Hi Ed
More Tchouameni links have been popping up the last few days, particularly mentioning that Madrid are open to moving the player on and that we remain interested, even holding discussions with his entourage recently. Is there any truth to this?
2
{Ed002's Note - Aurelien Tchouameni (CM/DM) Real Madrid say they do not wish to sell but with a further dip in form have again spoken to with Chelsea (who were previously blocked from completing negotions for the player) about him during discussions over two other players. A deal including an exchange may be possible - although events surrounding another Real Madrid player Chelsea wish to discuss may end that idea. Chelsea are also concerned about a drop in form. Bayern Munich have also told Real Madrid that they will be interested if he were to be made available, but they would like an initial loan with an option to buy. The part exchange discussed last year is no longer be possible with Davies next summer, as he will be a Free Agent. Previously tapped up by Liverpool and they could potentially turn back to him if preferred options are not available. Would need to convince the club and the new Real Madrid coach to keep him beyond next summer - and it seems unlikely he will stay without a significant jump in form.}

Swap with Mac Allister?

06 Nov 2024 23:53:09
Ron - we’ll just swap him for whoever is in the dog house at that time.

Tchou is a capable player, no doubt, but he has been picking up an awful lot of injuries these last few years. Plus, he hasn't played much first team football at Real, due mostly to the performances of Kroos, Modric, Camavinga and Valverde, during his time at Real, coupled with his injury issues.
I would prefer a more consistently available option, but with Tchou's ability. That is a hard ask, of course, but I would look elsewhere. Or, maybe I am fearing another Chiesa case, where we sign him and barely see him again due to what we all knew and feared. Injuries.

For me Alex Mac is an absolute thoroughbred footballer who is currently enduring a minor dip in form.
He would be virtually untouchable for me. Yes, he needs someone tenacious in the middle with him to take the brunt of the running and tough challenges (hopefully Gravenberch stays on form), but I’d build the team around Mac. He’s got it all and hopefully will find top form in the next part of the campaign.
10
{Ed025's Note - you cant build a team around someone who is such a big tart PR, he would have to be a lot more vocal and stop all this cheating for me mate..
12
07 Nov 2024 07:32:34
I agree with ed25, he has all the attributes you want in a midfielder in his position, but the silly play acting and throwing himself to the floor as soon as an opposition player even farts in his direction is embarrassing and one of my pet peevs in other teams players. Cut it out, increase your effort and then we can start to truly see what he’s got, but the jury’s still out on him for me.
12
{Ed025's Note - me too Knighty..
10
07 Nov 2024 07:35:58
All just opinions innit mate?
But I’d say he’s the nearest player we have to an Odergaard or Guirmares type.
The best players are comfortable receiving the ball in any position and I think Mac could be that for us.
Certainly room for improvement but the core attributes are there for me.
1
{Ed025's Note - im still not convinced myself PR, i was one of them lauding up his arrival as at Brighton he was a special player, but i mist admit i have been somewhat underwhelmed up to now and all that play acting is really turning me off him, maybe when he was a big fish in a small pond it suited him more i dont know mate..

