Eds,
Thank you for keeping us all updated throughout the transfer window - and especially to Ed2 for his insight!
Should we expect any movement today of players and if so, who should we keep an eye on/ who is most likely? I’m thinking more of ins but outs too!

{Ed002's Note - There is nothing new I am aware of. I think everything I know of has been discussed.}

I’m surprised the likes of Phillips, Ojo and Karius haven’t been moved on yet.

Ed is Renato Sanches on loan to Wolves possible? I know he's injured but a loan could be a low risk option. Any chance Liverpool could 'swoop' in and 'hijack' the move? ;)

Happy deadline day to one and all!

{Ed002's Note - Renato Sanches (CM) Lille are happy to let the player move on due to the constant muscle injuries he suffers; they wanted €20M cash or €30M with payments spread out although that could increase if Jorge Mendes can find multiple bidders or if there is no sale before the season starts. Klopp has praised him in the past and he would be a more affordable replacement for Wijnaldum, but not the preferred option for Liverpool. Barcelona has a sustained interest and he would prove to them to be financially viable whilst they work their financial issues. There has been a discussion with Arsenal and he will likely be offered to Spurs as well. I had thought prior interest of Wolves would likely have left with NES but they could take a chance on him joining on a loan to buy deal after his recent injury. The concern would be injury issues and, although talented, he is inconsistent. His agent says there have been further talks with both Liverpool and Barcelona. Milan may offer a deal similar to Wolves.}

Interesting, thanks a mil Ed002.

Haha, so at least we've got the exciting possibility of signing an inconsistent, injury prone and currently injured player to get the pulses racing on deadline day. LOL.

Smokescreens are part of Edwards tactical approach. You only need to look at the amount of bids that have been thrown about, 50m for demiral last jan is one example.
On that note, what do the Ed's know of his imminent departure next summer?

{Ed002's Note - Edwards will leave at the end of his contract and explore new opportunities.}

Edwards is wasted at Liverpool, if he goes to a club that gives him decent funds he will do great things, again.

Markp08 - think you get the award for most negative poster on here! I yearn for the return of negativeredwalter so you can have a good ‘moan off’….

Does Jones fit Klopp's tactics? Maybe Jones wants to play more often seeing as Elliott appears to be ahead of him now.

Just a realist John, Edwards obviously feels something isn’t to his liking as he is off. Great news on Hendo btw. Wish Salah would sign as well, then the window might not be seen as so bad after all.

{Ed002's Note - No, he is coming to the end of his contract and will want to try something new.}

Salah is going to be very difficult and expensive to replace. I can’t think of many wide players who regularly score more than 10 goals a season, or even look like replicating his levels.

I reckon mark08 is negative Walter. Nothing nice to say, say nothing.

Mark, Or Maybe Edwards who has been instrumental on our success not just with the recruitment or data analytics but with other ventures (stadium expansion project, AXA training facility, Nike deal etc. ), needs to move on and explore new challenges after being at the club for a decade. But hey, what do I know, right?
