I guess with Jurgen now leaving, Leroy sane preferred choice to replace Salah goes with it?

Speaking on behalf of pool supporters, we love klopp to death, he is like a second father to Liverpool supporters. The connection he has built within the team, the city, the supporters, with rival fans and clubs admiring his work from a far shows his admirable work his achieved at Liverpool. Sad to see him go, but we move on.

However, I always thought there were better wingers and younger, with a higher projection than Leroy Sane, (Klopps preferred choice. )
Who would your choice be to replace Salah and who do you think we will go for now?

Cheers
Tommy T.

{Ed002's Note - I am not so sure you can expect all of the identified potential recruits to disappear and a new lot to arrive. It is not all Klopp's choice although Sane clearly is, but you would need to know the views of Barry Hunter and Dave Fallows.

For me and from talking with others who know far more about players, Marcus Edwards would be an excellent choice or take a real outsider like Sebastian Szymanski who is having a great season but is being used as an AM player or Matias Soule - both have a lot of potential. Michael Olise would be another very good option but, like Edwards, I expect him to move elssewhere. }


1.) 29 Jan 2024 12:19:45
Marcus Edwards I really like, would love to see him with us. Finally starting to show why he was viewed as a rising star! Plus appreciate his approach to move abroad to challenge himself.

Would also help with our ongoing HG issue, assume the elsewhere is Spurs!


2.) 29 Jan 2024 14:42:30
There won't be a HG issue next season as long as no major changes don't happen as Trent, Bradley, Quansah, Gomez, Beck, Morton, Jones, Elliot, Kelleher all will be 21 or over and qualify as HG.


3.) 29 Jan 2024 15:42:44
The real AG, you're right that there won't be an issue as we have so many players in our first team squad who are still U21. We haven't filled our allocation of 8 HG players, and won't next year either without incomings, but I'd rather continue to see what gems are being produced by our academy.

Currently, List B includes all U21 players and the qualifying criteria is being born after 1 Jan 02 (for the 23-24 EPL season), so it will be 1 Jan 03 for next season.

Our current HG players are Kelleher, Gomez, TAA and Curtis Jones.

Elliot, Bradley, Quansah, Beck, Ramsay, Doak, Bajcetic, McConnell, Clark etc are all U21 this season, will be U21 next season and some (Doak, Bajcetic etc) will continue to be U21 in the 25-26 season too.

Hope you're well!

With Fabio Carvalho deal done, promising young player, Liverpool now needing RB cover for TAA seems like according to reports we have strong interest in Calvin Ramsay, good prospect coming out of Aberdeen. I'm optimistic this deal might get done.

Can you please provide player names that if we've recently had any interest with for positions mid/ forward.
As we expect Origi, Ox and perhaps Taki and Milner, even maybe Nabi to be moved on.
If you can please perhaps mention against the names possible or unlikely that the deal can get over the line that would be great.

Much appreciated
Tommy T.

{Ed002's Note - I am not sure that Liverpool will look to adding any more first choice forwards unless there is a major departure. Otavio, Vitinha, Bissouma, Merino, Tchouameni, Wirst, Tielemans and Laimer have all been watched by the club.}


1.) 15 May 2022 10:11:55
Milly is going nowhere.


2.) 15 May 2022 10:00:47
Thanks Ed appreciate it.

What about Fabio Viera from Porto?

{Ed002's Note - Fabio Vieira (AM) Porto want to keep the youngster and have no intention of selling. Previously Arsenal, Bournemouth and RBL have had approaches turned away. Has been watched by Spurs, Wolves and Liverpool.}


3.) 15 May 2022 11:57:06
Do you mean Florian Wirtz, Ed?

{Ed002's Note - Yes, but I think it very, very doubtful. Certainly not this summer.}


4.) 15 May 2022 14:51:46
Wirst also suffered a pretty bad ACL injury, so I can't see a club taking a chance on him in summer, he'll be out for a long time.


5.) 16 May 2022 00:19:00
Ed I read a report in The Mirror that claimed we have a first-refusal agreement with Porto for Fabio Viera for €12m which was negotiated as part of the Luis Diaz deal. It seems rubbish to me, I'm guessing you will confirm that it is?

{Ed002's Note - I don't know how that would work as his contract will have needed to change. It then iopens up a potential breach of the rules with having third party influence.}


6.) 16 May 2022 11:26:11
Cheers Ed. It sounded like something unprecedented to me unless it was something similar to the option Chelsea had on Lazar Markovic at Benfica but I think they were involved with him when he was at Partizan Belgrade.

{Ed002's Note - it is nothing like that.}


 

 

20 Apr 2022 11:39:48
ED002,

Can you please provide a recent update on Adeyemi. Have noticed reports are getting stronger with Liverpool being linked to him.
Will he be going to Borussia Dortmund?