07 Nov 2024 07:56:16
ED025 in not rating a Liverpool player shocker! 😂.

So MacAllister is the new whipping boy now?
5
07 Nov 2024 08:45:52
Cheslea have two CDM already in their books, why would they need one more? Tchoumeni is nothing like Enzo or McAllister.
0
07 Nov 2024 08:51:21
I don't think the above constitutes as whipping Macca. Almost everyone, including Ed025, acknowledges that he has all the qualities to be a top midfielder but he's wasting it with his play acting and whining. Which, I think, is a reasonably fair assessment. If he cuts that out, he will be a far better player, like he was for a while last season and during the second half of the Brighton match.
7
{Ed025's Note - i cant argue with that Drac..
4
07 Nov 2024 09:08:57
For now flash, people are fickle, he isn't playing the best for sure and I have my own doubts over his ability to play within slots system, but not his actual ability. There are plenty of brilliant footballers that just didn't fit for whatever reason with us, and Macca may well be one of them.
Anyway give it a couple of weeks until Macca makes a few assist and scores a worldy and I'm sure we'll switch back to Jones, Jota, Nunez or Dom Zob.
2
07 Nov 2024 09:52:16
He was the same last year also. Just that the goals blinded the fans into believeing he is a super midfielder.
He was/ is average - kind of between Eliott and Jones type but only thing is he is from Argentina and has played WC and won also.
What is not helping him is the defensive position. Last year also he was bad there and when he was moved further ahead, he was lot better.
Overall in the forward position also, he is average, but his attributes are used better in that role.
His antics was on display last year also.
3
07 Nov 2024 10:18:46
Anyone see a reason why we’d replace Gravenberch with this fella? Sounds like a complete waste of money to me.
3
07 Nov 2024 10:23:00
Macca did well against Leverkusen. Put a shift in with some solid tackles and a lot of effort tracking back and helping out defensively also supporting the attack and had a decent shot. Hopefully a turning point for him. If he can do that and also use his quality he’ll be back to being one of first on team sheet.
5
07 Nov 2024 10:26:09
From what I can see Mac Allister gets targeted a fair bit by the opposition to get him riled up and drawn into needless skirmishes on the pitch, he does get kicked and roughed up so it’s not like he’s exclusively play acting, and maybe we can demand that he reacts better to provocation, to me the bigger issue is the lack of mobility when he gets caught out of position, he needs to be where his passing ability can hurt teams and where he won’t be a liability off the ball.
6
07 Nov 2024 10:01:12
Was super 2nd half of last season Sami, people forget. In bad form at the moment, he'll play his way out of it and could probably do with a rest.
3
07 Nov 2024 10:58:46
For the record I said swap with Mac Allister because Madrid were meant to be keeping tabs on him.
3
{Ed002's Note - They have moved on from him, at least for now.}
3
07 Nov 2024 12:19:54
I think it is fair to criticise a player’s form without considering him a scapegoat. I also do not think his ability has ever been questioned. He has the potential to do brilliant things and be brilliant. He also has the potential to cause us quite the problems when he is off form. I really hope he turns it around, I really hope he can carry us to the next level. For now, I wouldn’t mind seeing him dropped for a short period in the hope that he returns with a hunger that elevates him to match grav. If not- I would be happy if someone explained to him that falling on the ground a little too easily doesn’t really help the team, especially when we have the ball on the front foot.
1
07 Nov 2024 12:35:31
Both Macca and Szosbo have looked either out of form or lost so far. I do rate Jones and if someone could get him to occasionally not take unnecessary touches he could be a very good player for us. I don’t hear much about the #10 position in terms of us looking for someone so that’s either Jones / Harvey / or Szosbo. Eds, do you think a ten is more of a priority than a 6 right now?

Ed, have LFC's preferred options changed since the transfer window closed? If so, are you able to note who LFC are targeting now?

{Ed002's Note - Orkun Kokcu (CM/DM) Versatile Dutch midfiled player who moved to Benfica in 2023. Benfica has no interest in selling and will point to his €150M release clause. Previously considered a Bellingham option for Manchester United I suspect he will emerge as first choice for Liverpool in 2025 - but he will be expensive.
Samuele Ricci (DM/CM) Milan and Napoli are interested in the Torino DM player. Has been watched by scouts from Liverpool (on several occasions), Spurs and Fulham who saw him as a potential Palhinho replacement. Manchester City are interested in taking him with Rodri out for the season. A wildcard might be Inter Milan.
Hugo Larsson (CM/DM) Youngster who joined Frankfurt in the summer of 2023 from Malmo has attracted scouts from Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool and Newcastle. Arsenal or Spurs may well look to an offer but EF will not look to sell.
Aurelien Tchouameni (CM/DM) Real Madrid say they do not wish to sell but with a further dip in form have again spoken to with Chelsea (who were previously blocked from completing negotions for the player) about him during discussions over two other players. A deal including an exchange may be possible - although events surrounding another Real Madrid player Chelsea wish to discuss may end that idea. Chelsea are also concerned about a drop in form. Bayern Munich have also told Real Madrid that they will be interested if he were to be made available, but they would like an initial loan with an option to buy.

Previously tapped up by Liverpool and they could potentially turn back to him if preferred options are not available. Would need to convince the club and the new Real Madrid coach to keep him beyond next summer - and it seems unlikely he will stay without a significant jump in form.
Martin Zubimendi (CM/DM) Barcelona may still look to an offer although they are looking at preferred options first and would likely want to include a player in any deal. Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea have all sent scouts with Arsenal and Liverpool declaring an interest with his club last summer. Manchester City could look to Zubimendi given the injury to Rodri, but he would effectively be a replacement for Kovacic. Player still wants Barcelona although Liverpool could return
Carlos Baleba (DM/CM) Brighton are aware that Spurs, Marseille and Liverpool have sent scouts to watch Baleba but they do not wish to sell and would no doubt look to a huge fee if his head is turned.
Pablo Barrios (CM/AM/DM) Playing well. PSG would be open to a deal for Fabian Luiz and some cash. Chelsea see him as an option to replace Fernandez. If he continues to play well prior interest of Arsenal could return. A wildcard could be Liverpool who have sent scouts and are impressed by his versatility.}

07 Nov 2024 16:18:22
Yeah, World Cup and cops winner Mac10 isn’t that good.
Good Lord the Angora is strong amongst you.
Mac10 had a shocking 45 against Brighton. He was absolutely sound against the apparently terrible Leverkusen (schrodingers football at the moment) and is a genuinely brilliant midfielder. His teammates will adore him. I once met people that didn’t rate Gini or Thiago - as stupid as that sounds.

