Hi eds,

I saw a few newspapers reports about we being interested in Falcao. Looks a very good decision to me. If we can buy him for 25 million pounds or thereabouts, it would be great considering mostly no champions league football next season.Though he is out of form right now, he is on par with Suarez in terms of talent, and fits our bill of press and play. Of course, we need to offload Mario and Borini. Your thoughts on this?

ramkishore31

{Ed002's Note - He is coming up to 30, very expensive and out of form. His wages alone would be a major stumbling block. I really would not hold your breath.}


1.) 16 Apr 2015 08:22:33
Why would liverpool pay close to 40mil for a player who has not impressed in the Premier League and is a massive gamble in terms of his fitness? We already have Sturridge to worry about in that department. Also, his sky high wages would not appeal to us. For that sort of money and wages, I'm sure we can get someone better for the long haul.


2.) 16 Apr 2015 08:38:19
I really don't understand why LFC would move Balotelli on to sign another expensive, underperforming striker. A much older one at that


3.) 16 Apr 2015 09:12:53
Falcao is scoring goals for colombia. I think a lot of it had to do with Van Gaal. Purely speculation though.


4.) 16 Apr 2015 17:37:59
As a united fan as dissapointing as Falcoa has been for us, I'm convinced he's still a top striker and have no doubt he will score plenty of goals again at his next club. I think a lot of it is down to how we set up first half of the season, so slow in possession and poor going forward. Since we have improved he gets 10 mins a game. Can't get any form like that. I hope he goes abroad as like I said I feel he will rediscover his form sooner or later

Hi eds,
What are the chances of Sterling leaving Liverpool this summer? If he is leaving are we looking to buy another attacking midfielder or the likes of Lallana, Coutinho and Markovic enough?

ramkishore31

{Ed001's Note - it is highly unlikely, though a ridiculous offer, similar to the Suarez money, and it would be considered to enable us to strengthen the squad and get within FFP regs.}

Hi eds,

I guess Skrtl and Sakho are giving good performances oflate. What do you think are the chances of Lovren leaving the club this summer? If he is leaving, are we going to spend on another central defender?

ramkishore31

{Ed001's Note - and what happens with all the others we have?}


1.) 23 Feb 2015 21:01:01
Well said Ed001. I don't think we'll be buying anymore midfielders or defenders for quite a while - we are knee deep in them and an awful lot are going to have to be sold BEFORE we buy anymore


2.) 23 Feb 2015 22:25:47
I honestly don't think we need to sign another CB this Summer. I hope and believe that Lovren will stay, as I think he can do a job at RCB and will eventually take over Skrtel's position. Then we have Sakho, who will be at LFC for a long time I reckon and deservedly so! And then we have Ilori and Wisdom returning from loans. I think if he keeps fit, Ilori can be a brilliant player for us. I'm not so certain about Wisdom, but I think he would fit in perfectly in this new system, so I'd love for him to get his chance. I'd rather give these players chances and invest in other areas of the team.


3.) 24 Feb 2015 13:28:28
Totally agree with the above post.
Even if Can moves into midfield next year, and if we still play 3 at the back, and ignoring the fact that Toure may still be around, we would possibly still need 6 CB's.
You would have to think that Skrtel and Sakho will be nailed on (based on recent performances), with either Lovren or Wisdom filling the other spot and Illori and young Jones as back up.
If Brendan decides to revert back to a back 4 though I would think one or two would need to be moved on.


4.) 24 Feb 2015 22:15:35
If we continue with 3 at the back then the strategy would be to carry six in the squad. With Toure expected to be released that leaves Can, Lovren, Skrtel, Sakho - and returning from loan Illori, and if he can play at CB Wisdom.

So if Can moves into MF, and Lovren did leave we'd have 4 which is very thin. That's why I can't understand why Ed001 keeps saying we are overstocked at the position.

Sorry - Andy but Lloyd Jones will probably never be good enough for the Premier League.

