let's see where it gets us come may.
I fell in love with this club because I read so much positive stuff about the club, its history and especially its people and fans.
I understand there are many desperate to win the league and it could be frustrating some times. I want to win it too.
But instead of being obsessed with it, let's enjoy the ride.
we haven't been in such a good position for a long time and our team needs our support.
get behind our lads, even through a storm and hold your head up high because we are going to be a force again
we are challenging for the big trophies and long may it continue.

Spot on, Aremendn. Fully agree.
22 Aug 2018 22:07:54
thank you very much for the update, we are all hoping for a speedy recovery and all my prayers are to him and his family
SNWA.

some days ago, was watching a friendly of Zurich and ran into Degen, he was pretty sure that LFC will sign someone over the next couple of windows.
1.) 14 Jan 2018 13:01:11
I would put too much stock into that, Armendn. I don't how much inside info a guy who was a bit part player and has been gone from LFC 6 years ago, has and maybe just gave his opinion, which is not new as we all think we will. Just my take, man.
2.) 14 Jan 2018 13:08:06
Read the post all the way to the end brover.
3.) 14 Jan 2018 13:55:17
got you brover;)
only kidding mate, he barely kicked a ball for liverpool ond was totally againdt the move at that time.
22 Nov 2017 07:34:20
I think the collapse was because of saving energy for the chelsea game, hope lessons learned. we're still first of our group, look like progress, couldn't say that for many years. move on to next game.
1.) 22 Nov 2017 09:30:49
Well, that and completely buckling when they started to play football. Forgive the sarcasm, I think it was more we stopped playing cos we believed the game won and in fairness, 3 nil at half time. No one EVER comes back from that- but still, onwards to Chelsea like you say- hopefully a win sets us back on track.
26 Sep 2017 10:45:26
thanks for the swift reply.
{Ed002's Note - You are welcome.}
25 Jun 2017 10:17:08
i think we should pay whatever it takes and learn our lessons.
14 Jun 2017 21:51:57
heard a rumour that he went to bed,
not pretending to be itk, just passing a rumour.
04 May 2019 07:27:59
As I am from Switzerland would love it haha. I wouldn't advise him to come managing here though, the football has regressed a lot. but if he was to join a club, please FC Lucerne;)
05 Nov 2018 12:16:40
if you guys don't mind my input
I'm Kosovo born and live in Switzerland as Shaq used to.
It is still really bad and it doesn't seem to be solved soon. could go on and tell more but it's not LFC related and don't want to do any politics.
10 Jun 2018 22:25:10
I'm fine thx for asking, as long as you appreciate what you have it's all good.
Really enjoy your articles, don't mind if you put your opinion ond the reviews, would be interesting.
if I may ask, you can easily reply after your well deserved rest.
Why is there such a lack of quality fullbacks? don't get me wrong, i value our fullbacks, but i think in general, the standards have dropped.
{Ed001's Note - I think it's because fullbacks are no longer asked to defend, so they never really learn the art.}
10 Jun 2018 22:27:04
thank you for the swift reply benny, I'm sure I can borrow a friends account for some hours:)
10 Jun 2018 22:06:40
no need to apologize. hope benny can provide some infos.
me neither ed. how are you mate?
{Ed001's Note - good thanks mate. Just finishing off another article before I go to bed, though I am not intending to post it up until tomorrow. How are things with you?}