I don't understand this "he's not a good player because of the diving and histrionics"
I presume anyone who holds this opinion would also turn down; rivaldo, maradona, Messi, Ronaldinho. and many many more.
Yes it's rubbish players do it but there's statistical data which shows that in all leagues players are more likely to get free kicks when they go down and even in circumstances where it's a genuine foul they're less likely to get a free kick if they don't.
When refs award decisions for players who stay on their feet it will happen more. And this is ignoring the fact there's no correlation between going down too easy and lack of talent.
If you don't like Mac totally fine but the notion of players being poor because they dive is not just incorrect it's silly.
3
07 Nov 2024 17:57:52
Macca is quality but in a bad spell of form.
Form is temporary and the coaches will get him through it and back playing at a high level.
All of the players will go through periods of bad form, that's we have a strong squad to rotate and keep players on their toes, improving and striving to play better.
Should not be considering selling players just because they are in a bad spell of form.
3
07 Nov 2024 18:08:14
If someone woke up from a 2 year sleep and you asked them which one of our midfielders was a World Cup winner do you think they would guess correctly? All this he playing out of position if your a World Cup winner you should be able to adapt your game. Good job he’s not Gomez. I think his natural position is laying down behind the wall on free kicks.
0
07 Nov 2024 18:40:41
Maradona didn’t dive, he hurdled.
And thank you Ed002.
3
07 Nov 2024 19:29:34
Jesus christ we'd have a whole new team every season if it were up to some on here. I don't know how some people haven't learned their lesson writing off players when they have a dip in form. Just remember that form is temporary, class is permanent.
4
07 Nov 2024 19:39:21
There's absolutely no doubt that Mac and Szoboslai aren't playing anywhere near their ceilings, but you simply don't get to be top of 2 leagues while carrying a couple of midfield players.
Fingers crossed both players kick into gear soon and help to sustain the run of results we've seen. I'll be interested to see where Elliott fits in when he returns too.
3
07 Nov 2024 22:33:24
Macca is a top player and lad. I got to my first game at anfield on Saturday v brighton because of him. he used to get he's hair cut where I work in brighton when he was a brighton player and when I asked if he could get me tickets for lfc v brighton he said yes. I recieved them last Thursday eve and we had the best day on Saturday! YNWA! cheers macca!

08 Nov 2024 04:27:51
Neither Maradona or Messi were divers. CR7 did when he was at United but he has long since stopped diving.

Ed 002, if/ when Mo leaves, is Kudus someone we would be interested in?
0
{Ed002's Note - Mohammed Kudus (AM) West Ham are not looking to sell but an offer over £70M could tempt them and the player is open to moving on. Is of interest to Michael Emanalo. I am not aware of Liverpool showing any interest but Arsenal have declared an interest and could make a move for him as early as January.}
4
04 Nov 2024 13:31:22
Said it for a while now, Kudus would be an excellent choice to replace Salah if he were to leave but won’t come cheap.
I also think Bowen would be a great signing, his consistency is excellent but he is prob too old now for anyone in the top 4 to spend £70-80m on!
7
04 Nov 2024 13:21:18
Thank you Ed 002.

04 Nov 2024 18:22:21
And what about kubo Ed?
1
{Ed002's Note - Very unlikely now.}
2
04 Nov 2024 23:43:15
Aside from his age, Bowen is a huge Man United fan, straight no on that basis alone.
13
05 Nov 2024 07:46:29
Arsenal constantly seem to be in the market for RWs - given they have Saka makes no sense to me. Should have just bought a CF two years ago now if they want to win something.

{Ed025's Note - spot on Brummy..

