Hi Ed002
Has our interest in Hincapie cooled a bit? I remember you mentioned there maybe a possibility we would go for Pacho and Hincapie. Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Piero Hincapie (CB) Interest of Nottingham Forest will go nowhere. Scouted and rejected by Spurs as not being ready for the Premier League, but he may well be now and they are struggling to find a target to join them. Apparently open to a move to Liverpool as they look for cover but his expectation is to be a starter but that would take the departure of van Dijk and Liverpool have preferred options. Atletico have spoken with Bayer Leverkusen who are reluctant to make changes at CB although there is pressure mouting over interest both Tapsoba and Tah. A Milan and Roma have both sent scouts, but no more than that.}

Hi Ed002, Any truth in our reported interest in Odilon Kossounou?
0
{Ed002's Note - Odilon Kossounou (CB/RB) With Tapsoba, Tah and Hincapie all attracting attention Bayer Leverkusen will not want to lose Kossounou as well. Versatility to play at both CB and RB and has regularly attacted scouts from both Manchester sides and Real Sociedad, who may be forced to replace Robin Le Normand. Liverpool scouts may have noticed him when watching another Bayer Leverkusen player - but they have preferred options.}

Are we still interested in Archie Gray eds2?
0
{Ed002's Note - Archie Gray (DM/CM/RB) Leeds kiddie having had an excellent season in the Championship and showing versatility. Will not be for sale but Leeds have noted Brentford, Crystal Palace and Spurs have a declared interest with the former having had a significant offer rejected. Scouts from Manchester United, West Ham, Liverpool, Spurs, Chelsea and RBL have attended games but it would be a waste of the player unless these clubs are looking to utilise him in the first team with all having preferred options. West Ham, Borussia Dortmund or Bayern Munich may provide a wildcard solution.}

According to the Guardian he’ll likely go to Spurs.

30 Jun 2024 14:11:18
BBC is saying, he's off to Brentford.

Apparently the Brentford deal broke down over payment structure.

Great player, but not sure where he would fit in.

Reminds me a bit of Declan Rice. I don’t think we need to gamble on a teenager though. We have a good academy now that is producing players. If we sign players for big money, i’d prefer they are players who improve us in the here and now. Gray probably has a big future though if he stays fit and grounded.

Would be kind of funny having that misogynistic liverpool-hating neanderthal's son becoming a star for us, though, wouldn't it lol.

Hi Ed’s, regarding the DM situation, has there been interest in Morten Hjulmand?
Thank you.

{Ed002's Note - Lots, but not from Liverpool.}

Thanks for the response Ed’s, Shame, Sporting have built a very nice team. I find it incredible Pedro Goncalves hasn’t been picked up by a top side yet. Would love him at Liverpool.

Gordon to Liverpool ed2?

{Ed002's Note - I don't see him leaving Hearts - he must be 40 now.}

Gordon’s alive.

Flash Gordon, Gordon Freeman or Alan Gordon Partridge?
1
29 Jun 2024 07:14:40
I think the interest in ANTONY gordon is geniune. he done few interviews lately and spoke v highly of liverpool where he could which v surpriseing coming from an ex everton player. He definetly a good player but i certainly wouldn't pay a record fee for him which has been mooted. other positions in team need strengthening before that imo.
2
{Ed001's Note - he is a Liverpool fan and started off in the Liverpool academy if I remember correctly.}
26
29 Jun 2024 07:53:26
Yeah ed1 I think that correct, i believe we released him due to him being too small. What u think of him as a player ed1? at the right fee and if diaz leaves yes, but i wouldn't be going too heavy money wise on him, would be my call.
1
{Ed001's Note - no thank you, he was released because he is not good enough and he still isn't. No skill, just pace. For me he is a Vardy-type player and that is where he should be playing. However to get the most out of a player like that, you need to play on the counter.}
15
29 Jun 2024 10:26:05
There’s definitely a swathe of local fans that seem to be enamoured with him after the interview he did with Gary Neville.
I don’t see the fuss. Definitely not at the price it would take to get him out of Newcastle.
6
29 Jun 2024 10:48:24
I like Gordon and I think he’d do well at Liverpool. But he’s not worth £100m and he’s not an upgrade on Gakpo.
16
{Ed025's Note - hes good MK but £100m is ridiculous, but i have to disagree that he is not an upgrade for Gakpo mate..
7
29 Jun 2024 10:43:25
ED002 - any reassurance you can provide that we won't sign Gordon, would be greatly appreciated.
2
{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any plans to sign him and it would be a surprise to me.}
17
29 Jun 2024 11:22:38
He is an upgrade to Gakpo and Diaz for sure. Better pace than Gakpo and much better finisher than Diaz.
8
29 Jun 2024 11:43:33
David Lynch has confirmed talks took place. Liverpool interested but Newcastle wanted Quansah as part ex so talks broke down. I wouldn't be surprised if a cash only deal happened.