I assume if either Mane or Salah leave he will fit in with our rebuild, top talent.

Thanks

Tommy T.

chowchowtoma

{Ed002's Note - Karim Adeyemi (S) Interest from several sides who have been watching including Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Liverpool. His agent previously said eventually a move to RBL was planned and I would expect him to be playing in Germany next season, but not for RBL or Bayern Munich, but for Borussia Dortmund who are losing Haaland and are negotiating a fee with RBS. Interest of PSG shifted elsewhere and the player is not interested in either Juventus or Sevilla who also made approaches. There was a discussion with Chelsea but that went nowhere. Borussia Dortmund - he is their preferred option over others they have short-listed and it seems likely that is where he will end up.}


1.) 20 Apr 2022 12:43:31
Much appreciated as always.


2.) 20 Apr 2022 20:15:02
I think Liverpool have got to the stage where they only need to add one maybe two players per season.


3.) 21 Apr 2022 01:34:59
Before the start of next season, the club will have 9 players out of 25 who will be 30 years old or more (Van Dijk, Matip, Thiago, Henderson, Mane, Salah, Firmino, Adrian and Milner) . I think only 3 or 4 (at the most) will still be at the club in 2 years time. Assuming the others in the squad still maintain their quality, we will still need more than 1 or 2 new players per year.

We're at a level where we are competing in 4 competitions per year and we need to continue fostering competition for places. We have the 4th highest average age in the EPL, and all our competitors in the top 6 are younger. Not to mention that our style of play requires both pace and stamina, and we can't afford to have the effects of age set in suddenly. The next group has to be built up from now.


4.) 21 Apr 2022 06:13:37
Totally agree aray
I think the midfield is the priority to get bodies in
Age gap drops from 29 to 22 in midfield maybe a player or 2 around 24/ 25 to help the younger lads transition gradually in to the midfield rather than being thrown in and help the older lads have a rest in between games . The increase in games per season basically means you need 2 players in every position and a youthful prospect is the 3rd choice . Only my opinion but the more games = more players in squads . I do feel that the 5 sub rule will benefit us as we can introduce Elliot and Jones more in that midfield.


5.) 21 Apr 2022 08:53:46
Three centre mids named in the above over 30 list but also there's Jones and Elliott who can't get a look in. These young players will hopefully get even better and be able to step up as the older midfielders start to decline. Adrian can certainly be replaced from within and even Matip can eventually be replaced by Van Den Berg if he proves up to the job. I agree with the poster who said L'pool should be only signing one or two top quality players every summer while also making use of the academy.


6.) 21 Apr 2022 14:59:06
I don't see a long term fit for Jones, other than as a rotation player. He may well want to play more under his old mentor Stevie G. 50m for him and Gomez.
I see Real are eyeing up Bellingham as Edwards first signing. I hope he does not go there.


7.) 21 Apr 2022 17:38:23
Start with Rice IMO.


8.) 21 Apr 2022 17:54:58
Jones hard to call! could well be sold but equally could be here for years! So young, i would say he's showed more than Hendo had at the same age and we know how he turned out.


9.) 22 Apr 2022 10:25:55
Hope he stays. I remember him marking KDB in the first City game and completely nullifying him. The best I'd seen him play defensive football and still really young.

Hope you're well! Long time poster.
In regards to Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz, would you say these were players that liverpool signed which were hidden from the media? As I couldn't really find these players mentioned on this page at all prior to Liverpool signing them, nor from other external media sources.

In addition, do you think Liverpool will sign a so called high profile midfielder next market? If so, anyone we've looked at.
As Milner, ox and Naby will all be reviewed and perhaps departing according to a few sources.

Cheers
TommyT.

chowchowtoma

{Ed002's Note - (a) Jota was third choice and Liverpool signed him because they did not have to pay for him up front. (b) Interest in Diaz was known - the issue was over money. (C) I don’t know what you mean by high-profile but I have explained that Liverpool have been considering Sanchez and others for some time.}


1.) 09 Feb 2022 09:00:47
Morning ed002,

Can you tell us who our two choices were before Jota was signed out of interest? Have a nice day.

{Ed002's Note - Done to death but Sarr and Traore.}


2.) 10 Feb 2022 10:19:25
Third choice and the right choice. See salah before. It’s the decisions you make not the ones you don’t that count.


3.) 11 Feb 2022 08:46:14
Liverpool seem to have a knack of getting 3rd and 4th choice forwards and them ending up not too bad 👍.

Trust you're well!

