ed002 is there any clubs looking at Sheyi Ojo. Did he do any good last season on loan at Cardiff I think he made 28 starts and played is part in 44 league games out of 46 so that seem good only 5 goals and 7 Assists but am not sure how they did Cardiff.

{Ed002's Note - Sheyi Ojo is really Championship fodder - I would expect a loan as there seems to be no real interest from anyone looking to buy him.}

Ed 002 I recall you mention at one time he was noted as one of top 5 youngsters in the world. What went wrong for him?

{Ed002's Note - He was really well liked but it has gone downhill as he has not settled anywhere and there have been off-field issues.}

Does it look likely that we will sign anybody. We have a great squad but feel a midfielder may be needed. Thanks in advance. You guys do great work.

{Ed002's Note - It will largely depend on money now. For example, the wages for Saul pretty much kill any chance of a move.}

Ed002
Are we looking for an established midfielder like Saul/ Bissouma or an potential top player in the game in years to come like Camavinga?
What do you think?

YNWA.

{Ed002's Note - Camavinga is not moving to Liverpool. Liverpool cannot afford Bissouma without taking on considerable debt and Saul's wages would be an issue.}

ed002 are athletico still looking to sell Saul with him starting there first 2 games.

{Ed002's Note - they need to get his wages off the book.}

The only clubs looking at Saúl Ñíguez now in the EPL are Man Utd and Chelsea. He wants more than our pay structure will permit so there's no way we'll buy him. I think Chelsea's immediate aim is to get Jules Koundé across the line, sell Zouma to WHU and then perhaps think about SN. Man Utd seems a distinct possibility. Tottenham isn't looking at him they're buying Pape Sarr and Adama Traoré (as Madueke is not available) . We are not known to be in any conversations for any further players to come in BUT my understanding (rumours) is that we are waiting until the January window for a major deal. Make of that what you will.

Ed002 could you see Chelsea paying Saul the wages he wanted or would that cause problems with some of there players. Because I think that would be Liverpool’s biggest problem not paying his wages but him being on more than players that are more important in the squad.

{Ed002's Note - Players do not typically have a problem with what other players earn - certainly I am not aware of that at Chelsea. Their problem, like many clubs, sees the youngsters wanting guarantees of game time which they do not give - and that is the reason for some of the 30 departures so far this summer.}

Ed002 for the wages he is on and will want do you think it’s a bit much his a very good player but that level of wages I don’t think his quite at that level as that is putting him up there with some of the very best and I think he maybe just at the level below them. But football is about opinions and most people’s are different.

{Ed002's Note - Right, he is a very, very good player in a world of a reasonably small number of similar players, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic might be a good example. Age wise is is hitting his prime. If Liverpool could find a way to strike a deal it would really make a difference.}