What about offering Kelleher as part of the deal?
4
29 Jun 2024 14:00:25
Maybe sepp since they evidently want a cb.
4
29 Jun 2024 14:08:29
Apparently it collapsed because they wanted Quansah in exchange.
6
29 Jun 2024 14:19:08
For the type of money being talked about I'd try and get Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from napoli. We have better players than Gordon already.
18
29 Jun 2024 14:42:46
The "Dying Swan" is better than Gakpo and Diaz - comical stuff.
11
29 Jun 2024 15:15:13
We need an upgrade on the left wing and he was better than Diaz and Gakpo last season. But I’m not sure he takes us to title winning level. Musiala is the one to go for.
3
29 Jun 2024 16:16:15
Gordon better than gakpo and Diaz 😂😂😂there are no words…. Gordon is a handful running into space for sure, but not sure what else he offers when the team is not in transition, gakpo can hold the ball up, run at defenders, carry the ball from deep and has proven that he’s a smart footballer who combines well with others, gakpo scored 16 in 53 games, many off the bench, Gordon 12 in 48, most of them starting, so not sure why Gordon is considered a more impactful player?
18
29 Jun 2024 16:29:16
From the sounds of the BBC report it was proposed by Newcastle and we pretty much said ‘no thanks’. Sounds like we want to keep Quansah and weren’t / aren’t actively looking to sign Gordon.
3
29 Jun 2024 17:43:31
I’d have him. But Liverpool don’t need him. There’s more obvious positions were desperate for.
6
29 Jun 2024 18:00:00
Quansah is a rare commodity, a big, tall, strong, relatively quick, English centre back, who is as comfortable on the ball as he’s dominant in the air. That lad has a big future here.
19
29 Jun 2024 20:24:25
Would fill a hole in the squad, you can’t have too many left win…….
Oh!

29 Jun 2024 23:36:43
Interesting what Ed001 said about Vardy, I agree he should be playing there. I think he has pace and is a good finisher.
He’s probably a better finisher than we have at the club - not including our young guns.
0
29 Jun 2024 21:01:20
Diaz, Gakpo, Nunez, the bloke who plays for Napoli and Gordon - we’re set.

30 Jun 2024 00:16:05
Heard that an offer of Kellerer and 50 mill is being made.
0
29 Jun 2024 15:27:51
Just don’t think there is much in it Ed025. End of the day your forwards have to score and create goals. That’s their job in the team. Gakpo had 22 goal involvements last season and Gordon had 23. Diaz had 18 so there is a bigger gap there to be fair in terms of output. They all made roughly 50 appearances. Gordon is the youngest at 23 years old so maybe he has a higher ceiling than Gakpo who is 25 years old. Diaz at 27 probably has the least scope for improvement.
So not saying Gakpo is better than Gordon. I like Gordon a lot and would be excited if we signed him. I just think there’s very little between them. Although I do think they could play together as both could alternate between LW and CF.
1
30 Jun 2024 08:12:05
Would rather stick with gakpo, he has never had a run at left wing which is his best position than buy another left winger. the money could be used better elsewhere.
6
30 Jun 2024 11:36:17
Perhaps club is preparing for the departure of another left winger, Diaz maybe? What else would trigger the club to go for Gordon? If it was iniated by Newcastle because of todays deadline it sounds still odd because if Liverpool do not need the player you would not enter any negotiation? Anyway absurd amounts being paid between teams who have problems with FFP deadline. Anderson to Forest for 35 mln, insane. So no more worries to sell Gordon I presume. As from tomorrow all Gordon stories will be over I guess.
1
30 Jun 2024 12:58:26
I would agree that Gordon is a player that thrives in space, not sure he would have the same impact when people park the bus. If Diaz were to leave, and we signed a big money left winger, I’d be pissed if i were Gakpo. Clearly his best position and never really had a shot there, and technically he is the best of the lot.
0
30 Jun 2024 17:21:32
If the approach for Quansah is true, then the more pertinent question would be if Gordon is so talented and has such a high ceiling, why are the Geordies so eager to see the back of him?
0
30 Jun 2024 20:51:09
They are in FFP trouble and needed to make some cash by today.

28 Jun 2024 07:59:10
Eds,
Any concrete interest / update re. Calafiori and Liverpool?
Seems to fit the bill re age, left footed and can play CB or LB.
Thanks.
0
{Ed002's Note - Riccardo Calafiori (CB/LB) Bayer Leverkusen and Chelsea have a declared interest but he is not first choice for either although Chelsea may well look to two additions and push for the player. Newcastle interest has gone. Spurs, Bayern Munich and Brighton have sent scouts but Juventus has held a number of discussions with Bologna and are offering cash and a part exchange. They will also have an edge because of Motta although Bologna have now secured CL football they insist they do not need to sell their prime assets. A wildcard may be Real Madrid. Liverpool have shown no interest that I am aware of and have very specific targets of their own.}
11
28 Jun 2024 13:45:57
Would Madrids interest be dependent on signing Yoro?
1
{Ed002's Note - No, it is dependent on something else - hence it only really being a wildcard option.}