05 Nov 2024 12:21:20
Thoughts on Mbeumo? I like Bowen, not sold on
Kudos.
0
05 Nov 2024 14:14:01
Kudus is an excellent player and would fit in very well at Liverpool and speaks very highly of his former Ajax coach, our very own Johnny Heitinga.
He's got the attributes Sadio Mane had, but is left-footed. Similar age to when Sadio joined us too.
He's no Salah replacement, but nobody can be.
Bowen's time for a big move has passed now and I think Mbeumo is a good player, but probably not quite got the ceiling Kudus does.
2
05 Nov 2024 14:50:38
When Mo leaves I don't necessarily think Arne will look for a like for like replacement. Kudus is versatile, can play wide right, attacking midfield and centre forward. Diaz can also cover wide right. I'd much prefer Kudus over Bakayoko.
1
05 Nov 2024 16:17:19
Kudus over Mbuemo all day long, Mbuemo fits a counter attacking team only imo, a quick player who works hard but that's about it, very limited dribbling and loses the ball a lot under pressure. People are blinded by his purple patch in front of goal but if you watch 3 or 4 full games you'll get what i mean. Semenyo of Bournemouth is a much better player than Mbuemo imo but is a LW. i am not an expert though so if the club think Mbuemo is the one he'll get my full support.
2
05 Nov 2024 17:53:18
Random thought was with being linked with marmoush who is a high scoring LW was that get a regular scoring rw to maybe trying to spread goal burden - as don’t just get players that rack up those goals Mo does…though would mean moving on of current Lw which not vying for but none get regular high numbers. Pure head cannon though and imagine miles off the mark.
0
05 Nov 2024 19:42:39
Marmoosh plays as a 2nd striker mostly for E. Frakfurt MightyMosive, maybe its to replace one of Jota or Nunez?
3
06 Nov 2024 09:04:32
Sorry Ed002 but why would Arsenal splash out on Kudus unless Saka is leaving or where would they play? :/.

03 Nov 2024 10:06:14
Eds, do you see in doing anything in the January transfer market and if so who and what positions?
0
{Ed002's Note - Liverpool still need to address the matters the flip-flopping by Hughes failed to address in the summer - but January is never the best time to buy. So a Centre Back and a DEfensive Midfield player will be top of the list. The club should by then understand the plans of van Dijk, Salah and Alexander Arnold by then and will need to start working seriously on adding replacements if there is n one already at the club who can step up. Perhaps Bradley will be an option?}
18
03 Nov 2024 12:13:06
Flipperty flopperty.
Hughes is definitely under a bit of pressure. 3x contract sagas and 2x positions we have been trying to appropriately fill for over two years. He's been lucky that Arne has settled in so well.
10
03 Nov 2024 14:22:16
Just lucky landing the job. His signings so far haven’t made sense.
8
03 Nov 2024 15:08:01
Where does Ed002 expect this new DM to play and does he replace the best DM in the Premier League currently?
11
03 Nov 2024 15:09:20
Its been what 2+ months post transfer window and none of the three have extended. He's (hughes) been a massive mistake so far.
6
03 Nov 2024 16:22:24
I think hughes needs replacing before any of the squad.
10
03 Nov 2024 17:22:38
Imagine what pressure Hughes would be under if we weren't top of the league.
17
03 Nov 2024 17:35:03
Scraping the bottom of the barrel with Hughes. A really bad move from the club. I do worry with him being in charge of transfer negotiations, as from the outside he doesn’t exactly seem very good at it.
4
03 Nov 2024 18:46:43
R is hughes working under instructions from his superiors to cut the wage bill?
5
03 Nov 2024 19:27:40
@Kaiser. I think he would replace Macca who Ed had eluded to last season being on a list of options for Madrid. the way he has played so far this season he could well be out in the summer.
Who would be realistic options for us in midfield Ed? Is Bruno Guimaraes an option?
Cheers.

03 Nov 2024 21:39:03
Defo not convinced by Hughes, not for anything he's done but more by what he hasn't and hasn't yet. Not making signings I can understand but the contracts is ridiculous plus reports that he is looking at Semenyo and Mbeumo from Bournemouth. Not convinced by either being honest.
0
03 Nov 2024 23:11:54
Hughes is on a hiding to nothing following Jurgen-Jurgen could pull almost any player in, however, he will be doing Edwards bidding, ans the club will sell itself for the most part so let's give the man a chance.
2
04 Nov 2024 03:00:22
Who, in peoples’ opinion should we replace Hughes with and why would you think the replacement would want to come to Liverpool? Not trick questions by the way.
2
04 Nov 2024 07:41:15
I don’t think Hughes will be getting replaced but why wouldn’t a potential replacement want to come?
You could make a very strong case for Liverpool being the most attractive destination in Europe outside of Madrid. It’s also not exactly going great at Madrid either. We have to make Liverpool as attractive as possible and Slott seems to be doing just that at the moment.