Hi eds,

Now that Sterling has not signed a new contract and we are looking for a center forward, what you do think are the chances of swapping Benzema and Sterling between Madrid and Liverpool this summer?

ramkishore31

{Ed001's Note - low, very low.}


1.) 24 Feb 2015 04:54:37
Ed1
Do we have any interest in benzema? Would be a good signing if we can raise the money.
As for the swap rather take isco. I remember reading Madrid wanted to sell him too

{Ed001's Note - right now, no, but I am sure there would be interest if we could sell some players to raise the funds.}


2.) 24 Feb 2015 08:42:21
Ed1
Do you rate the guy? I think he is a good striker but not a world class one. Rather try for lacazatte

{Ed001's Note - Benzema is the best in the world at bringing others into the game, a perfect partner for any other forward. He is very similar to Giroud, but a lot better. Not the best goalscorer, but still an excellent striker. Lacazette is not interested in moving to us as things stand from what I have been told, so why even compare the two?}


3.) 24 Feb 2015 10:28:27
Ed1

Didn't know that about Lacazatte. We should have gone for him or bony in the summer hut alas hindsight is a wonderful thing.
I still don't think benzema would be the answe? WWould you be happy with him mate? I would rather go for someone cheaper and younger like vietto

{Ed001's Note - I would rather we got someone cheaper, but Benzema would be an improvement over the players we already have up front, other than Sturridge. He would also be a player I feel could partner Studger very well.}


 

 

10 Jan 2015 12:00:38
I see a lot of sites reporting a move for Benzema. He has apparently shown interest to move to Anfield and Real Madrid are looking to replace him with Falcao. Any truth behind this?

ramkishore31

{Ed002's Note - Benzema will be allowed to leave in the summer but he won't be moving to Liverpool in January. And as a replacement they have others in mind.}


1.) 11 Jan 2015 06:26:37
Has he not said, previously, that we are not a big enough club for him? Pretty sure we would not be considered.

{Ed001's Note - he said something along the lines of asking why he would want to leave Real Madrid for another club. It was more about bigging up them, than insulting Liverpool.}

Hi eds,

If Couts leaves next summer, why won't klopp try to use Brandt to replace him? Liverpool play 4-4-2 these days more often and he can certainly play on the left. Also, Brandt will be first choice on the left, ahead of Ox, and there is no need to worry about first team chances (which was why he rejected us) .

What do you think are the chances f=of Brandt coming next season to replace Couts?

ramkishore31

{Ed002's Note - Done to death - try the search engine.}


1.) 08 Dec 2017 01:02:33
If we are going 442 better Lemar than Brandt.

Firmino Salah
Lemar Keita Henderson Mane.


2.) 08 Dec 2017 08:44:00
Forget the formation coz courinho doesn’t have a fixed one in the first place. A specialist would never replace a playmaker. Brandt is not a playmaker whilst Lemar is the closest one in terms of creating the play from midfield.

Filling names on pitch wouldn’t get anything close to what Philippe Coutinho gives to the team.
Courinho is a midfielder who occupies space where and when available. He has no fixed position! You need to replace his attributes not his position!


 

 

20 Aug 2017 18:41:03
Hi eds,

Why don't we shown interest in Mahrez? He can play on the right side of the midfield 3 and can replace Coutinho to some level.

We could have Hendo/ Can in the deep role, Mahrez/ Lallana in the creator role and Keita/ Wijnaldum in the box to box role.

ramkishore31

{Ed002's Note - I cannot say why Klopp has not shown interest in Mahrez or Korbinian Vollmann.}


1.) 20 Aug 2017 19:17:53
I had to Google Vollmann because i’ve never heard of him and got results of a novelist/ journalist xD but then found the player and i’ve still never heard of him 😂.


2.) 20 Aug 2017 19:16:33
Eds what's your opinion on Mahrez If you don't mind me asking?

{Ed002's Note - It is hard to see what he could add to Liverpool aside from depth.}


 

 

29 Jul 2016 18:58:20
Hi eds,

How do you rate Firmino? Statistically, he has been very good, but he goes missing in a lot of matches. And, I personally feel he is too lethargic and careless. How does Klopp rate him? Does he plan to use him as a striker or behind the striker or a squad player next season?

Thanks!

ramkishore31

{Ed001's Note - lethargic? He works his backside off! One thing he is not is lethargic. He does have games where nothing seems to come off, but he never stops chasing and harrying. Klopp likes him as a forward.}


1.) 29 Jul 2016 19:56:49
I would say he's too selfless to be a forward and if he does play forward, I hope it's as the one playing off the other.


