Eds I know the club has spent a lot of money and the window is still opened for many weeks but I would like your inputs on progress and team requirements.
There was a lot of discussion after last summers window from the Eds and many fans that we didn't target our weak spots.
My question is do the Eds think we have targeted these weak spots in this window and which position you feel we must target (if any) to really challenge for minimum top 4 and more importantly to actually challenge for the title as I think with the vast sums of money FSG have spent we really should be pushing for the title right till the end of the season.
Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - A number of potential starters have arrived or are likely to arrive with Firmino, Clyne, Benteke, Ings and Milner. That is a pretty significant change to last season's team. Add to that two more defenders in Ilori and Gomez (both apparently promised playing time) and I think the team is ready to go. Sales will of course happen. I rather doubt a challenge for the title but that will be the expectation.}

Ed does this mean Kovacic isn't going to happen? Shame that

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool has had the opportunity to complete a deal for Kovacic - I have explained this over and over. They don't have the money to meet Inter's terms and are reluctant to meet the increased price Inter want under the terms Liverpool want.}

Qny chance something might change with kovacic when sterling is complete?

Also how can wr target a player like kovacic, not get him and not have a number 2 target lined up?

{Ed002's Note - It really doesn't work like that.}

There are only few player similar to Kovacic and we would never get him next year given Inter would try all they could to get inside the CL. they need to sell to balance the books and they are looking at adding more playes. They have very few player who would fecth some money.
I am some kinda optimistic that deal might go through ( end in the window )

My biggest concern would be liverpool would waste money on another player paying way over the odds if this deal doesn't go through ( panick buying late in the window )

Well there's medel, illaremendi, arranguiz, Cabaye, Morgan s

I'm not saying whose better etx or whose as good as who.

What I would say is thete all similar to what kovacic is and would do for us.

So we decided on kovacic because we saw that as a need and when the deal hadn't come off there is no number 2 target and not likely to be. Juts benteke now.

Why??

If kovacic has fallen through why isn't thete another player who we have sort out and scouted

{Ed002's Note - Coming up with random names of players from various positions makes zero sense. Clubs do not buy players just for the sake of it - although you seemingly want Liverpool to do that.}

Understanding all of the above ed and how long this has been going on & our reluctance to meet Inters terms and figures surely only means one thing.

Yeah I had no idea 87red lol. Thank you :)

Ed002 you keep posting the same thing on my posts about wanting the club to buy for the sake of it etc

My posts are nothing like that.

The point I am raising is did/do the club only have Kovacic as a target for midfield? If so why? The names I mentioned are just a couple of players who are similar. I didn't say I wanted the club to buy them or they were attainable either.

For another example. We have targeted a striker and benteke seems to be the target, now if that doesn't come through is that it for strikers on our target list??

These type of players I now mention aren't players I want or players we should sign but for example the list should be

1/ benteke 2/ austin 3/ gomez 4/ llorente

So if benteke doesn't come off we should still have players who are similar who we can then target

And the same should go for Kovacic.

1/ Kovacic 2/ Cabaye 3/ Medel 4/Morgan 5/ Sanson

Again they are NOT players I want or players the club should sign but surely that should be how it is

Every tom, dick and Harry knows we need a playmaker in the middle and the club seem to aswel with the interest in Kovacic but since that hasn't come off what there's noone else??

Im also not just wanting someone Brought in btw, I'm not adverse to the club going with say someone like Textera (defiantly spelt that wrong) inplace of getting kovacic but aslong as the club identify (which they have with the bid for mateo) and fix that playmaker issue.

Really sorry for rambling ed and I'm not cobby with you it just frustrates me because I feel midfield playmaker is a player we really need and it's the one bloody transfer the club are dordling over.

{Ed002's Note - It really doesn't work like that. Clubs look to specific players to improve them - they don't have long lists of players.}

Wells it bloody stupid.

Putting there eggs in one basket and then if that doesn't come off then what we know there's a problem that wr wanted to fix but wr just leave it.

I mean look at Chelsea. Some time back you said they were on the verge of d.costa then it turned to griezmann and now it looks to maybe br Pedro. There all players to get goals from the wing. So they have identified a problem and have a list of targets rather than one.

On another note the team looked good today and what a difference seing a striker run the channels in origi.

Clyne looked good :)

I was sat there and couldn't believe we still have firmino and coutinho to come back

What I will say though is we are knackered without a playmaker in the middle. Milner and Henderson will make a fantastic tandem, great performers and superb Ibjury records but they either need medel behind them to give them more freedom or kovacic to dictate play and Let them use there energy up and down the park.

{Ed002's Note - You don't this at all - there is no point keeping posting.}

Leave like the man u page ed2 as your not helpful at all.

What's the point in doing this, when you can't be arsed with us

Anytime anyone proves you wrong or calls you on something.

You just go oh you fans don't get it, no point posting etc

Frankly it's pathetic

You chose to do this didn't you so why such.hostility with it.

Lighten up or sod off.

Man u page is much happier now.