Can't blame Hughes for the VVD Salah n Trent not signing new deals . that should have been sorted, one way or another long before he got the job. that's down to the previous regime.

scouse John has it right.
Chiesa and Mamardsshvilli.
Chiesa is not suitable for the premier league and we didn’t need another keeper - certainly not a priority.
So I agree with SJ - doesn’t make sense.
2
04 Nov 2024 14:20:38
Cant be signing players from the likes of Brentford and Bournemouth, we tried that before signing blokes from Southampton, Hull and a terrible Newcastle and look how that turned out. We should only sign players from Real, Barca and Bayern.

Very harsh on Hughes the contract issues were long before he was appointed and should have been dealt with! Slot openly stated he wanted to see the squad and was in no rush to buy and he almost had Zubimendi wrapped up only for the player to do a u-turn!
Look at Kerkez at Bournemouth a player we should be looking at and Semenyo cracking talents he's bought in that will go on to a higher level club. Give the man a chance!

05 Nov 2024 13:13:39
I can’t believe some of the views on here. If I didn’t live in the real world and actually go to the games and watch us play - if all my information on Liverpool was gleaned from the opinions on here - I’d think we were in a relegation battle and not on the best run of any new manager in the history of the club.
Lads, touch grass. Everything’s okay.
Remember, according to this site Salah left every single year.

Those saying another top GK was not required. To get one that looks a very decent level, a lot of high end 1st team football in his pocket at his age. For £35 mil is good business. Looking again at another season of lengthy injury to Alison.

Well as Kelleher has been looking for a transfer away for a couple of season's I think another top GK was needed. I know Jaros is looking decent, but if Kelleher leaves at the end of season and we hadn't got anybody, people would be panicking and ripping Hughes another new one.
Also I would prefer to give Richard Hughes a bit more of a chance to prove himself. I am sure if he was doing that bad a job, someone higher up would be stepping in. He can't exactly be blamed for Zubimendi, a player decided he wanted to stay at his current club. We didn't mind when Stevie G looked set to join Chelsea and ended up staying.
As people have said contracts should have been sorted a while ago, but I do wonder if they want to see how VVD was after his bad injury or as has been rumoured Salah's relationship with Klopp was getting worse they didn't want to offer him a longer contract at the time. Plus with a new manager coming in, Slot may not have wanted VVD, Trent or Salah to stay.
Plus saying Chiesa is not suited to the PL when he has barely had a chance to prove himself, is a bit much. I may be wrong, but I would prefer to give a player a chance, as Slot has said, he didn't get a proper pre-season and coming to a different, more intense league it's going to take time to get used to.
I maybe a rose tinted supporter, but I am happy to be that. :)

Those pointing out about the keeper need
to bear in mind he’s gone straight on loan, so if an injury crisis occurs he won’t be available.

Seen enough this season and the game today Bournemouth vs Man C and Kerkez has been excellent and would be a perfect player for us.
Eds I assume he has attracted a lot of interest including Liverpool?

{Ed002's Note - Milos Kerkez (LWB) Only joined in the summer of 2023 after picking Bournemouth over Lazio for game time. Down the list for Chelsea who have a much preferred target. Manchester United have been sending scouts. Potential Robertson replacement for Liverpool.}

Cheers for info Ed. I'm not sold on Kerkez personally. would Pervis Estupinian be a realistic target as a replacement for robbo?
0
{Ed002's Note - No. Liverpool has shown no interest in Estupinan. I am not aware of Liverpool having a pressing need to replace Robertson, although they have looked at some LBs.}

I really like Kerkez, and also Ait Nouiri. Two very good options although i still hold out hope of Chambers breaking through.

Alex Moreno is the one I want, though he's currently on loan at Forest from Villa. If he gets back to his pre-injury best, for me he can be the best attacking LB in the Premier League. Just a random name, so probably no interest, but he's the one I'd be going for if he maintains his current form for the whole season.

I am genuinely baffled Ed001. I thought he was 23 for some reason. Scratch that then! That’s blown my mind. Great player still but definitely not a Robbo replacement at that age.

Hi Ed002. As far as you are aware do we have any interest in Mbeumo?
0
{Ed002's Note - Bryan Mbuemo (RW/F) Seen as a potential upgrade to Miguel Almiron by Newcastle and as an option for both Arsenal and Aston Villa. I am not aware of any approach by Liverpool and having read the article in Equip, they are not saying Liverpool are interested.}