 

 

22 Jul 2016 18:44:55
I'm still not sure about the system or the players forming our lineup for BPL. We have playing 4-3-3 mostly in pre-season, so if this is what Klopp is going to use, then who will miss out? I am sure Can, Wijnaldum, Henderson/ Milner will form the mid 3 and Coutinho, Sturridge an Mane will form the front 3. What do you guys think?

ramkishore31

1.) 22 Jul 2016 18:56:34
Wijnaldum is an attacking mid not a centre mid.


2.) 22 Jul 2016 19:09:06
4-2-3-1 with Wijnaldum, Firminho/ Coutinho and Mane playing behind the single striker I reckon.

I expect one of Firminho/ Coutinho will leave, just a guess but think it will happem.


3.) 22 Jul 2016 19:13:22
Sturridge for firminho.


4.) 22 Jul 2016 19:17:15
He is a versatile player. Klopp buys players who are flexible. And we already have 6 attacking midfielders in our team. So, I presume he will be used as one among the midfield 3.


5.) 22 Jul 2016 19:25:00
There's not a chance Firmino is getting benched, part of me thinks a 2 man midfield of Can, Hendo/ Milner with Coutinho, Firmino, Mane/ Wijnaldum and Sturridge. However i feel he'll change it up quite a bit which is fine when you have quality options on the bench. I do feel we could do with a DM if we are to play a 2 man midfield, as we got cut open far too often last season, Medel or someone similar would be nice as Lucas looks like he may well be leaving.


6.) 22 Jul 2016 19:54:01
Not necessary to spend on a DM as Stewart can do the job if given the chance mate.


7.) 22 Jul 2016 20:03:03
I don't think Klopp would hesitate to bench Firmino especially now that he has so many attacking options, infact he was subbed on more than one occasion last season. There is no doubt Firmino is talented but he does have a tendency to give the ball away.


8.) 22 Jul 2016 21:24:57
But Stewart isn't a ball playing DM. Doing a job is fine for a cover player and he does the graft work well. but a ball playing DM would make us a better team.


9.) 22 Jul 2016 22:51:56
Johnny, Firmino nor Couts are going nowhere neither is any of them getting benched so Wijnaldum can play. They are both better than him and so is Mane. Which is why his signing doesn't add up. Sure hope Klopp knows what he's doing.


10.) 23 Jul 2016 08:28:13
GW quality player for me. Firmino?


11.) 23 Jul 2016 08:29:51
Rest assured he knows better than you what HE is doing Cincy!


 

 

08 Jul 2016 18:59:39
Hi eds,

When is Coutinho joining the pre-season? Klopp said everyone will have 3 weeks off right, its been more than 3 weeks since Brazil went out of Copa America.

ramkishore31

{Ed002's Note - No idea.}


1.) 08 Jul 2016 19:45:15
It's all a smokescreen, you see, he's already been sold for €57 million to Everton but we don't want Dortmund to know that, otherwise they won't accept our €35 million offer for Reus, they'll want €42 million instead. That will then blow our budget apart and the deal to bring back Suarez will fall apart as Barcalona want €97 million for him and we only have €95 million in the bank and we still need a left back, who will probably be Rodriguez (the Chilwell scenario is another smokescreen, though I won't go into that now) .
Oh, Balotelli to sign a 3 year extension but on reduced wages but we pay for his haircuts.


2.) 08 Jul 2016 20:07:53
Come on Tristan that's a lie. There is now way that we will pay for Mario's haircuts as we'll just sign a barber capable of playing at left back.


3.) 08 Jul 2016 20:14:41
I think you are spot on. Eds i know you don't like to talk about money, can you still give us something to feed on.
Thanks.


4.) 08 Jul 2016 20:49:05
He was Granted additional time off by Klopp apparently. As long as he is back for the Tour of the US! (Just because I am going to 2 games lol)

How would Brandt be starting from the bench each week? Klopp wants to play Coutinho in midfield role right? So Brandt would slot in the left forward role that Coutinho took up last season.

Who cares if Ed002 rates Klopp or not. He is going to be here for another 6 years and will take Liverpool to newer heights. Atleast, the majority of the Kop are behind him. Your welcome :)