I know you've touched on Donyell Malen reading through the material the past few weeks and mentioning Liverpool have shown interest.
However, as now Dortmund have agreed terms with United for Sancho do you see Borussia likely replacing him with Malen? As I've read they're very interested.

Have Liverpool discussed terms with the player yet as Dutch exited the Euros over a week or so ago or spoken with PSV about him?

He is a player I quite like, skill full, quick, strong and holds up the play well.
Looks to have a decent future.

Much appreciated
Tommy T.

chowchowtoma

{Ed002's Note - I have been explaining this for months: Donyell Malen (S/F) Arsenal want to resign the player to replace Lacazette - but it seems very unlikely he would want to return and Arsenal may well turn their attention to Patson Daka. Borussia Dortmund have him thowards the top of their list of potential Sancho replacements. Milan are also keen on the player but finances are in a rough state and it may prove difficult. Juventus see Malen as an option to Memphis Depay who they have lost out on. He would make a fine replacement for Roberto Firmino at Liverpool but I am not aware of any approach to PSV at this time and the club has not spoken to Mino Riaola about him at this time - but he has been watched.}


1.) 03 Jul 2021 14:44:31
Doncha know that Sala’s agreed terms with Leicester.

Hope you're well!

I'm curious to know if Liverpool ended up putting a sell on clause when selling Ryan Kent to Rangers.
There seems to be strong interest from Leeds. If so, do you know what % was factored in?
Could seem quite fitting if there was, along with £4.8mill for couts winning the UCL, additional funds are starting to come from angles that I didn't expect which will contribute to our transfer kitty.

Thanks
TommyT.

chowchowtoma

{Ed002's Note - I really don't know.}


1.) 25 Aug 2020 11:05:07
No more money will be coming from Barcelona for Coutinho. We need to put this to bed, Liverpool have sold on that debt and we will see no more from that sale.


2.) 25 Aug 2020 13:31:35
I don’t think it’s a case of trying to scoop together little bits of cash here and there to build a transfer budget.

If we make good amount of sales then we might be in a position to fund some roles.


 

 

02 Aug 2020 03:47:35
ED002

Jadon Sancho - sorry to ask on this page as I know it's more fitting to the Man united page but as you know Klopp has spoken about the player before and we have been linked with him.
Just wanted to ask your perspective if you think the deal with go through to United.

My personal feeling is if the deal some how doesn't go through Liverpool will be in a very good position the following season to make a play for him. As I see klopp having to sell one of this front three to look ahead for the future as the front 3 will all be 30. Most likely that player will be salah.
Which should receive a significant fee in return.

Plus 1 year left on Sanchos contract, fee should come down also with the agent fee being lowered.

Much appreciated
Tommy T.

chowchowtoma

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool have mode no approach for the player and don't have the pre-contract agreement the Fat Kid From Bolton has said they have for next season. There is also interest from other sides in the player.}


1.) 02 Aug 2020 10:56:40
At 110m reportedly, we cannot even afford Sancho anyway C.V. or not so it was a non starter from day one.


 

 

02 Jul 2020 21:50:04
ED002

Filip - stefanovic - you mentioned he may be going elsewhere in a previous statement 21 June. Can I ask where you think he will end up?
Since Liverpool were scouting him since 2018 im wondering if liverpool will look to put in a bid.

Much appreciated
Tommy T.

chowchowtoma

{Ed002's Note - Their is a great deal of interest across Europe and Partizan are looking for a cash sale and loan back and have had discussions with Manchester City, Juventus, Chelsea and Atalanta.}


 

 

01 May 2020 09:20:36
ED002

Hope you're well!

Would this have some truth to it. if you factor in the release clause of both Diego Carlos and Timo Werner and now due to the unpredictable financial costs of Covid 19 impacting crowd attendance, tv rights etc.
That Liverpool will not be able to afford both players at their clubs valuations?


Much appreciated.
Tommy T.

chowchowtoma

{Ed002's Note - The "release clause" of Werner is of no significance whereas the the release clause of Carlos would need to be paid in a single cash payment unless there was some negotiation. Liverpool can raise money by selling players - so if they sold Mane or van Dijk they would be able to afford both.}

Great question, was just about to ask the same.
Reports are saying Dortmund are favourites to sign him but Bayern &and Liverpool will push.
If either Mane or Salah are offloaded end of season, with Adeyemis talent and age if fits well for the forward rebuild.

The salah statement was pure hypothetical based on the BILD publication.
Based on your sources was curious if things had changed from three weeks.

You've taken what I've mentioned incorrectly.

Timo Werner can be used in multiple positions.

I take it based from your response, that nothing has changed.

thank you for your response.

That's a shame no holidays. maybe Christmas time.

I guess it's very unlikely to happen then as Firmino seems very loyal to the club and Klopp loves him.
